Conor McGregor Found Liable For 2018 Sexual Assault In Civil TrialYes, definitely. We were the better team, more dangerous against a very well-organised Tranmere team. They have experienced players and they are tough to play against. I thought a little bit of magic, which Joel (Colwill) provided would probably decide the game. Thankfully, the way we held out right at the end, with the corners and long throws, it was a massive improvement on how we defended from last weekend. If we'd defended like that last weekend, we'd have won comfortably. It depends which way you look at it. I thought he was excellent tonight, but he wasn't hitting the target very much, so you never know. It was a real team performance tonight and I've just praised Matty Taylor in there in front of the boys for three headed clearances right at the end, which shows the importance of putting the team first. He is going to be frustrated that he's not starting, but he's not chucked his toys out of the pram, he's kept his head down and he has just shown what being a team player and a squad player is all about, so fair play. That's the environment we are trying to breed here. That's the thing, I know we can do it. That's why I was so frustrated last weekend. To have a clean sheet after conceding three last week was important and there were some fantastic performances tonight. Tom Bradbury, Benno (Scot Bennett), Stubbsy (Sam Stubbs) were all solid as a rock. (Liam) Kinsella and Youngy (Luke Young) were excellent. It was a good performance, a solid performance. I couldn't care if we'd won 9-8, you still get the same points, it would just have been a little more exciting and nerve-racking if I am honest, but the way they stuck together and defended was excellent tonight. Maybe we should have had a penalty first half as well. Their player has cleared one off the line that was going in and we've cleared two for them where we've hit our own players. I thought we deserved it tonight. I haven't watched it back, but it didn't look good. I am not one who jumps around asking for players to be sent off, you have to trust the referee and the officials in that. I will watch it back, but I did think it could have been a red at the time. Luke was injured and I hope it's not a bad one because he's a good lad and I don't like seeing players getting injured. It's not my call and the referee was a bit closer than me, so I'll have to watch it back. Yes and I spoke to the referee afterwards. I thought he did reasonably well tonight. but it could easily have been given. The incident with the tackle, I'll have to watch back, but it's one of those where we have won the game and that's all that mattered tonight. I am not sure yet. My wife Victoria's voice has gone, so I am hoping I can get away with not getting nagged all day! All she wants is for me to put the Christmas tree up, or to get into the attic and get it out. I will take the boys to the driving range in the morning because they like a little bit of golf and I think it'll be a bit of a family day tomorrow. Yes, 100 per cent. He has to be doing that more, week-in, week-out and that's the whole point of him coming on loan. Cardiff are trusting us with him. I do think he plays better in night games. I have told him, I am going to tell him every game on a Saturday is a 7.45pm kick-off and with it getting a bit darker now, he might actually believe me! His best performances have been in the evening games and I thought he was superb tonight. Yes, I was right behind it and saw it, but his whole performance. A couple of his shots were a bit off, but that's fine. The way he was driving at them, making space for himself, I thought he was excellent. It doesn't matter, if we were losing the cup games, I know you would be saying one win in nine, so it works both ways! In some of the cup games, when you are playing a weakened team and things like that and fans or pundits are saying they have only won one, but some change things up completely, so it's important to breed success. We have seen the Trophy draw tonight, with Cambridge United at home, so we'll give that a right good go. I've had to cancel a trip to Dortmund, going to watch Borussia Dortmund training and the game that week. I am a little bit devastated with that, but Cheltenham Town obviously comes first and they are the sacrifices we have to make! I will look to yes. João Tralhão, the assistant manager there, is a good friend of mine. I went over and did my Pro Licence study visit at Benfica when he was there, so fortunate to know João because he's an unbelievable gentleman and coach. Every time I see him, I feel I have learned something and I appreciate it because he is definitely a good guy.The 2021 season was a rollercoaster ride for tennis fans around the globe, with the ongoing pandemic causing disruptions to the usual calendar of events and creating opportunities for underdogs to shine.

Title: Embracing the Retro Charm: The Timeless Beauty of Wen Yongshan's Film-Like FaceMINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The plan for the Minnesota Vikings was to bring in Sam Darnold as the bridge between Kirk Cousins and J.J. McCarthy, confident his strong arm and starting experience would sufficiently run a high-caliber offense until the rookie was deemed ready to play. Darnold's performance to date has been much closer to superstar than mere stopgap. “He’s a baller," Vikings safety Harrison Smith said. "He can make stuff happen when he needs to. I know with the outside narrative on him and his path and everything, you might not think that, but ever since he got here, it felt like that was going to happen.” Having led the Vikings (10-2) to their fifth consecutive victory with the go-ahead touchdown pass against Arizona last week, one game after a stellar overtime drive to beat Chicago , Darnold has become one of the darlings of this NFL this season with his success in coach Kevin O'Connell's system after the third overall pick in the 2018 draft started his career in rather bleak fashion. His first year in Minnesota sure has been smoother than what Cousins has gone through in his debut with the Atlanta Falcons . Last week in a loss at home to the Los Angeles Chargers, Cousins matched his career high with four interceptions. “I don’t think anybody can put any more pressure on Kirk than he has for himself. He’s carried us through this season when we were figuring out a lot of things on defense,” Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jarrett said. “He’s just having a hard time right now. There’s nothing to say he can’t catch fire and light it up like he’s been doing.” The Falcons (6-6) take their three-game losing streak on the road to face the Vikings, with division races for both teams in full swing. The quarterback contrasts have made this matchup all the more intriguing, with Cousins coming back to the place where he spent the previous six seasons. Cousins has a $25 million salary cap hit this season, the 11th-highest among quarterbacks in the league. Even if the Falcons were to move on in 2026 and swallow the dead money for two more years with eighth overall pick Michael Penix Jr. waiting in the wings, Cousins will carry a $40 million charge in 2025. Darnold’s cap charge is $5 million this season, just 31st on the list. Though he will become a free agent in March, the Vikings structured his contract with void years to spread his cap hit into next season for another $5 million. McCarthy, the 10th overall pick, won't be ready until next year after having surgery to repair the meniscus he tore in his right knee in his first preseason game. Though Darnold has had a couple of clunkers this year, the Vikings still won those games and he's bounced back strong without letting interceptions linger into future decisions. "He’s kind of found a little balance, at least the last few weeks, of ‘When is it too risky?’ and ‘When can I take my shot at something?’” offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said. The Falcons have seen as much on tape. “I think he’s playing free,” Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates said. “It’s not a lot of complicated throws or anything that he’s doing. I just think that he’s finally able to feel comfortable in himself.” Falcons coach Raheem Morris decided to address the significance of Cousins’ homecoming with the team, bracing for the type of crowd reaction that will only intensify the noise at U.S. Bank Stadium that's already daunting for opponents. Minnesota's defense has thrived this season at home, using the fans to enhance the effectiveness of a disguise-based, aggressive scheme that leads the league with 18 interceptions and has also been adept at rushing the passer and stuffing the run. “The environment they create up in Minnesota is absolutely outstanding,” Morris said. Cousins isn't the only key figure from the Falcons who's well-known to Vikings coaches. Morris was the defensive coordinator in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams when O'Connell was the offensive coordinator and Phillips was the tight ends coach on that Super Bowl champion team. Vikings running back Aaron Jones has fumbled three times in the last two games, losing two of them, but he hasn't lost the confidence of coaches or teammates as evidenced by the pass called for his go-ahead touchdown catch against the Cardinals. Family is a strong support system for him, too, but sometimes that means tough love. His mother, Vurgess Jones, let him have it after the game when they talked about the turnovers. “I was like, ‘I’ve got to learn from it,'” Jones said. “She was like, ‘You didn’t learn last week?'” He has matched his career high in 2024 with five fumbles and three lost, a fact not lost on a Falcons defense that's aggressive with dislodging techniques despite only four recovered fumbles in 12 games. “You can see it all over the tape: Those guys are coaching it," Phillips said. Vikings outside linebacker Jonathan Greenard, who was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Month after racking up eight tackles for loss in November, carried his pass-rushing mojo into December with a couple of clutch plays in the final minute to preserve the victory over Arizona. Greenard has 10 of the team's 39 sacks. “How many times this year has he affected the quarterback, drawn a penalty, sacked the quarterback, strip-sacked like last week in these critical moments where you need your best players to go make those plays?” O'Connell said. “He’s done it time and time again.” Falcons running back Bijan Robinson set a career high last week with 26 carries. He had 102 yards rushing and was again a significant part of the passing attack with six catches against the Chargers. “I just do whatever I can to help us as a team,” said Robinson, who’s fifth in the NFL with 1,277 combined yards from scrimmage. “I just trust whatever they have in the plan.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL
