Raiders confirm QB Gardner Minshew out for season, look to Aidan O'ConnellDaily Post Nigeria EPL: It’s not red card, I love him – Maresca reacts to Ndidi’s tackle on Palmer Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Sport EPL: It’s not red card, I love him – Maresca reacts to Ndidi’s tackle on Palmer Published on November 23, 2024 By Don Silas Chelsea manager, Enzo Maresca has given his verdict on Leicester City midfielder, Wilfried Ndidi’s horror tackle on Cole Palmer. Maresca disagreed with the majority of Chelsea fans after referee Andy Madley did not award a red card to Ndidi for his strong tackle on Palmer during both teams’ Premier League tie on Saturday. The match ended 2-1 at the King Power on Saturday in favour of Chelsea. Nicolas Jackson and Enzo Fernandez scored the goals for the Blues against the hosts. But Ndidi, in the 22nd minute of the encounter, while attempting to chase Palmer, chopped the England star down from behind and made contact with the back of his opponent’s ankle. When asked for his opinion on the foul, Maresca, who coached Ndidi at Leicester, insisted that he did not believe it was a red card offense, adding that he loves Ndidi. “I don’t think Cole is the target. I don’t think that,” Maresca said at his post-match interview. “I’m not saying Wilf [Ndidi] was bad intention because I love Wilf. Overall, when there is bad intention, I think the punishment has to be different. He added, “I don’t think so. I saw the clip and I don’t think it is a red, to be honest. The other one [vs Manchester United] I said that was a red card, for sure.” Related Topics: EPL Maresca ndidi Palmer Don't Miss EPL: He’s doing very well – Maresca hails Chelsea star after Leicester win You may like EPL: He’s doing very well – Maresca hails Chelsea star after Leicester win EPL: They’ve been brilliant – Dietmar Hamann names club to win title, finish top four EPL: I love him – Amorim reveals Man Utd player he has ‘two positions’ for EPL: Strange, he’s never fit – Deeney knocks Chelsea’s decision to appoint 24-year-old as captain EPL: Guardiola seeks to avoid fifth back-to-back defeats for Man City, Tottenham eye second win EPL: I want to visit Nigeria soon — Spurs striker, Solanke Advertise About Us Contact Us Privacy-Policy Terms Copyright © Daily Post Media Ltd
McDermott, AFC East-leading Bills refreshed coming out of bye week, and looking ahead to host 49ersSean 'Diddy' Combs denied bail again after 2 months in jailEconomist Dr Damien King has described Prime Minister Andrew Holness’ announced 53 per cent cut in the General Consumption Tax (GCT) on electricity as “a bad move from every angle”. Set to take effect after the next Budget in March 2025, the GCT on the electricity component of a customer’s bill will move from 15 per cent to seven per cent. Holness made the announcement as he addressed the public session of the 81st annual conference of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) at the National Arena in St Andrew on Sunday. Some public commentators have already said the prime minister’s announcement is a mere general election ploy with the JLP trailing the Opposition People’s National Party in public opinion polls. The next general election is constitutionally due by September next year. READ: Holness announces 53% reduction in GCT on electricity Writing on the social media platform X on Monday, King said “...the election nonsense has begun”. King pointed out that GCT on electricity is the “perfect tax”. He said it was impossible to evade, progressive since rich people pay more and “cheap to collect since TAJ (Tax Administration Jamaica) does nothing (to enforce the tax)”. According to King “this will also disincentivise the transition to solar. A bad move from every angle”. In making the announcement, the prime minister noted that up to 30 per cent of Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS) customers were unable to pay their electricity bills which contributes to electricity theft. He said JPS will also remove the non-tax threshold and replace it with an “incentivised, compatible rebate of GCT for persons who use 200 megawatts of electricity or less per month”. This, he said, will allow for the roll out of pre-paid electricity purchase which the JPS will be required to implement nationally, but particularly in vulnerable communities.

NORMAL, Ill. — In closing the 2024 season on a cloudy, cold Saturday afternoon, the UND football program was consistent right up to the bitter end. The Fighting Hawks consistently struggled to stop the run and consistently were unable to perform on the road. ADVERTISEMENT UND lost a fifth-straight game for the first time since 1986 with a 35-13 loss against No. 14 Illinois State at Hancock Stadium. The Fighting Hawks gave up at least 35 points for the fifth-straight game and finished the year 0-5 on the road. UND ends the year 5-7, finishing under .500 for the fourth time in Bubba Schweigert's 11 years as head coach. Schweigert signed a contract extension through the 2027 season this past offseason but a lengthy losing skid to close 2024 has produced a growing buzz of those questioning his job security. "There's two people that I have concern how they feel and that's our athletic director and the president of the university," Schweigert said when asked about his future after the game. "The other stuff is outside noise." Illinois State's Wenkers Wright ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns as the Redbirds piled up 420 yards of total offense. "We've got to tackle better," Schweigert said. "We know that's a fundamental that we have to get better at. We have to be more physical up front and fit the run better." The game's turning point came early in the third quarter. ADVERTISEMENT The Fighting Hawks trailed 14-10 at halftime and the defense forced a stop on Illinois State's opening drive of the second half. UND running back Sawyer Seidl took the next three carries. The young speedster busted off a run of 11 yards, then an 18-yard run in which the Hawks' offensive line helped push the pile in a scrum situation. Seidl entered another scrum situation on his next carry and UND's sideline was energized by the physical running game. As the scrum carried on, however, Illinois State was able to rip a fumble away from Seidl at the last moment. Nine plays later, Wright scored from 18 yards out to extend the Illinois State lead to 21-10. "I didn't see it but it went to review and they confirmed it," Schweigert said. "We had three, four physical plays in a row. Sawyer was running hard, and it was unfortunate he lost the ball." UND was limited to 266 yards of total offense as quarterback Simon Romfo was 11-for-26 for 135 yards. "We left a lot of plays out there," said UND wide receiver Bo Belquist, who had three catches for 42 yards. "I thought our offensive line and running backs were super physical and did a great job. We got stuck on a couple of drives, and you can't do that against good teams and that's why they're in the playoffs." ADVERTISEMENT Belquist finishes his decorated career one touchdown shy of Greg Hardin's Division I school record for touchdown catches (31). "Not the way you want to end (your career)," Belquist said. "It wasn't my greatest performance out there but it's over and it is what it is. You have to move on and embrace the memories you made over the years and the relationships you created. Life goes on."Thomas scores 25 as Austin Peay defeats Georgia State 62-50
