Thomas hails RFLs homophobia stance
Tigers fined 40,000 over homophobic chanting Crusader says I now feel a lot saferGareth Thomas has hailed the Rugby Football League for sending out "an amazing message" by fining Castleford after he was subjected to homophobic abuse during a game at their ground.The Crusaders winger, who announced he was gay in December, was taunted by members of the crowd in a Super League match at the Jungle on 26 March. Yesterday the RFL imposed a 40,000 fine on Castleford as a result of the incident - a ruling the club is likely to appeal.Thomas, 35, said the punishment was justified. Speaking to the BBC, he said: "Its not the amount of the fine, or whatever it may be to me, its the fact that the rugby league authorities have clamped down on it and sent an amazing message outside of rugby league as well."I think it has sent an amazing message to sport in general - supporters and people who want to come and play the sport. This fine ... will hurt Castleford people, and I dont get any satisfaction that this is going to mean tough times for the Castleford team, but ultimately something had to be done about it."I now feel a lot safer. Not that I felt unsafe before, but I feel a lot safer now. Im sure people outside of rugby league will look at it and maybe embrace their own sport with the care that the rugby league authorities have done with this incident."Gareth ThomasCastlefordRugby leagueGay rights guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Wimbledon 2010: Tomas Berdych beats Novak Djokovic to reach final
Czech 12th seed wins semi-final 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 Will face either Andy Murray or Rafael Nadal in Sundays finalTomas Berdych has become the first Czech to reach the mens final at Wimbledon since Ivan Lendl in 1987 after a 6-3, 7-6, 6-3 victory over Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.The 12th seed reached his first grand-slam final with a thunderous display of hitting from the back of the court against the third seed, who received a code violation for racket abuse after a show of frustration when losing the second set."The feeling is amazing, to reach another victory over another great player, Novak Djokovic, in straight sets, its amazing," said Berdych who beat Roger Federer in the quarter-finals. "I think [for] every young kid who first time hits the ball, this is the dream to be in the final of any grand slam. And if you can do it at Wimbledon its amazing. Its definitely the biggest tournament for me. It couldnt be better."Berdych took the opening set in 33 minutes with a single break and served for the second at 6-5, but Djokovic revived his chances with a break of his own to take it to a tie-break.Djokovics hopes of a comeback were effectively finished when he double-faulted to lose the tie-break 11-9 after Berdych had let slip a 6-2 lead.Berdych broke for a 5-3 in the third after another double fault from the Serb, and sealed the victory in the next game when a service return flew wide off Djokovics racket after two hours and 18 minutes.The 24-year-old smiled and clenched his fist towards his entourage in celebration.

Lewis Hamilton: It felt amazing to hit the sweet spot every lap
British driver celebrates timely win for himself and McLaren I can feel the whole team and the whole factory jumpingThere was jubilation for Lewis Hamilton in the wake of his victory at the German Grand Prix, the first time the British driver has scored points or a podium finish at the historic circuit in the Eifel mountains.Speaking from his cockpit after crossing the line Hamilton said: "Great job, that was amazing, oh wow!" and immediately went on to acknowledge his team, who have been under pressure all weekend. "Thank you so much for pushing so hard. The car was so nice to drive - thanks to you guys," he said.The excitement had still not worn off after the race. "I am buzzing. I cant express the feeling inside when I win. I cannot imagine anything I could feel like this. It is a mixture of lots of things - not expecting to win, the ups and downs, the things said against you and then the win and that is a victory for the whole team and I feel the energy from them."Hamilton had expressed disquiet that his car was not closer to challenging the Red Bulls and had suggested a good performance in qualifying was beyond their capabilities. Having put the car on the front row on Saturday and taken the chequered flag on Sunday he was keen to reinforce the positive emotions and mitigate some of his previous comments. "I can feel the whole team jumping and I can feel the whole factory jumping," he said."My dad always told me when I was growing up to do my talking on the track and it is very difficult to stick with that because sometimes you want to let off steam off the track, which I have. But today I did all my talking on the track."All of which, understandably, had pleased the McLaren team principal, Martin Whitmarsh, as well. "What can I say? Lewis was perfect in qualifying and perfect in the race, and the result was perfect too," he said.There was, possibly, an element of relief in the reaction to Hamiltons performance for Whitmarsh and the whole team. The pressure on them to deliver success is intense but Whitmarsh seemed genuinely taken with Hamiltons drive."I reckon his 16th grand prix victory was one of his very best. A scintillatingly authoritative performance that all too clearly underlines what a fearsomely competitive individual he is."There was also the question of just where McLaren had found the extra pace. "I think we never expected to come here this weekend and be so fast," said Hamilton."It was amazing to put in a performance like that. Through the race, my consistency was amazing. It felt amazing to hit the same sweet spot and hit the apex everywhere the same time every lap. To be able to do that feels phenomenal."Jenson Button had struggled from a slow start and had to retire. It is too early to tell whether McLaren can move this form onwards but after his debut win at the Nurburgring, Hamilton believes he has found a new benchmark."In this race I was always striving for perfection," he said. "In some race wins before they werent perfect - maybe I didnt have the best pit-stop or did something. That frustrates me. It kills me but I still won. This race was as perfect as I have ever had."Formula OneLewis HamiltonJenson ButtonMcLarenMark WebberMotor sportGiles Richards guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Jimmy Anderson can be the best in the world, says former England coach
Peter Moores praises his Lancashire pace bowler It has been an amazing end of year for himJimmy Anderson has what it takes to become the best bowler in the world, according to his former England coach Peter Moores.Despite making a 21,000-mile round-trip midway through the campaign to attend the birth of his second daughter, Anderson has played a major role in the Ashes victory. Moores, the coach at Andersons county club Lancashire, has seen him mature over the last few years and now believes he is ready to become the best in the world."He is in the top three now, and has a great chance to become No1 in the world rankings if he keeps performing as he is doing," Moores told the Manchester Evening News."He bowls at genuine pace and has natural rhythm. People said he wouldnt be able to swing the ball in Australia but he has done so. It has been an amazing end to the year for him, with the birth of his daughter, but even then he showed how professional he is by staying on Australian time while over here so he was ready to get straight back into action when he returned."Moores added: "If it finished 2-2 England will be disappointed. They want to become the best team in the world so will be straight back to business. They know they are the better side and want to prove it."The AshesJimmy AndersonEngland cricket teamPeter MooresCricket guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Manchester Uniteds amazing Ryan Giggs to be rested against Arsenal

But the veteran Welshman will be missed."It is a strange thing because Ryans peak seems to have lasted so long now," said Sir Alex. "You would think at 37, he would be showing signs of waning. I dont see any evidence of that. We look after him in terms of rest before games."He wont be playing on Sunday. He maybe will play next Wednesday. That is the way we have to deal with him now.

Liverpools Jose Enrique hoping for good reception from Newcastle fans
Enrique and Andy Carroll set to face old club on Friday Defender moved to Anfield from Newcastle in AugustThe Liverpool full-back Jose Enrique is hoping for a positive reception from the Newcastle United fans when he makes his first appearance against his old club on Friday.Enrique moved to Anfield in August for a fee in the region of 6m, calling the transfer "one of the happiest days of my life", but said he still feels close to the Newcastle crowd."I had very good moments there ... They have amazing fans, it is an amazing city. I still love Newcastle and will do all my life. But I play for Liverpool now and I want three points because it is important that we get them."I hope the fans understand why I moved. I gave everything for Newcastle, I always gave 100% and nobody can say any different. I played in the Championship after they got relegated. I wanted to stay and help because I was part of the reason that we dropped out of the division."But an opportunity to play for Liverpool came along and I couldnt refuse it. We are one of the best teams in Europe. You cannot say no when a team like Liverpool comes for you."Enrique said he was impressed by Newcastles form so far this season given the number of players they lost in the summer, including the striker Andy Carroll, who could also feature for Liverpool against his old club."They sold a lot of players ... when you sell a lot of players, normally the team drops a little bit but they are doing really well. Demba Ba has come in and is on fire this season. They are doing really well and I am happy for them."Newcastle UnitedLiverpool guardian.co.uk © 2011 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

Kenya: Next Polls Can Only Take Place in 2013
We were astounded to read in the leader in Daily Nation on 23 July that elections for the next Parliament have to be held on the 14 August 2012 ("Constitution is clear on the date of elections"). Those who argue that the correct date is 15 January 2013 were summarily dismissed. It is amazing that the leader writer of the biggest newspaper in the country should not have done his/her home work. Indeed we observe a similarly cavalier attitude to the text of the constitution in the media [detalii...]

The Ashes 2010-11: England and Australia reaction
Strauss: The guys should be proud of what theyve achieved Clarke: Weve been outplayed in all facets of the game"The bowlers were fantastic and the batsman dipped their bread in it again. Were certainly going to enjoy this. You need strength on a tour like this and a lot of guys have really put their hands up. They should be proud of what theyve achieved, and that goes for the backroom staff and the players that havent played as well. Paul Collingwood is a massive loss"Andrew Strauss"I tried to bowl straight. Luckily he [Beer] dragged on and to take the last wicket is brilliant. Its great to get an opportunity and be here. Its an amazing feeling and I couldnt imagine this would happen. We gave ourselves a chance to finish it yesterday but didnt, so we turned up today and bowled in the right areas"Chris Tremlett"Its a great day and its been a great tour. Its an amazing feeling for us. Ive been delighted with my form this tour. I enjoy my role leading the attack but my job has been made easier by the guys at the other end. Chris Tremlett has been amazing, so has Graeme Swann and Tim Bresnan, not forgetting Stuart Broad and Steven Finn"Jimmy Anderson"The absolute number one day of my career. I cant think of a better way to bow out of Test cricket. There are some great guys in that dressing room and this feels very special. Ive got great memories and this is a very special day. When youre enjoying cricket with a lot of great lads you are going to miss it. But youve got to move on and this team will go on to bigger and better things. To bow out in front of so many English fans, having won the Ashes in Australia, it couldnt get any better"Paul Collingwood"England deserved their 3-1 win. They did things with bat, ball and in the field better than us for long periods of time. We have to look at ourselves and make sure that we are ready to go"Brad Haddin"Its amazing. To be there when Chris Tremlett took the final wicket will live long in the memory. I want to thank everyone - its been a great trip. Ive put in a lot of hard work and have got more experience and got a little bit better. I couldnt imagine how these seven weeks would go. My best innings was the 200 at Brisbane. Ive never got a first-class 200 or a Test 200 and to win man of the match in the final game of the Ashes is a dream come true"Alastair Cook"Its been a tough couple of months and weve been outplayed in all facets of the game. England have showed us what execution and discipline with the ball can do and made some big scores with the bat, too. The feeling in our changing room has been pretty good all series but like all fans and players were not happy that weve not been able to do as much as wed have liked. We need to go back to the drawing board and work our backsides off but this side has a lot of talent. We need to stick together. Weve played some good cricket but very inconsistently. Every day we are looking to improve as players and as a team"Michael ClarkeThe AshesAustralia cricket teamEngland cricket teamCricket guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]

Yaya Toure: Lifting FA Cup with Manchester City would be very special
Midfielder delighted to score winning goal in semi-final The club has waited so long ... I want to be part of historyYaya Toure won two Spanish league titles as well as the Champions League and Club World Cup with Barcelona but the midfielder says securing an FA Cup winners medal would be up there with his previous achievements. Toure scored the only goal of the game as Manchester City moved a step closer to their first trophy in 35 years by defeating Manchester United on Saturday."I won many trophies at Barcelona but this one would be very special because the club has waited for so long and I want to be part of this history," Toure told the Manchester Evening News. "It was amazing to score the goal that got us to the final, for a club which has not won a cup in my life."This is why I came to City, because I want to be a part of making history. At the start of the season we told you we wanted Champions League football and to win a trophy and now we can do both."The Manchester City players gave each other a half-time dressing down, having failed to take the game to United. They will now face Stoke for the chance to lift the FA Cup but Toure said the team wanted to repay the support of the fans by ensuring that City finished the season in the top four of the Premier League as well."The fans were fantastic, amazing," said Yaya. "We were really proud of them. Now we want to make sure they have Champions League football next year, as well as winning something this year."Manchester CityFA CupAlan Gardner guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2011 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More [detalii...]
