Irish amateur club Ballybrack FC apologises after falsely reporting own player’s death
An amateur Irish football club have issued an apology after falsely reporting that one of their players had died.Dublin-based outfit Ballybrack FC informed the Leinster Senior League that Fernando Nuno La Fuente, a Spanish native, had been killed in a traffic accident last Thursday.3The side’s game against Arklow Town on Saturday was subsequently postponed, while other teams in the league held a minute’s silence in honour of the player.The league are also said to have posted a notice of his death in Irish newspaper The Herald before it was discovered that La Fuente was alive and well.Ballybrack FC said they had contacted the player to confirm his wellbeing, and described the incident as a “grave and unacceptable mistake”.3In a statement posted on Facebook, the club said: “It has come to the attention of both the club, senior players and the management team that a gross error of judgment has occurred emanating from correspondence sent from a member of the senior set up management team to the Leinster Senior League.“This grave and unacceptable mistake was completely out of character and was made by a person who has been experiencing severe personal difficulties unbeknownst to any other members of the club.”They added: “At this stage we can only offer our sincere apologies to the Leinster Senior League, our opponents Arklow Town FC and the host of clubs and football people who made contact with us or offered messages of support in recent days.”The club added that “the person in question has been relieved of all footballing duties” following an emergency meeting.Leinster Senior League chairman David Moran told RTE that the story “started to unravel” after they had enquired about offering support to the family.“We wanted to show our sympathies and go to the Mass and maybe meet the family and see what we could do to help in this horrible situation,” he said.“And we were told he was flown back to Spain on the Saturday. Straight away, that rang alarm bells for us. “We checked the hospitals, we checked everywhere. Nobody could find anything about this young fella. Obviously, some of his teammates released stuff on social media saying he went back to Spain four weeks ago.”The league issued a statement saying they had acted in “good faith” after being informed of the death, but added: “The league would like to offer their sincerest apologies for any distress caused as a result of notifying clubs as to the demise of a valued player.”3

Manchester United fans are furious with Jose Mourinho after Paul Pogba is dropped for Champions League clash with Young Boys
Manchester United manger Jose Mourinho doesn’t make life easy for himself.The Portuguese boss has once again irked the club’s supporters by dropping midfielder Paul Pogba for their Champions League clash with Young Boys.1Pogba, 26, played in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace but must now sit out for at least some of the important tie, which could have huge ramifications.If Valencia do not beat Juventus and United win at Old Trafford, qualification from a tricky Champions League group will be sealed.But despite the game’s significance, Mourinho has decided to start with Nemanja Matic and Marouane Fellaini in central midfield, which hasn’t gone down well.See what Man United fans said on Twitter below.

Pogba and Mata – United's only creative threats on the bench – I'm absolutely done with this manager #mufc— Dipak (@dipaksiyani) November 27, 2018

"Attack from the first minute"..ya ryt..with two def mid at home..and pogba, bailly on bench.. Good job.. #MUFC— Pradeep (@JPKutty) November 27, 2018

Mourinho dropping Pogba for Fellaini is serial killer behavior — Ferrel Cedano (@FACJR_) November 27, 2018

Pogba and Mata both benched…..Lindelof injured and he puts on Phil Jones instead of Bailly… pic.twitter.com/OY32SKSij5— Mohamed (@Mo33Moh) November 27, 2018

Mourinho makes me sick man. How can you drop pogba and not matic kmt— Martial FC (@courtenaycourts) November 27, 2018

Pogba deserves the free run that Matic is getting & Matic deserves the harsh treatment Pogba gets. We barely look competent with Pogba don't know what we'll play like without him.— ARYAN (@unitedaryan) November 27, 2018

If Im Paul Pogba. Ill will be asking for a transfer this January as long as mourinho is still the manager.— Mac (@Mac_0592) November 27, 2018

Pogba dropped but Matic starts????Jones instead of Bailly????It's like he's trying to make the most talented players leave the club https://t.co/ikVDO6TarO— (@adn___n20) November 27, 2018
