SAINTS ended 2024 with an all-too-familiar feeling on Sunday when they suffered a 2-1 defeat at Crystal Palace. Southampton took the lead midway through the first half when Tyler Dibling scored his second senior goal but Palace levelled before the break. Trevoh Chalobah scored from a corner, much to the frustration of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who felt he had been pushed. His appeals fell on deaf ears, despite Jean-Philippe Mateta’s clear contact knocking him off balance, upon VAR inspection. Ivan Juric turned to Lesley Ugochukwu early in the second half to sure things up but Palace scored less than a minute later, winning the game through Eberechi Eze. Here's how we rated every Southampton player's performance against Crystal Palace... Ivan Juric suffered defeat in his first away game as Saints boss. (Image: PA) Aaron Ramsdale - 6. Made some important saves, preventing Palace from scoring more than twice. Rightfully annoyed with Palace's first, which was after Mateta pushed him. Had a limited view of Eze's winner. Aaron Ramsdale was beaten after being pushed into the post. (Image: PA) James Bree - 6. Came in to replace Yukinari Sugawara, who did not come off the bench. Created two chances but left Saints light on the right, along with Tyler Dibling. Had an effort from a tight angle. Completed two of his five crosses. Taylor Harwood-Bellis - 6. Played a key role in stopping Crystal Palace from scoring two or three in the first half. Wasn't afraid to clear his lines but struggled in the second half, twice fouling in quick succession, earning him a yellow card. Jan Bednarek - 6. Had a tough battle with Mateta but was not given much support by the midfielders in the first half. Was shoulder-barged off the ball by the Frenchman before being booked for a tug. Rescued from an own goal by Ramsdale. Nathan Wood - 5. Struggled against Ismaila Sarr in the first half because the Senegalese winger had the run on him - again in part due to the lack of midfield support. Improved after the break but delayed a through ball for Cameron Archer late on. Kyle Walker-Peters - 7. Played well down the left-hand side again. Bamboozled the Palace defenders with a strong run down the left, leading to Dibling's goal. Didn't deal with Daniel Munoz's ball back into the box, which fell for Eze. Southampton's biggest attacking threat. Kyle Walker-Peters created Southampton's goal out of nothing. (Image: Adam Davy/PA) Joe Aribo - 4. Struggled to impose himself for a third straight game. Held onto the ball in deep areas. Palace found it too easy to get the ball into the forwards behind him. Subbed minutes into the second half. Mateus Fernandes - 7. Struggled in much the same way Aribo did in the first half but was much better when Lesley Ugochukwu was introduced. Forced a save out of Dean Henderson after a moment of individual brilliance. Suspended for Brentford at home after earning his fifth yellow. Tyler Dibling - 6. Got Southampton going with his second goal of the season. Tapped in from close range after moving into a strong position. Struggled to cause many more problems after his goal as Saints ran out of gas. Tyler Dibling scored his second Saints goal against Crystal Palace. (Image: PA) Paul Onuachu - 5. Fed off scraps and had little service all game. Saints aimed balls towards him but he had little chance of doing anything with them. Took a knock before being replaced. Saints looked like a far worse side without him. Adam Armstrong - 5. Had an early effort off-target before providing the assist for Dibling's goal but offered very little. Limited to just 20 touches in 65 minutes. Adam Armstrong got his second assist of the season against Palace. (Image: PA) Substitutes Lesley Ugochukwu - 6. Gave Southampton more solidity in midfield but came on less than a minute before Palace scored the winner. Won two of three tackles. Should start against Brentford later this week. Cameron Archer - 4. Managed just five touches in 25 minutes. Was flagged offside having been played through by Wood, but the ball came too late. Kamaldeen Sulemana - 5. Introduced by Juric with Saints needing an injection of pace. Tried to make an impact but was unsuccessful with his one dribble and one cross. Cut down when he looked like beating a man and running through. Ryan Manning - N/A. Surprised Juric waited until the 86th minute to bring him on. Didn't play enough to be judged fairly. Set for more competition with Charlie Taylor back in the fold and Welington formally joining in January. Adam Lallana - N/A. Bought a free-kick right under the referee's nose. Should hopefully receive more minutes against Brentford.Holy Cross secures 82-46 victory over Regis (MA)

Morrissey throws 67-yard TD pass to Calwise Jr. to lift Eastern Kentucky over North Alabama 21-15Stormont minister Maurice Morrow told an official he would not raise the issue with the Northern Ireland Executive, despite similar measures being considered in England and Wales. A file on planning arrangements for the jubilee celebrations reveals a series of civil service correspondences on how Northern Ireland would mark the occasion. It includes a letter sent on January 11 2001 from an official in the Office of the First Minister/Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) to the Department of Social Development, advising that a committee had been set up in London to consider a programme of celebrations. The correspondence says: “One of the issues the committee is currently considering is the possibility of deregulating liquor licensing laws during the golden jubilee celebrations on the same lines as the arrangements made for the millennium. “It is felt that the golden jubilee bank holiday on Monday 3 June 2002 is likely to be an occasion on which many public houses and similar licensed premises would wish to stay open beyond normal closing time.” The letter said a paper had been prepared on the issue of extending opening hours. It adds: “You will note that paragraph seven of the paper indicates that the devolved administrations ‘would need to consider deregulation separately within their own jurisdictions’. “I thought that you would wish to be aware that this issue is receiving active consideration for England and Wales and to consider whether anything needs to be done for Northern Ireland.” Some months later a “progress report” was sent between officials in OFMDFM, which again raised the issue of licensing laws. It says: “I spoke to Gordon Gibson, DSD, about Terry Smith’s letter of 12 January 2001 about licensing laws: the matter was put to their minister Maurice Morrow (DUP) who indicated that he would not be asking the NIE (Northern Ireland Executive) to approve any change to current licensing laws in NI to allow for either 24 hour opening (as at the millennium) nor a blanket approval for extended opening hours as is being considered in GB. “In both cases, primary legislation would be required here and would necessitate consultation and the minister has ruled out any consultation process.” The correspondence says individual licensees could still apply for an extension to opening hours on an ad hoc basis, adding “there the matter rests”. It goes on: “DSD await further pronouncements from the Home Office and Gibson and I have agreed to notify each other of any developments we become aware of and he will copy me to any (existing) relevant papers. “Ministers may well come under pressure in due course for a relaxation and/or parity with GB.” The document concludes “That’s it so far...making haste slowly?” Emails sent between officials in the department the same month said that lord lieutenants in Northern Ireland had been approached about local events to mark the jubilee. One message says: “Lord lieutenants have not shown any enthusiasm for encouraging GJ celebrations at a local level. “Lady Carswell in particular believes that it would be difficult for LLs to encourage such activities without appearing political.”Trimble and Mallon sanctioned DUP ministers over rotation plan

Charleston Southern grabs late lead, stuns host Miami

Pakistan's security forces have launched a sweeping midnight raid on supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan who had stormed the capital demanding his release,, with hundreds arrested amidst chaotic scenes. or signup to continue reading Thousands of protesters had earlier gathered on Tuesday in the centre of Islamabad after a convoy, led by Khan's wife, broke through several lines of security all the way to the edge of the city's highly fortified red zone. The red zone, guarded by army soldiers, houses the country's most important offices and buildings, including the parliament and an enclave of foreign missions. At least six people, including four paramilitary soldiers, were killed before the Tuesday night raid was launched. Local broadcasters Geo News and ARY both reported that a massive raid was launched by security forces amidst a pitch-dark central Islamabad, where lights had been turned off and a barrage of teargas was fired. The protest gathering was almost completely dispersed, they reported. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said they planned on staging a sit-in in the red zone until the release of Khan, who has been in jail since August last year. One of the protesters was shot dead and the other was run over by a vehicle, Bukhari said. Authorities did not respond to a query seeking to confirm the deaths and Reuters could not independently verify the information. "It is not a peaceful protest. It is extremism," Sharif said in a statement, aimed at achieving "evil political designs". Sharif said the violence was driving the law enforcement agencies to the "limits of restraint". Amnesty International said the government must fully protect the rights of protesters and immediately rescind "shoot-on-sight" orders that it said gave undue and excessive powers to the military. Earlier, in a post on X from jail, Khan, 72, said his message to his supporters was to fight till the end. "We will not back down until our demands are met," he said, accusing security forces of firing on peaceful party workers. The violence erupted at the end of a march led by Khan's wife Bushra Bibi and his key aide Ali Amin Gandapur that arrived in Islamabad early on Tuesday. Reuters reporters saw some of the marchers ransack vehicles and set a police kiosk on fire. They also attacked and wounded journalists at two separate locations, people from two media houses told Reuters. The protest march, which Khan has described as the "final call", is one of many his party has held to seek his release since he was jailed in August last year. PTI supporters last marched on Islamabad in October, sparking days of clashes with police in which one officer was killed, but this week's protest is bigger in size and more violent, authorities said. They said the protesters were now armed with tear gas launchers, steel rods, slingshots and sticks and were setting fire to trees and grass as they marched. Reuters witnesses heard firing around the protests, although it was not clear who was responsible. Voted out of power by parliament in 2022 after he fell out with Pakistan's powerful military, Khan faces charges ranging from corruption to instigation of violence, all of which he and his party deny. Candidates backed by Khan's party won the most seats in a parliamentary election in February, but a coalition cobbled together and led by Sharif took power. Khan and the PTI say the polls were rigged following a military-backed crackdown to keep him out of power. The army has denied charges of election manipulation.

It's been a stop-start opening to the A-League season, and given the potential train strike mooted for this weekend, those intending to partake in Unite round festivities at Allianz Stadium might get a bigger dose of "Stop" than they might hope for. Login or signup to continue reading Ah, the best laid plans ... I get the concept, and it's hard to plan for unforeseen circumstances, but you are already taking a risk, scheduling multiple games in a potentially stormy Sydney in late November, for a code whose quality of product is reliant on the playing surface. Fortunately the weather forecast seems good for the majority of the weekend, fingers crossed. If the projected strike goes ahead protesters may be the main source of discontent. I speak of course of visiting Novocastrians who hate paying to park at the best of times, and face inconvenience, delay and some pretty steep prices to park in adjacent parkland. Cancel all police leave Mr Minns ... I'm joking I guess, but with an eye to the sanctity of home games, as well as quirky Novocastrian values. In round five last season the Jets were due to take on a Mariners side who had zero points, and a coach under enormous pressure, at McDonald Jones Stadium. Enter a chap called McCartney on the Tuesday night prior, and suddenly we are swapping home games with the Mariners, after his concert damaged the pitch. A sensible decision in the interests of player welfare, and product, but one that "could change the course of the Mariners season" wrote your scribe at the time. I don't know if the Jets would have won if it had been played up here, nor would I have suggested mortgaging the house to back them, but surely the ground swap at a critical moment in the Mariners season helped them and an under-pressure coach? The fact that after the Mariners won that game 2-0, and then went on a glorious 3000-game unbeaten run, picking up silverware ad nauseum, suggests they had a lot going for them, but perhaps board-level patience might have dissolved with one more defeat, and history told another story? Maybe not, we shall never know. But fast forward 12 months and here we are in round five, the Jets are playing their allotted home derby fixture against the Mariners at Allianz Stadium in Sydney. Not quite deja vu, but in the same postcode, and with both sides on three points and struggling for rhythm the Jets lose their territorial advantage. I realise others foresaking home advantage will travel a lot further to Unite-round matches, but early ticket sales suggest Mariners fans may outnumber Jets fans three to one on the night. And if our mob find out public transport could be a shambles and it could cost $25 to $30 to park at Moore Park ... it may get worse! The Jets are in ninth position , three points from three games, three points from bottom, and seven points from the leader. They face a trip to unbeaten Auckland next weekend, so to say this clash is important is a classic understatement. Their mental application has been excellent in one of their three matches to date, and below par in the other two. Coach Rob Stanton will need his troops fully concentrated for this fixture. Injuries have probably dictated that his best combination hasn't started a game this season, and to be fair he hasn't had much time, in real competition matches, to assess what 11 provides the best balance. It is an important match for the player-fan connection for the Jets as well. Is the team going to be good enough to escape the "almost", and "nearly" tags of recent seasons? Or are we in another rebuilding phase? Friday night can, and probably will paint a clearer picture, and call me old-fashioned, but I'd prefer it was at home.
