It's a foundation you know the hard way to education it's got it you know you've taken the last year but the last 8 years it's been in the Royal Air Force and you know I wouldn't have been able to achieve I have achieved in the last 8 years without the help of say.

Just a fantastic boy and just taken away it's awfully hard to actually it's hard to process shock. The Football Association are looking into comments made by Manchester United boss Joe say Marino Mr Taylor is a very good referee but I think somebody with intention he's. Putting such a pressure on him I feel that it would be difficult for him to have a very good performance on Tony Taylor takes charge of tonight's match between United and Liverpool at Anfield he's from Manchester but he's an old saying unfound managers are not supposed to speak about referees prior to matches Liverpool boss Jorgen club says they've not written off the threat posed by Wayne Rooney ahead of tonight's match the strikers been left on the bench for both club and country in recent weeks is a situation which can happen in a long career which already had a notion American have a few novel nice years in his career but now with is only one game but from my side he's a world class player and so both class careers are always a credit Southampton are up to 8th in the Premier League table after a comfortable $31.00 win at home to Burnley Burnley boss Shaun Dyke was critical of the penalty decision that led to Saints a 2nd ago although he is still very respectful of the opposition by going to their good side of the played really well particularly 2nd off they you know they are not good pockets to play and I broke the law in 12 as a dancer if he takes issue you know sharks it's almost him take anything away from the guy because I don't want to do that but these decisions of massive this level of what we need they scare you it makes a huge difference to the other guy in Kampala Football Association chairman Greg Dyke says significant enquiries were made about some advice before appointing him as England manager on advice ended up leaving his job after just 67 days following a newspaper sting clocked been speaking at the Department of Culture Media and Sport select committee hearing it was set up following reports of alleged corruption in the English game by 30 letters to who died. Because we want to manager whose sole priority is winning begin to say you admit he's so priority wasn't winning the you can join the woods among methods so Clarke says he would prefer a home grown manager to become the next permanent England boss Scout Southgate of course is in temporary charge Clarke's been explaining why. Sort of manager at the f.a.a. Is after killing which manager if we can get. This manager we'd like someone who has managed extensively in the Premier League so we understand sweet English school system he's developed the p.p.p.

Coming clear in a different game but every teleco was in want to go a little bit fortunate for a sense of messing up so it's been frustrating for me really starts from Mississippi's long ones when the pressure was really on. The shitter for me so turn the screw on suffering or in Congress up to much but I just couldn't do it Lee Westwood shot a final round of 67 to finish 3rd in Gulf British masters on 15 under par Sweden's Alex Norrin won the tournament finishing on 18 under or details from Chris Christie 3 tournament victories in as many months and Sweden's Alex Norrin is still not used to winning he dropped the British Masters trophy when it was handed to him but that was the only thing he did Romel week 4 rounds in the sixty's was enough for an 18 on the power finish and a 2 stroke win of Austria's bent Vespa Lee Westwood also looks to have put his Ryder Cup misery behind him with a 3rd place finish but the deserving praise must go Sonoran who could now begin to emerge from the enormous shadow cast by fellow sweet the Open champion Henrik Stenson When asked what's next Norrin simply replied stay humble good plan Team Sky psychiatry's to Professor Steve Peters says he has no reason to doubt the cycling team's integrity questions have been raised about the therapeutic use exemptions which allow athletes to take Brett banned drugs for medical reasons said Bradley Wiggins is at the center of that controversy and Britain's most decorated Olympian . Denies wrongdoing Professor Peters also defended Team Sky principal said Dave Brailsford. Both well as a man of integrity and as a teen the reason then he started and beat his chest to say this is going to be a clean team is because he meant it's going to cling to him and he is a man of integrity Sam Burgess has been appointed England's rugby league captain for the 4 nations Burgess will lead the side in the tournament less than 12 months after switching back from a disappointing spell in rugby union Burgess Sue plays for the South Sydney Rabbitohs was chosen ahead of James Graham who still likely to lead the side in Saturday's international against France and England start their 4 nations campaign against New Zealand and that's it for me more forces support now from Kathy. Yes. Thank you Andre now the r.a.f. Have had their best ever showing at the rule tournament equitation event they had 3 riders in the top 4 on the final day the Derby How did the defense Animal Center Melton Mowbray and it was Squadron Leader Caitlin Rowe who dominated winning the King's Cup Queen's Cup and the overrules high school Joan was in Leicestershire for the event where more used to seeing Caitlin roam a ski slope leading the r.a.f. Women but here at Melton Mowbray she's preparing her horse max for the culmination of the role tournament event but Dulcie recently we had some showjumping classes and today's r.v. And you may recall the Hickstead Dobby on t.v. That was a big bank so it's very similar to the like I said with a mixture of cross-country fences and showed 21 jumping up and so it's really quite quite big test for the horse I think it spreads over a kilometer through the field. Really good event he obviously feels it's a big tax. I want you all to watch as you've got to watch this. Competing with that one experience not emotion at this level yes. He's my best horse and then I'm not so. So. The 3 day meeting takes its origins from the original show jumping event staged at the much loved Earls Court ruled out the kings and queens Cup here the junior competitions attracted more than 70 riders from across the Army Navy and r.f. Major Richard Chambers of the Household Calvary Regiment hopes some of them could become future champions we've spend a lot more time and effort actually get in the grassroots. Riding go in and I think you know 76 competitors in the junior Darby today that's a good number and I think the last couple of days we've had sort of 80 to 90 competitors in the junior class is nuts not just army that's. Really good to see them coming out and having a go and you know continue the Arianne have only ever got 2 riders to Olympia before Caitlin Rowe actually won the title back in 2013 and says it's everyone's ambition to get there. As a small child to watch it with my mum and never dreamed I'd have one day of the opportunity to ride there and it's absolutely fabulous and led by her along with team members Sergeant gold and squad leader some Martin they achieve 3 of the top 4 places subject to confirmation They'll be among the top 8 to compete in the forces championship at Olympia just before Christmas. Elsewhere the army Table Tennis Association a keen to develop the sport and develop players who have the potential to represent the army in services level a recent table tennis tastes a session that all shot Garrison featured players from across the Army with many hoping to make the most of the elite level coaching on offer in Evans went along to the event and spoke to Ami had caged John full to ask him about the standard of play within the military and to chat about the benefits the sport has on body and the mind across the forces. And the Oriental always led the way had ever taken caustic strength in depth for many years but on the Army side of it we quite often have been on the show as champions but maybe not the same strength and depth to us working to build on what you like your players to go to they have aspirations ambitions of going on further. Some are players I think we cover a wide spectrum some would maybe be keen to represent maybe their regiment at that level or play in local leagues and hope that maybe they can aspire to being on the actual army team in the future because of a sport like this always gets a boost when they saw the Commonwealth Games time or or the the Olympics so do you see the surge amongst the soldiers when when it's on when it's televised I think so definitely that can only help there is huge coverage of us or a positive nature for table tennis in the Olympics and in the Paralympics and it was really good to see a lot of high profile media with people coming here is that your ambition then perhaps one day one of these players will emerge as an international standard player. That would be career certainly With been and they are forces the fitness level is a very high which will be benefits in the Olympic sport we did have an Irish international player represent us in the under services and he was just a totally different league. And so it would be nice to have another young player can through that level days like this really help and hone those skills you got a coach on board to help players develop their game show that they can emerge and challenge for all is yet. No very much. But today and for this event we have Allison brew is a former England international player carrot top flight stuff so it's great to have her here coaching it gives out sort of cutting edge to what we're trying to achieve it's a great sport and one that's probably more accessible than soldiers think because in a message across the country there will be a table tennis table. The phone element is massive as we all know no matter what your age or what your ability you can always have a good laugh and a bit of fun playing table tennis or a ping pong as some would call it no better example of course than in Forrest Gump who is a pretty outstanding soldier and a pretty good at it. It might be dismissed the values not just for health but for mind as well but on the table tennis. When it comes to commission really does help individuals yes no and that is correct Jules it's been quite a few high profile television programs of late one with Angela Rippon that showed the benefits in which you get to weigh the onset of Alzheimer's is a study that's going on moment so it is very much an active body active mind sport and always keep your thinking as well as keep me physically fit as well. Finally nominees for martial arts dominate this year's Army Sports Awards and this coming weekend the Army has their winter competition in all the shot which is why it's been speaking to the Army and on forces sex trade martial arts major Ronnie Harley missing becoming popular and more we have 5 disciplines. Which is a stable is going great guns are some. Of that question has. Been has witnessed child.

To try forward one to watch for the future taekwondo which is the to the National Farm and again a small one but deal with a ship and it's going forward not a terminal to take that as far as it can go and last but always has been on art which is kind although not the most popular profession the association as I want to say in the piece which they are as a stand to fall for some healthy you know and to disappoint via eventually 5 disciplines come under the banner of martial arts when you have the competition all those competitions at the same time yes we do have 2 competitions the year one in March so next will be a mouse next year we've got one coming up a try to 2nd October little both combat sports is kind of the slowness and road and the 5 disciplines. Only there is a corporate and collective competition essentially just very other but it is martial arts are bound to come along we wanted to and have a goal they must competitions where we are where we be faint the what or who is the . Champion and whether it may be taekwondo b.g. Candle or what is classed as authentic or competition where we carry the best and. So much if you. Want to take which side it's up to the national international standard stuff in the new guys that's bizarre in jujitsu they went to Las Vegas recently that bad and that is a good time but more importantly from I was brought back and came back with a gold medal so he's a fast ball champion. And as I say he's one of 3 for Sportsman of the year he's up against a cat a guy and that category press more and he's probably one of the best free in England committee faithing and cannot have got those in karate as well after a fling with the vets Brian Hall and I got international David Johnson Wagner to police the face of Scotland cattle Specialist James Nash kind of enjoyed Stephen Broadbridge see here we just know engineers can already see so we've got a strong team and Cathy and taekwondo. Again he's. So. You know. So. So. So.
