Drugs shame and football report.

Too continue on the spate of today's posting here's a selection of things i have worked on as part of my course.

Drugs shame for football ace.
AFC Telford striker, Terry Fearns has been arrested on suspicion of possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply.
The 31 year old veteran was arrested after a drugs raid on his home in the Maghul area of Sefton, Merseyside on Wednesday 3rd March.

Lee Carter the Chairman of AFC Telford United has issued a statement explaining the short term future of Terry Fearns at the club. It read “AFC Telford United have written to Terry Fearns informing him of our intention to suspend him for a period of two weeks without pay.”
The suspension is due to take effect from Monday, as of yet Mr Fearns has yet to make an appeal.

The club are aware of the situation but have gone on record as saying that it is “ totally unbeknown and unrelated to the club”.

Currently no charges have been brought against Mr Fearns and he has been released on bail until May.

A fictional match report.

A late strike from Ashely Young was enough to pound more misery on local rival’s West Bromwich Albion as they continue to push for the elusive champions’ league place

Villa should have made sure of the points in normal time as they missed guilt edged chances either side of half time with John Carew coming close in the 60th minute when his volley from 12 yards crashed against the woodwork.

The defeat leaves Albion bottom of the table at Christmas and they will be hoping for a repeat performance of the 04/05 season when they completed the ‘great escape’ under former boss Bryan Robson.

As Albion continued to frustrate Aston Villa, tempers boiled over in the 80th minute as Stylian Petrov was shown his second yellow card of the match for a dangerous tackle on Albion captain Jonathan Greening, the first coming 3 minutes earlier for a late tackle on Robert Koren

A major talking point in the clash at Villa Park was the penalty claim in the 10th minute. Ashley Young went down under the challenge of Paul Robonson in front of the holte end only for referee Howard Webb to deny the Villians the chance to take the lead from the spot.

This proved a crucial victory for Villa as the festive period holds no let up as they chase the champions league places. Visiting Anfield and hosting world champions Manchester United in the next few days will really test Villa champions’ league credentials.

Martin O’Neill was delighted with the win over the baggies and quoted on Ashley Young
“Obviously I’m especially delighted for Ashley Young. You know he’s great lad”
On the other hand, Tony Mowbray was still upbeat about his side’s chances of survival stating there are more than 50 points to play for and we will continue to play the right football as Long as I am in charge of this club.
