With FIFA President Gianni Infantino a huge advocate of VAR, it seems there is no stopping the growing influence of technology within football. FIFA is considering the possibility of removing linesmen and replacing them with robots, in the use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR), the UK Mirror reports. Assistant referees could become a thing of the past, as a specific department has now been created, to explore just how influential technology could be on football. If the findings from FIFA’s VAR team prove that technology can be beneficial and perfectly accurate, the offside flag could also become a thing of history. “FIFA already has a department set up researching into these exact areas." “Will they replace referee assistants completely with cameras and computers ruling offsides and throw-ins? It could happen one day,” a source confirmed. While robots operating down the side of the pitch may be a distant ambition for FIFA chiefs, the anti-VAR brigade will surely be angered by the ...

Andy Ruiz Jr It took a pretty big chunk of change, but Andy Ruiz Jr. has reportedly agreed to fight Anthony Joshua in Saudi Arabia after initially balking at the setting, according to The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger. Ruiz, the WBA (Super), IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champ, is contractually obligated to fight Joshua due to a clause in his contract from their first fight, which Ruiz won in shocking fashion. It was initially announced Ruiz and Joshua would meet again on Dec. 7 in Saudi Arabia, but political criticism around the country following the killing of Washington Post reporter Jamal Khashoggi was a sticking point for the reigning champ. Like most standoffs, the remedy turned out to be a significant amount of money. The Athletic reports that Ruiz reached an agreement to fight in Saudi Arabia as scheduled in exchange for a raise from an $8 million guaranteed package to a $10 million package. Joshua would have been within his rights to locate the fight in his native United Kingdom, b...

Ziggy Marley The 50-year-old musician “can’t even remember” when he had his first puff of the psychoactive drug but he knows that he was “too young” to dabble with cannabis and only did it because his father Bob Marley – who died at the age of 36 from a four-year battle with skin cancer – encouraged him to do so as part of their religion. Speaking to Reader’s Digest, Ziggy said: “Smoking marijuana wasn’t considered a bad thing in Rastafarian culture. It wasn’t something to hide from the kids. “I can’t even remember when I had my first spliff, I was around nine. I was very young, too young. I wouldn’t have let myself do it in my father’s place. “But it was a part of our religion – we’re one of those ancient cultures with traditions that modern society wouldn’t accept.” Although a lot of people around him were smoking marijuana for “fun”, Ziggy actually relied on the drug to strengthen his relationship with spirituality. He explained: “When I first consciously decided to smoke weed as a ...
