Scottish derby in Glasgow

The two best teams in Scottlant will meet for another huge derby in Glasgow where Celtic will play against Glasgow Rangers. Right now Glasgow are leading with 11 points and this game will not deceide anything. This local derby exists from the foundation of the 2 teams and was a reason even for relligious arguing, because one of the teams is a catholic team and the other one is protestant. Celtic's last trophy was in 2008 and their main opponent was Glasgow Rangers. In Scotland there are only 2 teams that could win the league and this is one of the main reasons to have a huge local derby like this one that could be compared as the one in Manchester (Manchester United vs. Manchester City). When Celtic meets Glasgow Rangers in the capital of Scotland there are always many fans that are here to support their teams. This derby could be between teams that aren't the best in the UK, but it is still one of the most important ones, because a derby is made not only by the players on the stadium, but also from the fans who support their teams.

John Higgins suspension over match-fixing allegations throws snooker into crisis

The world's number one snooker player was suspended yesterday, hours before the sport's annual showpiece, in the wake of match-fixing allegations that threaten to fatally undermine the sport.
John Higgins, a three-time world champion, was suspended by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association and his manager, Pat Mooney, resigned from its board as the governing body launched an immediate inquiry.
Higgins and his manager, Pat Mooney, were alleged by the News of the World to have agreed to accept €300,000 (£261,000) in return for arranging the outcome of four frames in matches to be played later this year. The deal was allegedly made at a meeting with the paper's undercover reporters in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.
Higgins was one of a handful of top players seen as central to plans recently unveiled by the WPBSA chairman, Barry Hearn, to revive a sport that has suffered a decline in popularity among television viewers and sponsors in recent years.
Higgins and Mooney were alleged by the newspaper to have agreed to lose a specific frame in four matches later this year. There was no suggestion that Higgins had previously deliberately lost a frame or match. In a statement read out on the BBC before its live coverage of the world snooker final, between Neil Robertson and Graeme Dott, Higgins insisted he had "never deliberately missed a shot, never mind intentionally lost a frame or a match" and said his conscience was "100% clear".
Mooney said that the pair could be "accused of being idiots and possibly naïve in hindsight" but had been the victims of intimidation by what they believed to be "serious Russian crime figures" and clever editing. "However, to have been so deliberately set up in a foreign country when doing nothing other than working on behalf of snooker is malicious in the extreme," said Mooney. Snooker is seen as particularly at risk because of the vast number of matches around the world and the difficulty in telling whether a player has deliberately lost a frame.

The Champions League: unexpected win for Inter and a dramatic victory for Bayern

The two days of the Champions League were very dramatic. Bayern won with 1:0 with a shot of Robben and a lucky head of Muller that gave the dangerous trajectory. Barcelona had a very difficult game that wasn't expected and lost the game with 3:1. The first match was played in Italy where Inter were obviously the better team. Barcelona didn't have a chance to prove themselves and the result showed it. Messi as well as Xavi was unable to perform many good attacks, because Inter were very powerful in defence and didn't allow him to get the ball very often. In the 19th minute Pedro Rodriges scored for Barcelona and the answer from Inter came only 11 minutes after it. The goal was scored by Wesley Sneijder. After the first halftime Micon scored and right after him scored Diego Milito. During the match in Spain Barcelona have to socre 2 goals to classify for the finals, but Inter will make sure to meet Bayern on the last stage. The other game was played on Wednessday 21 April. Bayern played against Lyon in a very dramatic game with 2 red cards. Ribery made a foul that was thought to be very dangerous and received a red card and had to leave the stadium in the first half. Bayern managed to hold the situation and the miracle came when Toulalan received 2 yellow cards in 4 minutes and the number of playes was equal in both teams. After this Robben scored again a perfect goal that made the result clear. Muller was in a very lucky position and his head barely touched the ball, but he managed to send it so that it is impossible to be saved. The final result in Germany was 1:0 and Lyon have a very good chance to classify, but still probably Bayern will classify for the finals.
