Man City star Rayan Cherki's Carabao Cup final showboating behaviour leaves boss Pep Guardiola shaking his head - and infuriates Arsenal
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was left less than impressed by Rayan Cherki's showboating during his side's Carabao Cup final win over Arsenal. But Cherki, starting the game in the capital, took it upon himself to have some fun on the day. But, without the ball hitting the ground, Cherki performed three kick ups, much to the amusement of the Manchester City faithful. Television cameras cut to the City boss shaking his head, and he appeared to give him a sarcastic telling off when substituting his star late on. The forward passed the ball off before either Arsenal man could get too close, but was clattered by White soon after.

Offord stands by candidates over past social media posts
Reform UK announced its Scottish Parliament manifesto on Thursday, along with its constituency candidate during a one day conference in Bishopton where the party's UK leader Nigel Farage addressed the gathering. Within hours, previous social media posts from some of the candidates emerged which drew criticism. Reform UK has vetted all of its candidates, he said, claiming Ms Holt would be a "very effective MSP" if she was elected. On Ms Beresford's comments, he said they came before she was a member of Reform UK. “His refusal to answer basic questions about the actions of his candidates shows Reform have no care or standards.

Thomas Tuchel hands surprising new England call-up to star who Scotland wanted to steal - as Arsenal's Eberechi Eze pulls out
Harvey Barnes is being called up by England manager Thomas Tuchel as the Newcastle United winger gets his chance in his expanded pre-World Cup squad. Barnes, 28, snubbed a call-up from Scotland after Steve Clarke tried to move for him. Barnes, who has 14 goals this season, played 76 minutes of Sunday's 2-1 derby defeat by Sunderland. Tuchel is using the upcoming games against Colombia and Japan to test a number of fringe players who he says can 'win plane tickets' to the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico this summer. 'This time I can say for sure, Harvey's going to concentrate on trying to play for England, he's not going to come to Scotland.'

'We were ready this time' - John Cleary delighted as Cork earn promotion
John Cleary believes his group were not as prepared to go up to Division 1 in previous years. Because there was an awful lot of hard work that's been put in there in the last three years. And it would have been a big blow to us if we hadn't come out with a victory here today. “The big thing where I've been successful is putting a very good backroom team together. “Even when the draw was made, we had two trips up the north, a trip to Louth, a trip to Offaly.

Kate O'Connor secures World Indoor bronze in Torun
By now it’s become habitual, but that shouldn’t diminish the scale of what Kate O’Connor is achieving. At the World Indoor Championships in Torun, Poland, the 25-year-old Dundalk athlete claimed another multi-events medal for Ireland on the global stage, winning bronze in the women’s pentathlon. Gold went to Sofie Dokter of the Netherlands with 4888 points, with US world heptathlon champion Anna Hall second with 4860. The medal for O’Connor follows the bronze she won at last year’s European Indoors, silver at the World Indoors, gold at the World University Games and silver at the Tokyo World Championships. In the long jump, she opened with a foul, heaping the pressure on her second jump, which was a safe and solid 6.17m.

'It's essential signs are pointing in the right direction' after Storm Éowyn
Road signs damaged by Storm Éowyn last year are sending tourists and motorists in the wrong direction, a senator has claimed. Another impact, according to Fine Gael senator Gareth Scahill, is that road signs have been left pointing in the wrong direction. “This extends beyond storm damage, with road signs suffering from poor maintenance with many obscured and difficult to read,” Mr Scahill added“There’s another busy tourism season coming this summer, and it is essential that signs are visible, legible, and pointing in the right direction. “Faded road markings are becoming a serious hazard, particularly at night and during poor weather. This can include repairs to damaged or displaced road signs.”The department said that the expected lifespan of road signs is in the order of 15-20 years, with warranties on retroreflective sign-face materials generally extended to 12 years.
