    This place has never seen anything like this!

    Amid the bedlam in the stands, Lee Johnson found the nearest ball boy to do a dance with. What a night for the young head coach’s career.

    Marvin Rees said tonight there is no council in the country that is free of institutional racism.

    The mayor of Bristol was speaking to Channel 4 News, external after a damning report came out into the actions of Bristol City Council in the run-up to the death of Bijan Ebrahimi.

    He said it was "perverse" that the disabled Iranian refugee had been issued a civil Asbo by the council, and not the people who went on to murder him in 2013.

    That was a thoroughly engaging half of football. Both sides could have opened the scoring.

    United have been the more dangerous going forward, as you’d expect, but this is a really decent cup tie.

    Bristol City’s long throws from Hordur Magnusson are a useful weapon, but they’ve not really tested the keeper from one of them yet.

  20. Bath Abbey says it's traditional to NOT have pewspublished at 20:41 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2017

    Media caption,

    Watch: Rev Edward Mason explains that pews are merely a relatively modern invention

    There's been a church on this site in Bath for more than 1,000 years - but the issue of where worshippers should sit is a fairly recent one.

    A growing number of churches are removing the pews, to create a more flexible space.

    Now Bath Abbey has permission to do the same, but it's not going down well with traditionalists.

    Rev Edward Mason explains pews are a relatively new tradition and that they want to offer what had been provided before the Victorians turned up.
