    Mourinho comments 'delivered calmly'published at 17:48

    Football

    More on the FA's written reasons for fining Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho £50,000 and giving him a suspended one-match stadium ban...

    In response to another Mourinho point of mitigation – that his comments were made post-match with tensions running high, the panel ruled that was “no excuse”.

    They added: “Mr Mourinho is an experienced manager and an experienced interviewee. This was not some spur-of-the-moment unguarded outburst. These were quite lengthy comments, delivered calmly and in a controlled way."

    Fines 'on their own not a deterrent for Mourinho'published at 17:45

    Football

    The FA has published its written reasons for fining Jose Mourinho £50,000 – a punishment the Portuguese described as “astonishing” and which he said he will appeal against – for his comments about referees not giving Chelsea penalties following  a 3-1 home loss to Southampton.

    He was also given a one-match stadium ban, suspended for 12 months.

    The FA panel claimed that increasing levels of fines are “not on their own going to be a reliable deterrent” for Mourinho.

    Mourinho had also tried to argue in mitigation that English is not his first language, but the panel decided “his English is far too sophisticated for that to affect our conclusion”.

    Stevenage goalkeeper Jesse Jorenen has played down his achievement in scoring against Wycombe.

    The 22-year-old Finn kicked the ball upfield from the edge of his area and then saw it bounce over opposite number Matt Ingram, with Boro going on to win Saturday's League Two game 2-1.

    "For me it was just a clearance. There was not much else to it, I got lucky with the wind and that was basically it," he told BBC Look East.

    Former England forward Ben Kay has been named among the five-man panel to review the hosts' dismal World Cup campaign and ex-team-mate Austin Healey has responded with a touch of sarcasm.

    Kay dropped the ball within a metre of a certain England try during the 2003 World Cup final against Australia.

    Just think, Jonny Wilkinson's winning drop goal may never have been necessary...

    A little more from Joe Cole:. "I've been playing in an era where we are very lucky and we appreciate that as footballers," said the midfielder.

    "Most of us come from council estates and working class.

    "You have an opportunity to lead a good life and finances are not going to be a problem for me.

    "That wasn't an issue for me coming here. I just want to play football, regardless of the level, proper football, competitive football.

    Villa are subsidising most of Cole's wages during his 35-day spell and the 33-year-old said money is not an issue.

    New Leeds boss Steve Evans gave a spectacular interview with BBC Radio Sheffield in April after Rotherham secured their place in the Championship next season with a 2-1 win over Reading.

    The former manage, who joined fans and players on the pitch after the game, said: "It’s my best ever result as a manager, ever. The pressure has been intense. There’s not been a lot of sleep. There’s been heartache.

    “There was a Millwall player who said we’ve not got bottle. Well, I’ve got 12 bottles of pink finest champagne and we’ll be drinking them for about a week! Look forward to League One, son, and keep your trap shut!"

    More Leeds news

    Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino has been disqualified by the Football League after failing its owners' and directors' test.  

    A statement from the Football League says: 

    "In June, Mr Cellino was found guilty by a Court in Sardinia of an offence under Italian tax legislation relating to the non-payment of VAT on the importation of a Land Rover vehicle.  This resulted in a fine of €40,000 and the confiscation of the vehicle in question.

    "Having considered detailed legal advice and the Court’s reasoned judgment, as supplied by Mr Cellino, the board determined that the decision of the Italian Court constitutes a disqualifying condition under the owners' and directors' test. 

    "Mr Cellino has until 28 October to appeal against the board's decision.  Any such appeal would be heard by an independent panel."

    World Rugby 'no review' into TMOpublished at 16:18

    Rugby Union

    Rugby's governing body has no plans to review the use of the television match official (TMO), despite a furore after it was not invoked during the controversial finale of Australia's World Cup quarter-final win over Scotland.

    Australia edged the Scots 35-34 at Twickenham with a last minute three-pointer and, while TV replays showed the decisive penalty may have been awarded in error, the referee had not been permitted to consult the TMO due to the nature of the infringement.

    "In the build-up to the tournament we have been at pains to explain the exact remit and protocols around the TMO," a World Rugby (WR) spokesman told Reuters on Monday.
