The fighting is still a few days away in Las Vegas, but the Frampton-Santa Cruz scrap has already given birth to another potential mega fight - Steve Bunce v Barry McGuigan, anyone?

The pair shared a joke on BBC Radio 5 live over the prospect of Belfast's WBA featherweight champion Carl Frampton (McGuigan's charge) taking on IBF title holder Lee Selby, should he win in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Boxing broadcaster Buncey says there's not enough money in it; McGuigan has other ideas. "I'll give you a slap!", he tells the big man. Something tells me a slap from The Clones Cyclone stings more than most people's punches...

Listen to the clip here.

Matthew Wright: I was involved in a match which had a black referee involved. About 70mins someone from the opposition spat and used a racist term towards him. We were shocked, outraged and very disgusted. The referee made the right call to abandon the game and call the police. If they strike, I will be disappointed but I will support.

Dave Francis: Without refs the game wouldn't work. Should show the same respect as they do in rugby - only the captains should be allowed to speak to the refs.

Last night, Brighton went back to the top of the Championship thanks to Tomer Hemed's winner against a determined Cardiff.

The match had been rearranged after the scheduled meeting on 30 December was postponed because of fog.

In the division's other game, Reading climbed back to third as Ali Al-Habsi saved a late Chris Martin penalty to secure a win against Fulham.

Roy Beerens had earlier put the hosts ahead just after half-time when he swept in the rebound from John Swift's saved spot-kick.

England head coach Eddie Jones says flanker James Haskell has got the all-clear and will fly out to join the rest of the squad in Portugal today.

After missing more than six months because of a foot injury, Haskell played 55 minutes for Wasps at the weekend.

There are only a few sports where you can measure perfection. The nine-dart finish. Snooker's 147. The perfect over.

So raise a glass to Aled Carey, who took six wickets in six deliveries for Golden Point Cricket Club in Australia - clean bowling the last three.

The two-day game against East Ballarat, which began on Saturday, will be concluded this weekend, with Golden Point strong favourites to win. Funny that...

AD Rit: Saw a referee have his car targeted and vandalised after a very bruising fixture in the South West. Pathetic from grown men.

Jack Dudley: Mass shortage of referees in my area, always get a call on Saturday from various teams asking if I'm free - a sign, I think. 

Tom Carr: True story: In the first ever game I officiated as a 14 year old, I accidentally reset my watch halfway through the first half. I had to get my Dad on the sideline to count down down to half time on the sly. Always wore two watches from then on...

In his news conference, Jose Mourinho was asked about his new grade-three-all-over haircut...

"It's a privilege (to have a full head of hair) because I'm the kind of guy that can do it and in a month I have a new look," he joked.  

Is it just us or has he had his eyebrows done at the same time?

Mourinho, asked whether Manchester United can go all the way and win the EFL Cup, replied: "I really don't know. I know that it's going to be hard. Let's see what happens. In this moment, we have a 35% chance to win the EFL Cup."  

And on tomorrow's opponents, Hull: "They played the matches they won at home very well too. They played very well against Chelsea, too. So, I think they're in a good situation."

Manager Marco Silva gets some sugar too: "I knew that Marco was such a good coach that the team would really improve. He still has a very difficult job in hand, still a big fight with some other five, six, seven teams for relegation, but a good coach. Very good."

Mourinho also reveals defender Marcos Rojo is fit for tomorrow’s match after missing the game at Stoke through illness.

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, asked how much former manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been involved with the club this season, replies: "Very little. Very little, to be honest. 

"The support I feel is the support I always felt with him except when I was a direct competitor and playing against his teams but I always felt this kind of support. 

"Friends wishing good to each other, supporting each other by a simple text, that can mean a lot in a certain moment. 

"I think he’s very respectful too, because he doesn’t want to be around, to come too many times... I told him this is his house forever."

Mourinho continues with some team news, and it's very much a case of no news is good news: "Everybody is available and my choices will be to try to go with a team that I think can guarantee us a good match."  

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho is speaking about the EFL Cup semi-final against Hull tomorrow.

He starts with some team news, confirming that defender Eric Bailly will not be available for United despite his departure from the Africa Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast.

"He's not ready for tomorrow obviously but he's coming back. No problems," says the boss.

England manager Mark Sampson says he faces a selection "headache" for the SheBelieves Cup in March.

It follows a pre-season training camp in Spain where England lost 1-0 to Norway and drew 0-0 with Sweden.

"Some players on this camp have really put their hand up," Sampson told BBC Sport. "Competition is fierce and I want the players to push each other".

England will face the three top-ranked teams in the world - USA, Germany and France - at the tournament in the US.

Former Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson says he does not think anybody will break Wayne Rooney's United scoring record of 250 goals.

"In the present-day game, it is difficult to see any club having players who can stay with them for 10 years," said the Scot who signed Rooney from Everton.

"Bobby Charlton's record was quite substantial. I couldn't think anybody would beat that. It is an achievement par excellence."

Kassim Patel: I refereed for 6 years and the best game I did was when a Uni rugby team filled in for the football team who couldn't make it!

James: Was stopped from leaving a ground by a parent pointing to my chest calling me a disgrace to the FA. Very intimidating.

ThisisChewbacca: My old man helps teach refs. Recently he had a man threaten a 14-year-old ref that he'd see him in the car park after.
