PARENTS have hit out at a Euro 2024 sticker album 'rip-off' in which children are being asked to pay hundreds of pounds of pocket money to complete collections from which England stars are missing, with uncapped players included to fill out pages. A dirty war between sticker companies has seen Panini ? who have lost the deal to publish UEFA's Euros album ? block American-owned rival Topps from printing stickers of stars such as Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka, and John Stones in the official UEFA album. But that has led Topps to bulk out the England pages of their own album with uncapped players like Leicester City full back Luke Thomas and Manchester City's Rico Lewis, who has just one cap.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST are considering legal action against Sky after pundit Gary Neville labelled their controversial statement following defeat at Everton like that of a 'mafia gang'. Greek owner Evangelos Marinakis was furious when his team were denied three penalties during the 2-0 loss at Goodison Park, with VAR Stuart Attwell seemingly choosing not to send referee Anthony Taylor to his pitchside monitor to review any of the decisions. The club then posted on X that they had warned the PGMOL about Attwell being a fan of Luton Town, their relegation rivals. Neville said: 'It's like a mafiagang statement. I mean, honestly, what the hell are they playing at? It's like a petulant child, it's embarrassing. And some of those things they're saying in there, the suggestion of some sort of inferring of cheating because there's an official in VAR in Stockley Park who's a Luton fan, is a scandal, and they will pay for that.'

ENGLISH football's civil war has exploded ? with Manchester City accusing the Premier League of 'misleading' clubs over the pair's legal battle on sponsorship rules. Mail Sport revealed that, in an unprecedented move, the champions sent an email to all other clubs late on Monday in which they warned of further legal action and argued League bosses had been spreading 'inaccuracies'. City claimed a landmark victory after a tribunal found League rules around commercial deals with parties linked to club owners to be unlawful. However, the Premier League downplayed the significance of the verdict in an email to clubs ? a move later slated by City's legal counsel in an email of their own. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

IRISH police will draw upon their experience of dealing with thousands of stag dos when England visit Dublin for a Nations League clash this weekend.

As reported by Irish media, a major policing plan named Operation Dearoil will run from Friday to Sunday morning.

MANCHESTER CITY have declared war on the Premier League ? suing the competition over new financial rules in a move that has sent shockwaves through football and split the most powerful clubs. Outraged bosses at the Etihad have filed a 165-page legal document claiming they are the victims of 'discrimination' and that regulations approved by rival clubs are the 'tyranny of the majority'. A two-week private hearing starts on Monday and its verdict could have far-reaching ramifications amid the 115 Premier League charges City face for alleged accounting breaches. That second hearing is set for November and could result in huge fines and even relegation for City, should the champions of the past four seasons be found guilty. Battle lines were drawn yesterday and clubs picked sides as City claimed the Premier League's Associated Party Transaction (APT) rules were unlawful and sought to have them thrown out. They are also seeking damages believed to run into tens of millions of pounds. Under the rules, introduced following the Saudi-led takeover of Newcastle in 2021, clubs are stopped from inflating sponsorship deals with firms linked to their owners. Instead, all deals must be independently deemed to be of 'fair market value'. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

THE English Premier League are to vote on a proposal to scrap VAR for next season. A resolution to bin the controversial system, introduced in 2019, has been submitted by Wolves in what is a highly significant and potentially historic move. However, the chances of the vote being passed have been described as 'unlikely'. The motion will be put to clubs processes needed to improve. It was thought that the SFA might well look to split the role into two, one head of refereeing and one head of VAR, as well as looking for candidates free from any baggage within Scottish football.
