gstar28 app Motherwell manager Stuart Kettlewell is banking on an appeal panel overturning Dan Casey’s red card after accusing referee Chris Graham of doubling down on the worst decision he has ever seen. Well have submitted a wrongful dismissal claim to the Scottish Football Association after Casey was sent off following a clash with Kilmarnock winger Danny Armstrong during Friday’s 1-1 Fir Park draw. Graham was handed the opportunity to reverse his decision by his video assistant but pointed down the tunnel, presumably deciding that the defender had grabbed Armstrong by the neck after pushing his arm away. The Irishman has now had one yellow and two red cards this season and faces a three-match ban if a fast-track panel agrees with Graham. Kettlewell is yet to meet anyone else who does. “I’ve had contact with other football clubs, I’ve had contact with people that have been in the game a long, long time, people in the media, friends, family,” he said.

For me that’s wholly unacceptable. “I don’t think we can ever see that, that scenario where it’s so cut and dry, in my opinion, and I know there’s an appeal to be heard and all the rest of it, but I just find it baffling. “I said it’s in the top three worst decisions that I’ve been involved with in a game of football. In hindsight, I’ve had Saturday and Sunday to look through it again and to compose myself. “It’s not in the top three, it’s the worst one. It’s genuinely the worst one that I’ve seen. “But we have to look at this bigger picture as well, and it’s worldwide. That game was on the television. We’re trying to give the best account of ourselves as we possibly can. “We didn’t play particularly well as a team, but I don’t think that type of decision does the game in this country any favours whatsoever.” (Image: SNS Group) Kettlewell had been told that Motherwell had three major incorrect decisions go against them in their previous five games but the latest controversy ramped up his frustration. “I can accept mistakes, but the bit I really, really challenge is that there’s an obvious error and you’re still trying to double down on it and trying to tell people that you’re 100 per cent right,” he said. “You’re trying to find justification for it. You’re starting to talk about non-negligible force and all this type of stuff. “Sometimes I genuinely am OK with somebody just putting their hands up and saying ‘I think I may have got that one wrong’.” Kettlewell has had the chance to study other aspects of Graham’s performance and admitted that Andy Halliday’s challenge on Killie wing-back Brad Lyons was “as cut and dry a penalty as you’re going to get”.

I had a complaint about this after we had the same referee against Ross County, that there was 62 minutes of dead time. That was 59 minutes this time of dead time in a game of football. “It’s not conducive to entertainment. It’s not conducive to any of us sitting, watching the game, enjoying the game. You ask the players, they just feel like it’s stop, start, stop, start, stop, start.” The Scottish FA later confirmed an appeal hearing over Casey’s red card would take place on Christmas Eve.

In conclusion, the unprecedented series of airstrikes in Syria has added a new layer of complexity to the already tumultuous Middle East landscape. The indiscriminate bombing campaign has exacerbated the humanitarian crisis in the region and intensified the conflict, further entrenching divisions and animosities among various actors. As the world watches with growing concern, it is imperative that concerted efforts are made to address the root causes of the conflict and work towards a sustainable and inclusive peace in the Middle East.It was no different for Jimmy Carter in the early 1970s. It took meeting several presidential candidates and then encouragement from an esteemed elder statesman before the young governor, who had never met a president himself, saw himself as something bigger. He announced his White House bid on December 12 1974, amid fallout from the Vietnam War and the resignation of Richard Nixon. Then he leveraged his unknown, and politically untainted, status to become the 39th president. That whirlwind path has been a model, explicit and otherwise, for would-be contenders ever since. “Jimmy Carter’s example absolutely created a 50-year window of people saying, ‘Why not me?’” said Steve Schale, who worked on President Barack Obama’s campaigns and is a long-time supporter of President Joe Biden. Mr Carter’s journey to high office began in Plains, Georgia where he received end-of-life care decades after serving as president. David Axelrod, who helped to engineer Mr Obama’s four-year ascent from state senator to the Oval Office, said Mr Carter’s model is about more than how his grassroots strategy turned the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary into his springboard. “There was a moral stain on the country, and this was a guy of deep faith,” Mr Axelrod said. “He seemed like a fresh start, and I think he understood that he could offer something different that might be able to meet the moment.” Donna Brazile, who managed Democrat Al Gore’s 2000 presidential campaign, got her start on Mr Carter’s two national campaigns. “In 1976, it was just Jimmy Carter’s time,” she said. Of course, the seeds of his presidential run sprouted even before Mr Nixon won a second term and certainly before his resignation in August 1974. In Mr Carter’s telling, he did not run for governor in 1966, he lost, or in 1970 thinking about Washington. Even when he announced his presidential bid, neither he nor those closest to him were completely confident. “President of what?” his mother, Lillian, replied when he told her his plans. But soon after he became governor in 1971, Mr Carter’s team envisioned him as a national player. They were encouraged in part by the May 31 Time magazine cover depicting Mr Carter alongside the headline “Dixie Whistles a Different Tune”. Inside, a flattering profile framed Mr Carter as a model “New South” governor. In October 1971, Carter ally Dr Peter Bourne, an Atlanta physician who would become US drug tsar, sent his politician friend an unsolicited memo outlining how he could be elected president. On October 17, a wider circle of advisers sat with Mr Carter at the Governor’s Mansion to discuss it. Mr Carter, then 47, wore blue jeans and a T-shirt, according to biographer Jonathan Alter. The team, including Mr Carter’s wife Rosalynn, who died aged 96 in November 2023, began considering the idea seriously. “We never used the word ‘president’,” Mr Carter recalled upon his 90th birthday, “but just referred to national office”. Mr Carter invited high-profile Democrats and Washington players who were running or considering running in 1972, to one-on-one meetings at the mansion. He jumped at the chance to lead the Democratic National Committee’s national campaign that year. The position allowed him to travel the country helping candidates up and down the ballot. Along the way, he was among the Southern governors who angled to be George McGovern’s running mate. Mr Alter said Mr Carter was never seriously considered. Still, Mr Carter got to know, among others, former vice president Hubert Humphrey and senators Henry Jackson of Washington, Eugene McCarthy of Maine and Mr McGovern of South Dakota, the eventual nominee who lost a landslide to Mr Nixon. Mr Carter later explained he had previously defined the nation’s highest office by its occupants immortalised by monuments. “For the first time,” Mr Carter told The New York Times, “I started comparing my own experiences and knowledge of government with the candidates, not against ‘the presidency’ and not against Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. It made it a whole lot easier”. Adviser Hamilton Jordan crafted a detailed campaign plan calling for matching Mr Carter’s outsider, good-government credentials to voters’ general disillusionment, even before Watergate. But the team still spoke and wrote in code, as if the “higher office” were not obvious. It was reported during his campaign that Mr Carter told family members around Christmas 1972 that he would run in 1976. Mr Carter later wrote in a memoir that a visit from former secretary of state Dean Rusk in early 1973 affirmed his leanings. During another private confab in Atlanta, Mr Rusk told Mr Carter plainly: “Governor, I think you should run for president in 1976.” That, Mr Carter wrote, “removed our remaining doubts.” Mr Schale said the process is not always so involved. “These are intensely competitive people already,” he said of governors, senators and others in high office. “If you’re wired in that capacity, it’s hard to step away from it.” “Jimmy Carter showed us that you can go from a no-name to president in the span of 18 or 24 months,” said Jared Leopold, a top aide in Washington governor Jay Inslee’s unsuccessful bid for Democrats’ 2020 nomination. “For people deciding whether to get in, it’s a real inspiration,” Mr Leopold continued, “and that’s a real success of American democracy”.

Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) has effectively lost his attempt at gaining control of the game, and the aggressive cut on the ending leaves a lot to be desired. (For me; no shade, I just desire to see more.) Luckily, Squid Game season 3 is already on its way — and might already be in the can, with a release date promised in 2025. Here’s everything we know about the new season of the hit show. Is there going to be a Squid Game season 3? Yes! In a July letter announcing the release date for season 2 , showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk announced that Squid Game had been picked up for a third and final season already. When will Squid Game season 3 come out? This is a little more up in the air. The initial announcement said 2025. So far there’s been no specific date, but with production for the third season reportedly having already been rolled into season 2 , it could be any time . Not really (Netflix likes to make a splash of things) — that’s more to say, if it’s already in the can, that the new season isn’t going to have to wait on a longer schedule to get turned around. It’s possible we get season 3 sometime in the summer, rather than waiting until a full year from now. What will season 3 of Squid Game be about? Well, it’s certainly going to have to pick up the pieces: Gi-hun tried to lead a rebellion and take down the games from the inside. That went poorly, to put it mildly. It cost his most enthusiastic allies their lives, including his best friend Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan). There’s still a large contingent of players hiding out in the barracks, and who even knows what kinds of games they’re going to get put through after this. Plus, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) has decidedly switched back into his main persona, deserting his role as Player 001 to stand imposingly over a weeping Gi-hun. So it seems like the safest guess in the world that season 3 of Squid Game will pick up with those in the games — on both sides of the divide — possibly moments after where season 2 left us. After all, there’s plenty to still figure out, like: What happens to the games now? How much of this did the Front Man anticipate? Where do the other players, each desperate for their own rescue (financial or otherwise), land in all this? Will the rich people who run the games be upset? What does Gi-hun do now? Will Squid Game season 3 be the last season? It will be the final season of the show. Considering Squid Game was originally meant to just be a single season, that’s pretty good! Especially since Hwang feels the finale — whatever it may be — flowed organically from the writing. “When I was thinking about the idea for the ending of season three, I think it sort of naturally came to me that this was the finale,” Hwang said . “I believed that with that story, I was able to tell everything that I wanted to tell through the story of Squid Game and also in the perspective of Gi-hun as a character, and I thought that we don’t need any further stories from here.” What games will be in Squid Game season 3? Squid Game season 2 threw a bit of a wrench into Gi-hun’s plans: Although he briefly thought he could simply save everyone by helping them get through the games together with his inside knowledge, it turned out that after Red Light, Green Light there was a whole new batch of games awaiting him. So, assuming the games move forward (even just for a single level — which, given the number of people left, seems like the exact sort of cruel thing the game makers would do), what childhood game will they subject people to? The stakes have never seemed bloodier or less hopeful, so it seems like the game makers might trot out something truly sick, like Double Dutch. Entertainment News TV
