Sky Sports News sources understand Jens Lehmann is holding talks with Arsenal regarding a possible playing return to the club.

Wow talk about being depserate.

Latest reports suggested yesterday that Sir Alex is looking to sell him after the season...

If it happens I think it'll have nothing to do with his behaviour or his performance. The signs were there even before he singed that contract.

would not be such a bad move. Could easily buy a new goalie(neuer/skeltonberg) and young midfielder/striker for him. Then keep berba and start hernandez.

A Football Association tribunal has given Sir Alex Ferguson a five-match touchline ban for his comments about referee Martin Atkinson.

The Manchester United manager was found guilty of improper conduct for criticising Atkinson's display in the loss at Chelsea earlier this month.

"You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get that," Ferguson told MUTV.

The ban starts on 22 March and includes the FA Cup tie against Manchester City.

The Independent Regulatory Commission's sanction is made up of a three-game ban for the Atkinson remarks and the activation of a two-game suspended ban that Ferguson was given last year for suggesting referee Alan Wiley was not "fit enough" to keep up with play.

The three-man panel also fined the 69-year-old manager ?30,000.

The reasons for the decision will be sent to Ferguson in the next 24 hours and he then has 48 hours to decide if he wants to appeal. This is why the sanction does not start until after Saturday's home league game against Bolton Wanderers.

Should he accept the punishment, the Old Trafford boss will have to watch the Premier League games against West Ham, Fulham, Everton and Arsenal from the stands, as well as the semi-final against local rivals City at Wembley.

I'd rather the FA put more effort into sorting out players disrespecting refs.

Actually, The FA need to sort out mistakes made by referees. They make so many ridiculous mistakes, it's no wonder everyone criticises them. Players and managers are allowed to criticise each other publicly, but not the referees. It's unfair that they get this special immunity when there's a good reason why they're being criticised.

I'm all for that. Sadly, FIFA is still run by a technophobic dinosaur. There's other things that I'd love to see done to the game; mainly getting rid of injury time. Instead of having injury time, why not do what a lot of other sports do and just stop the clock when the play stops? It's not that hard. It should be like rugby; stop the clock when the ball is dead, then when you've passed the 45/90 minute mark (40/80 minutes in rugby), the half doesn't end until the ball goes out of play.

I don't see a problem with injury time. If there are stoppages throughout the game, why should an attendee at the stadium or viewer at home get less game play?

^^ 5 match ban is harsh but deserved I guess.

It's actually 3 for the latest outburst and 2 that were suspended last time.

And they can't do anything about players disrespecting refs if the managers don't.

He's back and this makes me nervous and relieved at the same time.. relieved coz obviously he can't perform any worse than Almunia does and nervous coz he acts like a madman all of a sudden..

well your fighting on one front now so lets hope he doesn't go bat**** crazy during a game :rofl: ;)

It wouldn't be less game play though.

Read what he said.

When there is a stoppage, the referee would stop the clock (like they do in rugby). So you'd always get 90 minutes of actual play.

Well they already add time for stoppages and delays.. the argument that game will become shorter or longer because of this is trivial.. if refs want respect they will have to give the right decisions and tech can aid them in that...

The problem with injury time at the moment is that the referee doesn't always add on the right amount of time, and almost all of the time, the referee lets play go beyond the allotted amount of injury time and if one team ends up scoring a goal and winning the match in that extra amount of injury time, then you've got a lot of controversy on your hands.

And I won't lie; Man U's actually done that on a few occasions. :p

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years

      Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
