Cheryl wedding ring is not a clue for Ashley Cole

Cheryl wedding ring is not a clue for Ashley Cole Cheryl Cole insists that although she does not always wear her wedding ring, it is not a sign to her estranged husband Ashley Cole that she has decided to get a divorce.

The 26 year old X Factor judge stated that it is not a game she is playing and that when she was seen in Paris without her ring she was not drawing attention to her ringless finger, but simply pulling hair back out of her face.

On Twitter she explained that there have been many instances in which she has been photographed without her ring including instances when she was still with Ashley and thus believes it is crazy that people are so willing to interpret the gesture.

Later the same day Cole was seen in Paris wearing a gold knotted ring on her finger but it is not thought to have come from Ashley Cole.

Ashley Cole is the Chelsea and England footballer who made headlines this year off the field for cheating on Cheryl Cole with a long string of women which has led to their separation temporarily while the couple decides what to do.

Cheryl stated that Ashley and she are aware of what is going on in their private lives and a silly picture of her moving the hair from her face means very little.

Premium football games may come to freeview

Premium football games may come to freeview Media regulator, Ofcom, is expected to decide that the pay TV market must be opened up so that terrestrial providers can broadcast its premium content across the Freeview system so that homes that only have aerials can view the channels as well.

The new move will benefit consumers since previously in order to view Sky Movies or Sky Sports a consumer needed to also purchase a dish or a Sky package subscription.

Those that live in listed flats or buildings are not allowed to purchase dishes and thus must pay around £35 a month in order to access the premium content.

At the moment, Virgin Media is the only cable service that provides the two channels but most regions cannot receive their cable signals.

If the reform is successful, then staying up to date on all the Ashes cricket matches and Premier League matches will become a much less expensive cost.  The expected provider of the new programming if the ruling is made is expected to be BT Vision.

In an attempt to soften the blow against Sky, Ofcom is expected to allow Sky to still offer the service, but to terrestrial viewers.

Currently, Sky broadcasts Sky Three, Sky News, and Sky Sports News on Freeview television and in 2007 started offering several of its top channels on pay per view including Disney and the Discovery Channel.

If passed, Sky is ready to launch a legal appeal under the grounds that the ruling may undercut the television provider’s market position by forcing them to reduce their prices.

Portsmouth administrator wants brand new team

Portsmouth administrator wants brand new team Andrew Andronikou, the Portsmouth administrator, has announced that he would like the club to come back next season with an entirely new group of players after the team was granted permission by the Premier League to sell their players off outside of the normal transfer window time period.

Already Andronikou has announced the first ten team players who are up for sale with many more expected to come available during the summer when their contracts expire.

The club already faces a certain end after they lost nine points for entering administration.  Currently, they are attempting to raise £30m, so that they can reduce their debts.

The administrator stated that supporters can rest assured that there will be a next season for the time with all new players, but this time not only will the players be able to compete but the club will have a more secure future for the coming years.

He continued to say that the club will need to cleverly look into how to manage the greatest asset of a team, the actual players, which mean that they need to sell eight to ten members of their first team squad out of the 28 on the squad.

Andronikou expects to be able to pick up some replacement players on free transfers.

In order to sell players outside of the normal transfer window the Premier League has stipulated that Portsmouth must sell the players to a football league, the players will not be allowed to play this season, and the agreement for transfer must be made with the other club for the summer.

Kick4Life Charity to run one of the FIFA 20 centres for 2010 in Lesotho Kick4Life, a UK charity backed by the Vodafone Foundation to tackle the AIDS crisis in Lesotho in Southern Africa, announced it had been selected by FIFA to host a sport, health and education centre as part of ’20 Centres for 2010’ campaign.

In 2008, England Manager Fabio Capello visited a Kick4Life event in Lesotho where he witnessed a young boy being tested for HIV. It was here he called upon the world of football to do more in the fight against disease and poverty.

Kick4Life Charity to run one of the FIFA 20 centres for 2010 in Lesotho The ‘20 Centres for 2010’ will help increase awareness about HIV/AIDS, increase literacy, improve gender equality, integrate youth with intellectual disabilities and promote development in other targeted ways, leaving a social legacy for the African continent.

Kick4Life have spent the past four years delivering a range of programmes focused on tackling HIV by providing sports-based health education, voluntary testing, life-skills development and support into education and employment.

Steve Fleming, Kick4Life Co-Founder said:

“Being selected as a centre host as part of the official World Cup campaign is a fantastic development for Kick4Life that will provide a first class sports, health and education facility right in the heart of Maseru, Lesotho’s capital. It will enable us to deliver activities to thousands of orphans and vulnerable children in an aspirational setting, and become, we hope, a centre of excellence for the use of football as a tool for social development.”

Capello offered his congratulations at the announcement: “I have seen first hand how Kick4Life is actually changing lives for the better. This summer all eyes will be on South Africa, and it is my hope that we can harness the power of the game to transform the lives of some of the world’s most disadvantaged people, and continue to fight this disease”.

Kick 4 Life is a registered charity funded by The Vodafone Foundation. For more information & to see how you can get involved go to www.kick4life.org.
