Coronavirus: Belgian clubs DELAY vote to decide whether they will cancel the season amid covid-19

Belgian clubs have delayed a vote determining whether the season will be cancelled amid the coronavirus crisis as officials wait to see whether lockdown restrictions are relaxed in the country.

All 24 Belgian Pro League clubs had been set to confirm the premature ending of the season as a result of the spread of the deadly disease. In such a situation, Club Brugge would have been crowned champions. 

However, a vote on such a decision has been delayed until May 4, as Belgian sport anticipates the possible relaxation of lockdown measures in the country, raising the possibility that games may be playable.

Belgium was the very first country in Europe to call a halt to the remainder of the season, after the Pro League stepped in to call off proceedings.

The decision to withhold from voting comes after Dutch football decided to call off the season due to the coronavirus.

The Eredivisie has been cancelled with immediate effect, meaning that Ajax have been denied the league title, while promotions and relegations will not take place. 

The agreement came via video conference between the Dutch FA and all clubs. Alan Pardew’s ADO Den Haag will stay up as a result, despite being seven points adrift from safety.

Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers

NewsColony Volunteers book hotel room for homeless man with SingapoRediscovers vouchers © The Independent Singapore Singapore — A group of volunteers from the Mummy Yummy Singapore welfare organisation donated their SingapoRediscovers Vouchers to book a hotel room for a homeless man. The man, who was identified as Jayden, did not have a place to live while waiting for the Housing Board (HDB) to allocate him a rental flat. In a Facebook post on Mummy Yummy Singapore’s page on Wednesday (Dec 16), the volunteers said: “We used our $100 Rediscover Singapore vouchers to redeem hotel stay for him and successfully booked 9 days worth of stay at 3 days per voucher.” They added that they were unable to book a longer stay because of higher hotel rates over Christmas and New Year. The volunteers hoped that they would be able to bridge Jayden’s stay until he got a flat. “Thanks our government for giving us these vouchers which in return we can put them to good use for people in need,” th...

JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97!

NewsColony JANE FRYER: The judo master who made me the fall guy… aged 97! Jane Fryer is pictured above with Jack Hearn. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute’ There is a startling moment in Jack Hearn’s extremely spick and span kitchen, when I’m standing between his trophy table and the wall and he’s telling me how he could finish me off with his huge, bearlike paws. ‘See, I’d get you round the neck and press on your Adam’s apple,’ he grins, silver moustache bobbing, white teeth flashing. ‘ And if I carried on with that, you’d be dead in a minute.’ We have already had a lively discussion about whether he should, or should not, throw me over one of his surprisingly wide shoulders on to his beautifully vacuumed living room floor. ‘I could throw you, of course I could! But I won’t,’ he says.  ‘It’s not fair — you don’t know...
