East Kilbride hand over footage from alleged racism incident in Stranraer clash to Police Scotland
Kilby have conducted their own internal investigation and now passed information on to the authorities East Kilbride Football Club has announced they have handed over video footage to Police Scotland following Saturday's alleged racist abuse aimed at Kilby star Joao Balde. Towards the end of the League Two clash with Stranraer at K-Park, Balde - who had missed some big chances the last time the sides met in a play-off defeat for EK in 2024 - scored an overhead kick right in front of the visiting support. The Portuguese midfielder then celebrated in front of the Stranraer fans and it is alleged one supporter made a racist slur towards him. A fan was soon ejected from the stadium following a short stoppage in play, while Balde ended up being sent off for a second booking just moments later for a late tackle. Now the club has passed on all information they have to police. It is understood the League Two club have reviewed CCTV footage and match footage from their own club TV channel, as well as compiling player statements. A statement from the club today read: "East Kilbride FC can confirm the conclusion of its internal investigation into an alleged incident on Saturday against Stranraer FC. "Footage and relevant information has now been passed on to the relevant authorities and this matter will now be dealt with by Police Scotland." Kilby skipper Jack Leitch had to hold Balde back after the incident as EK players surrounded the alleged perpetrator. Leitch said at the time: "Joao repeated what was said to me and then I called the guy out on it. "The fan was denying it to me and I just stayed with Joao after it. It's just ridiculous and disgusting." Following the game, Stranraer FC posted on social media: "Stranraer Football Club takes a zero-tolerance approach to all forms of racist and discriminatory behaviour. "The club has been made aware of an allegation during today's game at K Park. We treat any such reports with the utmost seriousness and will work with East Kilbride FC and the relevant authorities to ensure the incident is investigated thoroughly." It is the second time during his spell at the club that Balde has made a racism complaint. Last season, he was subjected to racial abuse during a Challenge Cup win over Airdrie. Police Scotland has been contacted for comment.

East Kilbride win soured by alleged racist abuse, says Mick Kennedy as Stranraer fan ejected
Kilby star Joao Balde was the victim of alleged racist abuse after scoring against the Blues in the League Two clash Mick Kennedy admits Portuguese midfielder Joao Balde being subjected to alleged racist abuse soured their win over Stranraer. A visiting Blues supporter was ejected from K-Park moments after Balde scored a spectacular overhead kick to seal a 3-1 win for Kilby in a dramatic finish to the League Two clash. The Kilby ace celebrated in front of the visiting support, which earned him a booking from referee Cameron Stirling, but he was then allegedly the victim of racist insults from one individual in the stands, causing a short delay to the match as Kilby players surrounded the away section. Furious Kilby boss Kennedy then marched across the pitch to alert club officials and have the supporter kicked out. Moments later, Balde's day got even worse when he was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time for a late challenge on Lewis Reid. EK held out for the 3-1 win, which came courtesy of a John Robertson penalty and a Rhys Breen strike before Balde's clincher. But angry Kennedy told Lanarkshire Live Sport: "One of the Stranraer fans made a racist statement to Joao after he scored, unfortunately. "I think that is twice that's happened to Joao - it happened with an Airdrie fan last season and now today. "It is so unfortunate but that's where we are in society and football sometimes in this country. "It just puts a bit of a downer on today, the fact he has to go through that. Some people are just very stupid. "It is a strange thing to say, but unfortunately Joao just gets used to it. It is miles from acceptable, but he is okay after it. "He was booked for celebrating in front of their fans, which is fair enough. I can understand it has antagonised the Stranraer fans a bit, but he doesn't deserve that. "I don't think it was a second booking for him. He was probably a bit emotional after everything that has happened, as you would expect because it is not nice. "Maybe the referee could have used a bit of common sense in the situation that's happened, but it is what it is. "The referee asked me to go and inform the match secretary so we could get the person removed, so that's why I was going across the pitch in the middle of the game." Kilby skipper Jack Leitch says he confronted the man in question and said it was "disgusting" and crazy to see, following a man being arrested on Friday night after Bournemouth palyer Antoine Semenyo was subjected to racist abuse in a Premier League clash with Liverpool. Leitch said: "It is honestly crazy because you see it in that game last night and you think it's just so surreal, top players in the Premier League in England talking about it and then it happens here a day later. It is ridiculous. "It happened to Joao last season and it is honestly just disgusting. It should just not be taking place, especially after scoring such an incredible goal and how well he played. "He was probably our best player today and for him to stay that strong shows the character of him. "Joao repeated what was said to me and then I called the guy out on it. "The fan was denying it to me and I just stayed with Joao after it. It's just ridiculous and disgusting." East Kilbride FC officials confirmed a supporter was ejected from the ground and they will review CCTV footage/match cameras before reporting the incident to the police. Stranraer boss Chris Aitken, a former EK manager, said: "If that [racist abuse] is the case, we don't need that in the game and we don't need that associated with our club.

Shocking moment huge brawl breaks out on Ryanair flight over child screaming
Police were called to the Ryanair plane yesterday evening after it arrived following a reported brawl involving two passengers on board - footage taken on board showed the mayhem Footage captured the moment a huge brawl broke out on board a packed Ryanair flight over a screaming child. Police were called onto the aircraft as it landed in Lisbon from London Stansted yesterday evening following reports of a fight between two passengers. In a clip filmed on board the plane, a mum is heard comforting her screaming child amid the chaos, saying: 'It's okay, we're going now'. Portuguese TV station SIC, which published footage of the mayhem aboard the plane, said the conflict began earlier on the flight when a youngster began crying. It added: 'Tempers only flared when the plane landed in Lisbon and headed for the gate. Police were called to deal with the incident. Because of the altercation, all the passengers ended up being held on the plane for about an hour.' It comes after a plane passenger punches flight attendant after she makes simple request. It was not immediately clear if any arrests had been made. The footage of the situation on board the plane showed there was lots of shouting - and one man appeared to restrain another in front of the mum trying to console her young child. A man beside the female passenger could be overheard saying: "Yes we arrive now." Ryanair and Portugal's PSP police force, which is said to have sent officers to the plane at the request of its pilot, have been contacted for comment. The problems are believed to have occurred on board Ryanair flight FR1882, which left London Stansted at just after 4pm local time and reached Lisbon at 7.15pm half an hour past its scheduled arrival time. The Mirror has contacted Ryanair for comment. Earlier this summer, a pilot fainted in the cockpit during a service from Barcelona to Porto, according to a source from the National Institute of medical Emergencies. At 8:19 am on Sunday, August 10, the pilot suffered 'a rapidly recovering syncope' and 'apparently recovered during the flight," the publication reported.
