Ali Carter pockets £105k prize money after ‘Merry Christmas' text from snooker pal Mark Allen
ALI CARTER bagged £105,000 at the Shanghai Masters - but he only qualified thanks to Mark Allen. The Essex cueist reached the final where he was beaten by former world champion Kyren Wilson, 11-9. 3 3 3 But he very nearly missed out on the invitational event as he is ranked No.17 in the world, with only the top 16 given a place. Fortunately for Carter, his pal and world No.10 Mark Allen was forced to withdraw. The Northern Irishman shared the good news with a cryptic text that left Carter rather confused. Carter explained: "He just texts me and says 'Merry Christmas, mate'. "I didn't quite understand what he meant, but then I read between the lines and he said he's not going to Shanghai. "I was like 'thanks mate, I owe you a vodka!'" Carter, 46, reached the final after breezing past Le Qui and Mark Williams in the opening rounds. He then beat Xiao Guodong in a close contest 6-5 to set up a clash with Mark Selby. The tense encounter almost went to the final frame, but Carter won four frames in a row to book his place in the final. He was narrowly beaten by Wilson but collected a £105,000 cash prize for finishing runner-up.

Former South Korea coach Shin takes over at Ulsan HD
Aug 5 (Reuters) - South Korean champions Ulsan HD have appointed former national team manager Shin Tae-yong as their coach, the K-League club said on Tuesday. The 54-year-old replaces Kim Pan-gon, who left Ulsan by mutual consent after the weekend's 3-2 loss to Suwon FC. Shin, who led South Korea at the 2018 World Cup and most recently worked as Indonesia coach, takes over with Ulsan seventh in the standings, 23 points adrift of leaders Jeonbuk Motors after 24 matches. Kim left after 13 months in the role having replaced Hong Myung-bo following his appointment as South Korea coach in July last year. Kim guided the club to the league title last season and was in charge during their involvement in the Club World Cup in the United States in June. Ulsan's first game under Shin, who last worked in the K-League in 2012 at Seongnam Ilhwa, is on Saturday against Jeju United.

Aussie sporting legend reveals his gruesome injuries after being found unconscious by passers-by
Aussie sporting icon Troy Bayliss sustained a series of horrific injuries after he came off his bike during a ride, just weeks after he revealed he had got back on the bike after recovering from a broken ankle. The 56-year-old three-time Superbike World Championship winner broke the news that he had suffered a crash on his Instagram account on Monday, scarily revealing that onlookers had found him lying prone on the racetrack. He published an image of himself in hospital with a stream of cables and heart monitors attached to his chest. The right side of his body was covered in excruciating-looking abrasions from skidding on the ground after coming off his bike. Despite the nature of his injuries, Bayliss appears to be keeping a positive mood, holding aloft a peace sign with his right hand. The three-time Superbikes World Championship winner stated he had suffered seven broken ribs and a punctured lung in the incident 'Went for a spin in the meat wagon yesterday,' he captioned the image. 'Thanks to the people who spotted me having a sleep on the track.' He then revealed the gruesome injuries he sustained in the accident, stating he had broken seven ribs, his collarbone and suffered a punctured lung and was just 'beat up.' Few details have been shared on how and where the accident took place, as well as the bike he was riding. The racing superstar, who hails from Taree in New South Wales, had only returned to riding on July 22, following his ankle injury, but he'll now be sidelined again for another extended period. Many from the motorsport world took to Instagram to send their well-wishes to the Superbikes star, with the father of Aussie Formula One star, Jack Doohan, Mick, commenting: 'Speedy recovery mate, hope nothing too serious. Love bikes, but do not miss the body slam!!' Former MotoGP star Marco Melandri wrote: 'Damn!!!! Take care mate!' while Max Biaggi said: 'F***! Can't believe!!!! Be strong my friend.' Cal Crutchlow added: 'Heal up mate and you be back to still getting after it again soon!!! Legend.' In recent months, Bayliss has posted multiple photos on his Instagram, appearing to be riding dirt bikes. He is widely hailed as one of Australia's greatest ever motorsport competitors, having enjoyed a glittering career that spanned from 1997 to 2008, and included a brief stint in MotoGP. Across his Superbikes World Championship career, the former Ducati rider started in 156 races and made 94 podiums - 52 of those were victories. He is also no stranger to injuries. In 2007, Bayliss was involved in a crash at Donington Park. He was later dubbed by motorsport outlet Visor Down as the 'hardest man in motorcycle rating' after he got his hand stuck under the bike before the vehicle smashed into him. Bayliss later required surgery to have his little finger removed and required surgery to repair a split testicle. Despite the severity of the injuries, he would get back on the bike and the following year would claim his third World Superbikes Championship.
