Guardiola: There is so much love for Kevin
Guardiola: There is so much love for Kevin Pep Guardiola says the love and respect the City fans showed for Kevin De Bruyne will mean more to him than anything else. Our Belgian maestro played his final game at the Etihad as the Blues beat Bournemouth 3-1. Advertisement By the final whistle, few had left the stadium instead staying on to pay homage to one of the Club's greatest players of all time. GET YOUR KDB #17 SHIRT HERE! 'The important thing is the emotion for him, his family and our fans,' said Pep. 'The vibe we got and everybody saw how much everyone is connected. City and his family. How much love there is. 'Titles are nice to achieve but when you live in a place after a decade with this much love, respect and gratitude there is nothing better than that. 'It is a sad day and he will be missed, there is no doubt about that. He made the contribution to achieve the victory that is massively important. Advertisement 'Still we need the last step. It's been really, really nice.' The boss says Kevin will be impossible to replace, and he joins a list of elite talent that has left the Club in recent years – though all remain in the hearts and minds of our supporters. 'Like Sergio, some players are unique. Sergio scored the most important goal in our history, and it was so nice to see him, Vinny, Leroy, Raheem, Riyad, Joe Hart, Pablo [send messages]. 'Everyone was there. 10 years. It's a lot of games, titles and moments. Today we saw how much love was there. That is so nice. 'It's not about goals or assists. It's the connection and year by year to provide for this Club that people love. 'When Kevin arrived here I am pretty sure he was not a Man City fan, but I am sure now he is, and he will be forever because of the connection between all the people and him.'

‘Nearly fell off my day bed': Voss on trade talk
Carlton coach Michael Voss says he's stunned by the trade speculation surrounding some of the Blues' 'genuine assets'. There were multiple reports clubs would target forwards Harry McKay and Charlie Curnow, as well as midfielder Sam Walsh, this off-season. Curnow has booted 24 goals this year, while McKay, who missed several games for personal reasons, has kicked nine. Walsh has played in each off the Blues' 11 games but has been below his best. The midfielder comes out of contract at the end of 2026. Voss, who spent a part of Carlton's bye holidaying overseas, detailed his shock when first asked about Walsh's future at the club. 'Yeah, there was a bit of speculation about our boys over the last week or so, I nearly fell off my day bed in Fiji when I read some of it,' he said. 'It's really difficult to answer a hypothetical question. I think these boys know how valuable they are to us as people and as players.' Voss shut down suggestions the Blues could part ways with one of their Coleman Medal winners at season's end, insisting they're a commodity rival coaches envy. 'All I would say on that is that they (McKay and Curnow) are extremely important to us and they have since my time here over four years' he said. 'I'm also fortunate enough to talk to a lot of opposition coaches and know both of them come up in conversation quite a lot. 'When you've got them together, they're genuine assets, they can be distinctive assets for you and distinctive strengths. 'Talking as a coach, I love having them both out there, both playing in good form, I know how hard they are to play against, how much better we are when they're both there. 'From our point of view, that makes it a bit of an easy decision when there's any other speculation that comes with it.' Carlton has welcomed new chief executive Graham Wright to shadow the outgoing Brian Cook before the official change over in October. Voss said Wright had made his way to every department of the football club and had started to build relationships. 'We've got two seasoned leaders who are extremely experienced at what they do, from what I've seen the transition has been fantastic,' he said. 'I don't really see too much of a negative on that.'

Obstruction rule creates Women's College World Series more controversy in Texas win
Rules and the application of those rules have gotten out of hand in collegiate athletics. In the fall, we're constantly debating what is and isn't targeting. In the spring, it's the obstruction rule in softball. The application of the rule has been incredibly inconsistent and often misapplied by umpires throughout the sport. It was once again poorly applied in game one of the Women's College World Series championship series between Texas and Texas Tech. With one out in the top of the fifth inning and the score tied at zero, Texas Tech's Logan Halleman attempted to steal second base. She was initially ruled out, and she was out by a mile, but on review, the umpiring crew overturned the call based on obstruction. The argument was that the short stop's foot was in the baseline. However, Leighann Goode received the ball just as Halleman was beginning her slide into second. Goode applied the tag more than a foot away from the base and did so without any other part of her body coming into contact with Halleman. There's literally no better way to play that than the way Goode did. But, just for reference, here is the obstruction rule from the NCAA. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle "The change is intended to simplify the rule covering when a defensive player impedes the progress of any runner who is legally running bases on a live ball. "Under the revised rule, it is obstruction if the defensive player, while not in possession of the ball, does the following: Blocks any part of the leading edge of first, second or third base or home plate. Otherwise blocks the runner from advancing or returning to a base. "However, defensive players will not be called for obstruction if they are in possession of the ball or if they are making a legitimate reaction to the trajectory of the ball after it is thrown. Additionally, if in the umpire's judgment the runner would have clearly been out, then obstruction is ignored." Later in the inning, Texas Tech took a 1-0 lead on a two-out single from Mihiya Davis. Could it be argued that it was obstruction? Sure. However, that's not the spirit of obstruction. The idea behind obstruction was to protect the players. Goode did that on her own with the way she received the ball on the stolen base attempt. She wasn't blocking the base. She wasn't preventing Halleman from reaching second. And it was clear that Halleman was out. This isn't what obstruction was intended for. It ultimately didn't matter as Texas scored two in the bottom of the sixth to take the lead and win game one. However, it very well could have mattered. That could have been the second out of the inning, which may have prevented Tech from taking the 1-0 lead. Texas got the last laugh as the Longhorns Softball X (formerly known as Twitter) took a jab at the obstruction call. And it isn't just this game. Obstruction has been front and center throughout the NCAA Tournament, getting in the way of some key moments in games. As Patty Gasso called for the NCAA to look into the way they handle the Women's College World Series semifinal schedule, there should be a call from coaches everywhere to overhaul or get rid of the obstruction rule altogether.
