I'm an ex-Rangers striker who got an Indian club a transfer ban
Cummings, who has been capped by both Scotland and Australia, has just helped his club Mohun Bagan retain their Indian Super League title. But they have been left stunned because FIFA have slapped a transfer ban on them because of irregularities over Cummings' move from Australian club Central Coast Mariners in 2023. Read more: Although the ex-Dundee and Nottingham Forest star left when his contract expired, his club in Kolkata were obliged to pay training compensation to his former club in Australia, who complained to FIFA when they didn't receive the fee. FIFA have now imposed a transfer ban on Mohun Bagan, who have insisted the mistake was an error. They stated: "This was a technical error. It's a temporary ban. The problem is administrative in nature. "We have reached out to FIFA, and will get this sorted in a week. The issue stems from the transfer of Jason Cummings from another club two years ago and his training compensation fee. We believe we completed the payments at the time of signing."

Whitney Cummings on turning postpartum struggles into comedy in "Big Baby" tour
Comedian Whitney Cummings, co-creator of the Emmy-winning sitcom "Two Broke Girls" and star of the autobiographical series "Whitney," has launched the second year of her "Big Baby" tour after recently welcoming her first child. Cummings, who began her standup career in 2004 and has released six comedy specials, is focusing her new material on the experiences of motherhood and everyday life. The 40-year-old comedian jokes about being labeled with a "geriatric pregnancy" by her doctor. "They start calling it geriatric at 35," Cummings said. "I'm grateful that I did this at 40 years old. If I had a kid even a year sooner, I would have sold it for Taylor Swift tickets." Cummings froze her eggs at 33, but ended up conceived naturally. She is co-parenting with her child's father, though they are not a couple. "Let's start co-parenting from the beginning so the kid will never know anything different," she explained about their arrangement. Cummings' comedy has long been known for its fresh, intelligent approach to taboo subjects. She said she believes discussing intimate topics helps "release shame" and prevents bad choices made under its influence. "I didn't want to talk about having postpartum depression," she admitted. "I was like, I don't want to talk about this, which means I have to talk about this." The comedian also reflected on how parenthood shifted her perspective. "Once I had a child, I was like, oh, I like myself when I only think about myself like 30 minutes a day." Cummings' "Big Baby" tour continues through its second year with dates across the country.
