Watch: Carlos The Jackal gets episode on Israeli TV show 'Enemies' "Wow that [sex act] was very in your face. I was expecting to see sex but didn't count on that. The show never ceases to amaze me," said a Reddit user. "I guess a prosthetic counts. That couldn't have been real. Looked fake," said another. "Uhhhhhh that [sex act] was front and centre. I'm really surprised they were able to let that on air," a user said. "Wow this episode had everything! The weirdest [sex act] I've ever seen, the graphic depiction of a decapitated child that we were robbed of last episode, a kingsguard crappier than Bobby B's. I could go on!" another wrote on Reddit. The rating hit was a bit lower for season two as 7.8 million viewers tuned in through various platforms last week. (With inputs from agencies)

House of the Dragon’s ‘extremely’ explicit sex scene leaves fans horrified

The Queen of Pop Madonna once again came under scrutiny for showing up 3 hours late to her concert. The Queen of Pop made her fans upset by making them wait at the celebration concert in New York City.

'Queen of Pop' under fire from her fans

<p>Cricket in India is not a sport but a religion. Be it the great Kapil Dev, master blaster Sachin Tendulkar or MS Dhoni, cricketers are worshipped like Demigods. Following what seamer Mohammed Shami produced in the 2023 World Cup, he seems to have fallen under this category.</p>

<p>Shami shared a video on his Instagram handle of hundreds of fans standing in long queues waiting to see him as he visits home. In the video, the security, delegated outside his house, is helping fans enter one by one to see their superstar cricketer live in front.</p>

<p>Such a moment reflects the love and respect a player has earned in his career, and Shami – a catalyst for India’s CWC success, deserved every bit of it.</p>

<h2>Shami’s CWC campaign</h2>

<p>India was on a winning spree, having beaten Australia and arch-rivals Pakistan in their opening two CWC matches. Against Bangladesh in Pune, Hardik injured his ankle, with India roping in Shami as his replacement for the next game against New Zealand. Less everyone knew this call would help India re-write history on several grounds.</p>

The incident occurred on Diwali night, and the police have registered an FIR under sections 112 and 117 of Maharashtra Police Act, ANI reported.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor reacted to the firecracker incident and posted on X, "I'm hearing about fireworks inside theatres during Tiger3." Calling bursting firecrackers in a cinema hall "dangerous," he said, "Let's enjoy the film without putting ourselves and others at risk. Stay safe."</p>

<p>However, this is not the first time Salman Khan fans have burst firecrackers inside a cinema hall. Salman Khan often releases his movies on Diwali. In 2021, fans burst firecrackers inside a cinema hall during&nbsp;<em>Antim: The Final Truth</em>'s screening.</p>

<p>The incident caught Salman's attention. He took to social media, condemning the incident and urging fans not to repeat it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He said, "Request all my fans not to take firecrackers inside the auditorium as it could be a huge fire hazard, thereby endangering your lives and others. I request theatre owners not to allow firecrackers inside the cinema, and security should stop them from doing so at the entry point. Enjoy the film by all means. But please avoid this is my request to all my fans. Thank you."</p>

Gravitas: Chinese football fans enjoy hot beer

<p>Thousands of people who flocked to Qatar for enjoying the biggest football tournament, FIFA World Cup 2022, opted to stay at the fan villages in Qatar. According to reports, these fan villages provide guests on a tight budget with an alternative to Doha's pricey standard hotels. Fans, however, have expressed their anger in a number of videos in which they recorded their experience of residing in fan villages. Many of the furious fans are complaining of dirty tap water and some of them are unhappy with the unavailability of air conditioning facility inside the tents amid hot weather.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to a video report dated November 24 published by GiveMeSport on their Facebook channel, a fan complained of the hot weather and lack of AC facility. "There are hundreds of tents that are empty here. It is really really hot today, the hottest day so far that I have been here. I am really light-headed because of the heat and it is so humid in the tent."</p>

<p>"There have been so many issues in the last couple of days. The first day, obviously I thought, it's alright, it's not too bad, but oh god."</p>

<p>While complaining of the flies which, as per him, swarm the tents, the fan in the video can be seen ranting about it at length.&nbsp;&nbsp;"And it would have been a really good idea for them to put some sort of deterrent up, even a cheap one, just to sort the 'fly situation'. There would have been hordes of them. I bought some fly screen to hopefully sort with the fly situation and it's not helping because I think they'd come in and start sticking to the fly screen."</p>

<p>The angry fan, who can be seen flustered with the alleged situation in the fan village tents, pointed out that&nbsp;some of the fans that he is staying with said the photos of the tents contained air conditioned units inside the tents but there are none here at all.</p>

<p>"Now we did mention this and they provided us with a fan which wasn't here originally. That helps a little bit." He said there are hundreds of tents that are empty despite the fact that they showed urgency saying it was their last straw to book the tents. In the video, he also complained that he was charged for the public services which should ideally be free as per the rules.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Even at the airport, the hire car that we have got allows us free public transport that's metro, tram, buses and matchday shuttles. And we went to reception yesterday to arrange the travel, to basically inquire about the bus to get us to the games yesterday. Oh yeah, you have to pay for this."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Continuing with his experience on the video, the fan said that he questioned the organisers if they were an original fan village. "They said, well, there are many fan villages. They avoided the question. I will tell you why it is cheaper getting a taxi which is about 35 minutes and quicker."&nbsp;</p>

<p>In a separate video posted by BBC, on their Facebook channel on 20 November, a Mexico fan can be seen saying, "When we saw the pictures online of this, it seemed like a really fun idea. It seemed like really cool like a festival. But once we got here, our impressions were not precisely all positive. The tents are made of this really thick plastic which obviously for the nice and warm weather that we are having right now makes it extremely hot. Right now it is unbearable to be inside."</p>

<p>They also said that the tap water is dirty and they dropped the idea of even using it at all. "The water is like brown when you open it so its not really that exciting. I brushed my teeth with my water bottle because that was clearer&nbsp;than the water over there."<br />

FIFA World Cup 2022: Enraged fans make SHOCKING revelations from inside fan village tents

<p>The FIFA World Cup 2022 edition got underway in Qatar on November 20 (Sunday). While only a handful of games have gone by, the hype around the World Cup has caught everyone's attention. Even in India, while the national sides are far from qualifying for the mega event, the craze for football knows no boundaries. In Kochi, as many as 17 fans crossed boundaries to make their experience of watching the FIFA World Cup a memorable affair by buying a house, worth INR 2.3 million (INR 23 lakhs), to be able to watch the proceedings together.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Love for soccer has no boundaries!</strong></p>

<p>PK Harris, one of the buyers of the house told ANI, “Because no match is enjoyable without loud cheering and fun. Most of the open spaces we used to screen were either sold or built on." Harris, who is a PWD contractor, revealed, "That’s when we came to know about the sale and pooled in money to buy the house."</p>

<p>It is to be noted that the group of ardent football fans are mostly supporting Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, and France. In this regard, Harris said, "The idea of investing in the property is to celebrate every world cup season as we did for the past 15 or more years, and for the coming generation.&nbsp;A 50-inch television and internet facility has been set up here. Everyone in the area is welcome to watch the match."</p>

Manchester City celebrates Premier League title win with fans in style, paints city in blue during parade

<p>Chelsea supporters will be able to buy tickets to away games, cup games and women's fixtures after the British government amended the club's special licence, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said on Wednesday.</p>

<p>Chelsea will not receive any revenue from the ticket sales, the DCMS added, with all proceeds going to relevant competition organisers.</p>

<p>Premier League Chelsea were unable to sell tickets due to British government restrictions after sanctions were imposed on the club's Russian owner Roman Abramovich following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.</p>

<p>"Since Roman Abramovich was added to the UK's sanctions list for his links to (Russian president) Vladimir Putin, we have worked extensively to ensure the club can continue to play football while ensuring the sanctions regime continues to be enforced," sports minister Nigel Huddleston said.</p>

Chelsea supporters will be able to buy tickets to away games, cup games and women's fixtures after the British government amended the club's special licence, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said on Wednesday.

<p>While talking about AB de Villiers' worldwide vocation in a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra reviewed the inspiring acclaim the South African has gotten from Indian spectators, like the ones held for any semblance of MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"If we see Indian cricket's immediate span, Dhoni, Kohli, and Rohit are the three players who cause a roar when they enter the ground. I saw a similar standing ovation given to AB de Villiers before the match. It was as if he was an Indian" - he said.</p>

<p>Aakash Chopra pointed out that AB de Villiers has extraordinary numbers both in Tests and ODI cricket.</p>

<p>"His Test and ODI career numbers are wonderful. He scored 8765 runs in Tests at an average of 50.66. He reached close to ten thousand runs in ODIs, 9577 runs at an even better average of 53.50, and a strike rate above 100. That's phenomenal" - he said.</p>

<p>"But his T20I numbers, he has played 75 matches which are quite a few, but only 1672 runs in that at an average of 26 and a strike rate of 135. He did not hit a century and ten half-centuries. But if you see T20s, there is a difference in chalk and cheese between his T20I and T20 numbers. He is a runaway match-winner in T20s, he was the same player in Tests and ODIs but for whatever reason, his performances for South Africa in T20Is were not that good" - he added.</p>

<p>Aakash Chopra contemplated AB de Villiers probably won't have satisfied hopes in T20I cricket because of the colossal tension on him and the jobs he was allocated to play.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It could be because the team was not winning and there was a lot of pressure on him but that happens with RCB also where the team does not win but he still does well.

<p>Russia will allow foreign ticket holders for Euro 2020 matches in St. Petersburg to enter the country without a visa to attend the tournament, the local organizing committee said on Thursday (May 20).</p>

<p>Russia has limited foreigners' entry into the country because of the COVID-19 pandemic, only allowing citizens of countries with which it has resumed international flights to cross its borders.</p>

<p>"In the current difficult conditions, the movement of people has been severely reduced, and we were met with understanding by the federal authorities and were able to open the border to those who are coming to St. Petersburg for a soccer holiday this summer," local organizing committee CEO Alexei Sorokin said in a statement.</p>

<p>Sorokin added that tournament officials and participants would still need to comply with safety regulations and test negative for COVID-19.</p>

<p>St Petersburg residents interviewed by Reuters on Thursday were divided on the decision. One of them said that it could be good as long as fans are following the coronavirus safety rules, and the other said that during the global pandemic it could be better for supporters to watch games online.</p>

<p>The organizing committee also said that visa procedures for foreign officials from European soccer body UEFA, volunteers, media representatives and other tournament participants would be simplified.</p>

<p>St. Petersburg, which has confirmed it will fill its stadium to 50% of capacity for the European championship, is set to host seven matches, including a quarter-final. The 24-nation tournament kicks off next month after it was postponed by a year because of the pandemic.</p>

Football: Russia to allow foreign fans to attend Euro 2020 in St. Petersburg

<p>Portugal's&nbsp;football&nbsp;league has scrapped plans to welcome fans back into stadiums for the final round of fixtures on Wednesday.</p>

<p>In a statement released on Monday, the Liga Portugal cited the timing and uncertainty surrounding requirements that the country's health authorities will set out, as well as questions over fairness given only home teams would be allowed fans.</p>

<p>"In today's meeting, Board members unanimously decided that conditions will not be met for test-pilot events to take place and thus they are not authorising the return of fans," a Liga Portugal statement read.</p>

<p>"Given the uncertainty remaining about the conditions that health authorities will put in place, it would be impossible to prepare an implementation plan just one day before the games take place.</p>

<p>"This important reason is also compounded by the fact that the penultimate round of games did not have any fans in the stadiums.</p>

<p>"Now, given different objectives are still up in the air, allowing only one of the teams to have fans in the ground would be a grave distortion of sporting integrity and fairness amongst the sides."</p>

<p>The statement did, however, confirm the league would begin talks with the relevant authorities to ensure that fans could return to grounds for the beginning of the 2021-22 season.</p>

<p>Earlier this month Sporting won their first Primeira Liga title since 2002 but the relegation places are still to be decided with three points separating second-bottom Farense from Portimonense in 14th. Nacional have already been relegated.</p>

<p>This is the first season where there will be a relegation playoff, with the team that finishes third from bottom pitted against the third-placed team in the second division.</p>

<p>Porto's Estadio do Dragao stadium is due to host this season's Champions League final on May 29 between English clubs Manchester City and Chelsea.</p>

<p>European&nbsp;football's showpiece event was scheduled to be in Istanbul but UEFA shifted the final to Porto after Turkey was placed on the British government's red-list for travel, meaning English fans would not have been able to attend.</p>

<p>The 50,000-seater stadium will house 6,000 supporters from each team.</p>

<p>Portugal on Monday allowed British tourists to re-enter the country without undertaking a period of quarantine and is also on the UK's green list for travel.</p>

Portugal's football league has scrapped plans to welcome fans back into stadiums for the final round of fixtures on Wednesday. In a statement released on Monday, the Liga Portugal cited the timing and uncertainty surrounding requirements that the country's health authorities will set out, as well as questions over fairness given only home teams would be allowed fans. "In today's meeting, Board members unanimously decided that conditions will not be met for test-pilot events to take place and thus they are not authorising the return of fans," a Liga Portugal statement read. "Given the uncertainty remaining about the conditions that health authorities will put in place, it would be impossible to prepare an implementation plan just one day before the games take place. "This important reason is also compounded by the fact that the penultimate round of games did not have any fans in the stadiums. "Now, given different objectives are still up in the air, allowing only one of the teams to have fans in the ground would be a grave distortion of sporting integrity and fairness amongst the sides." The statement did, however, confirm the league would begin talks with the relevant authorities to ensure that fans could return to grounds for the beginning of the 2021-22 season. Earlier this month Sporting won their first Primeira Liga title since 2002 but the relegation places are still to be decided with three points separating second-bottom Farense from Portimonense in 14th. Nacional have already been relegated. This is the first season where there will be a relegation playoff, with the team that finishes third from bottom pitted against the third-placed team in the second division. Porto's Estadio do Dragao stadium is due to host this season's Champions League final on May 29 between English clubs Manchester City and Chelsea. European football's showpiece event was scheduled to be in Istanbul but UEFA shifted the final to Porto after Turkey was placed on the British government's red-list for travel, meaning English fans would not have been able to attend. The 50,000-seater stadium will house 6,000 supporters from each team. Portugal on Monday allowed British tourists to re-enter the country without undertaking a period of quarantine and is also on the UK's green list for travel.

Football: Portugal cancels plans to allow fans for final league matchday

<p>English fans attending the Champions League final in Porto between Manchester City and Chelsea will have to fly in on the day of the match and will need to stay in a 'bubble' before flying back straight after the game, the Portuguese government said on Thursday.</p>

<p>European soccer's governing body UEFA confirmed on Thursday that the game had been moved from original host Istanbul to Porto in order to ensure that English fans could attend.</p>

<p>Turkey was on the UK government's 'red list' for travel while Portugal has been placed on the 'green list'.</p>

<p>City and Chelsea will each be provided with 6,000 tickets for their fans.</p>

<p>Portugal's Cabinet Affairs Minister Mariana Vieira da Silva told a news conference that a set of rules had been put in place for those fans attending the final.</p>

<p>"Those who come to the final of the Champions League will come and return on the same day, with a test done, in a bubble situation, on charter flights.</p>

<p>"There will be two fan zones and from there they will be moved to the stadium and from the stadium to the airport, being in Portugal less than 24 hours," she said.</p>

<p>Vieira da Silva said that the local health authority was in charge of selecting seats for fans to ensure social distancing and that tickets were non-transferable.</p>

<p>Fans who traveled to Porto to enjoy the occasion without going to the stadium were not subject to the same restrictions Vieira da Silva added.</p>

<p>"Obviously those coming by plane (to be in Porto while the match is on but do not actually go the stadium) will comply with the established rules and security measures will be put in place as happened in Lisbon last year."</p>

<p>She said the restrictions put in place were to ensure that COVID-19 rates remain low in Portugal.</p>

<p>The announcement will be a blow to Porto's hotel and hospitality industry who would have been hoping to cash in on English fans enjoying a long weekend in the city.</p>

<p>UEFA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.</p>

<p>Manchester City said on their website that the club would be "offering qualifying supporters an official day trip travel package from Manchester to Porto. Further information will be provided to supporters as soon as possible."</p>

Fans to stay in bubble, return same day for Champions League final

<p>The Premier League has welcomed the British government's announcement on the easing of lockdown restrictions amid the COVID-19 pandemic and Chief Executive Richard Masters said on Monday it is their priority to have full stadiums next season.</p>

<p>The government said in February that under the third stage of its four-stage "roadmap", stadiums would - if all conditions are met - from May 17 be allowed to hold up to 50% of their capacity, or 4,000 people, whichever is lower.</p>

<p>A special provision will be made for large outdoor, seated venues, so that they can open their doors to up to 10,000 people or 25% of the capacity, whichever is lower.</p>

<p>Prime Minister Boris Johnson confirmed on Monday the roadmap would progress as planned.</p>

<p>"It'll be brilliant to see fans back. They've been hugely missed and the Premier League hasn't been the same without them. Their presence will ensure a fantastic finale to the end of our season," Masters said.</p>

<p>Matches in England's top-flight have taken place behind closed doors since June, apart from a brief window late last year when small crowds were allowed before a resurgence of COVID-19 cases.</p>

<p>The Premier League said last week attendance for the penultimate round of matches to be played on May 18-19 and the final day May 23 would be restricted to home fans.</p>

<p>"Although only a small number of home fans will be at our matches next week, this is an important step in our return to normality," Masters added.</p>

<p>"We'll continue to work with the government and other authorities as our priority is to have full vibrant stadiums – including away supporters - from the start of next season. Only then will we get back to the real Premier League."</p>

<p>A crowd of 8,000 watched Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup final on April 25, while this weekend's FA Cup final is expected to have 21,000 fans present.</p>

Premier League anticipates full stadiums next season

<p>Manchester United owner and co-chairman Joel Glazer has told supporters he is willing to discuss increasing fan shareholding in the club as part of greater consultation with them.</p>

<p>Violent protests against United's American owners, who were central to plans for a breakaway Super League, led to Sunday's Premier League match at home to Liverpool being postponed.</p>

<p>The Manchester United Supporters Trust&nbsp;had written to Glazer on Monday urging him to take several steps including opening up shares to fans.</p>

<p>Responding in an open letter https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/Joel-Glazer-writes-letter-to-Man-Utd-Fans-Forum-in-May-2021 to Fans' Forum members, Glazer said: "As one of the few European&nbsp;football&nbsp;clubs listed on the public markets, we believe in the principle of fans owning shares in the club.</p>

<p>"We have previously engaged with the Manchester United Supporters’ Trust on fan share ownership and we want to continue and accelerate those discussions, together with provisions to enhance associated fan consultation".</p>

<p>Glazer said the club was committed to listening to the views of fans.</p>

<p>"We want to work together to come up with an ambitious package of measures which will transform our relationship with fans and strengthen the club for the long-term.</p>

<p>"In this spirit, we will reach out to members of the forum to schedule a meeting in which I shall participate as soon as possible after the final game of the season," he wrote.</p>

<p>"One of the clearest lessons of the past few weeks is the need for us to become better listeners. To this end, I can commit the club will engage across all of the issues raised in your letter".</p>

<p>But in reply to Glazer, MUST said it would have to consult more widely before entering any discussions with the club.</p>

<p>"The (Glazer) response could in theory - and we emphasize in theory only - be a change in direction and approach by the owners versus their silence and disregard for communication over the last 16 years," MUST said in a statement.</p>

<p>"We will, however, determine our position based on the resulting actions rather than these words alone. We have seen empty words too many times previously.</p>

<p>"We will seek a mandate from our members and from the wider fanbase before proceeding. We only wish to engage in this process should our supporters want us to," it added.</p>

<p>The Super League affair has relit the always smoldering protest movement amongst United fans with a supporter demonstration at the club's training ground followed by Sunday's protests which involved clashes with police.</p>

<p>Glazer has apologized for United's involvement in the Super League project, which would have seen 12 of the top clubs in Europe break away from the established structures to create a privately owned championship.</p>
