Steve Clarke Clarke disappointed by boos as Japan stun Scotland at Hampden

Published by Sam Flores

Asked if he was surprised by the reaction of the fans, Clarke said: “Yes and it disappointed me to be honest. “It’s just the modern way, it seems to be now if you lose a game you get booed. You have just got to deal with it. It disappoints me.” Scotland will face Ivory Coast at Everton’s Hill Dickinson on Tuesday night as further preparation for the World Cup group games against Haiti, Morocco and Brazil in the summer. Clarke, who expects to make six or seven changes to the side on Merseyside, believes that playing top nations in warm-up games is crucial in order to show his players the level required in North America. He said: “It not a game that you want to lose. But I think there’s enough in that game against the opposition we played against to still feel positive about what we’re trying to do. “We have another really tough game on Tuesday night in Liverpool against Ivory Coast. “Sometimes, I think my players look at me and say ‘come …

Rowling’s response to being criticised for her views on gender. The 80-year-old actor, who will play Hogwarts headmaster Albus Dumbledore in the new HBO adaptation of Rowling’s Harry Potter books, previously said he was “upset” that he’s being criticised for signing up to the series, clarifying that he believes her views on transgender rights to be “ironic and inexplicable”. In a new interview with the New Yorker, Lithgow explained that he is excited to take on the role of Dumbledore as: “The great, big, large, project of doing another version of Harry Potter is basically retelling wonderful stories that Rowling created. “They are very stirring stories. I think there are reasons why they’ve resonated with young people, and young people who have grown up and are still obsessed …

I changed 3 Samsung camera settings and stopped being disappointed by my photos

Published by skeptic

Samsung’s cameras are solid, no question there. And with all the built-in editing tools and AI features, the photos usually look polished straight away. But I still felt like something was missing on the Galaxy S26; the results didn’t always match what I had in mind. So I dug into the settings and made a few changes. Doing this made the photos look much better, and much closer to what I actually wanted to capture. Safe to say, I’m no longer second-guessing my camera after every shot, and you shouldn’t either.

Politics latest: Zelenskyy tells MPs Ukrainians ‘know they can trust Britain’ He was asked whether his relationship with the UK had been damaged by Sir Keir Starmer’s refusal to fully support the US’s offensive military action against Iran. Mr Trump replied: “Well, he hasn’t been supportive, and I think it’s a big mistake. You know, they make a lot of money on trade with the United States. I went out of my way [to make a trade deal].” “We made a good deal for them and, frankly, probably wasn’t appreciated.” The US and UK announced an economic prosperity deal last year, although the UK is still subject to a …

Trump ‘Very Disappointed’ In Starmer Over Iran Hesitation

Published by Sam Flores

Donald Trump has said he is “very disappointed” in Keir Starmer for not initially allowing the US to use British military bases to strike Iran. The White House wanted to use the UK-US base in Diego Garcia – part of the Chagos Islands – to launch its attacks against Iran on Saturday, but the UK government refused. The US president told The Telegraph that such a rejection had “never happened between our countries before”. He said it “sounds like” Starmer was “worried about the legality” of using the base. The prime minister then announced last night that Britain had allowed the US to use UK bases for “defensive” purposes to strike storage depots and missile launch sites in Iran. However, Starmer made it clear the UK would not be getting involved with the offensive elements of this conflict. In a video statement, Starmer suggested this move would allow Britain to adhere to international law. Trump, who has recently U-turned on his previous support for the UK’s deal to hand sovereignty over Chagos to Mauritius, claimed …
