3 w. ago Football Daily | Ekitiké joins another red family: prematurely disrobing before an early bath

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!If you’re going to plagiarise you might as well copy from the best, but when Hugo Ekitiké decided to pay homage to Lionel Messi by replicating one of the Argentinian’s more iconic celebrations, his tribute came at a cost to Liverpool. While Messi famously wheeled away in celebration, removed his shirt and pointedly held it up in front of the Bernabéu crowd after scoring a late, late winner for Barcelona in a five-goal thriller at Real Madrid in 2017, Ekitiké has now rather more infamously done the same thing after scoring a tap-in from an excellent Federico Chiesa assist against Championship opposition in the third round of Fizzy Cup. And while both players were routinely shown yellow cards for what has now been a bookable offence for more than 20 years, at least the one brandished in the direction of Messi was only his first of the match, so he wasn’t sent off.

3 w. ago ‘Just add water’: how to bring back ancient plants in a Norfolk ghost pond

An expert team are resurrecting ice age ponds and finding rare species returning from a ‘perfect time capsule’If you glanced into a green field and saw a yellow digger tearing into the turf, you might assume it was another site for new houses. But the two circle-shaped scars of dark soil on a Norfolk pasture are ghost ponds being brought back to life by an innovative and cheap form of nature restoration.“It looks awful now. ‘What have they done? It’s a disaster!’” says Carl Sayer, a professor of geography at UCL, who is dancing with glee around the bleak-looking, freshly dug hole. “The colonisation is so quick. Within a year, it is full of water plants. Within two years, it looks like it’s been there forever. It’s a spectacular recovery, and you’re truly recovering ancient assemblages of plants.” Continue reading...
