6 h. ago The kindness of strangers: I was injured and using crutches, when a group of scary teens offered to help me

Hobbling past them on my way to the store, I heard one of them call out. I assumed he was mocking me, then few of them ran up and offered to carry my bagsRead more in the Kindness of strangers seriesI wasn’t especially good at basketball, but I loved it. One day while playing, I broke my ankle. I needed corrective surgery and would be on crutches for months while I recovered. Getting to and from work, and running errands, was suddenly a huge struggle. I could order groceries online, but there were still a few things I’d have to manage myself.Back then, I lived in a unit overlooking a park. Every day after school, a large group of teenagers from a few different schools would sit under the tree nearest our block of units. They were a bit troublesome sometimes. Usually, they would just smoke cigarettes and the occasional doobie. But other times they’d spray paint tags on our fence or yell smartarse comments at people walking through the park. To get to the corner store for milk, I had ...

8 h. ago Idah hits Celtic leveller as Rangers denied in Old Firm showdown

What a phoney war this proved to be. Eighty-four minutes into the Old Firm derby came its first booking, for the Rangers interim manager Barry Ferguson. Long before then, it had become apparent Rangers and Celtic would be pretty content to settle for a point each. These sides swung and comprehensively missed at each other for much of the 97 minutes played. This was no clash for the purist.Celtic may be the happier when dust settles. They avoided three successive league defeats to their oldest foes – a feat Rangers last achieved in 1996-97 – and recovered from a goal behind. Celtic were the better team in the second period but Rangers always carried a counterattacking threat. Hamza Igamane and Nicolas Raskin should have done better when afforded late chances to win this for the hosts. Ferguson and his staff also appealed wildly but in vain for a penalty, nine minutes from time. Continue reading...
