The incident happened in the closing stages of the game when the Andorra goalkeeper, Jesus Awonyo, rushed out of his area to intercept a long ball and collided with Di Miguel, striking him with his knee.

Matt Lawton reporting on the Times website yesterday that Awonyo is now unlikely to face criminal prosecution, a local official has said.

Martin, you're potentially going to write about this this weekend.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Obviously, it went up 25% in the budget.

This was forecast by Matt Lawton in The Times the previous week.

And we're just asking, what does this mean for horse racing and betting? Forecasts were ranging from why it could cost the industry 15 million pounds up to 57 million pounds.

maybe ak do you want to jump in on that first and how you can come in after yeah

But first, I wanted to find out more about Mateusz Cimura, the man whose death sparked this conversation.

So we turn to Matt Lawton, Chief Sports Correspondent for The Times.

We don't know a great deal about Mateusz Czumura.

He was 33, Polish descent, lived in Wakefield, got married only a few weeks before this competition, and had only actually entered a bodybuilding competition a fortnight before this British finals in Telford.

David Yates, I saw watch on from afar with some trepidation as to exactly what the chancellor is going to do with machine gaming duty.

Of course, we spoke last week about the article that Matt Lawton had penned in The Times where he a source clearly close to the racing industry, but also clearly close to this, had suggested that it would only go up to 25% from 20% rather than up to 40% from 20%.

But we don't know that that's the case yet.

And we won't know until Wednesday.

David Johnson puts a button on Champions Day through the timeform lens.

First, however, Matt Lawton.

Chief sports writer for The Times reported overnight that Treasury sources had expressed to him or he had found out from sources connected to the Treasury that machine gaming duty would indeed rise as anticipated in next week's budget, but by nowhere near the amount feared.

Sport and the gambling industry feared a doubling to 40%, which was being petitioned by the Social Market Foundation and Gordon Brown, of course.

I don't think it's good news.

And I think you know, lessons need to be learned from what's gone on this year.

Interesting how it's presented in Matt Lawton's story in the Times.

Clearly he's the chief sports writer, but it's presented as a bit of a victory of sorts for racing or saving racing from some sort of cataclysmic impact of the closure of shops.

I am absolutely a dafty, which allows me to then ask a very more serious question about the punishment because that's w- what all fans...

I asked Matt Lawton, uh, maybe this time last week, long time in f- weeks, a long time in football, what your instincts are.

You know, you all talk to people within the game.

You've all done this long enough to have gut instincts about when we might get this.

Do you think this game and the reaction to it that we're all having and other people are having will further the calls for this to be quick? 'Cause Matt Lawton said, "I think we'll get it this season.

I don't think we'll get it before Christmas." I think a lot of other people are looking at that appeal process.

When would, when do you think you will get it? And I assume the question to when would you like it would be now.

You're seeing players in tight areas getting the ball.

As Matt Lawton, our colleague, wrote, slightly easier to do at the autumn international break than it is to do in the summer at the end of a tight, long, tired season.

In these moments, is this what is, the next 18 months are gonna be built around thinking about Argentina second half, thinking about Spain, and we've got another game-

Cro- Croatia

But before we get into Arsenal, let's talk about Manchester City dominating the headlines throughout this international break.

The story developing all the time.

Matt Lawton and Martin Ziegler are reporting on it on the Times website.

But Gregor- Whilst I was off, you were, you were doing all the question asking and shepherding the conversation brilliantly around this fascinating and challenging topic.
