Liverpool records poor service                                                    By: bbccaribbean.com- Saturday September 25th 2011

After Liverpool’s humiliating defeat on Wednesday to a club from the fourth tier of English Football in the league Cup, they are now preparing to face Sundland on Sunday in the premier league. If they lose, the reds could drop into the bottom three of the table and that would continue a dreadful start to the season for their new manager Roy Hodgson. Liverpool has already lost to rivals Manchester City and Manchester United. The former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson says Hodgson’s hands are tied until the Club gets news owners.

Stuart Broad has been fined 50% of his match fee for throwing the ball at Pakistan batsman Zulqarnain Haider during the second Test at Edgbaston. England seamer Broad hit Haider on the shoulder as England struggled for wickets during the third day. Haider had earlier survived a concerted caught-behind appeal by Broad and went on to hit 88 in Pakistan's 291-9. The 24-year-old Broad had pleaded guilty to a charge of "throwing the ball inappropriately". Broad's guilty plea meant there was no need for Sri Lankan match referee Ranjan Madugalle to hold a full hearing after stumps on Sunday. "The actions of Stuart Broad were unacceptable," Madugalle said in an International Cricket Council statement issued on Monday.
