Argostoli police arrested a thirty year old local man on Friday for possession of a small amount of heroin and forty six illegals pills. Apparently sniffed out by a specialist police dog during a pre-planned search.

Earlier this morning Argostoli police arrested a local member of the Roma community following break-ins at two premises around the square in Argostoli. Laptop and a small amount of money taken from one, a larger amount of cash and bottles of alcohol taken from the other.

Longford FC: Football team that lose games by 10 goals or more confident the new year will bring more luck

And Louis van Gaal thinks he’s got problems. The embattled Manchester United manager should come here, to the ground of village side Longford FC. “Crisis-hit club” probably doesn’t quite cut it.

They began the season badly (losing 10-0 to Bredon) and got worse: (13-0 against Chalford; 14-0 against Woolaston; 17-0 – at home – to Bibury FC …)

Now, with just over half the season gone, they are rooted to the bottom of Gloucestershire Northern Senior League Division Two: played 16; goals for: er, none; goal difference: minus 170. You might think “worst football club in Britain”.
