crash as "absolutely unacceptable". -- booing.

The cheer of sport Wales has criticised the way football is run

in the wake of the Malky Mackay text scandal. The former Cardiff city

boss denies being racist, sexist or coma for big. It has been a week

that the coma for big. It has been a week

would rather forget. He is under coma for big. It has been a week

The story has coma for big. It has been a week

newspapers and placed the game under intense scrutiny. This is the chair

of sport Wales. I think football is probably demonstrating some of the

worst excesses of how sport can become quite bloated and out of

touch with all the people who have naturally loved it, including

myself. There has always been at soft underbelly of hideous behaviour

around the game which contrasts strongly with a lot of other sports.

This man has added weight to those concerns claiming football would

collapse if the private text messages of everyone in the game

were examined. Football remains under the spotlight for all the

wrong reasons. The body of the man who was diving at a disused Wardley

has been recovered. He got into trouble yesterday afternoon. Two

other divers with him raised the alarm. Engineers say they have

started to restore the gas supply to alarm. Engineers say they have

homes in Blaenau Gwent after problems. Around 100 homes remain

affected. Work is continuing to fix the problem. We understand the Welsh

Rugby union and four regional teams are on the verge of signing a new

deal. The agreement will see an increase in funding to the legions

and the introduction of dual contracts for the players. We are

used to drama on the pitch but Welsh rugby has seen some clashes of it.

This one threatened to destroy the professional game. The two sides

have fought over the terms of the participation agreement but the

clubs are saying the unions are trying to starve them. Many are

being forced to sit on the sidelines while bickering continued. The old

agreement which expired at the end of last season governed things like

union funding and four and four in clear quarters. The core funding

will remain the same, 6.7 million sheared between the four but an

additional 2 million has been set aside to fund dual contracts for

international players. There will also be a strengthening of the

Gatlin 's law meaning players who leave Wales possibly having to give

up there international ambitions. There was talk of it being concluded

in June but hopefully we can see the light at the end of the tunnel and

look forward to an exciting season. It is a positive step. No-one was

willing to comment today but it would seem an agreement has been

reached. Relations between the two parties have been stretched to

breaking point and beyond over the last 18 months and there are no

doubts some winds will take some time to hail. They all look forward

to a more harmonious future where the captains can play domestic rugby

and worry more about the team performance on the pitch. In golf

Jamie Donaldson has secured his place in the Ryder Cup team. He

finished two shots ahead of Bradley dredge. It will be his first

appearance in the Ryder Cup which takes place in Scotland. Now the

weather. Hello. So far of the bank holiday has not been a complete

wash-out. Yesterday quite decent with plenty sunny spells but there

is a transition tonight into tomorrow. Heavy rain on the way and

quite breezy. This weather front will track across Wales overnight

with heavy spells of rain, especially over high ground. It will

not be a cold night. Temperatures around 18 Celsius. The breeze will

strengthen and we will have a yellow warning for rain. It will make its

way across to the North East. Temperatures peaking around 18

Celsius. The band of rain will break up tomorrow night becoming more

patchy. Fairly unsettled over the next few days then high pressure

building for the end of the week. That is all for now. For now,

goodbye. After that cold start this morning,

it has been quite a
