    2025/09/12

    From Diego Simeone’s expressive touchline antics to Ruben Amorim not being able to watch his team’s penalty shootout, football managers aren’t ones to shy away from showing their emotion.

    Former Brentford and Nottingham Forest manager Mark Warburton joins Lee James to share what it’s like as a manager in those situations and how managers have to manage their emotions – including ahead of a big game like the Old Firm when he was Rangers boss.

  • Sam Kendricks and his emotional return to Tokyo
    2025/09/11

    US pole vaulter Sam Kendricks was in Japan ready for the start of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when he received a notification to say he had tested positive for Covid. It meant the reigning world champion couldn’t compete and he would spend the next 10 days in isolation.

    What was that time like for Kendricks and how does he feel about returning to the Japanese capital for the World Athletics Championships?

    The now Olympic silver and bronze medallist speaks to Ed Harry and Ade Adedoyin – who are also facing a different experience in Tokyo than when they were there four years ago – about his previous time in Tokyo and what life has been like since. Will the World Championships being in the city help him make peace with the country?

  • Is the long throw-in back?
    2025/09/09

    “The long throw-in is back” according to England boss Thomas Tuchel, but is he correct? As we know sport is about fine margins, so are football teams now utilising the tactic made famous 20 years ago in the English Premier League to gain an edge over their rivals?

    More Than The Score has assembled its very own team of long throw experts from a world record holder to a throw-in specialist.

    Thomas Gronnemark has made a living out of throw-ins as a former throw-in coach at Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, while Republic of Ireland international Megan Campbell knows how to launch the ball into the box as the world record holder of the longest throw-in by a women’s player.

    They both join John Bennett and BBC Sport’s football tactics correspondent Umir Irfan to look at what it takes to perfect the art and tactic of a long-throw, the advantages that can be gained, tactical trends and if more countries will prioritise the long throw at the 2026 World Cup.
