Jude Bellingham facing 12-MATCH ban after X-rated rant at referee as he releases statement apologising… to team-mates
JUDE BELLINGHAM could face 12 MATCHES on the sidelines following his red card for an X-rated rant towards the referee.
Bellingham, 21, was sent off in the first half of Real Madrid’s 1-1 La Liga draw with Osasuna after what he claims was a “miscommunication” between him and referee Jose Munuera.
The referee’s report claimed that Bellingham told Munuera “f*** you”, resulting in his dismissal.
However, Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti claimed after the match that Bellingham had used the term “f*** off” instead, suggesting it is a phrase rather than a personal attack.
He said: “I think the referee did not understand Jude Bellingham’s English. He said f*** off, not f*** you… that’s way different.
“I won’t talk more about the referee as I want to be on the bench next week.”
One person who won’t be on the bench next week is Bellingham, unless of course his red card is overturned.
If not, Bellingham could see himself banned for up to 12 GAMES.
The Spanish FA’s disciplinary Code tells that any player guilty of “insulting, offending, or addressing the main referee, assistants, fourth official, directors, or sports authorities in offensive terms or attitudes” will be punished with a suspension of four to 12 matches.
That astonishing ban means that, at the very least, Bellingham will miss Madrid’s La Liga bouts with Girona, Betis, and Rayo Vallecano, as well as the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Real Sociedad.
Should the ban extend to the full 12 matches, Bellingham will then miss the majority of the remainder of the season.

It’s yet to be confirmed how long Bellingham will be suspended.
But the England superstar has already apologised to his teammates for his red card, shutting down the talk about the misunderstanding at the same time.
Seemingly hinting at an immediate return to action, he wrote: “Enough said about the misunderstanding.
“Just wanted to apologise again for leaving my teammates in such a tough position and thank the fans for their support and understanding.
“See you on Wednesday at home”.
Bellingham defended himself while speaking to the media after the game on Saturday too.
He told reporters: “It’s clear that it was a mistake and there is a miscommunication. I remember the incident very well but I’ve also seen the video and the video doesn’t match the report.
“I don’t want to go too much in detail about what was said but it’s like a expression like ‘joder’.
“I hope that the footage review can show that is not the same as the report and going forward that the federation can keep it under consideration because it’s huge evidence.
“Obviously we can’t change the result but I think that going forward there will be a change.”
He continued: “There was no insult. You can see clearly in the video. I remember the incident very well. It was an expression to myself not directed towards the referee.
“But obviously there was a misunderstanding of what he believes I said to him. It wasn’t an insult at all.”
Last week, TV mics picked up an X-rated Bellingham rant directed at a linesman during Real Madrid‘s clash with Atletico.
He shouted: “F*** you man! F*** off!”
Even though he swore at an official, the midfielder escaped any punishment on that occasion.
World’s biggest waterpark with 105 slides is in much-loved winter sun… here’s how to visit for free
THE world’s biggest waterpark is in Dubai and it has some record-breaking attractions.
Aquaventure Waterpark is huge with over 105 slides and attractions, as well as a private beach.
Found on the very edge of the Palm Jumeirah, it has everything you need for a day out from pools and slides to relaxing cafes.
Starting with the attractions, the most terrifying has to be the Odyssey of Terror which is the world’s tallest waterslide.
Another is The Black Out slide which is 157 feet tall with a near-vertical drop body slide – the highest of its kind in the Middle East.
Leap of Faith is not for the faint-hearted as it has a 60-foot slide that goes through a lagoon filled with sharks.
But the terrifying slides didn’t put one traveller off.
They said: “The best water theme park in the world! The sheer number of water slides on offer is unbelievable.”
According to TripAdvisor, the Aquaventure Waterpark is voted the top activity to do in Dubai.
One reviewer said: “This is the best waterpark in the world and my 4.5yo daughter had the time of her life.”
In terms of the attractions, there’s the opportunity to meet some wildlife up close and personal.
For anyone wanting to explore the park underwater, you can snorkel and scuba dive and cross paths with 65,000 marine species including sharks and sting rays.
Aquaventure Waterpark is also home to the world’s largest dedicated kids zone with a lagoon full of six-lane racer slides and a children’s tornado slide as well as lots of pools and fountains.
For anyone wanting a break from the adrenaline there’s also a chance to relax.
From the private beach, enjoy the Dubai skyline while you sip on a cocktail.
Or, chill around the lazy river and take in a view of the park from your comfortable inflatable dingy.
Also around the park are private cabanas at an extra cost of AED 900 (£197).
Included with a private cabana is seating for six guests, butler service, cold towels, complimentary water, and a fruit platter.
A day pass ticket costs 330 UAE (£72.12). But for anyone celebrating a birthday, if you register before your arrival, then you can enter the park completely free.
And you don’t have to visit the park on your birthday, the free entry is valid six days before or after too.
Anyone using a birthday offer for their entry can also bring two friends who can get 20 per cent off their full price ticket.
Or if you are staying at either the Atlantic The Royal, Atlantis The Palm, or Rixos The Palm Hotel & Suites Dubai, you will get free access to Aquaventure every day of your stay.

Gladiator star Paul Mescal protected by huge bodyguard as he appears in West End play
GLADIATOR 2 star Paul Mescal was towered over by a huge bodyguard as he walked through London’s West End.
The actor, 29, who is currently starring in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Noel Coward Theatre, probably could have passed unnoticed in his low-key outfit.
But his burly minder, who wore a T-shirt reading, “I would like to apologize to anyone I have not yet offended”, ensured he stood out from the crowd.
Mescal wore a black cap and a grey trench coat over a red and yellow striped T-shirt.
He finished his outfit with ankle-length trousers and black Adidas trainers.
The hunk is now a global superstar after landing the lead role in Ridley Scott’s Roman epic.
But the Irishman is doing his best to keep his feet on the ground.
Last week he was snapped riding on the Piccadilly Line tube, doing his best to keep a low profile and blend in with other commuters.
Paul has had a meteoric rise to fame since starring in the romantic coming-of-age drama Normal People, alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones.
The BBC series based on Sally Rooney‘s novel left directors falling over themselves to work with its leads.
Fans have been desperate to see a continuation of the love story between their character Connell and Marianne, but it is yet materialise.
In 2023 he earned his first Oscar nomination for the drama Aftersun, which tracks a young father and his daughter on a holiday together.
While he missed out on the gong that year, the actor did become a Hollywood A-lister thanks to his role in Gladiator.
Starring alongside Denzel Washington and Pedro Pascal, Paul played Lucius, the secret son of Russell Crowe‘s character from the original movie.
He also teamed up with Andrew Scott in the tragic film, All Of Us Strangers, which followed a man as he struggles with loneliness.
Paul is now performing as Stanley Kowalski in the Tennessee Williams play, which is currently running until 22 February.
The star is currently believed to be dating singer Gracie Abrams, who shot to fame last year with the release of her album, The Secret Of Us, and appearing on dates of Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour.
The couple have kept their relationship out of the spotlight, but are believed to have started dating last summer.
However, the Irish star was spotted ‘having an upsetting conversation’ with Gracie during a meal together in Newington Green at the end of January.

Why is Amad Diallo not playing for Man Utd?
AMAD DIALLO has been the shining light of Manchester United under new boss Ruben Amorim this season.
However it is now touch and go whether the Ivory Coast ace will be playing again in this campaign.
Amad is the club’s joint top goalscorer alongside Bruno Fernandes with nine goals in all competitions, while only the club captain, with 12, has provided more assists than Amad (7).
Why is Amad Diallo not playing for Man Utd?
Amad Diallo has suffered ankle ligament damage.
The star confirmed in a statement on Saturday, February 15 that he will be out for “some time”.
The 22-year-old is still being assessed, with major fears his season is now over.
Amad wrote on Instagram: “Extremely disappointed to be writing this message in such a crucial time of the season.
“Unfortunately, I will be out for some time with an injury. I will come back stronger than ever!!
“Time to support the boys from the outside. Still loads to play for.”
SPURS VS MAN UTD LIVE – LATEST UPDATES
Diallo joins Lisandro Martinez as a long-term injury blow for United.
Martinez suffered cruciate ligament damage during United’s defeat by Crystal Palace earlier in February.
He is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery.
The Argentine defender wrote on Instagram: “Today, after going through several stormy days where I allowed myself to feel and accept my sadness, helplessness, insecurities, fears, and a deep emotional imbalance, I am reconnecting with my essence and my values, which help me see things from a kinder and more positive perspective.
“The surgery went perfectly. Now it’s time to give it my all, with heart and soul, in the rehabilitation process.”
I live in a tiny hippie shack in the woods – trolls call me a ‘squatter’ and accuse me of ‘normalising homelessness’
A YOUNG woman who lives in a 1970s ‘hippie shack’ in the woods has candidly clapped back at trolls who criticise her lifestyle.
Kai, who is based in Canada, lives in a house built on the back of a truck.
But whilst the content creator loves living in the middle of nowhere, she has been brutally targeted by trolls who call her a ‘squatter’ and accuse her of ‘normalising homelessness’.
Keen to clap back to the haters, the influencer, who has over one million followers on TikTok, filmed herself outside her unique home and said: “I’m not a squatter, I actually pay to be out here – pretty cheap rent, but I am paying to be here regardless.
“If you’re new here, hi I’m Kai and I live in this house truck out in the woods.
“I think a lot of people assume that I’m squatting or somehow not allowed to be out here, but actually this is privately owned land, I do pay rent to be here, I have a great relationship with my landlord and I get a whole acre of space all to myself for pretty cheap.”
Inside Kai’s unique home, you’ll find an L-shaped couch in the living room that expands into enough space for a guest bed.
Not only that, but there’s also a kitchen area with all of the amenities anyone would need – including cabinets, stove, fridge spice rack and a sink, which features a handmade faucet.
She even has a dining area, which doubles as an office space, as well as a bedroom loft space.
And in another video, the brunette beauty replied to another mean comment that accused her of ‘normalising homeless’.
To this, she asked: “How about normalising living within your means?”
The frugal woman then explained: “This person thinks I’m normalising homelessness – I mean, I don’t know about you, but this unit right here kind of looks like a house to me.”
But whilst haters have often disagreed with Kai’s way of living, her TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @the_ugly_truckling, has clearly reached the right audience.
The short video has quickly raked up 120,200 likes and many eagerly flocked to the comments to praise her tiny home on wheels.
The rise of tiny homes
By Jonathan Rolande
Property expert Jonathan Rolande told Fabulous: The reason we are seeing more creative ways of finding a home: super-high property prices and rents. Younger people are remaining in the family home later in life to avoid paying high prices and to save for a deposit. With increasingly busy lives, staying within a larger family group makes sense, chores such as gardening and housework can be shared.
Garages are rarely used for their intended purpose as cars are far more reliable and less prone to rust and so are perfectly happy outside. On the other hand, the amount of property space per person has been shrinking – converting a garage can make great sense.
Things to consider. (the boring stuff)
Usually easier than building from scratch but still a lot to do to turn a garage in to a habitable space.
You’ll need to check if you need planning (more likely to be required if the garage is detached).
Building Regulations stipulate many things to make homes safe and secure. Consider
Walls, are they cavity?
Roof height
Windows
How will you get plumbing, electrics and drainage connected
Insulation – it will be cold!
Fire safety
Damp proofing
Also consider if, by converting, you are adding or deducting value from the main home. Garages can add value in busy urban areas where parking is limited.
One person said: “That is the cutest tiny home.”
Another added: “That’s awesome.”
Love that concept! I wouldn’t mind trying it myself
TikTok user
A third commented: “Super cool.”
Whilst someone else chimed in: “If you read this, bless you. Keep leading the way. Disregard the looser commenters.”
At the same time, another user wrote: “Love that concept! I wouldn’t mind trying it myself!”

Are tiny homes legal in the UK?
TINY houses can be UK regardless of whether they are on a trailer base or not. The legality of tiny houses is all to do with where it is and what you use it for.
If you want to put your tiny house in the back garden of the home that you own, and the overall size of your tiny house does not exceed 19.8m x 6.7m (65ft x 22ft), then good news! You do not require planning permission.
Tiny houses that fit within these dimensions and are constructed on trailer bases are legally classified as caravans, which means you can legally park them within the curtilage of your home without planning permission.
If this is your plan, then it is a legal requirement that you only use the tiny house as additional living space, like an office, a gym, or a studio, but you cannot rent out the space to a tenant.
For those of you who live on farmland, what is defined as curtilage can be complicated. In these cases, and under any circumstances where you are unsure, we recommend that you speak to your local planning officer.
You can put a tiny house on your land as a temporary structure for 28 days, but for any longer than this we recommend that you speak to your local planning officer as different permissions will be required.
