Edward Rabjohn was convicted of racially/religiously aggravated intentional harassment/alarm/distress – words/writing after making a monkey gesture towards Coventry Kasey Palmer earlier this year, and as a result ‘will not be able to enter within a mile of Hillsborough Stadium or Sheffield Town Hall on matchdays or be able to travel to away games from four hours before and six hours after a game’. Today, at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court, Rabjohn pleaded guilty to racially abusing Palmer, and was...
Ugbo was a brilliant signing for Wednesday in the January transfer window, coming in to score some vital goals and put on a number of strong showings as they pulled off the great escape and managed to stay in the Championship. The 25-year-old hadn’t had the best of times at Cardiff City in his loan spell in the first half of the campaign, but quickly became a pivotal figure under Danny Röhl and was a popular player amongst the Wednesdayite fanbase. Now, with the final game of the season done -...
The long-serving Owl, who came through the club’s academy before breaking into the senior team over a decade ago, went ahead of the great Johnny Fantham in the final game of the 2023/24 season, hitting 434 outings on the day that he scored one of the goals that kept the club in the Championship. His contract is up in the summer, and he’s made no secret of the fact that he’d love to stick around beyond the current campaign – saying that he’d love to keep climbing up the list of club legends after...
That doesn’t mean, however, that the retained list that so many fans are clamouring for is imminent – nor, though, does it mean that it isn’t. Clubs in the English Football League have until the third Saturday in May to let their players know their decisions, but there’s actually not obligation to make it public. Most teams do, of course, just as Wednesday do every year, and you’d think that they’ll be doing so over the next week players up and down the country start to look for the next steps...
Supporters of Sheffield Wednesday have been praised for a classy gesture during their recent match against Sunderland, as heartwarming efforts to turn one fan’s abhorrent actions into something positive continue. The Owls officially avoided relegation on Saturday (May 4, 2024), when a 2-0 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light secured their place in the Championship for another season. But there was a silver lining for fans of the Black Cats, after Sheffield Wednesday fans dug deep and...
There was a surprise decision from Hull owner, Acun Ilicali, decided to part ways with the club’s manager, Liam Rosenior, following a campaign that saw them narrowly miss out on the play-off places, leaving the Tigers on the hunt for a new man at the helm for the 2024/25 campaign. Some reports started to do the rounds that Röhl had admirers at Hull on the back of his great escape with the Owls, however it’s unknown whether things ever went any further than them simply being impressed by the work...
The highly-rated Owls boss has been at the centre of speculation with regard to his future in the last weeks. End-of-season talks between the German coach and Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri are understood to have been positive, with meetings held either side of the completion of their survival mission at Sunderland last weekend. The Star revealed earlier this week that the signing of a new contract is a possibility, with further discussions regarding the plans of the club set to take place...
The Wales international spent time out in the early part of the campaign under Danny Röhl’s predecessor Xisco, sitting out the entirety of September as he fell out of favour. It took him a while to rise to the fore at the start of the German’s reign also as he failed to start any of Röhl’s first five matches in charge. It feels like ancient history for a midfielder whose performances in midfield came to typify a chest-out final few months of the campaign that completed a historic survival...
Sheffield United supporters have been promised that the hangover of their record-breaking defensive frailties this season will be banished before the new Championship campaign begins in August. The Blades have shipped 100 goals for the first time ever in a 38-game Premier League season and will break the unwanted record that they currently hold with Swindon Town if they concede another in their final two games. The Swindon class of 1993/94 shipped 100 goals in 42 matches and surpassing that...

Sheffield Magistrates’ Court heard how Rabjohn, who had drunk around six pints of beer before the game, was caught on broadcast cameras. After the...
