Arsene Wenger has been handed a three-match ban by UEFA relating to his conduct after the Champions League round of 16 defeat against AC Milan earlier in the month.

The Arsenal boss was fuming after the 3-0 home win, which almost wiped out a 4-0 loss from the first leg, and he has been fined 33,340 for his actions and will serve what is his third UEFA ban.

Setback: Arsene Wenger received the news as he took training on Friday

Wenger, who criticised referee Damir Skomina and UEFA at the post-match press conference, confronted the official in the Emirates Stadium tunnel and is alleged to have called him a f****** disgrace.

The Frenchman has described the ban as unjust as he announced he would be appealing the sanction.

He said: 'If I am [suspended] then it is not justified and I will appeal straight away.

'I believe that they have transformed UEFA competition referees to be untouchable icons, where you cannot even have a word.

'The only thing they understand after the game is the report.

4 crafty ideas for all those pennies you've been hoarding

Amid the public sector cuts and Old Age Security announcements in Thursdays federal budget, there was a quirkier bit of news: The penny will be phased out this year.

Folks nostalgic for the coppery coin are taking to social media to plea for a stay of execution hence the Twitter hashtag #SaveThePenny. Many of us will be unceremoniously dumping out our piggy banks and trying to spend pennies as fast as we can. And coin collectors will be trying to round out their collections.

But others may take the news as a call to pick up a glue gun and immortalize the obsolete Queen-and-maple-leaf-adorned coin in another way.

Herewith, a few ideas for budding coin artists. (Good taste not necessarily included.)

Frame a loved one in coins

This is the kind of project that has been landing in basement boxes for decades: A penny-covered frame that kids are supposed to give to their dads for Fathers Day.

Frame the coins themselves

Theres a whole genre called ombre penny art, which taps into both a crafters impulse to create and the organized persons drive to have everything in its place. Last month, blogger Kristen of My Covered Bridge wrote about her first try at lining up rows of pennies organized from shiniest to most dull and weathered.

Another site on the topic includes ideas on how to clean up pennies so more of them gleam in your ombre art: If youre more advanced, you might consider actually creating an image with all those shades of copper and grey. As Canadian broadcaster and blogger Buzz Bishop points out, a portrait of the Queen la this Abe Lincoln could be swell.

Mark and Aalin are the Island’s Sports Man and Woman of the Year

by Colin Brown

World cycling champion Mark Cavendish and Great Britain Junior Archer of the Year Aalin George were crowned as the Sportsman and Woman of the year at the Isle of Man Bank Sports Awards in the Villa Marina last night. It was a night to remember for both sports stars as Marks award came just a few days before he is due to become a father for the first time, while Aalin received her trophy on her 16th birthday.

Other awards went to Charlotte Atkinson (under 21 Sportswoman); Grant Halsall (under 21 Sportsman); Isle of Man Womens Hockey Squad (Team of the Year); Jon Whiting (Coach of the Year); Victoria Karran (Administrator of the Year); Zoe Lambie (Disability Sportsperson); Bryan Sharp (Lifetime Achievement) and Conor Cummins (Isle of Man Ambassador.)

During the evening it was announced that Mark Cavendish had donated a sum of money to Isle of Man Sport which would be used, in part, to fund three special scholarships for the next two years.

Guest of Honour for the event was former World Superbike Champion James Toseland who was accompanied to the Island by his fiance, international singing star Katie Melua. Katie joined him when he met young sports stars to tell them about his career and motivation. She had to return to the UK before the sports awards presentation in order to work on her new album.

Executive chairman of Isle of Man Sport, Geoff Karran, thanked all the sponsors for their support, in particular Isle of Man Bank, for making it such a special occasion. The two main awards were presented by the Banks senior manager Deniese Smith and managing director Bill Shimmins.
