With the local football season winding down, I'm reminded of this wonderful moment captured by Razan Alzayani at a recent game between Al Wahda and Al Shabab. Good fans can be as entertaining as the game itself sometimes and Razan captured a series of great fan pictures on the day. In this particular frame, I love the contrast between the two men - with one happily banging a drum while the other tunes everything out to focus on tying a knot.

'Worse than a prison sentence'
Marie Byrne, a counsellor who volunteers at the UAE government's mental health crisis helpline, said the ordeal the crew had been through would take time to overcome.
“It was worse than a prison sentence, where at least someone can deal with a set amount of time incarcerated," she said.
“They were living in perpetual mystery as to how their futures would pan out, and what that would be.
“Because of coronavirus, the world is very different now to the one they left, that will also have an impact.
“It will not fully register until they are on dry land. Some have not seen their young children grow up while others will have to rebuild relationships.
“It will be a challenge mentally, and to find other work to support their families as they have been out of circulation for so long. Hopefully they will get the care they need when they get home.”
