Turkish football writer Bora Isyar tells us about the resumption of the Turkish S\\xfcper Lig and the reaction of Besiktas fans, who threw toys onto the pitch in protest against the government\\u2019s handling of the earthquakes\\u2019 aftermath.

After the racist abuse of David Alaba for not voting for Karim Benzema in FIFA\\u2019s awards, and Pepe\\u2019s refusal to vote for Lionel Messi, we ask if players should have a say in awards. And we discuss the return to football of Jurgen Klinsmann.
