    Manchester United fans asking former Basingstoke Town star Sergio Torres for his autograph. Maybe they think it's Fernando.

    FULL TIME: Manchester United 1-0 Crawley Town. Well, United are through, but look at that scoreline.

    90 min +3: Hunt curls a deep cross into the United area from the right. McFadzean gets his head on it, 12 yards out, but the effort is well high and wide right.

    90 min +2: CRAWLEY HIT THE BAR!!! Cook tears down the left. Smalling blocks the ball out for a throw. From the long throw, a McFadzean prod is deflected out for a corner. And from that, sent in from the left, Brodie loops a slow-motion header onto the bar from six yards with Lindegaard flapping! What a finish! The striker's shoulders fall, he knows what a chance has been spurned there.


 
FULL TIME: Manchester United 1-0 Crawley Town. Well, United are through, but look at that scoreline. Everyone's happy, sort of, to some extent at least, except Steve Evans, who is dancing up and down the touchline in the hottest of funks, pointing at his watch. Who's he picked that up from?
 
The Secret Footballer: Whatever makes good managers, it is not luck

The best managers gain the absolute trust of their players and have the respect of everybody at the football club



  • The Guardian, Saturday 19 February 2011 <li class="history">Article history The best managers, like Harry Redknapp, gain the absolute trust of their players. Photograph: Luca Bruno/AP For one man on Tuesday night it didn't matter in the slightest that San Siro was hit by a near-monsoon for Tottenham's match with Milan. Everything is going so well for Harry Redknapp right now that he must feel like he could walk on water.
    Managers are helped in their jobs by a few things that aren't for sale in any transfer window: resources, timing and luck to name but three. Redknapp ticked a couple of those boxes when he replaced Juande Ramos because he took over a big club with a talented squad that was punching well below its weight. But let's not kid ourselves that luck has played any part in what Redknapp has achieved at Spurs.
    So what makes a good manager? I've played for great managers, and I've also played for one or two where I would happily have faked my own death if it meant not working with them a minute longer. The best managers gain the absolute trust of their players, they put you on your toes whenever they set foot in the room, and have a playing philosophy that is greeted with enthusiasm and carried on to the pitch with spirit and belief. Above all, though, a manager must have the respect of everybody at the football club.
    Simple qualities are priceless. Players want a manager to be consistent and honest. Nobody wants to sit on the sidelines watching, but an explanation as to why you are not in the team, especially if you have only just been dropped, can go a long way to quelling discontent. Players will respect the manager for pulling them aside even if they don't agree with the decision. Man-management skills like this send out signals to the players; they keep everybody united and, as a result, extract the absolute best from a squad.
    When the opposite happens, unrest festers and stories start to surface about how the manager has "lost the dressing room". This does actually happen, perhaps not as regularly as some would have us believe, but there are certainly occasions when players collectively lose respect for a manager. I've experienced it. At one club I played for, it was because of a shared belief that our tactics were flawed, that this was making us look like poor players and, in turn, lose matches.
    Players are subjected to disciplinary procedures, but there is no written warning or fine system for managers. Instead players stop trying in training and in matches and lose heart. A friend of mine recently told me his team lacked any clear direction or ambition and, as a result, problems came about which had not been addressed. He said things got so bad that a group of players even began to raise the possibility that it could be a deliberate ploy by the manager to get himself sacked. After all, where else can you get a multimillion-pound pay-off for failure? It's a very dangerous idea but he certainly got me thinking about whom it could apply to.
    Managers don't have to be loved. I know a few players who despise their boss but remain extremely successful under them. Similarly, I know one or two managers who put up with a lot of nonsense from some of their players because they are extremely important to the team. It's about mutual respect. Not mutual affection.
    Some players want to be managers. But some managers still want to be players. I remember at one club being fined for going out to a pub with a couple of friends while injured. Notwithstanding the fact that this was a Tuesday evening, and therefore not in conflict with the rule that you must not be on licensed premises 48 hours before a game, the argument from my manager was that any alcohol would hamper my rehab. He fined me two weeks' wages.
    I didn't argue, but as I left his room he turned from manager to player and, with a big, fat, stupid grin on his face, asked: 'By the way, did you get hold of anything?' He was referring to whether or not I escorted a young lady home, despite the fact that he knew I had a long-term girlfriend, and, as it turns out, was more disappointed that I had no story to tell than with what he was fining me for in the first place. That day we both lost respect for each other but for very different reasons.
    I was young back then, but as you get older, and become a more senior member of the squad, things start to change. A manager may ask your opinion from time to time and, since assuming this position, I've found it a challenge to tell the manager what I really think and not just what I think.
    The first time this happened I had been playing for the manager in question for a long time. He had always been a man who had all the answers and knew what was best, a man who I looked up to as a god of the game from the way he handled the players, the fans and the media. But now he was asking me the questions and it didn't feel right.
    Part of the legend became humanised after that and I believed it would never come back. I felt it was a misjudgment by him to seek help from me, and it showed him up as a man who, at the time, was troubled. It turned out that, unlike Redknapp, he was not the Messiah. He was just a very good football manager.

Imeandikwa na Mwandishi Wetu; Tarehe: 19th February 2011 @ 23:59 Imesomwa na watu: 95; Jumla ya maoni: 0



AZAM FC leo inawania kuishusha miamba ya soka nchini Yanga na Simba na kukalia kilele cha msimamo wa Ligi Kuu Tanzania bara endapo itaifunga JKT Ruvu katika mechi ya vuta nikuvute inayotarajiwa kuchezwa kwenye Uwanja wa Uhuru Dar es Salaam.

Yanga ndio inaongoza ligi ikiwa na pointi 35 ikifuatiwa na Simba yenye pointi 34 na Azam inashika nafasi ya tatu ikiwa na pointi 32.

Ushindi wa leo kwa Azam utaifanya ifikisha pointi 35 sawa na Yanga lakini itaongoza ligi kwa kuwa na uwiano mzuri wa mabao kulinganisha na Yanga.

Kabla ya mechi ya leo, Azam inaongoza ikiwa na tofauti ya mabao 19 huku Yanga ikiwa na 18 na Simba ikiwa na 14, hivyo ushindi wowote leo utaifanya izidishe tofauti ya mabao na hivyo kupata nafasi ya kuongoza.

Mechi ya leo inatarajiwa kuwa kali na ya vuta nikuvute kutokana na timu hizo kusumbuana zinapokutana, katika mechi ya mzunguko wa kwanza zilitoka sare ya bila kufungana.

Akiizungumzia mechi hiyo, Kocha wa Azam Stewart Hall alisema anatarajia atashinda leo ili aongoze ligi.

"Tangu nimekuja nimekuwa nikitamani kuwa juu ya Yanga na Simba na nadhani leo ni muda muafaka wa mimi kufanya hivyo,"alisema.

Mechi nyingine itakayochezwa leo ni kati ya Kagera Sugar itakayoikabili Afican Lyon kwenye Uwanja wa Kaitaba Bukoba.

Kagera Sugar iko nafasi ya tano kwenye msimamo ikiwa na pointi 25 na Lyon ni ya nane ikiwa na pointi 17, timu hiyo haifanyi vizuri sana kwenye ligi hali inayodhaniwa kuwa Kagera inaweza kuibuka na ushindi kirahisi leo.

Aidha kwenye Uwanja wa CCM Kirumba, Toto Africans itaikaribisha kibonde wa ligi hiyo AFC yenye pointi 11 ikiwa mkiani. Toto iko nafasi ya saba ikiwa na pointi 17.

Kwenye Uwanja wa Jamhuri Dodoma kutakuwa na mechi kati ya Polisi ya huko na Majimaji ya Songea &#8216;Wazalizombe'.

Polisi iko nafasi moja kutoka kwenye ukanda wa kushuka daraja, iko nafasi ya 10 ikiwa na pointi 14 na Majimaji iko kwenye ukanda wa kushuka daraja ikiwa na pointi 11 katika nafasi ya 11. Endapo ikifungwa leo, itazidi kujipalia makaa isirudi kwenye ligi msimu ujao.

Msimu huu zitashuka timu mbili na kupanda nne ili kufanya ligi ya timu 14 badala ya 12 kama misimu iliyopita.
 
Wasanii wahamasishwa kusaidia waathirika wa mabomu

Imeandikwa na Oscar Job; Tarehe: 19th February 2011 @ 23:55 Imesomwa na watu: 17; Jumla ya maoni: 0





MSANII wa Maigizo nchini Sabrina Rupia maarufu kama Cathy amewataka wasanii wenzake kujitokeza na kuwasaidia watu walioathirika na mlipuko wa mabomu Gongo la Mboto kwa nia ya kuwafariji kutokana na matatizo yaliyowakumba.

Cathy anayetamba katika kipindi cha maigizo cha Simu ya Mkononi kinachoendeshwa na Kituo cha runinga cha TBC 1 alitoa wito huo wakati akikabidhi msaada wa vyakula katika kambi ya muda ya kuwalea watoto waliopotea kutokana na mabomu hayo iliyopo katika Uwanja wa Maonesho wa Sabasaba.

Alisema Watanzania wamepatwa na janga lingine lililotokana na mabomu na kwamba walioathiriwa hawakupenda kupatwa na mkasa huo hivyo jamii wakiwemo wasanii wenzake wanapaswa kujitokeza na kuwasaidia waathirika hao.

Alisema binafsi alipatwa na mshituko mkubwa alipopata taarifa za mlipuko wa mabomu hayo na kwamba msaada alioutoa ni sehemu ya mchango wake kuwasaidia wananchi ambao ni Watanzania wenzake waliopatwa na matatizo hayo.

"Sote ni wahanga wa mlipuko wa mabomu yaliyowaathiri wenzetu wa Gongo la Mboto na maeneo ya jirani, na sababu ni kwamba waliopatwa na mkasa huo ni Watanzania wenzetu, hivyo ni vyema kwa Watanzania wenzangu na wasanii kwa ujumla kujitokeza na kuwasaidia misaada mbalimbali," alisema Cathy.

Msaada wa vitu alivyovitoa ni pamoja na mchele kilo 50, unga wa ngano kilo 50, mafuta ya kupikia ndoo 2 sukari kilo 5, maziwa ya unga kilo 2.5 pamoja na majani ya chai vyote vikiwa na thamani ya Sh 500,000 .
