Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua tiakina e Alex Bruce tōna pāpā a Steve mō te pāhekoheko i te rārangi pāhekoheko ki a Gus Poyet - he rēhi e taea ai e ngā kaiwhakahaere e rua te raru ki te Rōpū Whutupaoro. I te pō whakamutunga i tirotirohia e te FA te pūrongo a te kaitautoko a Mike Dean mō te tūtukitanga kino - i puta i te wā o te whakataetae 1-1 i waenganui i a Hull me Sunderland i te KC Stadium <unk>, ā, ka whakatau pea ki te whakatakoto i ngā whakapae ki te tokorua. I whakahe a Poyet ki te whakatau a Dean ki te tuhi i a Jack Rodwell mo te ruku ma te takahi i tetahi kaikawe inu. I tonoa ia e Dean ki nga tuunga i mua i te whakapae i te kanohi o Bruce me te whakahaere i tetahi korero i kii ai te rangatira o nga Tigers i muri mai 'kaore i tino pai'. Ko te kaiwhakahaere o Hull City a Steve Bruce (māui) i uru ki te rārangi rārangi me te kaiako matua o Sunderland a Gus Poyet.

'I kite ahau i te reira. I mea ahau mo te reira, no te hoatu e ia i te reira i roto i, 'ka mea ia. 'Ki te pono, i whakaaro ahau e haere ana i roto i te reira noa. Kāore i hiahiatia kia pa atu ia ki a ia engari i tino hoatu e ia ki roto ki tana ringa i a ia e haere ana ki roto. 'E kore e taea e tatou te kia rawa iho e pā ana ki te reira.
