Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Tērā pea i ora ake a Shane Long i te pakaru o ōna whekau i ngā wā tata nei, engari he pai tonu ōna aho. I whakaatahia te tangata Īrihi e waiata ana ki ōna hoa kapa o Southampton me te whakatangi pai o te waiata a Bob Marley 'No woman, no cry'. Ko te hoa kapa a Long a Ryan Bertrand i tuku i tetahi riipene ataata o te kaitakaro whara o te hunga tapu i runga i tana kaute Instagram e whakaatu ana i tana reo whakamiharo. I whakaatu a Shane Long i tōna reo me tōna pūkenga kitara i mua i ōna hoa kapa o Southampton i te Rāhoroi. I tukuna e Ryan Bertrand (matau) he riipene ataata o te mahinga a Long i runga i tana kaute Instagram. I whatiia e Long (matau) ngā kōpiro i te wā o te FA Cup i te whiringa toa tuawhā ki a Crystal Palace i te marama o Hanuere. Kua roa ia i waho o te mahi mai i te mutunga o Hanuere i te wa i peia ai ia i te haurua tuarua o te putanga o te FA Cup tuawha o Southampton ki Crystal Palace. Ko te Republic of Ireland forward i tukituki ki te kaitautoko o te Palace a Joel Ward i te hinganga 3-2 i puta ai te whara. Ko te kaitakaro o mua o Cork City me ona hoa kapa o Southampton kei Switzerland i tenei wa mo te okiokinga o te kapa i waenganui o te waa. Kua heke te tere o te kapa a Ronald Koeman i roto i te whakataetae mo te wha o runga i nga wa tata nei, a, kua kite to ratou rangatira o te Dutch i te mea tika ki te whakarite i te haerenga takaro-kore e toru-ra ki nga Swiss Alps. I tweet a Long mai i tana moenga o te hohipera e whakamatau ana i nga kaiwhaiwhai kei te haere ia ki te whakaora i muri i te whara. Ko te kapa o Southampton e whakaahua ana mo te kaiwhakahaere Ronald Koeman (kua hoki mai, kei waenganui) i Davos, Switzerland. I te mutunga o te wiki i muri i te tukinga mai i te FA Cup me te paheke ki nga tohu e wha i muri i te tuawha o Manchester United, ko nga kaitakaro o Southampton e 11 nga ra e waatea ana i mua i te haerenga o te Rāhoroi ki nga rangatira o Chelsea. E tūmanako ana te rangatira o te kapa o Aotearoa ka taea e tana kapa te arotahi me te whakaora i te pūngao i mua i te pana whakamutunga i roto i a rātau kēmu riiki 10 whakamutunga o te tau. 'He whakatutukitanga nui tātau i tutuki i tēnei wā,' i kī ia. 'Kei te tekau tonu ngā kēmu, ā, e mōhio ana mātou ka whawhai mātou tae noa ki te hēkona whakamutunga kia mau tonu ai te tūnga teitei rawa o te tēpu.' Ko Hemi...
Kua ora ake a Shane Long i muri i te whati o ona kōpae. I whara a Long i te wharanga o te FA Cup tuawha a Southampton ki a Crystal Palace i te marama o Hanuere. I tēnei wā kei te okioki a Southampton i waenganui o te tau i Switzerland.
