Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapae a Mark Hughes ki a Steve Bruce mo te ngana ki te "tiaki i te mea kaore e taea te tiaki" mo te mahi a Maynor Figueroa ki a Stephen Ireland i waiho ai te kaitakawaenga o Stoke City me te whara hohonu i tana kuao. I whakautu te kaiwhakahaere o Hull City ki te riri o Hughes mo te kaupapa ma te tohe kia tukuna a Ireland i muri i te "he wero kino rawa atu i runga i te papa" ki a David Meyler i te Britannia Stadium. He whakaahua o te waewae toto o Ireland i whakaatuhia i muri i te tukinga engari i kii a Bruce: "Ka taea e au te whakaatu ki a koe i te whakaahua o te waewae o Figueroa, e rima nga tuitui i roto i a ia ka haere tonu". Ko Ireland (matau) i whara nui i tōna waewae i muri i te wero mai i a Maynor Figueroa o Hull. Kāore te kaiwāhi a Neil Swarbrick i tuku i tētahi whiu kore mō te wero i mahue ai a Ireland ki tētahi wharanga i tōna waewae. Na te wero i waiho ai he whara ki te waewae o Ireland i kii te rangatira o Stoke a Mark Hughes me 12 ki te 15 nga tuitui. Kua riri tēnei ki a Hughes, tōna hoa kapa o mua o Manchester United. "Kua taka a Steve ki te rore o te ngana ki te tiaki i te mea e kore e taea te tiaki", te kī a Hughes. Kua kite te katoa i ngā wero e rua, ā, kāore au i te whakaaro he whakataurite noa iho. <unk>Kei reira te hua hei kite mā te katoa, nō reira kāore au i te whakaaro kua nui te whakawhetai a Steve ki a ia anō mō tana kitenga. <unk>He mea ngāwari noa iho te tiaki i ngā mea - ā, ka mahia hoki e au - engari i tēnei wā ehara i te mea ka whakatārewatia te tamaiti. Na he aha i kore ai a Steve e mea noa, "He tukinga kino rawa atu" 'Kei te ngana mātou ki te neke atu engari kāore a Steve i hiahia ki te mahi i tērā. Kāore i tika kia kīia e ia. He hē te tiaki i tērā.<unk> Kua whakapae te kaiwhakahaere o Stoke a Mark Hughes ki tana hoa o Hull City a Steve Bruce e ngana ana ki te 'tiaki i te mea e kore e taea te tiaki' I patai te kaiwhakahaere o Hull a Bruce he aha a Stephen Ireland i runga i te papa i muri i tana wero ki a David Meyler. I tāpiri atu a Hughes: <unk>Kei te āhua nei kāore a Stephen i te wātea mō ngā wiki e rua ki te toru. Ko te nuinga o te iwi kua kite i te pikitia, ā, he tuitui ā-roto, ā-waho anō hoki, nō reira he roa ake te wā i te rākau noa iho. E pouri ana ahau i a ia e tino pai ana te mahi,...
