Both the Soweto rivals have been beaten in the competition by Manchester's youthful Red Devils, but a bizarre format decreed that the two losers receive a second bite of the cherry in qualifying for what has been termed a final at Loftus on Saturday. And judging by the continuation of Pirates' haphazard form in what constituted a fourth successive defeat against Amakhosi, the finale to the series of friendly matches has only been enhanced by the absence of The Buccaneers from Saturday's game. The writing was on the wall in only the fifth minute when former Bafana and Charlton Athletic striker Shaun Bartlett scored his first goal since joining Chiefs with a typically incisive headed goal. And while Pirates huffed and puffed in what was a one-dimensional performance, which provided only one on-target scoring attempt in 90 minutes, it was Chiefs who virtually settled the issue in the 76th minute with a second headed goal by Gert Schalkwyk from 20 metres -- infinitely more spectacular than Bartlett's earlier effort. A one-side game will surely rank among the most dour and drab of these traditionally electric Soweto derbies and emphasised the increasing plight of The Buccaneers before they travel to Nigeria next week for an African Champions League clash against formidable Enyimba. Chiefs, for their part, might easily have secured a three-goal lead by the interval, with several gilt-edged chances squandered and Francis Chansa in Pirates' goal producing an early breathtaking save from David Mathebula. A stunning 64th piledriver from substitute Kaizer Motaung struck the woodwork and denied Chiefs the chance of increasing their lead. And although the arrival on the field as a substitute for Pirates of former Chiefs star Jabu Mahlangu (Pule) briefly galvanised The Buccaneers into action, Schalkwyk's header obliterated any chance of a comeback.' --------------------------------- [12] More from the Kaizer --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 21, 2006 by ed: Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on Ruud "There is a great relationship between the two clubs, and I know Van Nistelrooy wants to come to Bayern." --------------------------------- [11] Your cup of tea? --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 21, 2006 by ed: Richard Ashcroft M.E.N.

Whether or not his team are equipped to profit from such a situation is open to question with Ruud van Nistelrooy on the verge of leaving for Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, Cristiano Ronaldo continuing to agitate and with no reinforcements having arrived to date but the Manchester United manager, while not accusing José Mourinho of taking his eyes off the prize, has little doubt that Chelseas signings of the experienced Michael Ballack and Andriy Shevchenko point towards a more Europe-orientated strategy. Theyve added two very experienced players to their squad and theyre talking about signing Roberto Carlos. I think I can understand that in terms of their European challenge or the European hopes they have, Ferguson said yesterday during Uniteds pre-season tour to South Africa. The United manager cited the experience gained in the World Cup finals by Wayne Rooney and Ronaldo as important for their development and that of the team. Questions remain, though, as to whether Ronaldo will be at the club when the Premiership season starts next month, having made clear his desire to move to Real. There are questions, too, about how to replace Van Nistelrooy, who is expected to move to Real for about £13 million but is also attracting renewed interest from Bayern. Ferguson has identified Fernando Torres, the young Spain forward, as the man to replace Van Nistelrooy, but a first firm inquiry to Atlético Madrid on Wednesday resulted in the confirmation that United may have to break the British transfer record the £31 million Chelsea paid AC Milan for Shevchenko to get him. Torres, 22, is Fergusons preferred choice, but he knows that the United board cannot contemplate triggering the £41.5 million release clause in the players contract and he is being forced to consider alternatives. With Van Nistelrooy going, Ronaldo restless and the situation over the midfield no closer to resolution the long-running bid to sign Michael Carrick from Tottenham Hotspur has been put on hold while United wait to discover whether a player such as Patrick Vieira could be lured from Juventus after the Italian clubs relegation these are testing times for United.'

As the sports governing body attempted to draw a line under the Zinédine Zidane saga, it also invited allegations of incompetence by banning a player who has retired and then signing him up to work for it. A disciplinary commission in Zurich heard Zidane and Marco Materazzi, the player he assaulted in the World Cup final in Berlin on July 9, deny that the Italy defenders verbal provocation had been of a racist nature. However, Materazzi admitted making defamatory remarks and was banned for two matches and fined £2,170. Zidane, the France captain, who was sent off after the incident in the second half of extra time, was banned for three matches and fined £3,260. Having ended his playing career after the final, which Italy won 5-3 on penalties, he has agreed to do three days community work with children on one of Fifas humanitarian projects. Both players apologised for their behaviour. In issuing the verdict, there is a danger that Fifa has made a rod for its own back, with cynical players having the option of pleading the Zidane defence if found guilty of any act of violence. Materazzi, who appeared in front of a Fifa panel last week, has said that he had abused Zidane with one of those insults you hear dozens of times and that often slips out on the pitch. Zidane countered that the defender had insulted his mother and his sister, while Materazzi further reduced the debate to the level of the playground by saying that Zidanes mother had been spared. It was widely speculated that Materazzi must have said something racist to have driven Zidane to such an act, but such discussion ignored the former Real Madrid players disciplinary record, which includes 14 red cards. With Zidane refusing to state publicly what had been said, the aftermath of the World Cup final descended into a guessing game that spawned wildly contradictory explanations. Britains leading lipreader said that Materazzi had called Zidane the son of a terrorist whore, while the BBC claimed that he had wished an ugly death to the Frenchman and his family. Materazzi claimed that he was too ignorant to know what terrorist meant, while a cousin of Zidane added to the confusion by saying that the insult had been son of Harkis, a reference to the Algerians who fought on the French side in the war of independence. Last week, Zidane appeared on French TV to apologise to the children who watched the World Cup final, but he added a few ifs and buts. They were very hard words, he said. I am a man and some words are harder to hear than actions. I would rather have taken a blow to the face than hear that. With Fifas authority increasingly a matter of debate, Sepp Blatter, the president, scarcely helped matters by suggesting that Zidane could be stripped of the Golden Ball, the trophy awarded to the World Cups best player. Journalists had until midnight after the final to vote but still gave the award to Zidane. Yesterday, Andreas Herren, a Fifa spokesman, dismissed that idea out of hand. This question was not raised by the commission, he said. Fifa also dismissed the lingering suspicion that the fourth official from Spain, Luis Medina Cantalejo, had seen Zidanes head-butt only on a television monitor. The commission heard from Cantalejo and Horacio Elizondo, the Argentine referee, yesterday. I would like to reiterate that the fourth official saw the incident with his own eyes and did not see it on the monitor, Herren said. The fourth officials are trained to see off-the-ball incidents and not just concentrate on the action where the referee is involved. The regulations state they are to report any violent incident to the referee. The Italian football federation, which is dealing with the domestic match-fixing scandal at present, can appeal against Materazzis ban. If it does not, he will miss the Euro 2008 qualifying fixture against France in September, when Fifas zero tolerance on name-calling is likely to be tested to the limit. --------------------------------- [8] The Best --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 21, 2006 by ed: The Best Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news M, L (28 inches high, 22 inches wide), XL (29 inches high, 24 inches wide) and XXL sizes available Just £15 inc p&p UK, £17 ROW - product code is, simply, BEST You can order by sending a cheque to Red News, P.O.Box 176, Manchester, M16 8LG.

The Holland international is expected to leave Old Trafford in the next few days, with United believed to be holding out for £15million after Real reportedly failed with a £12million bid. Van Nistelrooy is due back for pre-season training with United on Monday, but Madrid's new coach Fabio Capello - who today signed Juventus pair Fabio Cannavaro and Emerson - insisted: "We're trying to get him signed. "Every club wants to bring in important players, but it's the players themselves who have the final word." However, Rummenigge still believes Bayern can agree a deal to take Van Nistelrooy to the Allianz Arena. Bayern are only willing to match Real's offer but Rummenigge is confident their good relationship with United could sway the deal in their favour, with one possibility being a player-plus-cash deal with England midfielder Owen Hargreaves travelling in the opposite direction. "There is a great relationship between the two clubs, and I know Van Nistelrooy wants to come to Bayern," said Rummenigge. "The chances (of him joining) are changing by the day, but we have not written him off. Roy Makaay was signed in August a few years ago." Speaking at Madrid's pre-season training camp in Austria, Capello could not hide his delight at securing the services of 32-year-old Cannavaro and Emerson, 30, from his former club Juventus for a reported £13.7million. "They are players we were going after. They're important to Real Madrid and they are great team players," said Capello. "They have experience and quality. They are competitive and their age doesn't worry me at all. "Any good footballer can continue without any problems until he's 35 years old." Asked if Gianluca Zambrotta, another Juve man, would be the next man to agree to a switch to the Bernabeu, Capello said: "He's a great player, but it looks like he has already reached an agreement with Barcelona. "But, we have Roberto Carlos and might bring in someone else, so we're not at all worried." Madrid's current transfer splurge is being bankrolled by new president Ramon Calderon, with whom Capello says he has had constructive talks about the club's future plans. "We're taking care of business," said Capello. "We had five goals, and two have been taken care of. Let's see if we can get the rest taken care of. No hurry at all." --------------------------------- [6] Norm book now for just £5.49 inc p&p! --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 21, 2006 by ed: Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news My Memories of Manchester United by Norman Whiteside (published 2003) just £5.49 INCLUDING postage and packing (rrp £14.99 - you save over £9!) through Red News.

They asked me to play and I knew there was an opportunity to get to the World Cup. But I also knew if I took that chance, I would never be able to play for Italy, which has been my dream virtually since the day I was born. I had to tell the USA the truth. I know it will be far harder trying to get in the Italian national team than the United States but I have absolutely no regrets about the option I have taken." --------------------------------- [3] Rossi don't want to go out on loan --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 21, 2006 by ed: "I would prefer to stay and play. If you have to choose between all the teams in The Premiership, the first one that pops into your head is Manchester United. I do need to get some experience in The Premiership. If that means I have to go out on loan, then I will. But if there is the chance to stay here and play, that would be the ultimate. I have had two years in the reserves and that is enough. I don't think another season at that level would be the best thing for me at all." --------------------------------- [2] Ex Reserve boss on Ole --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 21, 2006 by ed: Brondby coach Rene Meulensteen "I would be more than happy in case I could bring Solskjaer. It would be fantastic for the club. It won't happen now, but maybe later. He will try to get back on United's first team." --------------------------------- [1] Mourinho talks sale of Duff to Spurs --------------------------------- Posted Friday, July 21, 2006 by ed: ''It is not true that Duff didn't play much last season - he played two more games than the season before and was injured. I have an open relationship with Duff and we have talked about all possibilities. He's a player I'm happy to keep, not desperate to keep.

Hi Had a fantastic evening last night with Sir Alex, will give you a breakdown of the evening The dinner was a benefit dinner for one of Fergie`s best friends who lives in South Africa who has been battling with health problems in the last 2 years. There was another function last night for players with Fergie and Bobby Charlton speaking at but he left that one early to pay tribute to his friend, he attended with his wife and close friends. He spoke brilliantly with no speech cards but mainly about his early days in Scotland as a player and a manager, later on in the night there was an organized Q&A session. He was asked various questions (nothing current or about new signings, although a few shouts of TORRES were heard from the 700 strong crowd!!) He said that Giggs and Scholes were 2 of the most naturally gifted footballers he was never seen and worked with while he said although a great player Beckham was a manufactured player, due to his hours and hours of practice and dedication. He also spoke a lot about Cantona and his love for United, he said he was with him in Berlin for the WC Final and Cantona was asking him about youth and reserve team players that were coming through the ranks. After dinner he was very accommodating with autographs and pictures, I was lucky enough to get a shot with him which I have attached.

I know that he is capable of performing at a high level and it would be a great honour for him to play for Manchester United in the English Premier League. However, our government does not allow dual nationality and since Dong is an important member of the team that we are preparing for the 2008 Olympics, I don't think that he would give up his Chinese nationality in order to get a passport in Europe." var uri = 'http://impgb.tradedoubler.com/imp/img/512755/608750?' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);document.write(' http://clkuk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=19134&a=608750&g=512755 Check http://www.rednews.co.uk to view the image which has been removed from plain text email version of news '); --------------------------------- [29] Old, old story --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 20, 2006 by ed: Famous Russian goalkeeper Victor Chanov (47 years old now) says in 1986 United made an offer for him but it was rejected. http://football.sport.com.ua/news.phtml?id=16222 http://football.sport.com.ua/news.phtml?id=16222 Vadim Moscow Reds --------------------------------- [28] Bayern back in hunt for Ruud --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 20, 2006 by ed: from Sky 'Bayern Munich insist that Ruud van Nistelrooy wants to join them ahead of Real Madrid and the Dutchman's agent admits a move to Germany is still very much an option. Bayern and Real are leading the chase for the Dutch international, who is all set to leave Manchester United after five years at Old Trafford. The Spanish giants thought they had concluded a deal earlier this week, but United rebuffed that bid - which maintained Bayern's hope of sealing a swoop. Bayern Munich's chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge remains confident of luring the Dutchman to Germany "He wants to joins us," insisted Rummenigge when asked about Real's bid. Van Nistelrooy's agent Rodger Linse insisted Bayern are very much still an option for him. "Bayern are certainly a very good opportunity and we are now keen to make a quick decision, possibly in the next couple of days," Linse told Kicker.' --------------------------------- [27] Club letter to Supporters' Club Branches --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 20, 2006 by ed: Announcement regarding Ticket allocations for Official supporters clubs Season 2006/07 I am aware that a number of Supporters clubs have made contact with us over the last couple of weeks regarding the Ticketing arrangements for the coming season and I would like to take this opportunity to provide you with an update. You may have seen recently in the press that the club announced record Season Ticket sales taking the number from 42,000 to over 50,000 and in light of this the club have created a new 1 year Season Ticket plan. Clearly the number of Season Tickets we are processing has an impact on the number of tickets available on a match by match basis many supporters clubs have purchased additional books and have reduced their standing order of tickets accordingly. We have been inundated with requests from One United members and are continuing to accept applications. It is strongly recommended that Supporters clubs communicate this message to their branch members who still have the opportunity to apply for a Season ticket before the start of the season. In order for us to calculate the number of tickets we can allocate supporters clubs we request that a full list of valid One United members associated to your club is forwarded to Colin as soon as possible. This request was made some time ago but unfortunately less than 20% responded. Clearly the first game of the Season is now only 5 weeks away and we have started to take applications for the Fulham game. If you would like to submit an application then please do so in the normal manner using last seasons ticket application forms listing the number of valid One United members you are applying for. Finally, ticket arrangements for Domestic away games will continue as in previous seasons and we will be shortly be writing to those Season Ticket holders who have been upgraded into the Loyalty Pot. Further information regarding away tickets will follow this letter shortly.' --------------------------------- [27] Fergie after Tuesdays game on Ruud --------------------------------- Posted Thursday, July 20, 2006 by ed: "The situation is this: the player has said he wants to leave.
