Liam Trevaskis, Paul Couglin dig in for Durham to dent Derbyshire promotion hopes

Derbyshire unable to prise out five more wickets for victory after final-day declaration

ECB Reporters Network08-Sep-2022

Derbyshire 306v (du Plooy 82, Came 78, Dal 56, Rushworth 3-60) and 214 for 9 dec (Madsen 58, Raine 5-43, Trevaskis 3-81) drew with Durham 223 (Jones 87, Conners 4-55) and 176 for 5 (Trevaskis 42*)Durham’s Liam Trevaskis and Paul Coughlin denied promotion hopefuls Derbyshire victory in a dramatic end to the LV=Insurance County Championship match at the Incora County Ground.The sixth-wicket pair batted through the final 17 overs to steer Durham to a fighting draw after they had been set 298 in 87 overs. Trevaskis faced 57 balls for an unbeaten 42 and Coughlin was 19 not out off 53 as Durham closed on 176 for 5 from 53 overs.Mark Watt took 2 for 37 in 13 overs but Derbyshire could not force the win that would have taken them to second in Division Two.Durham paceman Ben Raine claimed two more wickets to finish with 5 for 43 in 22 overs before Derbyshire declared on 214 for 9. Derbyshire had batted on for seven overs, adding 29 runs for the loss of Anuj Dal and Nick Potts before the declaration came.With showers forecast in the afternoon, they needed to make early inroads but Michael Jones again started positively, taking three fours from the second over from Nick Potts. Jones had scored 24 out of 26 when he tried to leave a ball from Ben Aitchison and got a bottom edge into his stumps.Aitchison should have had a second when Sean Dickson on 11 edged him low to first slip where Watt spilled the chance at the second attempt. But Derbyshire had a second breakthrough in the next over when Scott Borthwick played across a low dipping full toss from Conners and lost his middle stump.At lunch, Durham required a further 237 in 67 overs but their hopes took another blow when Dal removed Dickson. The allrounder thought he had the opener caught behind earlier and when Dickson missed a big swing and lost his off stump, he gave him a loud and visible send-off.Durham’s chances now rested with Nic Maddinson who drove Watt for consecutive fours before rain stopped play for 20 minutes with the loss of five overs.When play resumed under threatening clouds, Watt broke through in the first over when Maddinson pushed forward at a ball that went on with the arm and was caught behind. Watt struck again in his next over, tempting Jonathan Bushnell into a drive which he edged low to Wayne Madsen at slip.It was now a question of whether the rain would stay away but as the players were leaving the field for bad light, a storm broke over the ground, holding up play for two hours.The umpires decided the match could resume at 4.50pm, which gave Derbyshire 17.1 overs or 103 balls to take five wickets. And there was drama immediately with Coughlin put down at second slip on 1 as he pushed forward at Watt.Trevaskis and Coughlin showed application and good judgement to frustrate Derbyshire who, with seven overs left and the light deteriorating, were unable to use their pace bowlers. With spinners on at both ends, Derbyshire had every fielder in a catching position but the pair stood firm and the home side called off the hunt with one over remaining.There was a touching finale as the players and coaching staff applauded umpire Nick Cook off the field in his last appearance at Derby before he retires at the end of the season.

"Signing of the window" – McGilligan reacts at who Leeds want in January

da marjack bet: Conor McGilligan has reacted to the news of Leeds United wanting to sign a £20 million+ player in January.

da heads bet: The Whites are back in Championship action on Sunday, as they travel to Wales to face Swansea City. Daniel Farke’s side could finish the weekend at the top of the table, depending on how results go.

Farke has already unearthed Leeds' very own James McAtee

The Leeds United head coach may not need to reignite his interest in the Manchester City man.

ByDan Emery Nov 20, 2024 Leeds United eyeing James McAtee loan deal

It has been a productive campaign for the Yorkshire side so far, but with January six weeks away, Leeds and the 49ers appear to have their eye on business they would like to conduct. It emerged this week that Leeds are interested in signing James McAtee on loan from Manchester City in the New Year.

The Whites have been linked with a move for the creative midfielder before, and a new report has revealed that the interest from Leeds remains the same. The Whites are looking to take McAtee on loan in January, as the Blues are willing to sanction a temporary departure, given his lack of game time under Pep Guardiola this season.

However, Leeds are not the only team interested in the England under-21 international, so it could be a race to win his signature when January arrives. Despite that, a YouTuber and Leeds fan has reacted to the news that the club want to sign McAtee in the New Year.

Conor McGilligan reacts to Leeds wanting to sign McAtee in January

YouTuber and Leeds supporter McGilligan took to X to react to the news of Leeds wanting to sign McAtee in January. The 22-year-old has remained with City this season after doing ever so well while on loan at Sheffield United this season.

But so far, McAtee has played just six times in all competitions, and only one of those has come in the Premier League. Therefore, speculation has led to teams looking at signing McAtee in January, with Leeds looking into a potential loan deal.

That is something that McGilligan believes would be the signing of the transfer window, as he wrote on X: “Probably be the signing of the window. But can you have him, Piroe, and Aaronson all competing at points for the 10 role?”

Leeds are a side that already has plenty of attacking options, especially in that number 10 position, but Farke may feel McAtee can offer something different to what the other players bring to the table now.

However, as stated before, there are plenty of other teams interested, Nottingham Forest being one side chasing McAtee, and a report stated that City could accept permanent offers in excess of £20 million, making a deal more difficult to do for Leeds if that is the case. As well as Forest chasing the midfielder, other Premier League teams such as Fulham, Leicester City, and Southampton are also interested in McAtee.

الإسماعيلي: نعاني من أخطاء التحكيم.. ونحتاج 7.5 ملايين دولار لغلق قضايا الفيفا

كشف مصطفى شلة، أمين صندوق نادي الإسماعيلي، تفاصيل بيان الدراويش للمطالبة بإعادة مباراة سموحة، التي أقيمت أمس الجمعة ضمن منافسات مسابقة الدوري المصري، كما تحدث عن أزمة وقف القيد.

وكانت مباراة الإسماعيلي وسموحة، انتهت بالتعادل الإيجابي بهدف لكل فريق، في الدوري المصري، وشهد اللقاء حالة طرد لأحد لاعبي الدراويش، يراه مسؤولو النادي غير صحيح وخطأ تحكيمي واضح.

وقال مصطفى شلة في تصريحات عبر قناة “دي إم سي”: “تولينا المسؤولية وكنا نعرف أن لدينا مشاكل مع فيفا حوالي 13 قضية، وتقريبًا انتهينا من 9 قضايا، وتتبقى 4 قضايا، نحاول دفع الغرامات بالأقساط لرفع إيقاف القيد”.

وتابع: “هناك قضايا بـ7.5 ملايين دولار، بسبب لاعبين أجانب تعاقد معهم المجلس السابق، نحن نبذل مجهودًا كبيرًا من أجل رفع إيقاف القيد”.

وأكد: “لم يعطينا أحد دعمًا، نحن نعمل خلال سنتين ونُسدد كل الالتزامات، وليس علينا مستحقات لأي لاعب، ونُسدد غرامات فيفا، دفعنا 35 مليون جنيه فقط لفيفا كرسوم قضايا”.

وبسؤاله ماذا عن طلب إعادة مباراة سموحة؟ أجاب: “خلال 22 دقيقة تعرضنا لأربع إنذارات، في المقابل هناك مواقف على الخصم لم يشهر فيها الحكم بطاقات صفراء، وهناك الواقعة الكبرى، كان اعتداء لاعب سموحة على لاعب الإسماعيلي، والحكم كان قريبًا من الكرة، ومع ذلك الحكم احتسب بطاقة صفراء ضد لاعب الإسماعيلي، ثم استدعاه حكم الفار واللعبة ليس بها أي خطورة ليتدخل الفار، من أجل طرد اللاعب”.

وأفاد: “أرسلنا خطابًا نطلب فيه إعادة المباراة، ورابطة الأندية تواصلت معنا وأكدت أنها حولت الشكوى لاتحاد الكرة للبت فيها”.

وأتم: “خلال الموسم الحالي حدثت أخطاء تحكيمية كارثية في مجموعة من المباريات، في مباراة الأهلي ركلتي جزاء من وحي الخيال، وفي مباراة الزمالك طرد أحد اللاعبين، وفي مباراة الجونة طرد، وفي مباراة الاتحاد السكندري هدف مُلغى، وفي مباراة بيراميدز لاعب الأخير كان يستحق طرد ولم يتم استدعاء الحكم، أنا لم اقل أن الإسماعيلي مستهدف، ولكن نُعاني من الأخطاء ونريد أن نأخذ حقنا بما يُرضي الله”.

Transfer expert "told" Leeds and 49ers already eyeing one January signing

da gbg bet: Leeds United are already planning to strengthen in one particular area in the January transfer window, according to a recruitment expert.

da premier bet: Despite a tricky couple of weeks at the beginning of the season, the Whites have turned their form around and have headed into this international break in a strong position in the Championship table.

Graham Smyth shares twist from Leeds on Barcelona's £55m Raphinha payment

There have been conflicting reports.

ByCharlie Smith Oct 10, 2024 Latest Leeds news

The international break has probably come at the right time for the Yorkshire side, as they’ve suffered a lot of injuries already in this campaign, and this break gives them time to see if any can return.

Daniel Farke has already confirmed that Daniel James could be back available for their game against Sheffield United. The winger has been on the sidelines since August, but he now looks to be closing in on a return. This is a welcome boost, as fellow winger Manor Solomon has also suffered with an injury and has subsequently missed international duty with Israel and instead stayed at Thorp Arch to continue his recovery.

Away from injuries, Leeds headed into this break under a bit of a cloud, as goalkeeper Illan Meslier made a costly mistake, which meant Leeds had to settle for a 2-2 draw away at Sunderland last week instead of a victory. That blunder has put him under the spotlight, but Farke is planning to stick with Meslier when they face the Blades next week.

However, his long-term future may be in doubt, as a recruitment expert states that the Whites and the 49ers Enterprises are looking for a replacement.

Recruitment expert says Leeds are eyeing Meslier replacement

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown has told Football Insider that Leeds United are planning on signing a new goalkeeper in the January transfer window. This comes after Meslier’s costly mistake against the Black Cats last Friday, as previously mentioned.

Brown used to work at Old Trafford, and while he is out of the game, he still remains well-connected, and he has stated that concerns over Meslier have led the club to look at signing a replacement. The former chief scout believes signing a new goalkeeper would help Leeds have a settled team and therefore find more consistency in results.

Brown said: “I’m told they’ll certainly be looking at their options. Meslier represents, to me, what Leeds United have become. I think they’re totally inconsistent.

“They’re all over the place at times, got left-backs playing centre-forward and all of this, and it leads to some really frustrating results for them. Part of that is the defence having a goalkeeper behind them who gives them confidence.

“They need somebody who comes to claim crosses and makes saves you don’t expect of them. But if, all of a sudden, he’s throwing one into his own net, it just leads to more nerves and inconsistency within the team and the back line. Leeds have been like that for four or five years now and that’s why they didn’t get promoted last season.

“That incident with Meslier – you’d never see that coming, but it happens. That’s Leeds at the moment. If it wasn’t him, it would be somebody else making a silly mistake. But that’s why they’re definitely going to be considering their options, because having that solid and consistent goalkeeper would do them a world of good.”

بين مشاكل ورحيل وإعارة.. شوبير يوضح موقف 11 لاعبًا في الأهلي والصفقة الجديدة

كشف الإعلامي أحمد شوبير، عن آخر التطورات المتعلقة بملف تعاقدات وتجديدات لاعبي الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بالنادي الأهلي خلال الفترة المقبلة.

وقال شوبير في تصريحات عبر برنامجه الإذاعي صباح اليوم الأحد: “نعم، هناك مشكلة بشأن تجديد عقد رامي ربيعة مع الأهلي بسبب الأمور المالية، ياسر إبراهيم ومحمد الشناوي كانا متجاوبين في التجديد، ولا تسمعوا لما يتردد بشأن قيمة التجديد لكل منهما، لأن ما يتردد مُبالغ فيه بشكل كبير”.

وتابع: “علي معلول عقده ينتهي بنهاية الموسم، ومن الوارد أن يشارك في المباريات المقبلة ويثبت وجوده، بالنسبة ليحيى عطية الله، فإن حظه سيئ، تعرض لإصابات كثيرة، ولم يستفد منه الأهلي كما ينبغي، وقد لا يكون له وجود في الموسم المقبل بعد انتهاء مدة إعارته”.

وأضاف شوبير: “هناك مشكلة بشأن رضا سليم، لأنه مصاب، ومعلوماتي أن عمرو السولية لديه عرض من الدوري الليبي، هذا هو موقف اللاعبين”.

واستكمل قائلًا: “الجميع يتمنى تواجد أليو ديانج مع الأهلي في كأس العالم للأندية، بينما أحمد عبد القادر لن يكون مع الفريق في المونديال بسبب الإصابة، ومحمد الضاوي كريستو اعتبروه خارج الأهلي، وسيتم عمل تسوية معه، ومصطفى العش لم يُحسم موقفه بعد، وقد يتم إعارة عدد من اللاعبين خلال الفترة المقبلة”.

واختتم حديثه: “تردد كلام عن اقتراب الأهلي من التعاقد مع المدافع الجزائري زين الدين بلعيد، والذي كان قريبًا من الانضمام للفريق في الموسم الماضي، لكن كل شيء وارد هذا الموسم”.

Kane Williamson duck, New Zealand skittled to open door for County Select XI

Tourists suffer top-order implosion, losing eight wickets in a session in final bat before first Test

ESPNcricinfo staff28-May-2022

Devon Conway was dismissed cheaply for the second time in the match•Getty Images

County Select XI 247 and 112 for 1 (Compton 56*, Ajaz 1-12) need 152 runs to beat New Zealanders 362 for 9 dec and 148 (Jamieson 36, Wagner 36, Porter 5-31)After four playing days of largely serene progress in their build-up towards the first Test, New Zealand were blindsided by the County Select XI at Chelmsford. Jamie Porter ripped out five top-order wickets to belatedly remind the England selectors of his prowess in seaming conditions, and despite recovering somewhat from a parlous position of 9 for 5, the tourists have a scrap on their hands if they are to avert defeat on day four.This second four-day friendly, after a rain-affected outing down in Hove, has allowed New Zealand to rotate their personnel with a view to getting playing time for as many of the party as possible. But Kane Williamson, the Test captain, managed a nine-ball duck in his only outing before next week’s encounter at Lord’s, while there were single-figure scores for Tom Latham, Will Young, Devon Conway (his second of the match), Tom Blundell and Colin de Grandhomme – all likely starters in the Test XI.The dismissal of de Grandhomme completed a five-for for Porter inside five overs, leaving New Zealand on 19 for 6. That anaemic scoreline had improved to 70 when the eighth wicket fell, but the County Select XI were still eyeing up a target below 200, only for some timely lower-order resistance from Neil Wagner and Kyle Jamieson to stave off complete collapse. A 63-run stand pushed the New Zealanders towards something defendable, before Worcestershire left-armer Ben Gibbon picked up both to complete an impressive outing.The New Zealanders’ second-innings 148 meant the County Select XI would need to score 264 for victory – more than they had managed collectively the first time around. But Ben Compton continued his prolific summer with an obdurate, unbeaten half-century and although Ajaz Patel removed Dom Sibley after an opening stand worth 88, the ECB’s scratch team will return needing 152 more with nine wickets in hand in the morning.There had been little to suggest that New Zealand were in for such a torrid morning examination when the unbeaten openers, Young and Latham, resumed the innings in bright sunshine, having played out a maiden from spinner Liam Patterson-White the previous evening. But Porter struck with his third, 12th, 16th and 18th balls to leave the visitors five down and not yet into double-figures.Young was the first to go, lbw for a three-ball duck playing no stroke to one nipping back in. Williamson, who joined up with the squad this week after leaving the IPL early to witness the birth of his second child in New Zealand, had spent some time in the field on Friday and now walked out in place of Conway in his customary berth at No. 3. But quickly heading in the opposite direction was his deputy, Latham, who thick-edged Gibbon’s sixth delivery to third slip.Ben Compton led the chase with an unbeaten half-century•Getty Images

Williamson has not played Test cricket since November, having experienced issues with a chronic elbow problem. Although he was fit enough to play for Sunrisers Hyderabad at the IPL, his returns were underwhelming, and he would have been hoping for a lengthy stay in the middle ahead of his comeback. Instead, Porter found extra lift from a length outside off stump to induce a startled prod to slip.With Conway, another recent arrival from India, also looking for a workout against the red ball after making 4 off 14 in the first innings, Porter struck again from round the wicket, rapping the left-hander on the pads. Two balls later, wicketkeeper Blundell propped forward to also be given out lbw – although he lingered for some time after the decision, with a strong suggestion that he had got an inside edge.At that stage Porter, who has seemingly drifted out of contention for a Test cap despite being called up to the England squad in 2018, had figures of 4 for 4 from three overs; and they improved still further when de Grandhomme defended the ball softly down into the turf, only for it bounce back and dislodge the bails.The New Zealanders finally got the scoreboard moving with the arrival of Tim Southee, who cracked five fours and a six during a 17-ball innings. He scored 34 out of the 37 added in partnership with Daryl Mitchell for the seventh wicket, before another belligerent slap down the ground off Patterson-White was intercepted by the diving Gibbon at long-on. Mitchell then became the eighth wicket to fall, providing a success for Jack Blatherwick, as his ungainly attempt to pull ended up in the hands of point.From there, Wagner and Jamieson dug in for 20 overs of respectable batting that took the innings into the afternoon session. Gibbon eventually trapped Wagner with a full delivery angled into the pads, before Jamieson’s attempt to thrash the ball into Hayes Close ended up in the hands of Porter at long-off. Wagner and Southee both then delivered ten overs, their first proper bowl before Lord’s, as the County Select XI made a good start in pursuit of victory; Sibley fell cutting at Ajaz but the spinner dropped Tom Haines off Wagner in the penultimate over to sum up New Zealand’s day.

Le Bris must drop Neil and unleash Sunderland gem in new role

Regis Le Bris could drop Dan Neil for Sunderland’s next game.

ByKelan Sarson Sep 30, 2024

Looking back after the defeat at Vicarage Road on Saturday, Le Bris said: “We are disappointed because we lost that game and we want to win every game. We had this first 25 minutes when it was difficult to deal with their offensive shape with our 4-4-2 block.

“We used another shape and it was a good layer for us because this shape of 5-4-1 was interesting and we solved the problem. We went behind and then we dominated that game. In possession we were interesting with many switched plays and good chances. Then we equalised but with this kind of team, with many strong players, they have this ability in one-v-one situations and counter-attacks as well. So at the end we made two mistakes and lost that game.”

The games keep coming for Sunderland, with back-to-back home clashes against Derby County and Leeds United prior to the next international break.

Ahead of the meeting with the Rams, the Black Cats still have some players sidelined, however, one member of the squad is available or selection again in a boost for Le Bris.

Latest Sunderland injury news

The Northern Echo relayed the latest Sunderland injury news ahead of the meeting with Derby, with Le Bris confirming that Dan Ballard and Eliezer Mayenda remain out with their respective injuries. However, Alan Browne, who had missed the last two with a knee problem he suffered against Plymouth, will be back available for selection.

“Alan Browne will be available, but Eliezer and Dan aren’t. We think that they will probably be back after the international break.”

Browne, on £15,000-a-week, made the move to the Stadium of Light over the summer after leaving Preston North End and has made four appearances in red and white so far. In fact, the Republic of Ireland international already has his first goal for the club, scoring in the 3-1 win at Portsmouth and has come in for praise from teammate Dan Neil, who labelled Browne as “unbelievable” back in August.

“Alan’s got an unbelievable engine, unbelievable legs. We knew that from when we played Preston previously. Every time we’ve come up against him, we’ve talked about the unbelievable engine he has.

“He’s a bit more of an experienced head in there as well, which helps us because me and Jobe are still young. We’ve got experience for our age, but Browney has been around for a long time.

“He’s a good leader on the pitch, and he’s got quality in possession as well. He did a few driving runs, and I thought him, Trai and Pat linked up really well on that right-hand side. I’m sure you’ll see more of that as the season goes on.”
