Sanction Paul Quinn Triumphantly Leaves Cardiff City

Two well matched teams in attitude and aptitude for the wrong reasons, it is necessary to remove the sanctions and the winning bid to the fourth round.

The Championship club have so little regard to the competition with the name of weak Shandy Cup, faces up to 17 series had rested here is not so much as one with both eyes at the weekend, when the two meet in again points up for grabs.

It is not surprising in such a situation, neither team was able to pass through the Orthodox, so they were sentenced to a penalty shoot-out process, has taken a sudden death when Gelson Fernandes fired, Paul Quinn made seven and seven in Cardiff.

For the record, the Welsh club has made seven changes at their first choice line-up, 10 Leicester, who must have left Matt Mills for "why me?" Until it too was withdrawn after 45 minutes.

There are two ways for fans to consider "the other cup." You can be totally ignored as a waste of money for admission, or an opportunity to evaluate the club reserve / youth resources. The South Wales public were not very interested in last night, but then have two games at home next week with a visit to Leicester on Sunday, followed by Southampton, on Wednesday. This clearly was a distant third on their list of priorities.

It 'was annoying for all concerned, then, when Stephen McPhail, since last May, it took only 29 minutes in his last return, before succumbing to a groin strain, and the other first teamers Cardiff Andrew Taylor, left, lame, when 59, a hamstring problem.

The draw had much time to rise above the banal, but the Welsh team brought to life, taking the lead on 33 minutes. Michael Ball, capped by England at fullback, Taylor Cross has been cleared to the left, but he did with a volley that went clumsy Don Cowie to score with his head bowed, Chris Weale inside top left. Cowie is typical of the end of Scotland, its small size, which makes it notable that three of the four goals he has scored this season have come with the head.

Enjoy Cardiff lasts seven minutes. And Jeffrey Schlupp, the attacker of 18 German, who scored a hat-trick against Rotherham in the first round, focused bottom left to Steve Howard to deflect the ball in via the post. Leicester then take half lead through the second half when Lloyd Dyer rifled a low shot in David Marshall left corner from 18 yards, but equality was restored after 82 minutes when Rudy Gestede volley on the turn from 18 yards he gave the most spectacular first goal for the club he joined from Metz in the summer.

The extra time would not be necessary, but with an impromptu save his leg, which kept out shot Marshall in the final minute of the Schlupp regular time. Another half hour there was no winner, then went to the lottery that is a shooting. Dyer, Howard, Abe, Danns, St. Ledger, and Pantsil, all calculated from Leicester, and Naylor, Mr. Earnshaw, Cowie, Conway, Kiss and Gestede Cardiff. Then, 6-6, Fernandes, Quinn is at what stage to play the role of the hero.

Sven-Goran Eriksson, the ways family, said: "It 'a shame to lose, but it was a good performance, playing good football and we returned on Sunday to try again."

Advantage in Cardiff, psychologically? "I do not think," said the manager, Malky Mackay. "We have 11 different guys, not against us, then, would count for nothing."
