Sheffield United manager Brian Clough was outraged as referee Andre Marriner denied his side what looked like a clear penalty. Chris Porter gave the home side the lead before Michael Doyle was dismissed early in the second-half.
The spot-kick could have awarded the Blades a two-goal lead but instead Rodallega pulled Fulham level three minutes later. Clough said:
“I asked Ryan Flynn if there was contact for his penalty appeal and he said there was. Andre is one of the nicest guys you’ll meet but some of his decisions today frustrated us.”
The Blades manager took his League One side into half-time with a one-goal lead but saw his team reduced to ten-men in the second period, another decision that he believes changed the course of the game. He said:
“I think it did. Even with ten men we were a threat but we had to defend a bit more.

Sheffield United put Fulham to the sword this afternoon and will be disappointed to have not emerged victorious.
Chris Porter gave the Blades the lead after 30 minutes but at the beginning of the second period the Blades were reduced to 10 men as Michael Doyle lashed out. With eight minutes to go Rodallega sent the game to a replay with a clean strike.
Hugo Rodallega had an early chance to give the visitors the lead but he headed Giorgos Karagounis’ header just over the Sheffield United crossbar.
Fulham were forced into an early change as John Arne Riise makes way to be replaced by Plumain, Damien Duff moves to left-back.
As the rain picked up Jose Baxter had a good opportunity to give the Blades the lead from a free-kick in a central area but his strike caused no real danger and went the wrong side of the post.

Date: Sunday, 26 January 2014; Venue: Bramall Lane, Sheffield; Kickoff: 13:00 GMT
League One strugglers Sheffield United will be targeting another Fa Cup upset in their fourth round tie at home to Premier League club Fulham.
The Blades won away at Villa Park to set up this tie whilst Rene Meulensteen’s side needed a replay to get past Norwich and remain in the oldest knockout football competition in the world.
Nigel Clough and United can be confident about their chances as they never lost to Fulham in a League Cup or Fa Cup tie in eight previous meetings. The last time these two sides met in the Premier League – some seven years ago – the Blades recorded a 2-0 win.
Knocking Aston Villa out of this competition is the only victory earned by the Blades in the New Year so far. I witnessed their last outing, a 2-...

At New York Comic Con this year, China, Il was in attendance with its creator Brad Neely and executive producer, Daniel Weidenfeld. You can watch the video below which features their interview, or/and you can just read below for a basic gist of what went on. The official synopsis for the show is that, “Frank and Steve Smith are brothers who teach in the history department of a state university in China, Il. They also happen to be legends in their own minds who will often sacrifice facts, lessons and syllabi for the sake of being awesome. China, Il, created by Brad Neely, is a reverse Animal House where the teachers are crazy and the students just want to learn.”
What is China, Il really about?
Daniel Weidenfeld: At its core, it’s reverse Animal House, that’s where we stated from, where the teachers are crazy but the students just want to learn.

I wonder who’s done better from all the commercials – the Old Spice guy, or Old Spice? Any of you fellas rushing out to buy Old Spice products after seeing Isaiah Mustafa as “the man your woman hopes you could smell like?” I’d guess that Mustafa has fared better than Procter & Gamble (the manufacturers of Old Spice); however, Nielsen data says that sales of Old Spice body products are up 107% in the past month as a result of the commercials, which have been nominated for an Emmy award, by the way.
Regardless, Mustafa is doing well enough. We’ve already mentioned that he has a role in Tyler Perry’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.
And in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, posted late yesterday, he also revealed that he’ll guest star on NBC’s action-comedy Chuck, as well as...
