Magpies
confirm
Oz double date
From NUFC, Monday:
Newcastle United will travel
to Australia following the conclusion of the Premier League season
in May to take on Tottenham Hotspur and the A-League All
Stars in Melbourne.
The Magpies will kick off the
city's Global Football Week event at the world-famous Melbourne
Cricket Ground (MCG) on Wednesday, 22nd May, taking on a
Spurs side managed by one of the city's favourite sons, Ange
Postecoglou.
In an historic double-header at
the impressive Marvel Stadium in Melbourne's Docklands on Friday,
24th May, the inaugural A-League All Star Women's team will host
Arsenal Women before Eddie Howe's side face the A-League All Star
Men.
The post-season trip will mark
Newcastle United's first visit to Oceania since July 2014, when the
Magpies won the Football United Tour in New Zealand with victories
over Sydney FC and Wellington Phoenix.
Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe said: "This is a great
opportunity to showcase Newcastle United at two iconic venues in an
iconic city as the club continues to grow globally.
"We are privileged to have
so many incredible supporters around the world, and it's a chance to
be able to play in front of many in Australia who wouldn't
ordinarily get the chance to see the team.
"We look forward to
engaging with our supporters in Melbourne and giving them the
opportunity to feel closer to the club."
Ticket information will be
announced shortly.
Update: Melbourne newspaper The
Herald Sun report that the Spurs v Newcastle game will kick off
at 7.45pm local time.
Earlier:
We understand that Newcastle's selection to play in Australia followed their FA Cup quarter-final exit at Manchester City
on Saturday and Chelsea's progress to the semi-final on
Sunday; Mauricio Pochettino's side had been penciled in
as first-choice opposition for the game that acts as a homecoming for Spurs boss, Ange
Postecoglou.
PS: On the full time whistle in the A-League game, Eddie Howe's side
will have fulfilled a total of 60 fixtures over 316 days in the
2023/24 season.
Those figures in 2022/23 were 55 games in 324 days
- the span of that season elongated by the enforced break for the
World Cup.
U21s:
Kyle's clincher
mackem
U21s 2 Newcastle U21s 3
Newcastle U21s ended their recent winless PL run with
victory over their mackem counterparts at the academy
of plight on Monday afternoon.
Clad in their green change kit, the Magpies went ahead after five
minutes when Kyle Crossley took advantage of slack defending to fire
powerfully into the home net.
That lead lasted until the 38th minute when Corry Evans beat Will
Brown from distance and Caden Kelly shot against the Newcastle
crossbar two minutes later.
United regained the lead against the run of play in the 45th minute
however when Jamie Miley's left wing corner was met by a thumping
header from defender Cathal Heffernan.
The Magpies opened up a two goal lead on 64 minutes when Alfie
Harrison played in Amadou Diallo and his low centre was finished off
by wearside-born Crossley.
Midway through ten minutes of added time, the red and whites reduced
the arrears when substitute Joseph Ryder swept the ball home at the
back post.
There was no further scoring though and Ben Dawson's side collected
maximum points from their rivals for the first time in three
attempts.
PS: six current first team players were involved for the hosts in
this game, apparently....
Thanks to the real Ashington express, GW
Team: Brown, R.Powell (Parkinson 59), Charlton, C.Thompson, Heffernan,

Newcastle gave PL2 debuts to a trio of
18 year-olds: defensive duo Rory Powell and twin Harry plus
midfielder Darren Palmer. 16 year-old forward Joe Brayson also made
his bow at this level.
That quartet extended the total number of players to feature for the
club in PL2 so far this season to 38.
18 year-old defender Cathal Heffernan scored his first PL2 goal for
the Magpies - the 12th different player to net in this competition
so far this season.
Victory lifted Newcastle off the bottom of the PL2 table and they
now sit 24th of 26 sides, with games in hand on the nine sides
immediately above them.
The amended format of PL2 means that this was the only meeting
this season with our wearside foes.
This is one of two PL2 fixtures for Newcastle this
week, with a rearranged game against Boro at the
Heritage Park home of Bishop Auckland on Friday (7pm).
Premier
League:
Dates awaited
Sunday's last-gasp victory for Manchester United
means that they will be in FA Cup semi-final action over
the weekend of April 20th rather than hosting Newcastle
in the Premier League at Old Trafford.
That's one of two PL games for Eddie Howe's side that
now need rescheduling; last Saturday's visit to Selhurst
Park to face Crystal Palace postponed due to our FA Cup
progress.
NB: Palace host West Ham in the PL on or around April
20th, meaning that we're likely to be idle that
weekend.

More home discomfort
Newcastle
U18s 2 Stoke City U18s 4
Despite a 4-1 win at Nottingham Forest last weekend, Saturday saw Newcastle U18s
again struggle on home territory - Stoke becoming the fifth
successive side to leave Little Benton with maximum points.
Luke Enright headed home following a 23rd minute free kick to give
the visitors an interval lead, but Logan Watts struck two minutes
after the restart with his fourth goal in just three league games.
Parity proved to be fleeting; Enright's close-range finish six
minutes later restoring Stoke's lead.
Back came United; Watts turning provider when helping on a corner
for Matteos Ferreira to make it 2-2 on the hour. That came seconds
after Stoke's Darius Lipsiuc had rattled the crossbar with a penalty
kick that had been conceded by Magpies substitute Leo Shahar.
The scoring rotation continued after 69 minutes when City regained
their lead when Jayden Ogbebor shot past Magpies goalkeeper Adam
Harrison.
Luke Fearn's 78th minute effort then opened up a two goal lead for
the Potters, as they hit four against Newcastle for the second time
this season following their 4-1 success in Staffordshire last
October.
United's best moment after that saw substitute Josh Donaldson fire
against the crossbar in time added on, but it stayed 2-4 in favour
of the visitors.
Team: A.Harrison, Watts, Bryant (Johnson 84), Milmore, Craggs, Cogdon (H.Powell
46), Bloomer, Palmer (Shahar 46), Wooster (Sanusi 52), O'Donovan,
Ferreira (Donaldson 66). Subs n/u: none.

featuring.
Dylan Stephenson (South Shields):
A 2-0 win at Buxton for the Mariners in National League North on

Michael Ndiweni (Annan Athletic):
It finished 1-1 at Montrose in Scottish League One on Saturday, with
Michael completing 75 minutes.
Rodrigo Vilca (Vozdovac):

Georgian
on our mind
In addition to a host of
international friendly matches taking place in the coming days, 12
nations are also participating in playoffs to fill the remaining
three places available at this summer's Euro 2024 Finals.
One of those is Georgia, whose goalkeeper
Giorgi Mamardashvili has again been linked with a move to
Newcastle; The Times the latest to report this.
The 23 year-old has played in Spain for Valencia since 2021 and is
under contract until 2027 with a release clause claimed to be €100m.
In addition to ourselves, speculation regarding his future has
included links to Bayern Munich, Spurs and Chelsea in recent months.
Georgia host Luxembourg in Tbilisi on Thursday (21st), with the
winners of that enjoying home advantage against either Greece or
Kazakhstan the following Tuesday (26th) in one of three playoff
finals.

Match report
Update:
Rafa ousted
Former Newcastle boss Rafa
Benitez has been dismissed from his position as Celta Vigo head
coach after barely eight months in charge.
Guiding them to just five wins in 28 games, he leaves with Celta one
place and two points clear of the Primera Liga relegation
spots.
What proved to be Rafa's final game in charge was a 4-0 defeat at
his former club Real Madrid on Sunday, the home side introducing
ex-Magpie Joselu from the bench when they held a slim 1-0 advantage.
PS: That Bernabeu reverse was the fifth game that SJP old boy Javier
Manquillo has played since leaving Tyneside for a reunion with Rafa.

On This Day in History |
19th March |
Born Or Died:
1878 Jimmy Howie born, Galston,
Scotland.
(1903-10)
"Gentleman Jim" won three
First Division titles and one FA Cup while at Newcastle, also appearing
in three more FA Cup finals.
Signed from Bristol Rovers at a cost of £300 in May 1903, Jimmy was a vital
part of the midfield and a reliable source of goals.
The first of three full Scotland caps came his way in April 1905 against
England at Crystal Palace - with fellow Magpies Andy Aitken, Andy
McCombie and Peter McWilliam.
Leaving SJP in December 1910, he played for Huddersfield Town and subsequently
served QPR and Middlesbrough as manager.
Jimmy died in January 1963, by which time he was living in the London area and
running a tobacconists.
1896 Joe Harris born, Glasgow, Scotland.
(1925-31)
A £750 signing from Middlesbrough,
Scottish International wing half Joe made his debut away to Liverpool on
Christmas Day 1925.
Making nine appearances for Newcastle's First Division Championship-winning
side in the 1926/27 season, he established himself further in the starting XI
thereafter.
Joining York City in June 1931, he passed away in his native Glasgow just over
two years later, following a short illness.
1967 Darren Bradshaw born, Sheffield. (1989-92)
Defender/utility player signed from York City for £10,000 following a loan spell at SJP.
Bradshaw began his career as an apprentice at Sheffield Wednesday but failed to
make the grade and was released by the Owls after suffering a broken leg.
Moving on to non-league Matlock Town, a stint at Chesterfield
on loan failed to result in a deal with the Spireites, but did lead to him
joining the Minstermen.
His displays there made an impression on City boss Bobby Saxton and once
he was installed at SJP as assistant to Jim Smith, Bradshaw arrived.
Debuting in a 1-1 draw at Swindon Town in December 1989, Darren was deployed
across the back four and also as a holding midfielder.
However he failed to establish himself in the side and although
remaining a squad player for Ossie Ardiles, he featured just once under Kevin
Keegan.
In the wake of our successful campaign to avoid relegation in 1992 moved on to
Peterborough United, making a low-key return to SJP the following January as
Posh captain. However he was powerless to prevent a 3-0 win for his former
club.
1994 saw Darren join Plymouth Argyle on loan and he left London Road for good
later that year, signing for a Blackpool side who were then managed by a certain Sam Allardyce.
After three seasons at Bloomfield Road a free transfer to Rushden &
Diamonds, remaining with the club until they made their league bow in 2001 -
although an Achilles injury the previous year restricted his first team action.
A brief spell with Stevenage Borough ended with a move nearer to home as
Bradshaw signed for Worksop Town and played in the same team as a certain Chris
Waddle.
However, a ruptured Achilles tendon in a game at Stocksbridge Park Steels in
April 2003 sidelined him for almost a year.
Darren made a playing comeback but was released by the Tigers in 2004, briefly
turning out for Belper Town the following season.
1969 Warren Barton born, Stoke Newington. (1995-2002)
"Centre parting" was once the nation's most costly
defender and made three appearances for England in 1995 (although his Three
Lions debut against Ireland at Lansdowne Road was abandoned due to crowd
disturbances).
Raised as an Arsenal fan in Islington and later South Woodford, Barton began
his career as a schoolboy at Watford before being released, deemed too small to
succeed.
Barton then accepted an offer of a YTS (Youth Training Scheme) at Leyton Orient
but was shown the door halfway through his two year stay by then O's boss Frank
Clark.
A stint with non-league Leytonstone & Ilford (now Dagenham & Redbridge)
followed before a move to Maidstone United in 1989.
Scouted by Newcastle at that point (Ossie Ardiles being in command), Barton
opted instead to sign for Wimbledon - who outbid United's offer of £250K by
fifty grand.
Five years later we shelled out £4m to capture Barton from the Dons, but not
before he'd scored against us in the League Cup.
After an eventful but trophy-free stay at SJP Barton lost his place at right
back to Aaron Hughes and was allowed to leave by Bobby Robson in January 2002,
at the age of 33.
A move to Derby saw Barton made captain at Pride Park, Rob Lee making a similar
move from SJP but the pair failing to keep the Rams in the Premiership.
October 2003 saw him moving on to QPR before an unsuccessful trial with
Leicester led to him becoming a Womble again - albeit as a coach to the
reformed MK Dons.
Finally his career came full circle when he rejoined Dagenham & Redbridge,
coaching there while also running the travel agency that he established while a
Magpie.
Always conscious of his public image while a Magpie and consistently
pro-Newcastle when speaking to the media, Barton has appeared as a pundit on
Skysports and Channel 5.
2008 found him in Egypt and India as part of a joint British Council/Premier
League initiative to educate overseas coaches.
Emigrating to the USA, Barton became a youth coach for the LA Galaxy and later
an advisor to the San Diego Flash and Los Angeles Blues clubs. He also worked as a
Premier League commentator for US TV.
1973 Michael Devine born, Cobh, Ireland. (1992)
An Ireland youth international goalkeeper, Mick moved to
England as a youngster and spent four years at Middlesbrough.
Appearing as a trialist for United in a 0-2 reserve loss to Sheffield
Wednesday during April 1992, Devine wasn't retained and later joined hometown
side Cobh Ramblers after briefly playing for Northallerton Town.
Subsequently with fellow League of Ireland sides Waterford and Cork City, he continued his career at Fermoy FC and Cobh Wanderers before retiring
during 2018. | |

In amongst the excitement of
their FA Cup campaign, Newcastle recovered from being 0-2 down to
claim their first point in four league games.
That game had a 3pm kick-off and at 7pm it was the turn of the Wolves and
Newcastle junior sides to play under the Molineux lights, in the second leg of
the Northern Intermediate League Cup Final.
2-0 ahead from the first leg at SJP, United trailed 1-3 after the opening 32
minutes.
With no further scoring despite extra time though, the Final ended in a 3-3 draw
on aggregate. The trophy was shared, each club holding it for six months.

Laurie Cunningham put Albion ahead 30 seconds into the second half
when Mick Mahoney was slow off his line to reach a cross from Bryan
Robson.
Mahoney made a series of stops to keep the Baggies at bay though and
Stewart Barrowclough's fine finish ensured a point.
The scorer said afterwards, "I was going to lob the 'keeper at first
but saw him going back towards his line and just wellied it."

Paul Gascoigne struck a first half penalty wide of the target after
Darren Jackson was bundled over in the box.
And when a Perry Groves header was deemed to have crossed the line it
looked like a blank afternoon at Highbury - in stark contrast to the
previous season's 1-0 win.
However a fine second half strike from Paul Goddard levelled the scores
before Michael O'Neill missed a golden chance to win it.

After a dispiriting defeat at Old Trafford the previous Sunday,
United were two behind and in need of a lift as half time approached.
Shola Ameobi then headed in a Scott
Parker centre to give Glenn Roeder's side some hope, before Jean-Alain
Boumsong then contrived to spurn a great chance to head United level.
Any hopes of a second half revival were soon extinguished though, when
the same player blundered to concede a penalty and see red after
clumsily upending Peter Crouch.
That took our sending off tally for the
season to six, with match referee Mike Riley having waved three of those
red cards.

meant an exit by an aggregate of 3-7.
Robert Cavener gave United some hope with the opening goal, but after
Astrit Ajdarevic was dismissed for Liverpool for an assault on Andy
Carroll, Kazenga LuaLua's red card for dissent made it an ten-a-side

The
Potters recorded their biggest Premier League win as a lazy performance
from Alan Pardew's United side was suitably punished.
A baffling 3-5-2 system left Sol Campbell way out of his depth and when
Jose Enrique limped off early on, Shane Ferguson filled in. By the time
Gutierrez replaced Campbell and United went 4-4-2, they were three down.
