 Newcastle crashed out of the FA Cup in extra-time
after the intervention of VAR saw Anthony Gordon sent off and Fabian
Schar's late winner ruled out at St. James' Park on Sunday
afternoon.
Gordon will now miss the Carabao Cup Final unless his red card is
overturned on appeal and Schar's fabulous volley was ruled to be
millimetres offside thanks to the newly-adopted semi-automated technology.
Had both incidents happened in a previous round of this competition, Newcastle would be
quarter-finalists and Gordon would be
available to face Liverpool at Wembley, having missed the 2023 final
when he was cup-tied.
As it is though, Eddie Howe now faces a repeat of the scenario two years ago
when a straight red card for Nick Pope in the Premier League resulted in his
suspension for the Carabao Cup Final.
The Magpies boss also has to contend with a team looking lethargic and
uninspired for long periods of matches, something that sadly seems to be in
our collective DNA when counting down to Wembley trips.
Six changes from the side beaten at Anfield in midweek confirmed our level
of intent, but the intensity just wasn't there despite Alexander Isak's 22nd minute penalty
getting the hosts off to a decent start.
The Swede then burst through to ripple the Leazes End net again on 32
minutes, but was rightly denied by a raised offside flag and VAR
confirmation.
The visitors equalised just before half-time when former Magpie Yankuba
Minteh - who had earlier given away the penalty by fouling Tino
Livramento - hit an effort that flew in
off Kieran Trippier's boot to level the tie.
Clear chances were rare at either end after the break, substitute Joe Willock
missing a header in front of goal that
should have put United ahead.
However, it looked like Fabian Schar had taken his side into the
last eight when he volleyed in a 93rd minute free-kick until VAR ruled the top of Schar's
torso to be marginally offside, halting celebrations and ensuring
that an extra 30 minutes would be played.
By that point both sides were down to ten men with Gordon and Tariq
Lamptey shown red cards by referee Anthony Taylor.
The whistle had gone for an offside long before Gordon and Jan Paul
van Hecke tussled for the ball towards the Strawberry Corner after 83 minutes, the Dutchman throwing himself to
the ground clutching his face.
That prompted VAR to tell Taylor to show Gordon a red card for an
innocuous two-handed shove on the side of van Hecke's face.
The referee was clearly taking advice in his ear after giving the
offside against Isak and preparing for the restart.
Newcastle will inevitably appeal against the sending off but with
contact clearly made by the brainless Gordon, the decision seems likely to stand.
Albion's red followed eight
minutes later; Lamptey shown a second yellow for a foul on Jacob
Murphy that resulted in the free kick that Schar volleyed home in vain.
Both sides had made their full quota of replacements before
extra-time and with Joao Pedro limping for Albion, United looked
more likely to find a winner.
That changed when Albion substitutes Solly March and Danny Welbeck combined in the
114th minute; the 34 year-old lifting the ball over Martin Dubravka at the
Leazes End with the ailing Livramento playing him onside.
Former mackem striker Welbeck also struck the winner
in the Premier League meeting here last October but we were our own worst
enemies again, sloppy in possession and ultimately outsmarted by mediocre
opposition.
Pushed into the forward line, Dan Burn fired a fierce shot across goal that could have
taken the tie to penalties had it hit the target, but the damage was done
earlier on another calamitous afternoon.
With Isak and Trippier limping off, Livramento ailing and Lewis Hall already
sidelined, this defeat ended up as a double cup disaster for United -
crashing out of the FA Cup and left short-handed for the Carabao Cup.

Eddie Howe said after the game:
"It's a tough one for us to take. It was very bitty, a real physical
game for us.
"It had everything with the
red cards as well and extra-time. We thought we'd won it at the end.
"We had a couple of players
feeling the effects of the game. Tino (Livramento) ended up
not being able to contribute so, in some respects, we were down to
nine.
"I thought the other
substitutes did really well and gave us a bit more energy, but it
was a really tough, physical game for both teams.
"We could have done better,
of course we could.
"I’m desperately disappointed to have lost. It was a tough
contest, both teams gave everything, there were a lot of emotions.
"Stuttering is probably a good way to put it. I don’t know
whether the cup final has become a negative distraction in our
performances. I don’t sense that from around the training ground,
but certainly our level of performance, from where it was a few
weeks ago, has dropped and individuals’ levels within that have
dropped as well. So we’ve got to try and pick everyone back up and
get us back to our best levels.
"It’s not a great day…
but it could have been. If Fabby’s onside by the shortest of
distances, we’re sitting here with an amazing win and saying, ‘What
character from the players’. So you always have to put it in
context and we can’t overreact. I certainly can’t overreact —
and I won’t.”
On the red card:
"I’ve only seen it live, so it’s very difficult to form an
opinion. From what I saw on the pitch, I don’t know what Anthony’s
intention was, but I’m sure it wasn’t to harm the player or get the
red card.
"In that moment, I don’t know quite what’s happened, so I
have to review it properly before forming my opinion.
"To be honest, I wasn’t aware initially (that it would rule
Gordon out of the final). My focus was so absorbed on the game
and trying to win. If that is the case, then I’m desperately
disappointed for him and for the team.
"Knowing the player, I know there’s no malice intended there. Of
course, we’ll reserve the right to put in an appeal. If we analyse
the incident and feel there’s grounds for that, then we will do it
without hesitation.
"I don’t think you’ll allow me for it not to be a distraction, to a
degree. But I think it’s most important what we discuss internally.
We’ll review the incident first, then we’ll have a discussion with
Anthony to make sure that he’s okay.
"If Anthony is missing the game, then of course that would be a big
blow to us. But as always, when someone suffers a misfortune in that
way, it’s someone else’s opportunity. That’s what we have a squad
for, and that’s what we have very good players for.
"We have to look at it that way, and I’m sure Anthony would want us
to look at it that way. I’m sure, in his absence, he would want us
to carry on, be really strong and try to win the game."
On Alexander Isak:
"Alex just felt a bit of general tightness. I don’t
think it was an injury, it was just general tightness, but we felt
as though he had to come off."
On Tino Livramento:
"Tino was clearly
struggling, although I think it was cramp more than an injury. He
was limited, and that limited us a lot, although I thought the
players around him covered that really well.
On Kieran Trippier:
"Kieran felt his back, so we were navigating a lot of problems
through that game that we hope don’t have long-term consequences
for us because we have such a small squad.”
On Sven Botman:
"Sven was close, but he did light training (on Saturday)
and didn’t feel 100% confident in his body. So, we decided not to
risk him. We still hope that he can play a part either in our next
game or the game after.
"We’re desperate to get him back fit because he’s such a
big player, but we couldn’t take the risk with him if he wasn’t
100% fit.”
On Lewis Hall:
"It’s an ankle problem that Lewis picked up after the
Liverpool game. He didn’t really recover well. He felt pain, so he
had a scan and now he’s been to see a specialist.
"We’re awaiting further news. There’s no timescale on that
at the moment.”
Referee:
Anthony Taylor (Cheshire).
Taylor again had a hand in Newcastle's Carabao Cup Final chances, adding
Gordon's red to the one he gave Nick Pope against Liverpool before
the 2023 Final.
Although he gave the decisions, the 21st century version of
Trelford Mills was VAR official
Graham Scott.
Taylor himself is very far from
blameless however; an eccentric performance seeing some obvious
bookings missed and a succession of soft decisions made.
This was Taylor's third Newcastle game of the
season following from the 3-1 PL win at
Nottingham Forest and 3-0 PL home victory over Aston Villa.
VAR was
used at all eight
Fifth Round ties and
referees announced decisions after reviewed incidents, as was the case in
the latter stages of the Carabao Cup.
Semi-Automated Offside Technology was also in operation (except at
Championship side Preston North End) the first time this system has been used in competitive matches in
English football.
Stats:
Alexander Isak now
has 22 goals in all competitions for the season, three less than his
total in 2023/24.
Newcastle were eliminated from the FA Cup during extra time for the
first time since the 2020/21 season - a 0-2 loss at Arsenal in the
Third Round.

Defeat means that Newcastle have no game between Sunday
March 16th (Liverpool at Wembley in the Carabao Cup Final) and
Wednesday April 2nd (Brentford at home in the Premier League).
A warm weather training camp in Saudi Arabia is planned after the
Carabao Cup Final for those players who won't then be away on
international duty.
The PL home game against Ipswich Town on
Saturday April 26th - semi-final weekend - goes ahead as announced,
the Tractor Boys exiting in the Fifth Round.
And finally, our exit from the competition means that the PL visit
to Arsenal on or around Sunday May 18th will now go ahead - the FA
Cup Final takes place on Saturday May 17th, with no PL fixtures that
day.

U21s:
Comeback
complete
Wolves U18s 2 Newcastle U18s 4
Newcastle's
U18 side were in the Black Country on Saturday, facing Wolves at
their Compton Park HQ.
United came close to opening the scoring after 13 minutes, Kacey Wooster
almost catching home 'keeper George Hardy off his line with a lob from
distance.
Making his first start at this level, Newcastle's Kyle Fitzgerald then
pinged a shot off the outside of the post from just inside the area with 24
minutes played.
The home side went ahead six minutes before half time, when a snap shot from
Mateus Mane ended up in the bottom corner of Will Anderson's goal.
A smart stop from the visiting 'keeper at his near post then prevented
striker Mane from doubling the lead just before the interval.
Winless in their last nine league games, Wolves went 2-0 up five minutes
after the resumption when a corner kick fell to Mason Stevens. His initial shot
was blocked by Anderson but Ollie Stafford converted the rebound.
That two goal advantage lasted less than 10 minutes though, before Jake
Durrant's cross from the United left was headed back across goal by Kyle
Fitzgerald for Alex O'Donovan to fire home from barely a yard out.
And the lead was wiped out with 12 minutes to play, O'Donovan setting Mo
Waddani free on the left and his centre slotted home by Fitzgerald - his
first Toon goal.
Waddani then thought he'd put his side ahead for the first time in the
match, only to see it ruled out by a raised assistant's flag.
Within seconds though the ball was in the Wolves net again, Wooster rounding
the 'keeper and Bjorn Marwa getting the final touch to send it into his own
net.
That came in the 85th minute and it was 4-2 soon after; Fitzgerald's driving
run doing the damage and Wooster making no mistake with his third goal in
two games.
Team: Anderson, Bloomer, Durrant, Johnson, Epia, Cogdon, Fitzgerald,
Harper, Wooster (Yeutembip 90+2), O'Donovan, Waddani (Lucas 90+2).
Subs n/u: Holland, Ndiweni, Gilligan.
Booked: Epia
The Magpies were forced to make changes from the side that defeated
Liverpool 3-1 last weekend, Logan Watts promoted to the U21s and Sam Alabi
and Michael Mills away on international duty with England.
That also resulted in a very youthful bench, with a debut at
this level for 15 year-old defender Lesecond Yeutembip, fresh from making
his England U15 bow.

Graham Potter's side are bidding for a third consecutive PL win following a 1-0
victory at Arsenal and 2-0 home success against Leicester City.
An FA Cup exit to Aston Villa meant that they have a 11 day gap between
games before hosting Newcastle.
On home territory this season, the Hammers have lost seven, won five and
drawn two. They have recorded just two clean sheets during those
games.

Alexander Isak is one strike away from becoming the first Magpie to hit
20 PL goals in successive seasons.
He's netted five times against West Ham for Newcastle in the PL so far, a
total exceeded by the half dozen he's hit against both Spurs and Nottingham
Forest.
The next three point return for
Newcastle on the road will be their 150th PL away win.

On This Day in History |
|
3rd March |
|
Born Or Died:
1886 James Edmundson Raine born, Newcastle (1903,1904-06).
Right-sided forward who was on amateur forms at SJP, having played
football while studying at both Harrogate and Sheffield.
Briefly with Newcastle in 1903, a longer association with the club came the
following year, after having played one senior game in the colours of
Sheffield United.
Debuting in place of Jackie Rutherford in a 1-0 loss at Middlesbrough in
March 1906, the player known as Joe featured in three more games that season
- netting his only goal in the last of those, a 3-0 home victory over
Blackburn Rovers.
Later appearing in the Football League for Sunderland and Glossop North
End, Raine also played for Bohemians (Newcastle), Reading, Stalybridge
Rovers and South Shields.
Playing cricket for Benwell and Northumberland county and also rugby for
Percy Park, he won international honours with the England amateur football
team.
Living in Jesmond after ending his playing days and managed the Raine family
steelworks on the banks of the Tyne, Jimmy rose to the rank of Major in the
Durham Light Infantry during WW1.
His unexpected death came while visiting the Swiss ski resort of Davos in September 1928.
An obituary published in The Journal referred to him as a "brave
soldier, sportsman and good employer."
1903
Duncan Hutchison
born, Kelty,
Scotland. (1929-32)
"Hurricane
Hutch" is
more revered by the
supporters of Dundee
United than
Newcastle, thanks to an
association with the
Tannadice club that
spanned some six
decades.
Signed from
Dunfermline in 1927,
his sale to The
Magpies two years
later for £4,050
led to protests and
match boycotts among
Dundee United fans.
Hutch partially
reproduced the
goalscoring form
that had brought him
to Tyneside, but
within a year of his
arrival had seen
fellow Scotsman
Hughie Gallacher
leave United - and
he proved to be a
tough act to
follow.
After spells at
Derby County and
Hull City, Hutchison
re-signed for Dundee
United in 1935 and
played on until
1939, running
"The United
Bar" in the
city upon his
retirement.
Appointed to the
Board at Tannadice
in 1953, he remained
in post until his
death in 1973 -
serving for a time
as their Chairman.
1933
Stewart Mitchell
born, Glasgow,
Scotland.
(1953-63)
Goalkeeper
signed from the
Govan-based Benburb
club who acted
as understudy at
various times to
Ronnie Simpson,
Bryan Harvey and
Dave Hollins.
His debut saw United
draw 3-3 at Preston
and he also conceded
four goals in each
of his next three
outings.
Mitchell returned to
Scotland with Third
Lanark as part of
the Dave Hilley
deal.
However, his transfer
didn't go through
until some eight
months after Hilley's arrival,
with Stewart
eventually moving to
Cathkin Park in lieu
of the proceeds of a
promised friendly
match against United
that was never
played.
Forced to quit the
game in 1965 due to
injury, Mitchell was
present at Ibrox to see
United's 0-0 draw in
the Fairs Cup four
years later.
Living in the
town of Hamilton
following his
playing retirement,
Stewart worked in
the financial
services sector. He
passed away in
January 2023.
 1990
Emmanuel Riviere, born, Le Lamentin, Martinique (2014-17)
 United's
fifth close season signing of summer 2014 saw this alleged striker arrive from AS Monaco for an undisclosed fee.
Riviere had left his home on the Caribbean island of Martinique - an overseas
territory of France - to join St.Etienne during 2005.
A senior debut came in April 2009 and his first selection for France at U21
level the following year saw him line up with future SJP colleague Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
Making a £4.7m switch to Toulouse in July 2011, he played with Moussa Sissoko
there and was an U21 colleague of both
Massadio Haidara and Remy Cabella.
A mid-season move to Monaco (then in the second tier of French football) in
January 2013 cost of £3m and he scored four times to help
them win the title and promotion.
Emmanuel then netted thirteen times in the 2013/14 season (ten in Ligue 1)
including a hat trick against Montpellier as Monaco finished runners up to PSG.
Joining United on their pre-season tour of New Zealand, he made a scoring bow
in a 4-0 win over Sydney United in
Dunedin.
Riviere struggled in his first season, scoring just twice in
30 outings - in the League Cup at Crystal Palace and at QPR in the Premier
League, the latter something of a fluke.
Injury then sidelined him until January 2016, with a trio of unproductive
outings under Steve McClaren and three unused substitute selections by the
incoming Rafa Benitez.
Shipped off to Spaniards Real Osasuna on a season-long loan during August
2016, Riviere failed to find the net in 17 appearances as they were
relegated.
The misfit was permanently jettisoned a year later though, securing his
release from United before signing for French side Metz.
Rather improbably he marked his debut with a goal against Paris St. Germain -
before reality intervened and he missed an open goal. PSG ultimately won the
game 5-1.
Released at the end of the 2018/19 season, the free agent secured a deal with
Italian Serie B side Cosenza where he was joined by our season-long loanee,
Achraf Lazaar.
Riviere left Cosenza and joined Serie A side Crotone in
September 2020, signing a two-year contract. However, this was
terminated by the club in October 2021 for what they deemed
"serious
misconduct" after failing to return to the club.

James Raine debuted at
outside right on his 20th
birthday, while Boro won
despite losing goalkeeper Tim Williamson on the morning of the game due to
sickness.
His place was taken by Andrew Davidson, more usually fielded as an outfield
defender.

Neil Harris hit a second half
hat-trick to give United their
biggest win of the season.
1923
The home international
match between Ireland and
Scotland at Belfast's Windsor
Park ended in a 1-0 victory
for the visitors.
No current Magpies
featured, but the hosts were
led by 40 year-old Bill
McCracken less than a month
after leaving SJP to become
manager of Hull City.
1928 There was a memorable
reserve bow for centre forward
John Hailes, who scored six
times in a 9-2 defeat of
Hartlepools United in the
North Eastern League.
The 20 year-old native of
Hetton netted five of his six
goals in the opening 45
minutes at Gallowgate.

Newcastle's Jimmy Murray was
absent following the death
of his mother; Jimmy Bell
replacing him but never
playing again for the club
due to an ankle problem.

Holden(41,83)
61,474
A tie that attracted
massive interest was settled
by Bill Holden's brace for the visitors
to eliminate the Cup
holders.
Both teams donned their away
strips and a new gate receipt record for SJP was recorded - the
princely sum of £9,600.
This was the most recent
FA Cup meeting between the
sides until 2024.

The doomsday scenario of a second
successive demotion remained for Newcastle, this defeat leaving them
just four points off the bottom two relegation places in the second
tier.
Former Magpie Bob Stokoe enjoyed his first return to Gallowgate
with a Shakers side that he
captained and managed.
 1976
Stoke City (h)
0-1 (0-1)
Division One
P30, 29pts, 15th/22
og(Burns)(37)
38,822
Five days after their
League Cup Final loss at
Wembley to Manchester City,
Newcastle returned to league
action.
Micky Burns handed both
points to the Potters on a
plate when he directed a
harmless-looking back pass
beyond Mick Mahoney.
Mahoney's opposite number
Peter Shilton then performed
heroics to keep a clean
sheet - including two stops
to deny young substitute
Rocky Hudson a first senior
goal.
1976
United announced the double
signing of Graham Oates and
Roger Jones from Gordon Lee's
former club Blackburn Rovers.

14,998
In
their first fixture since the
1-4 home derby loss,
United repaid the faith of
those fans who returned to the
scene of the crime, although
the crowd was almost 20,000
less than the mackem game.
Those who were tempted back
saw Mick Martin net his
first goal for the club, his
shot deflecting off the foot
of the Addicks goalkeeper
and trickling into the
Leazes net.

Fulham boss Malcolm
Macdonald gave a nervous wave
to visiting supporters on the open Putney End - clearly unsure
of whether
he was being cheered or jeered
by his former fans.
United wore the
legendary shiny skin-tight
silver kit on a day when the
Craven Cottage pitch had more sand on it than Druridge Bay.

United's goal glut
continued, as Jim Smith's side
made it 19 in six
home league and FA Cup games.
John Anderson began where he'd
left off in midweek against
Bournemouth with another
strike,
while Roy Aitken netted for
the only time in his Newcastle
career.

David Unsworth
netted at both ends, putting
United ahead when Toffees
goalkeeper Paul Gerrard pushed
out Alan Shearer's cross and
the ball rebounded off the
Everton player's boot.
The defender atoned by
converting a penalty kick harshly awarded by
referee David Elleray against Steve
Caldwell, after Kevin Campbell
threw himself to the floor
amid hopeful shouts from home fans
at the Gwladys Street End.

Hagen(25)
38,531
After a 1-1 draw in Oslo, this was a relatively comfortable passage into the
last 16 of the competition,
although Erik Hagen's equaliser initially caused some consternation.
Shola Ameobi's first goal was scored with his first touches after appearing as
a half time replacement for the hamstrung Craig Bellamy.
And the night was memorable for Martin Brittain, Bobby Robson giving the
reserve midfielder a senior debut when substituting him for the underwhelming
Michael Bridges.

2005 Newcastle's Reserves lost their 100% record at Morecambe's Christie Park as they drew 1-1 with Blackburn's second string.
Charles N'Zogbia shot United ahead only for Jerome Watt to bring
Rovers back level when he squeezed the ball past the bulky frame of
Tony Caig in the Toon goal.

For United it was a case
of two points lost, as they squandered the best chances in what was a game of few
chances.
At the other end Shay Given had one of his
quietest days with the visitors offering little or no attacking threat.
However, Obafemi Martins and Kieron Dyer couldn't make the vital breakthrough,
while Glenn Roeder delayed bringing Antoine Sibierski off the bench until near
the end.
On-loan Oguchi Onyewu partnered Titus Bramble in central defence, with an
unusual full back pairing of Nobby Solano on the right and Steven Taylor
filling in on the other side.

2008 An own goal and two late efforts from Andy
Carroll saw off Everton's Reserves at SJP, as Adam Sadler's second string ended a
three-match winless run in some style.
NUFC.com match
report
2012 United confirmed that both Tim Krul and Fabricio
Coloccini had signed contract extensions, keeping them at SJP until the summer
of 2017 and 2016 respectively.
2012 What proved to be the only senior competitive appearance in English
football for reserve winger Samuel Adjei came whilst loaned to League One
Hartlepool United.
Introduced as a second half substitute in a 1-1 home draw with MK Dons, the
Swedish winger sustained an injury that forced his hasty return to Tyneside.
2014 Newcastle Reserves made it five league and cup losses in
succession, beaten 1-2 by basement side Blackburn Rovers
at Ewood Park. Rolando Aarons netted.

Despite
arriving at Anfield on a four match unbeaten run, what followed
for Rafa Benitez's side was sadly predictable.
Magpies Captain Jamaal Lascelles ended up on the field at full time having got
away with two loud penalty shouts and what seemed a certain red card late on, when he
barged over Mo Salah on
the edge of the box.

Miggy Almiron's first half double helped his side into the FA Cup
Quarter Finals as United
saw off
the Championship leaders.
But once again they made heavy weather of what should have been a
comfortable cup victory after going three up through Valentino Lazaro just after
half-time.
Two late goals and a last gasp penalty shout had Steve Bruce and 5,000 travelling fans' hearts in their mouths.
NUFC.com match report
2021 The Mail newspaper reported that:
"Steve Bruce and Matt Ritchie were involved in a sensational
training ground showdown in which the Newcastle boss physically
confronted the winger and barged into him after being called a 'coward'
by the player."
The incident came 72 hours after a 1-1 home draw with Wolves, when Bruce
had blamed Ritchie for not passing on instructions after arriving
from the bench - resulting
in Wolves
scoring.
Various media claims of tensions at the training ground emerged at the time,
notably the reaction of Karl Darlow to discovering via the press that he'd
lost his place in the side.
