Staveley update
Updates from Companies House involving subsidiary companies related
to Newcastle United caused a stir on Wednesday morning, specifically
the resignation of Amanda Staveley from a number of directorships.
However, these updates were explained as administrative rather than
strategic, with her position as a director of Newcastle United
Football Company Limited unchanged - that company established back
in 1890.
Club CEO Darren Eales is now also a director of that company, which
is in keeping with previous holders of that post including David
Stonehouse etc.
2023/24:
Last gasp victory
is Taylor made!
Newcastle U18s 4 Liverpool U18s 3
 There
was a memorable night for Newcastle U18s under the Whitley Park
floodlights on Tuesday, coming from behind to defeat Liverpool
despite being a man short.
The opening 45 minutes gave little indication of what was to follow,
Liverpool going ahead in the 16th minute when Afolami Onanuga's
unstoppable shot from outside the box crashed home off the left hand post.
Little had been seen of United as an attacking force before the
interval, home 'keeper Aidan Harris denying Keiran Morrison after 28 minutes to keep it
at 0-1.
United got the second period off to a great start when a corner from the
right dropped for Josh Donaldson, who forced the ball home.
Donaldson then put his side ahead on 59 minutes after good work from
Matheos Ferreira, the Magpies striker
finding the bottom right hand corner from 18 yards.
That
lead only lasted for three minutes though; Trent Kone-Doherty
converting a penalty following a shove on Josh Sonni-Lambie by Harry
Powell in the box.
With the game at 2-2, the young Magpies were reduced to ten men in the
71st minute when Logan Watts saw red for a full-blooded, studs-up tackle on Onanuga.
The Reds
then regained the lead three minutes later with the hosts down to
nine men - Paul Brayson off the pitch injured - visiting substitute Ollie O'Connor
heading in Joe Bradshaw's cross from the right.
Incredibly
though it was all square again on 77 minutes; Liverpool's Tyler Martin
heading into his own net after a centre from the right was swung into the box.
Another
injury saw United's Darren Palmer replaced by Matty Taylor as the
ten men continued to press forward - Ferreira bringing a noteworthy
stop out of Kornel Misciur with three minutes of normal time left.
Five minutes of added time were in the process of being announced
when another powerful surge from Donaldson gave Taylor the chance to
shoot.
And the 16 year-old cleverly converted a low effort for his first
goal at this level, incredibly making it 4-3 to United.
Some heroic blocking and defending from the ten men then kept
Liverpool at bay, a gutsy second half display bringing just reward
when Harris brilliantly tipped over a dipping shot.
The final whistle then sounded with six additional minutes played -
an epic effort from the black and whites, ending a run of five
successive home losses that had stretched back to January.
Victory also saw United complete a league double over the Reds following a 2-1
win on Merseyside in October when Sean Neave
and Tom Bryant were on target.
Team: Harris, Watts, Bryant, Johnson, H.Powell, Palmer (Taylor 81), Bloomer, Ferreira (Durrant 38), Donaldson,
O'Donovan, Brayson (Wooster 75).
Subs n/u: Ad.Harrison, Old.

2023/24:
Crystal Palace (a)
The Magpies are back in action on
Wednesday, with a rescheduled Premier League
meeting against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
It's a non-televised, 8pm start.
Team:
Joe Willock will reportedly
play no further part in the remaining games this season, as he
continues to struggle with an achilles problem.
Callum Wilson has now returned to full training and is set for a place on the
bench. He's netted two of our last three goals away to Palace in the
PL.
Nick Pope, Miggy Almiron, Matt Targett,
Joelinton, Lewis Miley and Kieran
Trippier remain out - it's unclear
whether any of them will be back for this game.
Sandro Tonali remains unavailable due to suspension, while
Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are both long-term absentees with
ACL injuries.
The threat of suspension has finally been lifted from Bruno
Guimaraes
after the 32 game mark.
CPFC:
Sam Johnstone, Cheick Doucoure, Marc Guehi and Rob Holding are all
currently sidelined.
Ahead of our visit, the Eagles are at home to West Ham on Sunday.

Tom
Bramall - a third Newcastle game of the season for the
Manchester-based whistler and his first away from SJP, following the
2-0 win over Burnley and 4-4 draw with Luton Town.
VAR: Chris Kavanagh
Stats:
With four away games still to play, Newcastle's tally of 26 PL
goals on the road is the seventh highest they've achieved in 29
seasons of playing in that competition:
2001/02 scored 34 (19 away
games)
2022/23 scored 32 (19 away games)
1993/94 scored 31 (21 away games)
1995/96 scored 28 (19 away games)
2002/03 scored 27 (19 away games)
2011/12 scored 27 (19 away games)
2023/24 scored 26 (15 away games)
Since Christian Benteke beat Karl
Darlow at Selhurst Park in October 2021, Palace have failed to score
a goal against United in all five league and meetings - a run of 484
minutes without conceding.

Isak burglary
-
arrests made
From the BBC, Monday:
Four people have been charged in connection with a series of
high-value burglaries which included the home of a Premier League
footballer.
The home of Newcastle United
striker Alexander Isak in Darras Hall, Northumberland, was broken
into and his car stolen earlier this month.
Cash, thousands of pounds of
designer clothes, and jewellery worth £1m was also taken from other
homes in Sunderland and Newcastle.
Det Insp Shaun Fordy, from the
North East Regional Organised Crime Unit (NEROCU), said "these
types of crimes will not be tolerated".
Isak's home was broken into on 4
April but his car was later found abandoned three-miles away in
Dissington, police said.
Cash, expensive clothes and
jewellery worth £1m were taken from a house on Clayton Road in
Jesmond in March.
Jewellery worth £100,000,
designer clothes and money were also taken from a house on Woodlands
Grove in Sunderland.
Some of the property was later
recovered by officers, NEROCU said.
Four Croatian nationals, aged
23, 27, 31, and 42, who had recently travelled to the UK from Italy,
were arrested on Friday in the West Midlands.
They have been charged with
burglary and are due to appear at Bedlington Magistrates' Court
later.
Det Insp Fordy said the arrests
had been made by NEROCU working in partnership with Northumbria
Police.
“This operation demonstrates
that these types of crimes will not be tolerated in our region, and
the incredible lengths we will go to protect our communities,"
he said.

Ed's play centres on Bella's starring role for Blyth
Spartans Ladies in the 1918 Munitionettes Cup final, played before

Park.
U21s:
Senior Cup date set
A new date for the Northumberland Senior Cup
semi-final between Ashington and Newcastle U21s has been agreed
after the original slot fell victim to the weather.
The Colliers will host the Magpies at Woodhorn Lane on Thursday May 2nd at 7.30pm.
There's no provision for extra time or a replay; if the scores are
level after 90 minutes then the tie will be settled on penalties.
Advance purchase tickets are valid for the new date. Anyone unable
to make the rescheduled tie can apply for a refund via [email protected]
At stake is a trip to SJP in the final, against either Blyth Town or
Newcastle Benfield. Their semi-final meeting is scheduled for
Wednesday April 24th.

Update:
Country
call for Kuol
Newcastle's Garang Kuol is
currently away on international duty with Australia, with the
Olyroos playing at the U23 Asian Cup staged in Qatar.
Australia are in Group D at the 16 team event
and opened with a 0-0 draw in Doha on Monday. Kuol began on the
bench and was introduced as a 69th minute substitute.
Next up is a meeting with Indonesia on Thursday, followed by a game
against the hosts on Sunday - both played in Doha.
Kuol - joined by elder brother Alou in the squad - was selected after helping Australia reach the final of the WAFF (West
Asian Football Federation) Championships in Saudi Arabia last month.
The top three sides in the competition will earn a place in the
Olympic Football tournament in Paris between July 24th and August
9th. The side that finishes fourth enters a qualification playoff.
Update:
Join Hall.....
Speaking to Chronicle scribe Lee Ryder following the 4-0 home win
over Spurs, Lewis Hall confirmed that the terms switching his
loan move from Chelsea to a permanent transfer had been
met:
"I am here now as a
Newcastle player and I really enjoy it. The future looks really good
for the club with so many young and talented players. It is going in
the right direction."
"I played a lot of my early
senior appearances at left-back or wing-back. But I like to be
versatile and play in other positions if required.
"I used to be a midfielder
when I was younger but wherever the gaffer wants me to play I will
play."
The 19 year-old made his twelfth Premier League appearance as a
Magpie on the day that victory for Newcastle confirmed they'd finish
14th or higher.
The second stipulation that Hall to be named in 30 or more first
team squads was also met, meaning that a £28m switch from Stamford
Bridge is now locked in.

Update:
Sports Direct v NUFC
- tribunal decision
Update:
Friday saw the Competition Appeal Tribunal rule that the Sports
Direct claim against Newcastle United was insufficient to merit the
granting of an injunction against the club.
The case will proceed to trial unless an alternative solution can be
reached, with no delay to the June home kit launch permissible,
regardless of whether said trial has taken place by then.
Sports Direct are challenging the club's plans to sell next
season's shirts themselves and via retailer JD Sports - the latter
gaining an exclusive licence.
Earlier: details of next season's Adidas kit
releases were mentioned during the tribunal, including a home kit
launch on June 7th, the away kit in July and a third kit in August.
Figures disclosed during the tribunal also suggest that the
Adidas production run is around 375,000 shirts.
Update:
Hong Kong return
now confirmed
The annual Hong Kong Soccer Sevens competition returns
between May 24th and 26th, with Newcastle United U21s among the 16 teams
participating.
The Magpies have won the event three times and are joined by
defending champions Aston Villa, Brighton, Fulham, West Ham,
Leicester City and Rangers.
The group stage draw paired them with Leicester City, Tai Po
and Singapore Cricket Club.
PS: The veterans section of the Soccer Sevens will also run
at the same time, with Wallsend Boys club defending their Masters
crown.
Update:
Sandro
D-Day
The deadline for a response by Sandro
Tonali to FA charges arising from multiple breaches of football
betting rules was Friday April 5th. No timescale for the case being
dealt with has been mentioned as yet.
The Italian midfielder is currently suspended from all forms of
football until August 27th 2024 - just under a fortnight after the
next PL season kicks off.
2023/24:
Toon down under
Newcastle have confirmed two post-season games in Australia, both to
be staged as part of the Global Football Week in Melbourne.

Born Or Died:
1877 Andrew Gardner born, Glasgow, Scotland. (1902-03)
Joining Newcastle from Grimsby Town in September 1902 having earlier played for
Clyde, Andy debuted at outside left in a 1-2 home loss Liverpool two months
later.
Playing the last of his ten first team games for United the following March, he
moved on to Bolton Wanderers soon after.
Later appearing for Brighton, QPR and Carlisle United, Gardner lived in
Carlisle following his retirement in 1912 and ran a pub.
1961 Ray Montgomerie born, Irvine, Scotland. (1979-81)
Defender who switched from local side Saltcoats Victoria to
United in 1979, playing for the reserves and featuring in the senior
team's pre season tour of Sweden a year later, scoring once.
Failing to force his way into first team contention and admitting to a degree
of home sickness, Ray was released in 1981 and returned to Scotland with Dumbarton.
Seven seasons later he moved on to Kilmarnock in
1988 and enjoyed over a decade at Rugby Park, playing over 300 games and coming
close to international selection for Scotland (included in a B team preliminary
squad at one point).
Captaining the side to Scottish
Cup Final success against Falkirk at Ibrox in 1997, Monty was awarded a testimonial

A season
before joining the Football League, United played
a limited Northern League season interspersed with
friendlies - including home and away contests
against the First Division Toffees.
This first-ever visit to Goodison Park came on a
Monday (6.05pm kick-off), barely seven months after it opened,
seen by "only a
moderate attendance" according to newspaper reports.
Everton held a commanding half time lead thanks
mostly to an outstanding display from Scottish winger Patrick
Gordon.
United's two efforts came late on, after the hosts
were reduced to ten men following an injury to their
outside left Alf Milward.

Following a nervy 1-0 home win over Aston Villa
three days earlier, United secured a similarly
jittery three points against a Saints side including
SJP old boys Dave Beasant, Barry Venison and Alan
Neilson.
And it was Beasant whose contribution was the most
worrying; unable to reach Robert Lee's early opener
but smothering a 33rd minute penalty kick from Peter
Beardsley.
"You can't call us The Entertainers any
more, we are grinding the results out now"
commented Kevin Keegan afterwards.

Three years to the day that Peter Beardsley was
denied from 12 yards, Alan Shearer saw his spot kick
similarly saved in the same Leazes End goal.
The number would convert a second penalty after the
break, but by then, however, United were behind to a Kevin
Campbell brace - the first of which came after just
42 seconds.
Further misery then followed with a
late beauty from Scott Gemmill. It wasn't a debut defender David Beharall will look back on with any
great fondness...

Newcastle made their bow at Cardiff's Millennium
Stadium three days after exiting from the UEFA Cup
at the Quarter Final stage in Lisbon.
And sadly the 1-4 defeat in Portugal was
emulated in Wales as a depleted side were second
best right across the pitch.
Lee Bowyer and
Kieron Dyer were both banned following their
on-field brawl while Laurent Robert was recalled
after publicly slagging off manager Graeme Souness
and losing his place in the UEFA Cup side.
The Frenchman's performance was pitiful but Red Devils double agent, Nicky Butt, was man of
the match for the Mancs, gifting the ball away
continually.
His parting shot was to heartily
congratulate his old team mates before scampering
off down the tunnel.
Support to the black and whites was both vocal and
loyal - even at 1-4. Typical.

Newcastle secured their biggest away victory
against the mackems since 1955, on what was a
momentous afternoon for the club.
Deservedly behind at the break, the arrival of
Michael Chopra for Lee Clark proved to be the
turning point and within seconds, Chops had got us
back on terms with his first touch.
A
minute later, scorer Hoyte dragged Charles N'Zogbia
to the ground and referee Chris Foy rightly pointed
to the spot.
That allowed Alan Shearer signed off his derby
career with a penalty to wipe out the memory of the
one he missed at St. James' and the game was turned
on its head.
N'Zogbia waltzed through the home rearguard and shot
past Kelvin Davis for 3-1, before Shearer limped off
after an accidental clash with Julio Arca left him
with a career-ending knee injury.
His replacement Albert Luque then netted his first
senior goal for the club to round off an incredible
game and leave Glenn Roeder's side in seventh after
four successive victories.

A week after ending their barren run with a vital
win at Burnley, another three points saw Newcastle rise further up the table from their precarious 17th spot.
They did it the hard way though: 2-0 up at half time against ten men who had
netted an own goal before gifting Joelinton a second, Steve Bruce's
side started snoozing in the sunshine and were duly punished.
Own goal transgressor Issa Diop was left alone to head home before VAR confirmed a Ciaran Clark handball in the area and
Jesse Lingard fired in the resultant penalty.
Stunned into action, Joe Willock headed in the winner with his
first touch, coming off the bench just 83 seconds earlier.

byline and found substitute Joe Willock on the left.
Dashing into the City box, his deflected cross was met by Bruno Guimaraes with a diving header at the Gallowgate End. Delicious.
