David Kelly 1117 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Well, that wouldn't make sense anyway, seeing as it would be all-day on Saturday for a trip to Southampton and back. And you'd make considerably more on a Saturday night than a Saturday morning. Fair play to him calling Carver's bluff though.No there wasn't a lot about the whole thing that made sense either way really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Any word for the club about any punishment for Carver ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acrossthepond 703 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 He'll be getting the same punishment as the rest of the coaching staff, which is going to be one of two things - the sack, or fuck all. Saturday may well determine which it is. Who will Pardew send to the touchline on Saturday? Dollars to doughnuts says this cunt will get the same dog's abuse that Pardew will. Stone? Woodman? Call Graeme Carr out of the bowels of SJP to yell "hump it long"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trooper 940 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Following the conclusion of the Club’s enquiries, assistant manager John Carver; “My sole focus on Saturday, as it always is, was on trying to gain three points for Newcastle United and preparing the players to the best of my ability. “This included keeping them focussed on their roles and duties in the upcoming 90 minutes. “In the warm-up, I was disappointed to see banners that could, in my opinion, distract the players and take focus away from the job in hand – namely winning the match. “I went over to our fans to ask them to help us and requested that they take the banners down. The vast majority of supporters back the team through thick and thin and I am very proud to be one of them. “I was met with abuse from one supporter and I regret that I responded inappropriately. I sincerely apologise for any offence caused by my reaction. “Every fan is entitled to an opinion, positive or negative, and I respect that. I hope fans will understand that I, like them, only wanted what was best for the team. “I am proud to work for my home town club and would ask every supporter to back the players and all staff, as they really can make a difference.” “I am very sorry for the ill-advised comment I posted privately on Twitter on Sunday morning, which was subsequently made public. “It was never my intention, of course, for my response to enter the public domain. “My response was a reaction to significant personal abuse I received from a number of fans which I felt exceeded that which was fair and balanced. “That said, I understand my response was unacceptable and I regret my actions and apologise for any offence caused.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30374 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 He makes a tit of himself in the heat of the moment, and although it was daft, who hasn't done that? He then puts something on twitter after he's had 18 hours or so to have a word with himself. Fuck me gently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonasjuice 0 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I know you should never do it as a professional, you need to show some restraint, it's stupid and needless in that respect. But I'm not going to be outraged over Woodman calling someone a prick if he was, you know, being a prick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
