Newcastle pair Kieron Dyer and Lee Bowyer were sent off in disgrace for fighting during their side's 3-0 home defeat against Aston Villa. Dyer and Bowyer exchanged blows in the middle of the Newcastle half three minutes after Villa had gone 3-0 up.
The pair later appeared alongside manager Graeme Souness to apologise for their conduct, but pointedly did not say sorry to each other. Both will miss the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United on 17 April.
During their fracas, the duo were separated by Villa goalscorer Gareth Barry and several of their team-mates, though not before Bowyer's shirt had been ripped. Barry, who scored two penalties to seal Villa's victory, admitted he was stunned to see Bowyer and Dyer brawling on the pitch.
Could someone please tell the Geordies to stop brawling on the pitch and remind them to keep all fights in the terraces where they belong?
