Tonali and Barnes to very good signings, Newcastle should fancy themselves to qualify for CL again this season.
 
Newcastle United have signed Southampton defender Tino Livramento in a deal worth up to £40m.

The deal is worth an initial £32m and the 20-year-old has signed a five-year contract.

Livramento, who joined Southampton from Chelsea in 2021 for £5m, is Newcastle's third summer signing.

"Tino is a very talented young player with an exciting future ahead of him so we are delighted to sign him," said manager Eddie Howe.

"At 20, he already has lots of attributes that I admire, but he also has the potential and drive to really grow with this team.

"I'm looking forward to working with him and to seeing him develop in a Newcastle shirt."

Livramento made only two Southampton appearances last season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury in April 2022.

He came on as a substitute in their final two Premier League games against Brighton and Liverpool.

Livramento played 32 games in 2021-22, including 28 in the Premier League.

Newcastle, who finished fourth in the table last season, have signed Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali and England winger Harvey Barnes this summer.

They host Aston Villa on 12 August in their first game of the season.
 
I don't think they've made strong enough moves in the market to make the top 4 again. It would require another remarkable job from Eddie Howe.
 
Amjid Javed said:
@Geordie Ahmed - happy with transfer business so far?
Click to expand...

Yeah, fairly happy

I'm gutted ASM has left as he was just so entertaining to watch however his injury record wasn't great and his finishing was not of a good standard

Tonali is a really good signing, shows how far we've come that we can sign an boyhood Milan fan that was likely to become their captain. I think he'll need some time to settle but once he does I'm confident he'll do really well

Barnes is a good signing, even if as mentioned I'm gutted about ASM leaving. Whilst Barnes isn't as exciting, he's direct and his finishing is of a much higher standard than ASM.

Livramento offers support to Trippier, who isn't getting any younger and we'll have more games to contend with. The only concern with him is that he's coming back from an ACL injury, if he gets back to the level he was at before then we've got a good talent on our hands.

I would like at the very least a RCB, someone to provide cover/competition for Schar. Our front 6 has reasonably decent depth but at the back we are a little short.

Overall, happy enough and excited for the season ahead. Not sure we'll get top 4 again as I expect Liverpool/Chelsea to be much better combined with us having to manage playing CL during the week.

Alexander Isak's clinical finishing helped Newcastle United to an emphatic victory against Aston Villa on the opening weekend of the new Premier League campaign.

Newcastle tore into the visitors from the early stages at St James' Park and new signing Sandro Tonali made their early dominance count when he converted Anthony Gordon's inviting sixth-minute cross.

Moussa Diaby cancelled out his fellow debutant's goal within five minutes, though, beautifully controlling a half volley with his weaker foot after Ollie Watkins' flick on.

But, in a frantic opening period, Isak regained the lead for the Magpies as he slid home from Sven Botman's cut-back across the box.

Isak delicately chipped Emiliano Martinez for his second to give the home side a two-goal cushion after Ezri Konsa inexplicably left the ball in his own penalty box.

Callum Wilson added a fourth following a slick passing move and Harvey Barnes raced clear to score on his competitive debut, ensuring the Magpies followed up their superb 2022-23 campaign with an ideal start this time around..
 
They looked irresistible yesterday.

Going to be another very successful season.
 
What on earth was that.

What a mess they made of that last 20mins or so.

They could have killed that game off yet instead somehow lost.
 
Northumbria Police investigating violent altercation involving Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles.

Northumbria Police are investigating a violent altercation involving Newcastle captain Jamaal Lascelles.

A video of the incident, which occurred on Westgate Road in Newcastle city centre, was posted on social media.

Northumbria Police said they received a report shortly after 4am on Sunday, 20 August.

"Officers attended, however it is believed that those involved had already left the scene before they arrived." Northumbria Police said.

Newcastle declined to comment when approached by BBC Sport.

The video shows several individuals throwing punches and kicks as the fight spills out on to the street.

Lascelles, 29, signed for Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in 2014 and has featured 225 times, although he is yet to make an appearance in 2023-24.

"Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information should use the 'Tell Us Something' page of our website or call101, quoting NP-20230820-0227," Northumbria Police added.

Newcastle break UEFA rules on pre-match preparations after storm delays departure to Milan for Champions League opener

Newcastle have inadvertently broken UEFA rules on Champions League preparations after their flight to Milan was delayed by more than two hours due to a storm in Italy.

Eddie Howe and his squad took off two hours and 20 minutes late from Newcastle for their flight to north Italy.

UEFA rules stipulate that teams must hold their pre-match press conferences between 12pm and 8pm local time the day before a match takes place.

A storm swept through Milan at 5pm, just after Newcastle took off, but it is uncertain whether that was the cause for the delay.

Eddie Howe, when he finally arrived at the San Siro, said the weather was the reason for their delay, and admitted they sat on the runway for nearly two hours before taking off.

Newcastle's press conference began at 9pm, two hours after its scheduled start time.

Newcastle break UEFA rules on pre-match preparations after storm delays departure to Milan for Champions League opener

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe on late arrival in Milan ahead of Champions League opener: Its not out of the normal that that can happen. This was a weather problem, but weve been in similar situations
www.skysports.com www.skysports.com
 
Newcastle United Starting XI vs Milan: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Longstaff, Tonali; Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
 
What a performance by Newcastle which equaled their all time Premier League victory record with an electrifying performance 8 - 0, thoroughly outclassing the still winless Sheffield United.
 
Absolutely stunning scoreline. Eddie Howe conjuring up something special with these players.
 
Newcastle winger Harvey Barnes has had a scan on a "substantial" foot injury and could be out for "months rather than weeks", says boss Eddie Howe.

The 25-year-old limped off after 12 minutes of Sunday's 8-0 thrashing of Sheffield United.

Barnes, signed from Leicester in July for £38m, has had a scan and is waiting to see if surgery is required.

"It's an injury to a part of the foot just below the toe. I think it's quite a substantial injury," Howe said.

"I won't go too technical because I'm not qualified to do so but yes it's a very unusual injury."

Barnes, who has one England cap, has made seven appearances for Newcastle, scoring once.

Howe, whose side face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, added: "He was down after the game because he knew it wasn't a normal injury where you feel a muscle and think that might be one or two weeks. This was a slightly more complex issue."
 
Isak scores winner as Newcastle beat Man City

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says his side are eager to "go one better" than last season's runners-up finish in the Carabao Cup after his side beat Manchester City to reach this campaign's fourth round.

Alexander Isak scored the winner for a largely second-string Newcastle, who came to life after the break to beat a much-changed City.

Newcastle, who lost to Manchester United in last year's final, made 10 changes from Sunday's 8-0 win at Sheffield United and barely got a kick in a first half dominated by the visitors.

But with Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon sent on at the break, the Magpies were transformed, with Isak slotting home following fine work from Joelinton.

"Pre-game, the run last year was in our thoughts," Howe told Sky Sports. "It was an inspiration to us and helped our season, albeit the final maybe affected our league results. We look back on it with real pride.

"We want to try and go one further if we can but there is a long way to go at this stage. We are still there fighting."

Disciplined but passive in the face of City's possessional dominance, Howe's men were fortunate to still be level after 45 minutes, with Julian Alvarez missing two decent chances.

Pep Guardiola opted for seven changes of his own, giving a first start to young midfielder Oscar Bobb among them, but the familiar patient probing was evident.

But the home side deserved their victory thanks to their second-half display, which was full of energy and endeavour and played largely in the face of a City side who could not react.

For Pep Guardiola's side, it was just a second loss inside 90 minutes in their last 38 games in all competitions.

Newcastle are now unbeaten in four games after a run of three straight losses, with their reward for Wednesday's win a fourth-round shot at revenge against the side that beat them in last year's final.

The only downside for Newcastle, with Paris St-Germain to come on Wednesday in the Champions League after Saturday's league visit of Burnley, was Isak departing the game on the hour with an injury.

Eddie Howe: Newcastle boss warns of using 'too much emotion' against PSG in Champions League

Eddie Howe has said Newcastle must contain their emotions when they face Paris St-Germain at St James' Park in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Newcastle drew 0-0 at AC Milan in their opening group game last month.

Wednesday marks their first Champions League home game since a 2-0 loss against Barcelona in 2003.

"I can't wait to experience the home atmosphere and what our fans create," said Howe.

"I think it will be a really memorable night and hopefully our performance will make it that way, too.

"The fans will bring their positivity, noise, enthusiasm and love for the game. It's up to us to use that powerfully and positively on the pitch. You can use too much emotion on the pitch, but I think we've been getting that balance right at home."

Newcastle go into Wednesday's match unbeaten in five games, winning four, including an 8-0 victory at Sheffield United.

Howe does have some key figures unavailable, though, and said striker Callum Wilson is close but "probably won't make the game" because of a hamstring injury.

Defender Sven Botman also misses out with a knee injury, but Joelinton could feature if he passes a late check and Sandro Tonali "is fine", said Howe.

Newcastle must control emotions against PSG - Howe

Newcastle United Starting XI against PSG:

Pope; Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Burn; Longstaff, Tonali, Guimaraes; Almiron, Isak, Gordon
 
What a night for the club.

Fantastic result against PSG.

Great performance from the players and brilliant management from Eddie Howe.
 
Didnt watch it but must have been a great night for Newcastle winning in such a fashion against a team with the best player in the world.

PSG are very overated, their domestic league is avg but credit to the Toons for winning big.

Still a long way to go in this group.
 
Newcastle United welcomed Champions League football back to St James' Park in style as Paris St-Germain were overpowered in a highly charged atmosphere on Tyneside.

The French champions - including superstar Kylian Mbappe - found the atmosphere and intensity on and off the pitch just too much as Eddie Howe's side secured a richly deserved win in Newcastle's first home game in Europe's elite competition since a 2-0 defeat by Barcelona in March 2003.

The Toon Army had already transformed St James' Park into four walls of black and white even before Miguel Almiron sent them wild by giving them a 17th-minute lead after PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma could only palm out Alexander Isak's shot, as Marquinhos was punished for carelessly conceding possession.

It was to prove an eventful night for Italy keeper Donnarumma, who tried in vain to claw out Dan Burn's towering header six minutes before half-time. The ball had already crossed the line but Newcastle still had to wait for a video assistant referee check for offside before the celebrations could begin.

Donnarumma was a central figure again as Newcastle went three up five minutes after the break, the goalkeeper's poor attempt at a block allowing Sean Longstaff's powerful shot from an angle to creep in.

PSG's threats were rare but they did pull one back after 56 minutes through Lucas Hernandez's header - but this was Newcastle's night from start to finish.

Swiss centre-back Fabian Schar added the icing on the cake in stoppage time as he curled a stunning shot past Donnarumma from the edge of the box into the top corner to make it 4-1.

The three points, added to an opening draw away to AC Milan, mean Newcastle go top of Group F.


 
Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has signed a new five-year contract at St James' Park.

Guimaraes, 25, joined from Lyon in January 2022 and has gone on to make 67 appearances, scoring 11 goals.

The Brazil international helped inspire Newcastle to a Champions League return after 20 years last season.

"I'm absolutely delighted. The fans have made me feel at home since my first day here and I feel so loved in my life," he said.

"I remember in my first interview, I said I wanted to play for this club in the Champions League and now it's happening. We are doing so well and when I look around the pitch at my team-mates I am so proud of them all."

Guimaraes' contract runs until 2028 - a two-year extension on his previous deal - and head coach Eddie Howe said he "epitomises" Newcastle's improvement since his arrival.

"I'm delighted to get Bruno signed and committed to the long-term future of the football club," said Howe.

"I think he epitomises the recent success we've had. He's put in so many good displays, he's very consistent and he's got a great personality off the pitch as well."

Newcastle United: Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak injured against Dortmund

Manager Eddie Howe says losing Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak to injury in Newcastle United's defeat against Borussia Dortmund is a "big blow".

Newcastle lost for the first time in their Champions League campaign, going down 1-0 against the Bundesliga club at St James' Park.

Striker Isak and midfielder Murphy both had to be substituted because of injury.

"Jacob came off with what looks like a serious injury," Howe told TNT Sports.

"We've got a small squad as is it. That's probably the most disappointing thing of the night.

"It looks like a recurrence of his Isak's groin problem and it's a big blow. Jacob's looks serious, potentially a dislocation of his shoulder."

Isak, who has scored eight times in 2023-24, was brought into the starting 11 in place of Callum Wilson for the visit of Dortmund but lasted just 15 minutes.

Murphy came off the bench in the 65th minute and had to be helped off the field with his shirt being used as a makeshift sling five minutes later.

The duo will join defender Sven Botman and winger Harvey Barnes in the treatment room as Newcastle's injury list continues to swell.

Botman has missed Newcastle's last six games with a knee issue and could be on the sidelines for a further two weeks while Barnes was ruled out for about three months because of a foot injury, although he does not require surgery.

A player that cost £55m just a few months ago is facing a ban from football for months. He has admitted to a problem with gambling - and is just one of a number of footballers facing investigation.

Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali will be banned from football for 10 months over a betting scandal, the president of Italy's football association has said.

The 23-year-old only signed for Newcastle from AC Milan this summer. The Geordies paid the Italian club a fee in the region of £55m for his services.

As well as the ban, Tonali must also attend treatment sessions for problem gamblers and give a series of talks about his experience over a further eight-month period as part of an agreement with the Italian football federation.

The ban is also expected to apply to international football with Italy.

The plea-bargain agreement, confirmed by Italian football federation President Gabriele Gravina, will rule Tonali out for the remainder of Newcastle's season and next summer's Euro 2024 tournament should he be banned from international games.

The midfielder came off the bench for manager Eddie Howe's team during their 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League at St James's Park last night.

Mr Gravina said: "We can't just think about punishing the boys and not helping them recover.

"I think it's worth a lot more, rather than a month ban, eight months of giving talks about what they went through, in an honest way and with the right behaviour."

The full sentence is an 18-month suspension, with eight of those commutable on the condition he attends treatment and gives talks.

Tonali's agent, Giuseppe Riso, admitted earlier this month that the player is fighting a gambling addiction.

He said: "Sandro suffers gambling addiction. He's fighting to avoid that and I'm sure he will win this difficult game.

"He is in shock, he is shaken and sad. I hope that this experience saves his life and that of many others, that it helps those who fall into the same habit as him."

Mr Riso also said that Tonali told prosecutors he bet on AC Milan and Brescia when he played for those clubs.

Sandro Tonali: FA investigating whether midfielder broke betting rules following Newcastle move

The Football Association is investigating whether banned midfielder Sandro Tonali breached betting rules after joining Newcastle in the summer.

Tonali, 23, was suspended for 10 months by the Italian Football Federation in October for betting on matches involving his teams Brescia and Milan.

The ban was made worldwide.

He joined Newcastle from Milan for £55m in July and the FA is investigating whether he was involved in betting on football following that move.

Meanwhile, Magpies sporting director Dan Ashworth said he did not know if Milan were aware of the betting charges when they sold him.

"It's really difficult for me to get into what other clubs do or don't know," Ashworth said.

"All we can do is look at our own internal investigation and internal process. It's a really difficult question for me to answer - I just don't know.

"It was a massive shock, a massive surprise. Dealing with it was new to all of us. It came from nowhere."

In reply, Milan told the BBC they first learned about the charges from the media and only know what has been reported in the news.

Tonali only made 12 appearances for Eddie Howe's side before the implementation of the ban, which will keep the Italy international out until the start of next season.

The federal prosecutor and Tonali agreed a plea bargain, meaning eight months of his ban will be commuted to "a therapeutic plan" to help "recovery from gambling addiction".

That will include Tonali making at least 16 public appearances in Italy, where he will be expected to speak to young players about the dangers of gambling.

Though unable to play in any matches, Tonali can train alongside his Newcastle team-mates during his ban.

Great win for them.

Wasn't pretty, but they got the result in the end.

Not just a strong team these days, but a much stronger squad.

Top 4 I reckon.
 
Anthony Gordon's controversial second-half winner gave Newcastle United victory over Arsenal in a feisty encounter at St James' Park.

Gordon's scrappy 64th-minute strike summed up a dogfight of a game, with the video assistant referee checking for whether the ball had gone out of play, for a foul and for offside before Newcastle were finally allowed to celebrate.

It condemned Arsenal to their first Premier League defeat of the season as referee Stuart Attwell found himself at the centre of several contentious moments even before Gordon's decider.

Newcastle were furious when Kai Havertz escaped a red card for a wild first-half challenge on Sean Longstaff before Arsenal demanded similar punishment for Bruno Guimaraes, who was fortunate after appearing to elbow Jorginho.

The Magpies finally broke the deadlock when Arsenal keeper David Raya missed Joe Willock's cross, leaving Gordon to pounce after a tangle between Joelinton and Gabriel at the far post.

Click to expand...
I agree it was a great win and that it definitely wasn't pretty, was a very physical and defensive game

Top 4 I'm not sure about, mainly due to three reasons

1) The standard at the top has jumped significantly since last season (I believe the total points from the top 4 in the league after 10 games is an all time premier league record), which means it will require more points to finish 4th. Last season we finished 4th on 71 points (67 with GD would have been enough) whereas this season I think it will be mid 70's, maybe closer to 80 points

2) We are in 4 competitions, the only side remaining in all 4 top competitions (Liverpool are also in 4 but Europa League is obviously a lower standard to the CL), playing midweek and then the weekend is tough, even if you have a bigger squad it is not easy to navigate. We have already seen the impact after our CL games. Leaving aside Sheff Utd as they are awful but we faced West Ham away and Wolves away after our games against PSG/Dortmund. Both games we were leading but ended up drawing, that's 4 points dropped. That was ultimately fatigue kicking in

3) Squad. Whilst we invested in the squad we've been hit with injuries and that has had our squad stretched and we still have loads of games before we can possibly do any business. We currently have Botman, Isak, Barnes, Anderson, Murphy (injured again today), Targett and Burn (injured today) all out with injuries, plus Tonali suspended until next season. We are very stretched and if we get anymore injuries we will struggle, the fact we had Matt Ritchie on for the last 15 mins tells you everything. Great servant for the club but should be nowhere near a premier league pitch.
 
Premier League: Clubs to vote on temporary ban on loaning players from teams under same ownership

Premier League clubs are to vote on a temporary ban stopping teams from loaning players from clubs under the same ownership in January.

The measure would block Newcastle from signing players from clubs also owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF).

It comes amid rumours Newcastle want to sign former Wolves captain Ruben Neves from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

Clubs will vote at a shareholders meeting on 21 November.

A potential January move by the Magpies for 26-year-old Neves - who joined Al-Hilal for £47m in June - could help plug the midfield gap created by Sandro Tonali's 10-month ban for breaching betting rules.

The temporary rule - which must be voted for by 14 of the 20 Premier League clubs to be implemented - would only apply to incoming loans, not outgoing.

It would therefore not have affected Brighton sending Kaoru Mitoma on loan to Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise as they did in 2021. Brighton owner and chairman Tony Bloom has a minority stake in Union SG.

The proposed measure would only be temporary until a concrete solution can be agreed in time for the summer transfer window.

Kieran Trippier: Newcastle defender confronts 'emotional' fans after defeat and says 'don't panic'

Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier says he told fans "there's no need to panic" when confronting them at full-time following their defeat at Bournemouth.

In a video widely shared on social media, Trippier could be seen speaking to some travelling Magpies supporters after Saturday's 2-0 loss at Vitality Stadium in the Premier League.

Trippier appeared upset as he asked the fans: "How many injuries have we got?"

"The fans are emotional," he told Sky Sports after the incident.

"They have travelled a long way. I had a chat with one of them, saying we are giving everything and there's no need to panic.

"We got beat and we apologise for that result but the lads are giving everything."

Premier League: Newcastle clear to loan players from PIF-owned Saudi clubs after vote

Newcastle will be able to loan players from sides also controlled by their Saudi owners in January after a vote by Premier League clubs on a temporary ban on related-party loans did not receive the required support to be introduced.

Thirteen clubs voted in favour of the block on loan moves between teams under the same ownership.

That was one short of the two-thirds majority needed for it to be passed.

The Premier League was understood to be in favour of introducing the ban.

It means Newcastle United, for instance, could sign players from clubs also owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF).

Newcastle, whose £305m Saudi Arabian-backed takeover was completed in October 2021, have been linked with a move for former Wolves captain Ruben Neves from Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.

The ban was proposed as a temporary measure until a concrete solution could be agreed before the summer transfer window.

It was only set to apply to incoming loans, not outgoing.

PIF, which provided 80% of funds for the Newcastle takeover, took over four of the leading Saudi Arabian clubs in June - Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad.

Asked in November whether he would consider signing players from Saudi Arabia if allowed, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said he was "open to signing anyone if they are good enough".

Other high-profile former Premier League players currently at PIF-owned clubs include Cristiano Ronaldo (Al-Nassr), Roberto Firmino (Al-Ahli), Sadio Mane (Al-Nassr) and Riyad Mahrez (Al-Ahli).

But it is a a potential January move for 26-year-old Neves - who joined Al-Hilal for £47m in June - which could help the Magpies fill the midfield gap created by Sandro Tonali's 10-month ban for breaching betting rules.

PIF, which is governed by Newcastle chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, has assets of £250bn - making Newcastle one of the richest clubs in the world.

Newcastle are not the only Premier League team part of a multi-club ownership model. Manchester City are one of 13 clubs - along with La Liga leaders Girona - under the control of the City Football Group.

Crystal Palace are one of five clubs - including French club Lyon - owned by Eagle Football Holdings, while Chelsea's owners BlueCo took a majority stake in Strasbourg in June.

Newcastle cleared to loan players from PIF-owned Saudi clubs

Newcastle United will be permitted to loan players from sides also controlled by their Saudi owners in January following a vote by Premier League clubs.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com
 
That is a good move for NewCastle.

-------------------------------------------

Newcastle will make loan moves for Manchester City's 27-year-old England midfielder Kalvin Phillips and Paris St-Germain's French striker Hugo Ekitike, 21, in January.
 
Newcastle's match at Paris St-Germain will be the "defining moment" of the Magpies' Champions League campaign, according to manager Eddie Howe.

His side must avoid defeat in the French capital on Tuesday to have any chance of reaching the last 16.

After consecutive losses to Borussia Dortmund the Premier League club are bottom of Group F in their first Champions League campaign for 20 years.

"We will need every ounce of energy to get a result," said Howe.

"This is a defining moment in our Champions League campaign, we are going to give it everything. It is imperative we don't lose."

Howe's side had looked well placed to qualify when they thrashed PSG 4-1 in their second Group F match at St James' Park in early October.

But injuries have since affected their form with two losses to Dortmund leaving them heading towards European elimination.

Newcastle did return to winning ways in the Premier League with a 4-1 victory over Chelsea on Saturday.

Newcastle's injury list is lengthy.

Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Elliot Anderson, Harvey Barnes and Callum Wilson are likely to remain sidelined for Tuesday's fixture, while Howe confirmed Joe Willock "is seeing a specialist" and Sean Longstaff "has not travelled".

One positive is the emergence of 17-year-old Lewis Miley, who started against Chelsea. The teenager "has every chance" of being involved at Parc des Princes, according to Howe.

"I think he is ready," Howe added. "He has a great temperament for these occasions.

"The thing I loved about him after the game on Saturday, it was just another game for him. That is how he will need to approach this one."

PSG are likely to be without teenager Warren Zaire-Emery who picked up an ankle injury while making his France debut last week.

Newcastle sit three points behind leaders Dortmund and two points off second-placed PSG in Group F.

They will be eliminated with a defeat on Tuesday because of their inferior head-to head record versus Borussia Dortmund. Newcastle will go second with one group fixture remaining if they manage to beat PSG.

Every game is crucial in this tough group but Newcastle must take at least a point in this match to have some chance of going through to the knockout stage.
 
Paris Saint-Germain 1-1 Newcastle: Eddie Howe says referee Szymon Marciniak had to be stronger to not award late penalty

Eddie Howe says Polish referee Szymon Marciniak needed to be stronger to stick with his on-field decision as Kylian Mbappe's last-gasp penalty denied Newcastle a famous victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

The Magpies looked to be heading for a famous 1-0 win at the Parc des Princes as they battled their way through a second-half onslaught from the hosts until match official Marciniak awarded a spot-kick against Tino Livramento after a VAR review, allowing Mbappe to level in the eighth and final minute of added time.

Howe, who said in a television interview that the official had been placed under "extreme" pressure by the PSG players, labelled a decision which cost his side two precious points "poor" in his post-match press conference.

Asked if he felt a sense of injustice, he said: "Yes, I do. It wasn't the right decision in my opinion.

"There are so many things to take into account at that moment, the speed first. It was a ricochet that when it is slowed down, looks completely different to the live event.

"The ball hits his chest first, comes up and hits his hand. But his hand is not in an unnatural position, they [his hands] are down by his side, but he is in a running motion.

"I feel it is a poor decision and it's hugely frustrating for us as you know how little time there is left in the game. There is nothing we can do about it now."

Speaking to TNT Sports, Howe added: "What you don't take into account with those replays is how quick the ball goes. It hits his chest first. If it hits his hands first, well it's still not a penalty because he's so close. But you can make more of a case.

"It's not a penalty when it hits his chest first and then hits his hand which is low. I'm not allowed to sum it up. I can't say my inner thoughts obviously [I'd get in trouble].

"I thought the referee was having a good game up until this moment. He had been strong."

The pivotal moment arrived in the fifth minute of stoppage time when Ousmane Dembele attempted to deliver the ball across the Newcastle penalty area and saw it hit Livramento's side and rear up on to the underside of his arm.

Mr Marciniak, who had earlier seen decisions not to award spot-kicks for an Anthony Gordon challenge on Achraf Hakimi and a shout for handball against teenager midfielder Lewis Miley upheld, was advised to review the incident and this time decided to award the penalty.

Karma for Newcastle fans.

Hope this costs them a place in next round.

Collectively all managers / teams should be asking for refereeing to improve and be accountable. But when teams aren't effected they don't care, till they get screwed over them selves.

Reality is this was a "big oil club" getting a gift over "little oil club" . But hey corruption doesn't exist 🤭🤭

Newcastle can enjoy humble pie washed down with their own tears

It was an awful decision, I don't think I've seen a single person say it wasn't a penalty

Arsenal fans are a strange bunch and are trying to make it all about them but the VAR and the referee seemingly ignored their own guidance, if a ball deflects off a body part and then on to a hand it shouldn't be given

However maybe there is an interpretation everyone isn't aware of so would be good to listen to the audio to see how they came to that decision

Also, the big difference is Howe was very dignified about it, unlike Arteta, Howe actually explained why the decision was incorrect, unlike Arteta

Also, I don't claim it's corruption, just that an extremely experienced referee simply succumbed to pressure
 
Just remember the ball is spherical and the curvature of the ball is touching the arm 🤭

Screenshot_20231129_082301_Facebook.jpg
 
Despite that decision, absolutely proud of the effort the players put in, especially difficult considering how limited the squad was.

A point away to PSG is not a bad result, think most of us would have snapped your hands off for it before the game, just the manner of it can be difficult to take.

However, in the toughest group of the competition we are heading into the last gameweek still with a chance of qualifying (obviously we are relying on Dortmund to do us a favour) and going into the Europa is in our hands.

Regardless of the outcome of this campaign it's been brilliant overall and a huge learning experience for both the players and Howe, and long term we'll be better for it.

The manager is clearly a reflection of your fans, he ranted like a mad man over a legitimate goal, couldn't even articulate why it was a "disgrace"

And that tells you he's way too emotional and like you say was incapable of handling the end of the season

When he matures and can transmit that to his team he'll be better equipped to win the league

Karma?

I didn't see Newcastle coming out and complaining when you won a fraud of penalty vs wolves.

Now uve got entire Newcastle fan base saying last night was a disgrace.

So Newcastle deserve what they got yesterday.

In regards to Gordon goal. I said at time, whatever I said ain't going to change the result.

Right now I'm going to banter and enjoy winding up every Newcastle fan online 🙃🤭

I think you'll find I said (as did many Newcastle fans) the Wolves penalty was a joke.

I even said that Gary O'Neil is the one that has legitimate reasons to kick off as Wolves have been on the end of some harsh decisions and ironically think they were also hard done by again on Monday.

Again, you've not explained what the karma is.

The reality is, you are upset that the Gordon goal was given despite as we've heard the decision and process was logical.

I'm not upset at all, I'm laughing non stop at all Newcastle fans crying online last night and this morning. Some of the Newcastle fans calling in on talksport are hilarious.

My stance has always been clear all referees need to be made accountable very every decision made in every game. But other fans don't care unless it effects them, so when things like yesterday happen those fans deserve a slap in the face.

So know I'm in full banter mode 🙃🙃🤭

You listen to talksport? Next you'll be telling me you read the Sun and Daily Mail

Again, you aren't really making sense. Go back and read my posts on the Gordon goal and all that surrounded it.

Asking for the standards of officiating is reasonable, I think the reaction from Arteta (over a legitimate goal, at worst subjective) and then Arsenal was pathetic, especially as Arteta couldn't even explain what was wrong with the goal.

If we come out with an official statement today I'll also think it's embarrassing and not needed. If I start screaming corruption after the initial feeling has subsided then you can call me out for hypocrisy.

It was a poor decision. Still a good point. We'll get on with it.

I just don't get Arsenal fans thinking it's the same as what happened with the Gordon goal.

PSG got the decision because they are seen as a more important Club in CL then Newcastle.

Just like ukrainies non penalty vs Italy, as uefa cudnt risk a euros with the holders playing.

If you don't think their is corruption fair enough.

Arteta lash out was a build up of other pathetic decisions made by the FA, so I see why he did it (I am not going to keep goinv over this).

I listen to talksport to hear or the comical comments from different fans, purely from am entertainment point of view as its funny.

I'm sure the Audio will go something like this 🤭🤭

There was no clear angle to confirm that the ball did come from the chest to the hand.

Again there's no enough evidence that the ball got to Livramento's hand but rather the hand went to the ball

Check complete 💯✅ it's a Penalty for Mbappe 🤣🤣🥳🥳💐
 
Sky Sports News understands the VAR who controversially reviewed the late penalty in Newcastle’s game against PSG has been replaced for a game tonight. 🖥️❌

Tomasz Kwiatkowski asked the referee to go to the screen after the review which looked into a potential handball by Tino Livramento – the referee didn’t give the penalty onfield but reversed the decision after looking at the incident on the screen.

Kwiatkowski was due to be the VAR in tonight’s Champions League game between Real Sociedad and Salzburg but has now been replaced.

Oh dear 🤭
 
AJ is relentless.:ROFLMAO:

My comment was tongue in cheek.

Shearer losing his head on Twitter is funny to. Goes back to " you win some you lose some"

JJ also venting was fun to watch.

It was a weird game. Newcastle got the goal albeit in my opinion a goalkeeping error but I dont recall them doing anything after that. Good away performance. Get a goal and defend for your lives.

Having said that. PSG missed some big chances and in my opinion should have won the game comfortably. Pope made a good save or two as well.

My conclusion is that PSG are the smallest Big team around. I will eat my words I bet when Arsenal draw them in the next round.

In the heat of the moment I can understand that thinking and there are lots of Newcastle fans that think that way and will continue to

I just think the officials have bottled it, caved in to pressure

The on field officials made the right call to wave it away but for some reason the VAR official asked the on field referee to look at it and then the referee gave it, even though you could see it deflect off his chest

To dismiss any theories about it being corrupt, why wouldn't they give the penalty earlier when Gordon challenged Hakimi? That was a much stronger claim for a penalty, even though I personally don't think it was that could easily have been justified

I used to listen to talksport years ago (before podcasts were a thing) and you can see what their entire set up is, littered with adverts and intentionally bring on people to talk rubbish.

I get the tongue in cheek comment but I find comments like "karma", "justice" etc very strange as this is not remotely similar to the Gordon goal

That's the thing, JJ doesn't even particularly like us as there is no love lost but he knows it was a bad decisions. McCoist played for Sunderland and he was more angry than any Newcastle fan I have seen and apart from Arsenal fans and Sunderland fans on the wind up I have yet to see a single person say it was the correct decision

I do agree, they were overall the better side in general, created wave after wave of chances in that second half. First half a was a bit more even and we certainly played a bit more and got in some decent positions. Apart from the Isak chance early in the second half I don't recall us doing much going forward.

The big difficulty we had is we had no option on the bench really, it's hard enough doing all that running when the opposition has all the ball and then you aren't in a position to bring on fresh legs like they were able to. Ideally Willock, Wilson, Murphy come on and help us a bit.

I haven't been that impressed with PSG, Mbappe when he turns it on is a serious player but they still haven't got going, over two legs you'd easily beat them.
