Newcastle will keep Dyer & Bowyer

Newcastle have confirmed Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer will both stay at the club despite fighting each other during the 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday.
But Bowyer has been fined the maximum six weeks' wages by the Magpies, thought to be around £200,000.
The pair were sent off for brawling but shook hands after training on Monday and boss Graeme Souness revealed they have contested Dyer's dismissal.
Souness said: "They've spoken over the weekend and have had a laugh about it."
He added on the club's official website: "They appreciate the seriousness of the incident, but they were laughing because they get on very well together.
"There has been an implication they have been at loggerheads for a long time, but this is completely without foundation."
A Newcastle statement read: "Lee Bowyer has been handed an unprecedented fine, severely censured and additionally warned as to his future conduct.
"The decision to fine and censure Bowyer was taken after chairman Freddy Shepherd and Graeme Souness interviewed both players at the club's training ground on Monday.
"The fine, amounting to six weeks wages, is the highest fine handed out by the club."
Dyer and Bowyer already both face a three-match ban for violent conduct but could also be charged with bringing the game into disrepute.
The Football Association will study referee Barry Knight's report before making a decision over any possible charges on Tuesday.

Shocking decision to keep Bowyer. The fact that NUFC has fined him a a 1/4 million pounds and done nothing to Dyer says it all.

Bowyer has form. If you were out with your family one night and came across Bowyer, get prepared to be racially abused, and possibly beaten up ...for being Asian!

[Rob H]

On the picture of them shaking hands you can tell Dyer doesn't look happy.

[Oxy]

Would you feel happy shaking hands with a white supremicist?

[Rob H]

Don't go OTT. I know Bowyer has known to be racist but aren't you being a bit over the top.

[nufc]

no he may try to hide it but inside he is a racist!

[w4s1m786]

at end of day if you come across a racist like bowyer you should give it back to him otherwise theyl just walk all over you

[w4s1m786]

oh yeh that is also one of the main reasons why i hate newcastle is cos they got brought bowyer and woodgate who they sold and they also got another racist called bellemy

[Geordie Ahmed]

Don't go OTT. I know Bowyer has known to be racist but aren't you being a bit over the top.

he is not going OTT
everything oxy has said about Bowyer is spot on

The only reason BR signed him was cos we had no money and he was available on a freebie! if Bobby had money then i doubt he would have signed him

[w4s1m786]

when bowyer was at charlton he attacked a pakistani in food place he was cautioned back then

[Oxy]

RH. Nothing OTT about what I am saying.

I am just saying what ever is in the public domain.

Lee Bowyer, Alan Smith, Jonathon Woodgate and Craig Bellamy have ALL been to court for RACIALLY AGGRAVATED ASSAULT.

Bellamy got off the racial charges and pleaded guilty to assaulting a black woman!!!

They may be pro-footballers and fabulously wealthy, but bottom line is that they are racist scum. And you cannot change that.

[nufc]

newcastle might even me buying smith whats this with newcastle and racist players!

[Oxy]

...but ultimately football clubs are in the 'win' business so if aplyer isd good-they will buy him, irrespective if they are racist or not.

Football is a business...run by businessmen...with no credence to morals or ethics.

im surprised alan smith you mentioned when was this

[Oxy]

My mistake-Alan Smith should NOT have been in my list.

The 3rd player was Michael Duberrry (black) who was with the group when they attacked the Pakistani guy. He then gave evidence AGAINST Bowyer and Woodgate...and surprise surprise, left Leeds!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

bowyer is a disgrace - just like what mihalijovic did a few years ago - should have been sacked

[Oxy]

Mihailovic is playing for Inter (thanks WIY) now! How can this guy be going from strength to strength!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

he plays for inter bhai!!! BUT HE IS A DISGRACE - showing support for arcan - a war criminal who killed many in bosnia

[Uzi]

I'm sure a while ago now, I heard that Bellamy assaulted an Asian youth.

Well I guess we know what we would all do if we saw any of these guys on the streets.

[Toony™®]

bowyer hall of shame:

Racist abuse to a pakistani/asian in MacD's in Shoreditch, East London.

Took Cocaine at Charlton whilst a england youth , suspended from club.

Involved in the Safraz Nawaz affair/beating up...cleared of linvolvement in beating.

Fails to back the kick racism out of football campaign whilst at West Ham after asked by the media.

Onfield fighting last weekend vs.Dyer,
---------------------------------------------------------------

I am pretty sure he will be sold in the summer, Defn.

[HAFRIDI]

bowyer is ***** kcick himm out bad name for magpies dyer is cool tho

[Geordie Ahmed]

I really hope Bowyer gets kicked out of the club, he is a racist thug who is nothing but trouble!

[HAFRIDI]

agree but u liked him when he joined? maybe im rong...

anyway hope he does get kicked out i wana see newcastle finish higher not above man u tho off course:P

kik freddy out, geordie any good transfers lined up?

[Geordie Ahmed]

I liked him??? HELL NO

I have never wanted him at the club! i admit he has played well BUT i cudnt care about that, i dont want no racist tw@t playing for us!

according to The Sun Bowyer will be sold in the summer, i really hope they are right!
There has not been any transfer links with us lately, the past few days have been overshadowed by the Bowyer/Dyer situation!

[HAFRIDI]

hmm seen, so do u think dyer is ok?

and u like him as playa? i think hes ur future! rated him since ipswitch, i wanted united to get him!u guys r lucky let me tell ya fo sure!

bowyer is a retard man! u think souness sorted him out and will it affect bowyer?

b4 the dyer thing, wat were the transfer rumours or links...

[Geordie Ahmed]

Im starting to like Dyer, i thought i would never forgive him for doing what he did BUT he was worked very hard and played very well since so i am starting to like him! i dont blame him for what happened on Saturday, it was all Bowyers fault.

Dyer has never fulfilled his talent, he does have the talent BUT he hasnt fully shown it BUT recently he was playing well and this may well be the season that sees the talent of Dyer come to play!

We were linked with Alan Smith, also Feyenoord striker Dirk Kuyt and the defender Cesar

Bowyer grateful for fans' ovation


Newcastle's Lee Bowyer thanked the St James' Park faithful for being given a standing ovation after coming on as a substitute against Sporting Lisbon.

Bowyer replaced Kieron Dyer, just five days after fighting with Dyer towards the end of the 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

"It was really good, I couldn't have asked for any more," said Bowyer.

"I did an article in the local paper and asked the fans to give me a chance. Thankfully they did that and hopefully I can repay them in the future."

He added: "The fans know that they will get 100% from me every game and the support was great."

Manager Graeme Souness admitted he was glad both Dyer and Bowyer played their part in the 1-0, Uefa Cup quarter-final first leg win.

"I'm just relieved that we have got through a game and we are talking about football again," added Souness.

"There was pressure on the players out there tonight and I think that contributed to maybe the way we played at times.

"Lee and Kieron know they have been really daft and they won't do it again - but the crowd have been fantastic to both of them here.

"You can understand them going home frustrated on Saturday but they showed they are behind the

BBC Sport.


I don't understand how the Newcastle supporters can give Bowyer a standing ovation.

What is the world coming to?

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

disgraceful - he is a yob

[w4s1m786]

geordi are bowyer and dyer suspended for the weekend game against spurs?

[Uzi]

Yes they both are suspended for this weekend games.

Oh sorry i'm not Geordie.

Im sure Geordie can clarify the situation.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

i heard it was immediate suspension so must be

[Geordie Ahmed]

Yes, they are both suspended! Dyer has a 3 match domestic ban whilst Bowyer has a 4 match domestic ban (hopefully it will get extended by the FA)

I was gutted he got a standing ovation, most of the older fans i spoke to after the game were not happy about it.

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

well thats good to hear geordie

[Rob H]

They're both a disgrace to the game. Glad to see they've been banned. Glad they did it against villa though

[Geordie Ahmed]

I hate Bowyer and i know he will mess up sooner rather than later. once a thug always a thug, i know the fans wont give support him if/when he steps out of line again!

Bowyer is full of shitt, he said before the game to the local paper "I'd die for Newcastle United" :L? :L? :L? :L? Biggest pile of shitt i have ever heard, I wudnt die for the club and who the eff is that little twatt

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

bowyer is an idiot - sell him, get what u can u dont even need him IMO - in that midfield u have players like dyer, butt, jenas and robert nicely supported by faye,milner, ambrose - just add another and great depth there

[Geordie Ahmed]

Saying he is a good player is not a good enough reason to keep him, also he aint all that, he gets too much yellow cards and gets sent off too much! gets into too much trouble, its a player we would be better off without!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

i agree

[Geordie Ahmed]

rumours have it that he will be sold, getting rid of him would be like a World Class signing for me ;)+ ;)+ ;)+ ;)+ ;)+

Since Bowyer has joined Leeds he has 91 yellow cards, Dyer has 8 in that time

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

wow - 91 and he isnt even the "tough guy" of the midfield like a nicky butt, vieira, keane who u expect to get booked

[Geordie Ahmed]

Butt, Vieira, Faye etc etc game is all about making tackles, breaking up play etc BUT Bowyer is just a thug who lashes out when someone gets the better of him on the pitch

[HAFRIDI]

cant wait for real barca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

exactly - i remember thiago motta last year for barca - guy could barely manage ten minutes on pitch without getting booked!!! LOL but he had talent and protected his team mates(i.e. ronnyd) when they were having a little trouble

[Geordie Ahmed]

WIY does the barca game kick off at 7pm???

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

programme starts at 6pm on skysports 1

kick off is at 6pm - that cant be right - thats what it says on bbc site

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

is at 6pm - thats a little early!

[Uzi]

Sun Apr 10 Real Madrid v Barcelona (KO6pm)

SS1 17.55

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

is early - but inshallah will be a great game as it always is

[Geordie Ahmed]

Im glad its early! i gotta work later on

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

LOL - good news then

[Geordie Ahmed]

:D :D :D exactly, gotta think of the money ;)+ ;)+ ;)+ ;)+

[Waqar's inswinging yorker]

true

[Geordie Ahmed]

Back to the Bowyer issue, for our next home game which is not til the end of the game, i think he may get a different reaction. there were 36000 ppl at the game last night, a lot of the regulars didnt attend and i think they may well have a different opinion of the toerag! i hope thats the case! the only thing is that the match is quite a way away
