HARRY COOLS POTENTIAL TOUCHLINE PUNCH-UP

Joe Jordan and Newcastle goalkeeping coach Andy Woodman almost had a touchline punch-up after Younes Kaboul was sent off yesterday.

Woodman told Joe where to go following Jounis Kaboul's sending off for his spat with Cheik Tiote and Joe screamed back, "Any time you like, any fcuking time you like!"

Woodman didn't take up the challenge though and Harry stepped in to cool the situation.


Harry was not happy at all with Younis' dismissal and said: "His sending off was stupid. Kaboul apparently pushed his head in Tiote's face.

"It's a stupid lack of discipline. You're 1-0 up so why do you have to go and do something like that? He has to learn but he's gone and got himself a three-match ban.

"I'm disappointed with Kaboul. You can't do that, you've got to keep disciplined. He'd already had a booking and he knew the situation in the game. He knew we couldn't afford to go down to 10 men."

After the match Younis protested his innocence and claimed: "I don't know why I was sent off."

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said: "Tiote is a competitive player. He got involved in certain situations and Kaboul probably had that in his mind.

"Tiote's challenge on Kaboul was strong but fair. Perhaps he over-reacted to everything around Tiote.

"But I thought the referee wasn't going to do anything he took so long. Kaboul had to go."

Joe Jordan and Woodman shook hands at the end and Harry commented on the situation: "I think Joe can look after himself. He doesn't need me."
