Given dressing room rage

[Jimbo 175]

SHAY GIVEN went berserk in the Newcastle dressing room after the home defeat by Hull.

 

The Republic of Ireland goalkeeper, a highly-respected figure at the club he has loyally served for 11 years, was fuming at the mess United find themselves in.

 

 

As the shell-shocked players sat down to digest the 2-1 loss and the events of the past fortnight — which have seen manager Kevin Keegan quit then almost return — Given lost it.

 

 

A dressing-room insider said: “Shay was going absolutely nuts. He cannot believe what is happening at Newcastle.

 

 

“He was flinging things around the dressing room and getting very annoyed.

 

 

“He was saying how the board should be talking to the players, telling them what is going on instead of hiding.

 

 

“The rest of the squad look up to Shay and have never seen him so angry.

 

 

“He is a real professional and doesn’t think this is any way to run a club.”

 

 

Given has made 440 appearances for Toon, while veteran midfielder Nicky Butt is another finding the situation intolerable.

 

 

The insider added: “Nicky was at Manchester United where these sorts of things do not happen.

 

 

“He is completely frustrated by what is going on.”

THE lunacy of St James’ Park reached new levels of farce on Saturday when injured players Obafemi Martins and Habib Beye were stopped from entering the ground because they did not have a ticket.

 

 

A bystander told SunSport: “It was unbelievable. The security man told them Ashley had said no one was allowed in without a ticket.

 

 

“When they argued the security guy said there were no exceptions. It was a really embarrassing situation. Finally, a bloke who seemed like the head of security let them in.”

If you ever wanted proof of exactly what Ashley see Newcastle as, the above is it.

It's all about the money.

Interesting if the players are as in the dark, it's one (bad idea) to hide from the fans, but it's utter madness to leave your players hanging too.

 

Or has he received threats from them too.

I'd be happy for Barton to spend another couple of weeks on the sideline if he was to lay one on the pathetic Ashley.

I can just imagine the dressing room insider vividly remembering Shay's words before leaving the ground and conveniently meeting a Sun reporter in the local.

This story is still made up.

Never fails to amuse me that when it suits us, rumours and gossip are good things. When it's not beneficial something like this would have been poo-pooed straight away.

You have absolutely no idea whether it's made up or not tbf (neither have I).

Who knows what is what these days. Clearly a lot of what seemed tripe over the last 6 months wasn't.
