Scottish Mag 3 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 GRAEME SOUNESS was a prime suspect last night after a butty battle erupted in Newcastle’s dressing room following their defeat at Wigan. A tray of sandwiches was angrily kicked into the air — leaving the changing-area walls splattered with egg, ham and cheese and chutney. Toon boss Souey steered clear of criticising ref Phil Dowd but it is clear he was furious over two bread-and-butter decisions. The Geordies lost 1-0 as Dowd and his assistant failed to spot a header from Magpies striker Alan Shearer had crossed the line. Coincidentally, Dowd — who also turned down a penalty appeal — features alongside Liverpool’s Harry Kewell in a framed picture in the dressing room. And, according to sources at the JJB Stadium, Dowd’s picture was a target for much of the grub — which was later cleaned up by Wigan’s trainees. The sound and the fury inside the Toon dressing room during the sarnie barny was the main talking point for stadium stewards who were in the tunnel after the game. Newcastle refused to comment yesterday but a Wigan spokesman revealed: “A tray of sandwiches did find its way on to the floor.” But he added: “That is nothing unusual in a Premiership dressing room — and I’m sure Paul Jewell couldn’t guarantee it never happening in our dressing room. “There was no damage to any property or the dressing room. “We will not be taking the matter further because there is no matter to take further. “It has been described to me as ‘Sandwichgate’ and a ‘buffet bloodbath’ — which is amusing but highly inaccurate. “We simply cleaned up the dressing room as we do after every game — and that was that. “Newcastle were courteous to all the staff at the JJB Stadium on Saturday. “And Graeme Souness behaved like a gentleman to all our staff, as did the rest of his staff and players.” Souey’s crusty mood will not have been improved yesterday by Dowd’s admission that Shearer’s goal SHOULD have stood. The official — using his loaf — admitted: “It was unfortunate. “You hope to get things right and it’s frustrating for the referee and everybody if it looks like it isn’t right. “Until technology comes in, this will keep happening, I suppose.” No crumb of comfort there . . . Newcastle’s only other visit to Wigan was for an FA Cup replay in 1954 — when they refused to use the dressing rooms at the humble Springfield Park ground. Instead, they changed at Wigan’s nearby public baths before travelling to the game by coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmag 336 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 You can rule out Shola. He'd have mebbes thought about kicking it up in the air but then decided he probably wouldn't get to it in time so didn't actually bother...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Bowd was in the room we could scatch Shearer from the list aswell because there was no way it crossed the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
