Haha. That's quality.

What a pair of clowns.

Over paid clowns at that.

These cretins ought to lose their jobs (like I would if I got involved in a punch up with a colleague at work), and because they're abusing a position that thousands of people would give their right arm to be in, they also ought to have all their assets stripped from them as well.

Then go get a 9-5 job like evreyone else has to.

Tossers.

Yep, how unprofessional. They will both miss the Semi final of the FA now. This could cost Newcastle dear. The club should come down on them like a ton of bricks.

Doesn't Bowyer usually chase coloured lads down the St before fighting with them.

It's on SKY sports first at 20:35. It's the featured match (wonder why??).

Lee Bowyer, eh?

No surprise to read he's been involved in another punchup.

I bet he wasn't expecting the coloured person to fight back though; perhaps Bowyer just needed more of his mates around :hihi:

Bowyer! what a nob!:gag: The thing ought to be castrated and then made to wash every black players shirt in the premiership!!

Doesn't he realise there are children watching football!! what kind of a role model is he . . . :loopy: :loopy:

Bowyer is (and always has been) a bad and nasty influence and Dyer is a prima donna.

Pity about the reflection on Newcastle Utd.

The press conference was a joke. They reminded me of two naughty school kids been forced to say sorry.

They said that they should not have been fighting in front of 50,000 fans, what they failed to say is that they shouldn't have been fighting period.

Reports this morning indicate that both players will recieve fines, Bowyer will be hit with a possible £240,000 fine and Dyer with a smaller one but no value was put on it. Calls for Bowyer to be sacked are coming in from some fans but it would cost Newcastle a bit of money to do that, I think they will wait intil the end of the season to unload him as they will still get around £1m for him.

How silly it all was, you could imagine them in a bar doing the same thing over a spilt pint or something.

If they're club fines, I thought the max was 2 weeks wages.

No way Bowyer earns £120k a week, even as an overpaid clown.

Anyway they should make it a nice round £1m. Let's see him suffer a little. Maybe have to sell his BMW X5, or some of those fancy diamonte earings. Maybe the apartment in Dubai, or even liquidate some of his offshore tax free investments :cry:

That might console the season ticket holding 9-5'ers a little as they sit there reading their Monday morning papers, wondering why they pay their hard earned to idiots like this.

Lee Bowyer really needs to sort himself out. If he gets booted out of Newcastle it's only going to be downhill for his career. He isn't really good enough for Chelsea, Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool and the other top half sides would probably avoid him as he can be a liability on and off the pitch.

He'll end up plying his trade at West Brom.

Dyer was one of those players with the world at his feet, but will probably end up looking back on his career and reflect on what could have been.

Thanks to The Pope dying I didn't get to see it, as the Match of The Day repeat on Sunday morning was cancelled - how inconsiderate can you get!

Anyway, it seems to me that there is a lot more being said about this than would be said if they played for opposing sides.

I hate all this rubbish about "setting an example to kids", but is it a worse example to fight with a team mate than with the opposition?

I think there is a lot of posturing and phony outrage about waht happened on Saturday. OK, so two players in the same team had a minor physical spat on the field - big deal. It happens in offices and factories all over the country every day and always will. Its hardly world war three. How many of you have been in a similar situation with a collleague whom you can't stand. The fight has been a boon to the sports writers (how many pages has it filled today?) and also to others who want to pontificate and posture 9like tohe current Minister for Sport).

In this case the red mist couldn't find an outlet in verbal fisticuffs, because the plaers concerend are not particularly articulate and were full of adrenalin and frustration at the way the match was going. In Bowyer's case also, apparently he split with his partner the week before, so was probably feeling on edge anyway. The difference between commonplace aggression in a working environment and what happened on Saturday probably has more to do with financial constraints. Most workers are too poor to get the sack for fighting, whereas these players will prpbably find another club to take them (in fact they have both said they would like to leave anyway).

That may happen in some places of work but if I "verbally assaulted" someone I would find myself on a final warning and if I physically assaulted someone my feet would not touch the ground before being kicked out on my ear and quite rightly.

Its a bit like that old chestnut, steal £5000 and you go to jail, steal £500,000 and you get an OBE.

I don't think sports stars should have to be moral examplars, but they should be judged by the same standards as the rest of us.

Lee Bowyer.

One of the biggest *****s in football!

I wonder what Cloughie would have done if any of his players had carried on like that? He'd probably have run on the pitch and set fire to um!

He would probably haver clouted them both around the ear, apologised and kissed them a week later.

BBC and Newcastle confirm Bowyer has been fined 6 weeks wages, thought to be £200,000.

That's pocket money to him, a 10 match ban would have made him think twice about doing it again.

Why has Dyer not been fined ? He threw a punch! He wasn't as innocent as he claimed to be :rant:

And to top it off they may appeal against Dyer's Red card :|

Hmmm, interesting. The replays clearly show Dyer throwing a punch.

I'd give him a 5 match ban and £200,000 fine just for those awful ear rings.

That's diamond ear rings, I'll have you know.

And Dyer regards them as being very important - so much so that he once made the England team coach turn around to fetch the pair he'd left in the changing rooms.

Which wouldn't be so bad if he hadn't completely wasted his talent over the past five years.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Kieron Dyer and his lucky diamond ear rings, bless!
