LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 http://www.nufc.com/ Old boys expose young generation Gateshead 2 Newcastle U21s 0 Peter Beardsley's U21 side began their public preparations on Friday evening, when they provided the opposition in a testimonial game for Gateshead defender Jamie Curtis. Before kickoff, an immaculately observed silence was held in memory of John Alder and Liam Sweeney (John was also a Gateshead FC season ticket holder). Ex-Magpie Marcus Maddison opened the scoring after 15 minutes, slamming home from the edge of the box for his third consecutive goal in this fixture - having netted for Gateshead last season and Newcastle back in 2012. The lead was then doubled on the half hour when another ex-Mag Greg McDermott - watched by his father Terry - headed in a cross from fellow SJP old boy Lewis Guy. A pathetic display from Newcastle never remotely looked like seeing them find the net, Tynesiders custodian Adam Bartlett making just one routine stop to record a clean sheet against his former club. And only two noteworthy blocks from opposite number Brendan Pearson after the break prevented the home side from increasing their lead - with the woodwork denying Gateshead substitute Kanda Rankine late on. Long-serving defender Curtis was substituted in the closing moments to loud applause, with 39 year-old assistant manager Darren Caskey taking his place. It's over 20 years since Caskey was in the Spurs side beaten at White Hart Lane by two goals from the man in charge of United U21s tonight, Peter Beardsley. With the senior squad en route to New Zealand and outcasts Hatem Ben Arfa and Sylvain Marveaux nowhere to be seen, competitive first team experience in the side was restricted to Shane Ferguson and Gael Bigirimana. Sadly though, neither were remotely interested in making a positive contribution - their younger and inexperienced colleagues seemingly incapable of doing so. Aside from the financial boost to the home side by the healthy crowd (benefiting testimonial recipient Curtis on this occasion), it's questionable what merit there is in footballing terms by continuing to stage this game. Given the tragic events that were commemorated before kickoff, this proved to be a suitably sombre spectacle, accurately summarised as a "predominantly one-sided affair" by the official Heed website. Team: Pearson, Williams (L.Smith 46), Ferguson, Bigirimana, Streete (McKinnon 57), Gillesphey, Roberts, Drennan, Quinn, Barlaser, Gilliead (Heardman 46). Sub n/u: Robinson. GFC: Bartlett, Baxter, Wilson, Curtis (Caskey 87), Clark (Allan 46), Turnbull, McDermott (Mitchell 61), Shaw (Lynch 61, Guy, Rodman (Rankine 61), Maddison (Kanda 61). Sub n/u: none. Crowd: 1,514.

"With the senior squad en route to New Zealand and outcasts Hatem Ben Arfa and Sylvain Marveaux nowhere to be seen" No. They are saying they weren't in the playing squad for this game. No Obertan or Gutierrez (has he even returned?) either. NUFC is no doubt trying to move them all on. NUFC won't want any of them picking up an injury.

Guest bimpy474 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 So Pardew wants Marv, Obertan, Jonas and Hatem gone, yet they aren't given games to keep up fitness or just to be able to play. Is that not petty beyond belief. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why when Marv was first signed but not fit, did he play for the U21's to get some fitness, now Pardew wants him out he gets no playing time at any level. Something is just not right.

You can get injured in training though, see Ryan Taylor for that. I think it's just vindictive actions to get the players to leave, you'll only get football if you go type of thing.

toontownman Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's a young group for sure. Think we lost two, won two and go into a secondary pool final now against a Russian team. Think I read that on .com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
