Villa officials were rattled after they claimed Tindall had shushed their staff with his finger. Sharon Barnhurst, AVFC Club Secretary, said in her report: "I have taken the opportunity to talk to various people who were present both pitch-side and in the tunnel at half time and I give below our observations:

"During the first half, the NUFC assistant manager, Jason Tindall, on 3 or 4 occasions was waving his finger at “shushing” our Head Coach, Unai Emery, in a very disrespectful and antagonising manner.

"The 4th Official wasn’t helpful and didn’t try and put a stop to this. On the way back inside at half time, our Analyst, Victor Manas, asked Mr Tindall to stop antagonising Mr Emery and this escalated into a heated exchange of words.

"As the situation escalated, Mr Tindall moved towards Mr Manas in an aggressive and confrontational manner and required the intervention of our Head of Security who positioned himself between both parties to de-escalate the situation.

"Meanwhile, players and staff from both teams continued to navigate through the narrow tunnel space. While this was going on, a member of staff from NUFC (Simon Weatherstone) also pushed our Director of Football Operations (Damian Vidagany) in the back causing him to lose balance and fall over. MrManas was requested into the referees’ room at this point.

"Mr Tindall remained in the tunnel area and continued to display aggressive and vocal behaviour. Due to the confined nature of the tunnel and the number of individuals present, a concerted effort by all parties swas required to separate the teams and ensure they proceeded to their respective changing rooms without further incident.

"Subsequently, Mr Manas exited the referees’ room, and Mr Tindall was summoned to meet with the officials. Upon entering the referees’ room, Mr Tindall’s demeanour grew increasingly hostile.

"He directed accusations toward both the referees and Aston Villa staff, contributing to a tense and heated exchange behind closed doors. After several minutes, Mr Tindall exited the referees’ room. His behaviour remained aggressive, and he continued to use expletives and make gestures as he left the area.

"Mr Tindall on the 85th minute reappeared within the tunnel wearing a WHAM jumper joking around with other members of Newcastle United’s staff. He remained in the tunnel area until the full-time whistle. He then re-entered the pitch area of St James' Park to celebrate their victory and was again involved in a tense exchange ofwords with our assistant head coach.

"After the game Mr Tindall remained in the tunnel area positioned in front of the away dressing room. His behaviour was that of someone who wanted to continue heated dialogue with our staff as they tried to leave the stadium in particular Mr Manas again. It should be noted that Mr Tindall also displayed this type of behaviour last season at our match at Villa Park."

Newcastle were asked to provide CCTV footage of the incident to the FA but could not provide any. A Newcastle statement read: "The Club has undertaken its standard internal checks from (1) its safety and security team; and (2) its media team and can confirm that the Club is not in possession of any footage of any kind (including CCTV) of the incident described in the Extraordinary Incident Reports.

"Following the conclusion of the first half, Victor Manas (VM) was standing in the tunnel area waiting for NUFC Assistant Head Coach Jason Tindal (JT). VM then confronted JT inan aggressive manner and started to shout at him. JT verbally responded to VM.4. Unai Emery, Aston Villa’s Manager (UE), then confronted JT by squaring up to him andshouting at him from a close proximity. Edward Howe, the Club’s Head Coach, positioned himself in between UE and JT."

As Manas was walking backwards he stumbled against the steps but was uninjured. Newcastle say the confrontation was only verbal.

Tindall said in the hearing: "(I was) in total control of [his] emotions”

Tindall also said VM shouted “showsome f**ing respect” and “lose the finger” (this being a reference to JT having put his finger to his lips during an earlier incident in the match). He said that he had told VM to“shut up”

Tindall also said that Emery had also confronted him to which he replied: "(Are you) trying to antagonise me?" Tindall admitted he said to Emery: "What’s your problem?” or “What’s your ***king problem?”

But crucially, he had not reacted physically in any way other than trying to get past UE. Tindall denied the charges.

The commission concluded: "The Commission considered that, given the level of provocation he had received fromthree members of the AVFC staff in the passageway, including provocation from UE, theopposing team’s Manager, JT had acted in a remarkably calm and controlled manner.

"Although there was clearly some verbal exchange, JT appeared to be simply attempting to walk back to the NUFC dressing room. The Commission took JT’s prior controlled and restrained behaviour in the passageway into consideration when assessing how JT may have acted in the foyer."

The FA's list of the incident (noted via footage from broadcaster Amazon) in chronological order in the report read:

• JT enters the passageway on the left-hand side;

• VM enters the passageway towards the right-hand side, shouting and pointing at JT;

• JT, whilst continuing to walk away, turns his head, points and says something back to VM.

• UE, who was in advance of JT, having waited for JT to approach, moves across the path of JT and stands directly in front of JT, blocking his way.

• JT attempts to pass by UE.

• As JT and UE move up the stairs face-to-face, an AVFC staff member steps between JT and UE. (N.B. – there is some confusion as to the identity of this person – from the written submissions it is not written submissions it is not clear if he is Director of Football Operations at AVFC, Damian Vidagany, or the AVFC Head of Security – during the Personal Hearing he wasreferred to as the ‘Man in Black’ (‘AVFC MiB’) and as such that is how he will bereferenced henceforth in this document.)

So they’ve basically lied. Despite there being video footage from the broadcaster? 
 

Whoops :lol: 

 

I still find it hilarious that they felt the need to mention him reappearing in a WHAM jumper :lol:

What a bunch of softies those Villa staff are Roy Keane and Patrick Viera in the tunnel would have made them pull out of playing the second half due to pure fear of stepping onto the pitch again.

 

From that report, I count up to five Villa staff including Emery, being verbally and emotionally outfought by a WHAM jumper wearing, cool and calm-headed maddog. Proper 5 on 1 handicap match won by the pipe-bomb dropping Tindall.

 

@brummie sort your lot out ffs :lol:

Absolutely buckled at that like. Proper pathetic by Villa. Emery is always booting off on the touch line about something, so getting wound up about someone telling him to shut up is hilarious. 


Especially in Tindalls accent, like something off Eastenders
