Mick Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 We'll be top of the injury table before we even kick off Barton, Duff, Emre? Luque? Owen? Taylor? Ameobi? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 We only appointed a new club doctor a couple of years ago, we got him from Celtic iirc, although I also think he may have left very recently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Wright has been here since Bobby's days though hasn't he. Don't know about the other medical staff. I'd be interested to hear if Allardyce has made any changes in this area of the club yet? Have any of his old Bolton staff come over, we were linked with a few but there's been no confirmation? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Barton slips into talisman role for Newcastle Carlisle 1 Newcastle 1 Simon Rushworth at Brunton Park ANOTHER Saturday afternoon and another Newcastle United team-sheet missing its most famous name. Supporters of the black and white cause have become used to the regular, and often sustained, absences of Michael Owen during the England forward’s two unproductive campaigns on Tyneside, but a familiar situation becomes no less painful with time. After the serious injuries of the past, a thigh strain should cause little concern, but Newcastle’s fans have long since learned to err on the side of caution as far as their favourite-in-waiting is concerned. With neither Owen nor the former England Under21 forward Shola Ameobi available to face League One promotion hopefuls Carlisle United, Newcastle’s manager, Sam Allardyce, asked the unsettled duo Kieron Dyer and Obafemi Martins to carry the weight of the Magpies’ attack alongside the Academy graduate Andy Carroll. All three spurned first-half opportunities but it was the identity of the visiting captain which proved the most curious aspect of a keenly-contested friendly. Joey Barton, on police bail as an investigation into his alleged assault on former teammate Ousmane Dabo continues, does not appear to be the best-equipped leader of a traditionally disparate dressing room. Where Barton was tipped to succeed renowned trouble-makers Craig Bellamy and Lee Bowyer as the Gallowgate End’s new antihero, it is increasingly apparent that Allardyce sees the England international as a possible heir to Alan Shearer. Whether the armband inspires maturity remains to be seen but Newcastle’s £5.8m close-season capture barely put a foot wrong during 69 minutes of controlled aggression. What else Allardyce learned from this necessary exercise in preseason match fitness remained unclear. The Czech Republic international centre-half, David Rozehnal, was rarely asked to break sweat against an earnest yet limited Carlisle strikeforce. However, the £2.9m summer signing from French side Paris St Germain was one of several Newcastle defenders at fault when the Carlisle defender, Danny Livesey, opened the scoring for the home team in the 56th minute with a powerful header. Cameroon international Geremi made his Newcastle debut 12 minutes later and the midfielder, signed from Chelsea this summer, immediately tested Carlisle’s goalkeeper, Keiren Westwood, with a trademark free kick. But it was the Peruvian midfielder, Nolberto Solano, who salvaged some pride for the Magpies with a fine right-footed volley in second-half stoppage time. Carlisle United: Westwood; Raven, Livesey, Murphy, Aranalde; Bridge-Wilkinson, Thirlwell, Smith; Gall, Hackney, Graham. Substitutes: Howarth, Lumsdon, Carlton, Joyce, Arnison, McDermott, Dalton, Kirkup Newcastle United: Harper; Carr, Rozehnal, Ramage, N’Zogbia; Butt, Solano, Barton; Martins, Carroll, Dyer. Substitutes: Milner, Geremi, Huntington, Forster, Krul, Bertram, Francis, Lough, LuaLua, Troisi Scorers: Carlisle United: Livesey 56 Newcastle United: Solano 90 Referee: M Pike Not being reported. Could this be a mistake? Or am I just reaching at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohmelads Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 It would be brilliant news if SSN have messed it up. Allardyce makes no mention of it in his post match interviews, even when he's talking about why he rested Ameobi, Given etc as precautions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crumpy is usually right on medical stuff if i remember. Barton would have had to have an x-ray first, thats why it didn`t get instantly reported.
