Teammates Fighting on the Field?

Ajaxab · 04-05-2005, 07:15 AM

I hadn't seen anyone post about the bizarre incident that occurred in the Newcastle-Aston Villa game this last weekend in which Newcastle players, Lee Bowyer and Kieron Dyer started fighting on the field. Both of them were sent off. This event would be like two hockey players on the same team deciding to fight one another on the ice and subsequently giving the other team a 5 minute, 5 on 3. It would be like a defensive lineman and a corner getting kicked out of a game for punching one another. I've never seen anything like it in twenty-five years of watching sports. I've seen teammates jawing with one another on the sidelines and you hear about some fights in practice, but physically coming to blows in front of your home fans? Absolutely incredulous.

Not only coming to blows, but coming to blows on the field, while the game is going on! Simply amazing. I couldn't believe it either when I read about it on Sunday...

I read yesterday that they fined Bowyer but not Dyer, I guess they're saying he started it

It’s the first time I have seen anything like this as well. But then Lee Bowyer has a history of violence. He was involved in an episode a few years back where they put a 19-year old guy in the hospital after a night out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/1684680.stm

Bowyer is a head case. He has been fined almost $500,000 US by his team, but at the same time you have to wonder if he is being scapegoated as the player Newcastle would rather rid themselves of in this situation.

Ksyrup · 04-05-2005, 07:36 AM

Maybe the team is owned by a collection of referees/umps from American sports, which means if they fined Dyer, the other guy probably started it and Dyer was the only one punished, for retaliating...

That picture would be priceless if the guy attempting to hold back the guy on the right was also from the other team, like on the left side. THAT would have been a bizarre pic!

God only knows what would have happened had Bellamy been on the pitch when this happened.

flere-imsaho · 04-05-2005, 12:26 PM

Any word on what it was about? Other than Bowyer's random psychosis?

condors · 04-05-2005, 12:32 PM

from what i have read it was about Dyer not passing Bowyer the ball
