Marseille (a) statement
From NUFC, Thursday:
We will be formally raising our concerns with UEFA,
Olympique de Marseille and French police in relation to the
unacceptable treatment of our supporters by police at Stade
Vélodrome following Tuesday's UEFA Champions League fixture.
Following the final whistle, our
supporters were required to remain in the stadium for a period of up
to one hour on the instruction of local authorities to ensure their
safety when leaving the stadium.
Plans were in place to move 500
supporters at a time, with a police escort to the Metro station for
onward travel to Place de la Joliette.
Our supporters were in good
spirits despite the disappointing result and waited patiently and
without incident during the holdback period.
The post-match operation was
observed at close quarters by our stewards and senior staff.
'Unnecessary and
disproportionate force'
Once the first group of
supporters was released, the police began using unnecessary and
disproportionate force to stop the remainder of our fans from moving
any further. This was actioned through a combination of pepper
spray, batons and shields, with numerous supporters being
indiscriminately assaulted by the police.
Many supporters were visibly
distressed, particularly in the upper concourse area of the away
sector, where crushing became apparent.
Our staff immediately addressed
the matter with the police, however this had limited impact on their
excessive tactics.
Fans leaving the stadium rightly
shared their distress, frustration and anger with our staff, and we
have subsequently received deeply concerning witness reports from
supporters who were in attendance.
Supporter safety and welfare
should always be of paramount importance, and we strongly condemn
the treatment of our supporters by the police during this incident.
Next steps
We will be calling on UEFA,
Olympique de Marseille and local authorities to formally investigate
this matter to ensure lessons are learned and this behaviour is not
repeated.
We are continuing to liaise with
the United Kingdom Football Policing Unit (UKFPU) as we gather
evidence on behalf of our supporters.
Were you in attendance?
We would like to hear from
supporters affected by this incident as we collate as much
supporting information as possible. This will also be shared with
UEFA, UKFPU and the Football Supporters Europe organisation.
Supporters who wish to share
their witness report should email

Champions League:
Aubameyang is l'OM
Marseille 2 Newcastle 1
Newcastle's domestic travel sickness was transported to the south
of France on Tuesday night, as they contrived to turn an interval
lead at the Orange Velodrome into a 1-2 deficit barely five minutes
after the restart.
Ahead after just six minutes thanks to a fourth goal in just three
games from Harvey Barnes, the blue-clad Magpies more than held their
own through the remainder of the opening period; both sides guilty
of some poor finishing.
Disastrous defending straight from the kick-off in the second half
then culminated in Nick Pope scurrying out of his area in hopeless
pursuit of
Darryl Bakola's through ball -
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
waltzing past the stranded 'keeper before expertly curling the ball
into the vacant net.
That brought the partisan home crowd to life and a further
collective roar of "Goal!" boomed around the stadium within
five minutes, as Aubameyang
latched on to Timothy Weah's cross to fire home from close range.
Now 36, the veteran striker was a thorn in our side back in his
Arsenal and Chelsea days, but aside from his brace here was no more
dangerous than the rest of his colleagues, despite their position
towards the top of Ligue 1.
A shell-shocked United should have had time to regroup and
conjure up an equaliser against a side that had failed to hang onto
leads twice in this competition.
But a poor second half display from Eddie Howe's side rarely
threatened the bandaged Geronimo Rulli's goal, the 'keeper injured in the first half accidentally by Dan Burn's boot.
At that stage United were looking good having defended Barnes'
smartly-finished
opener when Sandro Tonali's cross fell to him 12 yards out in the sixth minute.
And they could even have led earlier; only a goal line clearance
from Hojbjerg denying Malick Thiaw a first Toon goal with a looping
header that followed Tonali's corner.
Anthony Gordon could have doubled Newcastle's lead in first half added time but failed
to collect Joe Willock's cross properly, with Rulli well off his line.
Willock was one of three changes to the side that had beaten
Manchester City on Saturday, replacing Joelinton while Gordon
returned from injury and Burn
started following his one match Premier League suspension.
Howe made a triple substitution just after the hour with Lewis Miley,
Anthony Elanga and Lewis Hall replacing Tino Livramento, Fabian
Schar and Jacob Murphy but the changes couldn't muster a leveller; Nick Woltemade and Anthony Elanga's introduction also
in vain.
Elanga did go close with one effort that was saved by Rulli and
the patched-up custodian was also equal to a fierce shot by Willock.
The evening was summed up by a Tonali free kick in a good position
that sailed high and wide and in the final seconds, Pope's woeful
attempt to launch a ball into the box.
A disappointing end to an unsatisfactory performance that again
showed the side's fragility away from home after going in front -
this the third successive league and cup away game that we've held a
1-0 lead but left empty-handed.
And after his praiseworthy display in the victory over Manchester
City, there was justified criticism once again of Pope's
decision-making and below-par distribution.
After five games the Magpies have nine points and sat eighth
in the table - which became eleventh following Wednesday's games.
Full match report to follow.
Team: Pope, Livramento (Hall 61), Schar (L.Miley 61), Thiaw,
Burn, Willock (Ramsey 72), Tonali, Guimaraes, Barnes, Gordon (Woltemade
72), J.Murphy (Elanga 61).
Subs n/u: Ramsdale, M.Thompson, Alabi, Botman, Joelinton,
A.Murphy.
Booked: Willock, Gordon, Burn.
Goal: Barnes 6.
OM: Rulli,
Pavard, Balerdi, Emerson,
Weah, Vermeeren, Hojbjerg, Bakola (O'Riley 62), Paixao,
Greenwood (Gomes 88), Aubameyang (Vaz 90+2).
Subs n/u: De Lange, Van Neck, Egan-Riley, Garcia, Kondogbia,
Mmadi, Nadir.
Booked: Greenwood, Vermeeren.
Goals: Aubameyang, 46, 50.
Crowd: 64,521.
Newcastle were allocated 3,000 tickets.
The pre-game meeting point was trouble-free, travelling supporters
escorted in groups down to platform level at Joliette Metro after
match ticket checks took place.
Access into the ground was also trouble-free, fans whiling away the
hours to kick-off trying to buy food and drink from the small and
inefficient catering facilities.
Surrounded by the inevitable netting, there didn't appear to be any
issues inside the stadium, aside from some liquids thrown from
adjacent home sections after both goals and after full time.
It was a different story post-match however; those in the lower tier
looked to have a trouble-free exit but elongated exits affecting
those loftier areas of the away section.
The holdback was initially trouble-free before the police moved
positions, causing a crush that the police tried to "remedy" by
using shields, batons and pepper spray.
The situation was exacerbated by treacherous conditions underfoot
caused by overflowing toilets that people were forced to stand in
for over an hour - as one witness said, there was an equal chance of
a fat lip or trench foot.
An attempt to remedy the situation that the police had created saw
officers escort lasses and older fans away from the crush - only for
those fans to be forced back up the stairs they'd come from after
more pepper spraying.

After the game Eddie Howe said:
"I thought the effort was good. I think the start of the second
half, obviously, was a big one for us - 15 minutes at the start of
the second half, I thought, cost us.
"I thought we handled the atmosphere really well in the first half
and even towards the end of the game, I felt there were chances for
us to score
"I think the goal straight away, near enough, after half-time,
changes the whole feeling around the stadium and the game itself.
"It was just a lapse of concentration from our perspective, I think.
Then we didn't maybe react well enough to that. We conceded the
second and from there it was difficult."
On Nick Pope:
"Nick has saved us many, many times, he made some really good saves
against Manchester City just two days ago, that's the life of a
goalkeeper. But I certainly back him."
Referee: Maurizio Mariani (ltaly).
The Rome-born official had a pretty decent game, spotting dives and
shirt pulls that many PL refs may have missed.
VAR: Marco Di Bello (Italy).
Stats:
Harvey Barnes netted his fourth and Newcastle's 50th
Champions League goal, which took him into the top five scorers for
the club in that competition:
7: Shearer
4: Asprilla,
H.Barnes, Beresford, Gordon
3: Sh.Ameobi
2: Bellamy, Burn, Dyer, Joelinton L.LuaLua, Solano, Viana
1: Almiron, J.Barnes, Griffin, Isak, Ketsbaia, S.Longstaff,
Pearce, Schar, Speed, Woltemade
Barnes' goal wasn't the quickest scored by a Newcastle player in the
CL: Lomana LuaLua and Alan Shearer both scoring after five minutes against Leverkusen
away and home respectively during the 2002/03 campaign.
United conceded a goal in this competition after 339 minutes
of play and then another four minutes later.
This was Newcastle's second visit to this venue, following a
0-2 loss there in May 2004 that ended their UEFA Cup run at the
semi-final stage. 57,500 were present for that, before the stadium
was rebuilt and extended.
Magpies @ French League sides:
1977/78 Bastia lost 1-2 Cannell (UE)
1996/97 Metz drew 1-1 Beardsley (UE)

Youth
League:
U19s lose again
Marseille U19s 2
Newcastle U19s 0
Pointless in their previous four U19 UEFA Youth League ties, United's youngsters
failed to break their duck on Tuesday afternoon, beaten by a goal in each half by Marseille at the Stade Francis Turcan home
of FC Martigues.
The hosts had only one point from a possible 12, but went ahead on
13 minutes when Said Remadnia took Antoine Valero's pass and clipped
the ball over goalkeeper Roman Dowell.
The scorer was booked for removing his shirt in
celebration.
Newcastle's task was made more difficult following the dismissal of Anthony Munda
for a rash tackle midway through the second half but the ten men held out
until the fifth added minute when Valero struck
from close range after Dowell fumbled a shot.
Team: Dowell, Shahar, Old, Watts, Charlton, Munda, Finneran
(Taylor 74), Bailey (Brayson 62), Seldon (Ferreira 62), Wooster
(Johnson 71), Seung-soo.
Subs n/u: Jones, Durrant, Moran, Pinnington, Yildiz.
Booked: Bailey, Seung-soo.

ST holders have 24
hours to apply, 24 hours to determine success, 48 hours to
buy.
Success is based on the loyalty point total calculated from applications
received. Any applications from ST holders with less points are entered into a
ballot, which will have taken place before tickets go on sale.
The purchase window is divided into two sections determined by a loyalty
point division that alters for each game - those successful applicants above
that point division get a couple of hours head start.
Note that emails from NUFC confirming success may arrive after the purchase
window opens - if you think you qualify because of your points total, just log
on and complete your purchase regardless.
Tickets not bought by successful applicants within 48 hours are offered
to unsuccessful applicants with the next highest loyalty points total. NUFC contact them directly.

Born Or Died:
1965 Scott Sellars
born, Sheffield.
(1993-95)
 A well-liked figure during his time at SJP, "Scoot" began
his career with Leeds United before moving on to Blackburn Rovers.
Signed during March 1993 for £700K, Sellars debuted alongside fellow new
arrival Mark Robinson in a 2-2 home draw with Charlton Athletic later that
month.
Scoring his first Newcastle goal during a 6-0 demolition of Barnsley at
Gallowgate, Scott then netted a memorable free
kick to beat the mackems and virtually seal promotion.
Missing the opening months of the following season due to a bout of pleurisy, Sellars
enjoyed a good run in the first team until further fitness problems saw him
sidelined for a ten month period from November 1994.
With David Ginola coming to prominence, Sellars was declared surplus to
requirements and sold to Bolton Wanderers in December 1995 - United making
£500K profit.
Sellars later served Huddersfield Town and Danish club Aarhus, turning down the
chance of a return to the UK in 2001 with Northampton Town before subsequently
joining Mansfield Town.
A trial at non-league Kettering Town followed before returning to Field Mill and coaching
Stags youngsters - taking on a similar role at Sheffield United in 2003. A spell as
assistant to Chesterfield manager Lee Richardson - a former team mate from his Blackburn
days - followed, before 2009 saw Sellars added to the coaching staff at Manchester City's youth Academy.
Subsequently heading up City's youth operations, Scott returned to SJP in
September 2013 as part of the Newcastle United Legends side who gathered to
face AC Milan Glorie in Steve Harper's farewell.
Ending his time at Manchester City in 2014, Sellars was soon snapped up by
Wolves to coach their reserve side.
He left Molineux in November 2022.
1969 David Robinson
born, Walkergate. (1986-92)
Striker who came through the junior ranks at SJP to appear for
the reserves, with periodic call-ups to the first team - although he was never
to start a competitive senior match.
David's debut came at the age of 18, when he replaced John Robertson in a 1-0
home loss to Arsenal in November 1988.
Robinson's lone strike came against Reading at SJP in an FA Cup in January 1990
on his first outing of the season - leaving him some way short of Mick Quinn
and Mark McGhee, who grabbed 34 and 25 goals respectively that season.
After a spell on loan at Peterborough United in 1991, the Wallsend Boys Club graduate
was released by Newcastle, moved on to Reading and subsequently Blackpool.
Moving into non-league circles at Gateshead and Bishop Auckland, David spent
time on trial with Lincoln City and later added both Cambridge United and Berwick Rangers
to his CV before finishing up at Whitley Bay.
A NUFC.com reader reports that Robbo later turned out in the Tyneside Sunday
League for Heaton Hussar.
1983 Aaron Labonte
born, Middlesbrough. (2000-03)
Academy defender who failed to make the transition to reserve team level and was released in 2003.
Trials at Livingston, Hartlepool United and Sheffield Wednesday (appearing for the Owls
second string against Newcastle) followed, before Aaron did enough to win a permanent deal with Dunfermline Athletic.
Debuting against Rangers in the SPL during September 2003, he made 90 appearances at East End Park between 2003 and 2007.
Labonte ended his first season at the Pars with a Scottish FA Cup loser's medal, beaten 1-3 by Celtic at Hampden Park.
However, he wasn't selected when the two sides met again in the 2007 final and went out on loan to Irish side Finn Harps in 2008.
That transfer was then made permanent when Aaron's Dunfermline deal expired in May 2008 but he left the Donegal
side a year later.
2011 Death of Gary Speed, 42.
The peace of a Sunday morning was
shattered when the Football Association of Wales announced the death of their national team
Manager, sending the football world into a genuine state of shock.
A Cheshire police spokesman then said:
"At 7.08am this morning, Sunday 27 November, police were informed of an
incident at Aldford Road, Huntington.
"Officers went to the scene where a 42-year-old man was found dead. There
are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and next of kin have been
informed."
Further quotes confirmed that the man was found hanged and identification
confirmed that it was Gary Speed.
Universally admired across football, the Welsh international midfielder played
285 time for the Magpies between February 1998 and May 2004, scoring 40
goals.
Gary was part of the side beaten at Wembley in 1998 and 1999 FA Cup Finals as
well as the 2000 semi-final there.
Awarded the MBE in June 2010, Speed completed the London Marathon that year to
help raise funds for the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation, commenting then
that:
"The best years I had there (at SJP) were with Sir Bobby Robson. He was
a lovely man."
And exactly nine years before his death, Speed was part of the Newcastle side in
Champions League action against Inter Milan at SJP.
Speaking fondly of his time on Tyneside despite departing for Bolton in
a move seen as premature in some quarters, Gary's professionalism, dignity and
intelligence made him one of football's good guys.
The previous Saturday had seen him appear as a guest on BBC's "Football Focus" show
alongside Alan Shearer.
Needless to say, his passing was a massive shock, still bordering on the unbelievable.
In short, someone who graced the black and white shirt and is sadly
missed. RIP.

A game which had simmered threatened to get out of hand,
following a penalty award to the home side and according
to the Athletic News reporter, the referee "called
the whole of the players around him for a lecture which
surely could have been no less than a general
caution."
 1937 Fulham (a)
2-1 (1-1)
Division Two
Park(42), Smith(46)
Warburton(35)
14,000
United's first
away win of the season was due in part to home 'keeper Alf Tootill, who
judged that Jack Smith's free
kick in the opening minute of the second half was going wide.
It wasn't.
A section of home fans protested outside Craven Cottage
after full time, calling on Fulham officials to come out
and face them.
1943 Darlington (h)

Facing the bottom of the league side, Newcastle were
looking to chalk up their seventh successive victory, but
despite taking a two goal lead were no match for a
Terriers side for which 35 year-old Peter Doherty hit a
hat-trick.
 1954 Huddersfield Town
(h) 2-2 (1-2)
Division One
Curry(21), White(88)
Watson(3), Burrell(40)
36,409
United's indifferent form at Gallowgate continued with
this barely deserved point - despite the fact that the
visitors had lost the services of goalkeeper Jack Wheeler
before half-time.
Incapacitated by a collision with Newcastle's Bill Curry,
Wheeler remained on the field in an outfield role but
played little part in the game. His place was taken
between the posts by striker Jimmy Glazzard.
 1957 Hearts (Scotland) (h) 2-0 (2-0)
Friendly
Eastham(28), White(44)
10,260
A Wednesday night friendly under the floodlights at Gallowgate finally saw
the hosts defeat the Jambos for the first time in five
visits to Tyneside during as many years.
Team: Simpson,
Keith, McMichael, Scoular, Nesbitt, Franks, Hughes,
Eastham White, Bell, Mitchell.

2-3
(2-0)
Division One
Thompson(16), Iley(40)
Woodward(66pen), Jones(90), T.Wagstaff(90+3)
13,880
The Magpies were good value for their half time lead
on a frozen Bramall Lane pitch, with Dave Hilley setting
up both goals.
Ron McGarry's needless handball gave
the Blades a foothold in the game, but at the end of
normal time Newcastle still led and many home fans had
walked away in disgust.
Enter Mick Jones, who blasted past visiting 'keeper Gordon
Marshall from 18 yards. And with almost the last kick of
the game, Tony Wagstaff broke away and won it.

after David Craig netted a rare goal - almost exactly a
year after his most recent effort.
 1974
Southampton (a)
0-1 (0-0)
Texaco Cup Final, First Leg
Channon(58)

United left The Dell one goal down ahead of the second leg, after
future Magpie Mick Channon beat Tony Bell.
 1976 Queen's Park
Rangers (h) 2-0 (2-0)
Division One
Cannell(12), Burns(14)
39,045
Attacking the Leazes End, a committed first half display from Newcastle made
sure of the points, with Paul Cannell heading in the opener.
Alan Gowling then centred for Mickey Burns to double the lead and Gowling also
came close to getting on the scoresheet, heading against the Rangers
crossbar.
 1982
Cambridge United (h) 2-0
(2-0)
Division Two
Martin(23), McDermott(35)
20,385
Terry McDermott hit his
first goal since returning to United as Howard

were the Dynamo Kiev side that Newcastle had beaten in a
friendly at SJP few days earlier.
 1988 Manchester United
(h) 0-0
(0-0)
Division One
20,234
A tedious Sunday afternoon, when Newcastle never
looked in danger of breaking their four match scoring
drought in this televised game and their visitors were
equally inept.

1989 After a year
in the manager's chair at The Victoria Ground, Bobby
Moncur resigned as Manager of struggling Hartlepool
United.
 1993 Arsenal (a)

Premier League
Beardsley(62)
Wright(16), Smith(60)
36,091
United were undone by set piece goals from Ian Wright and
Alan Smith, with Steve Bould making a nuisance of himself
at the near post on each occasion.
Peter Beardsley got one back in front of the
travelling army of away fans congregated at the Clock End,
but no equaliser followed.
Full back John Beresford later recalled this Highbury misadventure as
follows:
"This was the first time that Kevin Keegan's
policy of not having worked on certain tactical things
before a match caught up with us.
"They caught us out quickly and we were chasing the
game after that, and they did us again with the same trick
because we couldn't get it sorted while the game was going
on."
Shame they didn't talk about it at half time...

Our second-ever visit to the Riverside ended in our first defeat there,
despite Alan Shearer netting for the sixth game in a row.

A rapid bout of scoring by the Magpies settled this
top-flight tie well before half time,
Alan Shearer hitting his 99th and 100th Newcastle
goals.
Rather inaccurately, Wor Al commented: "Jackie Milburn scored over 200 so I can scratch that.
I don't think I'll catch him though hopefully there's a
few more."

Behind almost immediately, defeat seemed inevitable when Craig Bellamy

Although the ten men
performed well, Hector Cuper's side (who included future
Mag Emre) had the game wrapped up by half time.

Once Smiljanic had turned a Robert corner into his own goal in the
early stages, the tie was as good as won - our 3-2 first leg advantage meaning
the visitors needed to score three.

Everton caught us napping seconds after the break
when Joseph Yobo rose to meet a corner to head the only
goal of the game.
By that point we should
have been ahead and the home side down
to ten men, when James McFadden clearly stopped Shola
Ameobi's goalbound effort with his arm.
Incredibly, however, both referee
Howard Webb and his linesman missed the incident.

further capital gains at Selhurst Park thanks to strike pair
Callum Wilson and Joelinton.
The Brazilian's pass on 88 minutes saw the Englishman plant the ball through the legs of Eagles 'keeper Vincente
Guaita and barely 60 seconds later Wilson returned the favour.
