The referee misread his watch and blew for half-time after just 30 minutes before realising his error!

Neither manager was present for this kickabout, Magpies boss Stan Seymour attending the Hibernian versus Partrick Thistle game as he scouted for an inside forward.

His opposite number Dave Steele meanwhile was similarly tasked at Raith Rovers versus Airdrieonians.

Team: King, Graham, Corbett, Harvey, Denmark, Crowe, Milburn, Hamilton, Stubbins, Wayman, Hair.

A fine display by goalkeeper Ronnie Simpson saw United take a point from their visit to Craven Cottage.

Fulham were managed by Gateshead-born Bill Dodgin Senior, his son and fellow Tynesider Bill Dodgin Junior playing at right back and praised for his handling of Bobby Mitchell.

The Owls won 3-1,Reg Davies on target for the hosts.

1-0 up through Jackie Milburn's fine 35 yarder, Newcastle were pegged back when ex-Magpie Tommy Thompson levelled.

The in-form visitors won it when a cross from former West Auckland Town player Les Dagger (a player United had scouted) was headed home by Sammy Taylor.

1970 Newcastle reserves were in friendly action against Northern Premier League side Gateshead at Redheugh Park.

Ex-Magpie junior Artie Lumsden beat John Hope from the penalty spot to give the hosts a fifth minute lead.

Gordon Hindson's 18th minute centre was then headed in by Phil McGovern and the striker won it with to a 75th minute shot.

A crowd of 2,717 were present.

Visiting striker David Cross contrived to head against the post on 36 minutes and his side were made to pay for that bad miss - also contributing to their own downfall by twice beating their own goalkeeper Bill Glazier.

Despite the margin of victory, not everything at Gallowgate was rosy, home fans booing Tommy Gibb and shouting for Jimmy Smith - although he wasn't in the squad.

Tony Cunningham made his debut in blizzard conditions, which enveloped SJP shortly before kick-off (as the PA was blasting out KC & The Sunshine Band...)

The rapid snowfall required the introduction of an orange ball which Peter Beardsley duly slotted past Brandon-born goalkeeper Stephen Pears for a deserved late leveller. 

Ron Atkinson's team had led at half-time through Kevin Moran, while Gordon Strachan played for the Reds on his 28th birthday.

A midweek trip to Fratton Park saw the Magpies lose their unbeaten record for the year at the ninth time of asking, deservedly beaten by Jim Smith's side.

Kevin Keegan's side remained top of the league but a miserable night when little went right ended with David Kelly crashing an 85th minute penalty against the bar and into the crowd - former Pompey player John Beresford having been bundled over.

1999 The departure of John Barnes to Charlton Athletic eased the wage bill at Gallowgate, but the exclusive fashion shops in Jesmond lost one of their best customers....

2000 Staying with John Barnes, his reign as coach at Celtic hit an all-time low as they were dumped out of the cup by Inverness Caledonian Thistle. 

The Sun reported the game with the headline: "Super Caley Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious" - inspired by the 1970s Liverpool Echo effort "Super Cally goes ballistic, QPR atrocious" relating to Anfield winger Ian Callaghan.

Another three goal salvo at SJP - for a third successive game - while Alan Shearer netted for the fourth consecutive game, all after a pre-game silence for the late Princess Margaret.

Jermaine Jenas made his debut from the bench as United sat in second spot, level on points with Liverpool, with a game in hand. Bobby Robson telling reporters:

"Whether we can do it or not I don't know. I don't think we can but what it will take - six matches at home, six matches away and if we win all 12 then we will win the title - it's as simple as that." 

We won five - and finished fourth.

We started eight points behind leaders Arsenal and five points behind Man United with a game in hand on both. Thierry Henry gave the Gunners a half-time lead but United deservedly equalised through the right boot of Robert.

Unfortunately, the crowd and the watching Sky audience were robbed of a fantastic final 30 minutes when Robert was sent off for two bookings - the second for not retreating from a free-kick, although Bergkamp took full advantage of the Frenchman's slowness.

2005 Red faces for Aaron Hughes and his Northern Ireland side, as they suffered a 0-1 home defeat in a friendly against Canada.

The Newcastle defender struck the post in the first half but couldn't make any headway against a side who were a man short for three quarters of the game at Windsor Park.

2006 A pointless meeting of two Magpies as Nigeria beat Senegal 1-0 in Cairo to win the African Nations Cup Third place playoff. Oba Martins and Abdoulaye Faye were both absent when United played Villa three days later, but not missed as we won 2-1.

2006 The Reserves breezed into the next round of the Northumberland Senior Cup after dispatching Ashington 8-0 at Kingston Park.

Striker Carl Finnigan led the way with a hat trick, Liam Atkin added two more and Phil Cave, Matty Pattison and Daryl Smylie all found the target.

United lost the top spot that they'd held since October after a wretched evening at Pride Park - West Bromwich Albion's 2-0 home win over Scunthorpe United putting them ahead on goal difference.

Our 15-game unbeaten league record looked in doubt once Rob Hulse headed the Rams in front - soon after Robbie Savage avoided dismissal for clattering Wayne Routledge.

Referee Anthony Taylor then disallowed an effort from Andy Carroll straight from the restart for an earlier free kick to United. However he called a foul by Jonas Gutierrez on Michael Tonge correctly and Kris Commons beat Steve Harper from the spot.

Shaun Barker then fired in a third to spark further celebrations from Nigel Clough - and extend Derby's unbeaten record against Newcastle to four games.

2012 The U18s progressed into the Quarter-Finals of the FA Youth Cup after a 2-1 extra-time win over QPR at SJP.

Following successive wins over Aston Villa and Chelsea, Gareth Bale's brace ended United's mini revival at White Hart Lane.

Bale converted an early free-kick but United deservedly levelled through Yoan Gouffran's first goal - and the first scored by a Newcastle player on this ground in four visits. 

However, Bale then benefited from Steven Taylor's hesitancy and Fabricio Coloccini's inadequacy to beat Tim Krul.

2015 The U21s lost their unbeaten home league record for the season with a 1-2 loss to Arsenal at SJP.

A 93rd minute header from Austin Lipman won it, although United retained pole position in the table - ahead of the Gunners.

Dan Barlaser had equalised a first half strike from Alex Iwobi. Future Magpie Stefan O'Connor was in the visiting side.

2017 A ground nicknamed The Morgue proved to be the graveyard for Newcastle's Senior Cup ambitions - after 120 minutes of play and 24 penalty kicks.

2022 United's youngsters exited from the FA Youth Cup at the Fifth Round stage on a disastrous night at Bloomfield Road. 

Leading 2-0 at the break, Blackpool rounded off their 3-0 success late on when visiting goalkeeper Max Thompson was caught off his line and beaten from some 40 yards out by Jake Daniels.
