Steven Taylor

[Thomas]

Spesielt hvis Taylor har oppført seg som en drittsekk over lengre tid, så er det ikke rart at Carroll blir forbanna. Men reaksjonen fra Carroll kan ikke rettferdiggjøres uansett.  Og derfor kan det jo være at Tayls ikke har noe interesse av å anmelde saken: Fordi da må han fortelle årsaken bak, noe som gjør hans slibrige atferd til allemannseie. Nå derimot er det kun spekulasjoner.

Forøvrig helt rett håndtert av klubben: Ingen kommentarer, ingen pressemeldinger. Keep it in house, rydd opp i saken og gå videre..

THE one thing that the
soap opera called Newcastle
United guarantees is that
even the most optimistic
episodes are undoubtedly
spiced with needless adversity,
tragi-comedy and selfdestruction.
As the more cynical hacks
in the sporting corps of the
North East press pack usually
put it: ?The Toon can always
snatch defeat from the jaws
of victory.?
And so the penchant for implosion
reared its ugly head
again as we approached the
decisive Easter period with
the Magpies having established
what I consider an
unassailable position at the
head of the Championship.
Manager Chris Hughton
has largely kept the lid on the
dressing room madness that
was part and parcel of the
Newcastle United story for
most of their 16-year Premier
League era.
I use the word ?largely? because
I was well aware of incidents
of indiscipline
involving some younger
members of the squad that
were successfully covered up
by the Toon top brass in a
season that has been pleasantly
productive on the pitch.
It was maybe the fact that
some of these youthful excesses
were successfully kept
out of the media that Newcastle
felt emboldened to try
and suppress any reportage of
the training ground bust-up
between striker Andy Carroll
and central defender Steven
Taylor that saw the former
England under-21 skipper
suffer a double fracture to his
jaw.
When a clearly traumatized
Taylor was seen entering a
public ward of an NHS hospital
in Newcastle holding
his jaw on Sunday, March 21,
newspapers and journalists
were flooded with calls from
anxious Toon fans.
As Carroll was also spotted
in hospital on the same day
with injuries to both his
hands, it didn?t require a
Sherlock Holmes to deduce
from the evidence that an altercation
involving the two
Newcastle players had taken
place.
Within a very short space of
time the details of the incident
which took place while
Taylor was having an ice bath
at the Magpies training centre
at Little Benton were soon
being relayed to the media by
eye witnesses.
My information came directly
from the camp of one
of the players involved as
well as from other Newcastle
insiders.
From what I was told, it
was a shameful, outrageous,
incident that should not go
unpunished.
In just about any other work
place in the land, the offender
would have been suspended
pending an internal investigation.
Newcastle?s response to a
clearly unacceptable incident
that left a star player valued
in the £8million bracket with
injuries so serious that he
couldn?t work was to act as if
absolutely nothing had happened.
Publicly, Newcastle were in
denial. Privately, there were
admissions that the silence
was because of a ?delicate?
legal situation.
Andy Carroll is on bail until
April 29 on a charge of assault
occasioning actual bodily
harm after a completely
separate incident at a Newcastle
city centre night club.
That allegation will be heard
in a public court of law over
which the football club has
no jurisdiction or influence to
keep the matter out of the
press.
The wall of silence Newcastle
erected over the internal
incident has done their
reputation no good.
By failing to come clean on
the incident they are guilty of
moral cowardice. And their
stance contrasts sharply with
their attitude to previous indiscretions
committed by
players.
We were told back in 2008
that such was Mike Ashley?s
disgust with Joey Barton?s
penchant for thumping people
that the billionaire owner
wanted to kick him out of the
club despite the then manager
Kevin Keegan?s protests.
And when Carroll was
charged with assault last December
after a man was allegedly
glassed in a night
club in Newcastle, Carroll
was dropped from the Newcastle
team.
That led me to believe
Newcastle were making a
principled stand against the
alleged thuggery that has
blackened the club?s name for
far too long.
Sadly, it seems that the
Newcastle top brass believe
that by saying nothing about
the Taylor incident then the
inevitable repercussions will
somehow go away.
As I revealed in the Sunday
Mirror, what is sickening is
that there has been a disgusting
internet and email campaign
directed at blackening
Taylor?s name with accusations
that he is arrogant and
too friendly with the media,
while Carroll is presented as
simply being ?a good lad
who is just easily wound up.?
Such conjecture is inevitable
given the club?s reluctance
to state the facts of
the matter.
Hughton is a man whom I
have come to admire this season
but when I questioned
him about the incident I was
disappointed with the way he
avoided the issues of principle
involved.
I can promise Newcastle
United that the truth about
what happened will come
out.
Too many people witnessed
the incident for the facts to be
permanently hidden.
Unfortunately, it seems that
this sorry saga will end with
Taylor, a fine and model professional,
leaving the club for
a top Premier League club.
It is heartening that Newcastle
also are heading for the
Premier League, but disappointing
that it is with a leadership
that appears to have
abandoned principle in
favour of expediency.

DSu kunne ikke tatt kortversjonen på Norsk er du snill?

[Kristoffer]

Flere gode poenger - og jeg syns fortsatt at det å knekke kjeven på noen fortjener en heftig straff.

[andrtve]

Barcelona-legende Carlos Puyol kan bli en attraksjon på St. James Park neste sesong. Barcelona ønsker seg nemlig Newcastle-stopper Stephen Taylor, og vil sende Puyol, som har spilt 327 kamper for katalanerne, til Nord-England i retur. Det melder den spanske avisen Sport.

sikkert bare et dårlig rykte men:P

[Sebastian]

Hoho, Puyol er sikkert veldig keen på å kaste fra seg kapteinsbindet i verdens beste klubb for å spille for et nyopprykka lag i nord øst england 

[Joakim]

Hahaha. Ja særlig. Puyol vrakes til fordel for Steven Taylor. Har jeg hørt det også.
Feberfantasier, kaller vi sånt. Vedkommende som har funnet på dette bør legges inn på mentalsykehus og aldri slippe ut derfra.

Steven Taylor er ikke i nærheten av å være god nok for det nivået.

[Anders]

Tror vi kommer til å få høre en del slike type rykter fremover.
Selv om de fleste fans er innstilt på at vi ikke lenger kan hente slike type spillere, betyr ikke det at media ikke elsker å spekulere i det

[Kristoffer]

Og morsomt er det!
Skulle likt å sett Taylor i Barca da!

[Joakim]

Vil heller snu på flisa og si at jeg ville likt å sett Puyol i Newcastle.

[Kristoffer]

Jada - kunne godt sett Puyol sammens med Taylor, jeg

[andrtve]

Puyol sammen med Colo hadde vært litt morsomt da. Med tanke på hårsveisane:P

Gode nyheiter frå Chris H.

    ?We will be looking at starting new contract talks over the summer with Steven Taylor,?

    ?There is absolutely no reason why he and Andy Carroll cannot play in the same team together. I expect both of them to still be here next season.?

    ?They are both very important members of the squad. We have a lot of good young players who you would like to think will continue to develop at this football club.?

    ?That includes Steven and Andy ? they have been big players for us this season.?

    ?It is not be all and end all, but it is good to have local lads playing for the club. It doesn?t happen very often anymore, but we have got four or five in the first-team squad who grew up as Newcastle fans. That?s unusual.?
