Bowyer admits guilt and awaits fate
Tuesday, 19 April 2005 17:00Newcastle midfielder Lee Bowyer today admitted to his charge of violent conduct following his on-pitch bust-up with team-mate Kieron Dyer.
Bowyer and Dyer traded punches during the Magpies' 3-0 home defeat by Aston Villa on April 2 and both players were sent off.
A statement from the Football Association read: "Newcastle United midfielder
Lee Bowyer has admitted a breach of FA rule E3 for violent conduct."
It added: "Bowyer has requested a personal hearing and the case will heard by a disciplinary commission on Friday, April 22."
The 28-year-old former Leeds star will serve the third match of his automatic four-game ban for the red card when he sits out tomorrow's trip to Norwich. The suspension included an extra game because it was the second time he has been sent off this season.
