Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has been sent to the stands 59 minutes into the sides first Premier League game of the season. Pardew was shown by ESPN to push the 4th official just minutes after Ba scored to put Newcastle into the lead.
Pardew was aggrieved that Newcastle were not awarded a throw in after the ball appeared to have crossed the line.
Before leaving the touchline he requested an ear piece and radio handset to communicate with his colleagues, that failed and he is now using a runner to send instructions.
Yohan Cabaye and Danny Simpson have both been booked for Newcastle, whilst Livermore and Sandro have been booked for Spurs.
In his post match interview, Pardew admitted that he had been reminding his players to behave and that on the day he had let himself down.
He will now await an FA decision as to whether any further action is taken against him.

Oh well, hopefully they'll have a better 2-way for the next couple matches.
