Kinnear plays down Barton bust-up
-
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is "worried" about the club's current plight as their season of turmoil continued with a 3-0 defeat at Blackburn.
The Magpies' misery was compounded by the sending off of Nicky Butt whilst team-mates Joey Barton and Jose Enrique were seen squabbling after one of the goals and had to be separated.
The result left Newcastle just two points above the Premier League relegation zone and came after a midweek FA Cup loss to Hull in which manager Joe Kinnear was sent to the stands.
Shearer told the BBC's 'Match of the Day' programme: "It's very frustrating to see the goals they conceded, to see the players fighting amongst themselves. It's not looking good.
"They are out of the cup, the manager gets sent off in midweek, Nicky Butt gets sent off, they concede three goals, players want to leave.
"It's not a nice situation. I'm worried and I really don't think I'm the only one. I think there are 52,000 people worried as well at the current situation."

Kinnear plays down Barton bust-up
Joe Kinnear was forced to play down an angry on-field spat between Joey Barton and Jose Enrique following Newcastle’s disappointing 3-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.
The Magpies were undone by a penalty from Benni McCarthy and a brace from Jason Roberts as former Newcastle manager Sam Allardyce enjoyed an important victory at Ewood Park.
Barton was making his first appearance since November 15 and engaged in a heated row with Enrique as he had to be pulled away his Spanish team-mate.
The midfielder has a well-documented history of confrontation but Kinnear was satisfied that the player’s behaviour was only evidence of Barton’s winning mentality.
“I think Joey is just fired up by the way we have conceded,” Kinnear said on Setanta Sports News.
“It was his first game back after a long spell out through injury and I think we have missed someone like that to be honest."
