Newcastle coach Jason Tindall found a bizarre way to have a “pop” in Aston Villa in the midst of a mass tunnelbrawl.
The FA has revealed incredible indoor details because they confirmed large fines for both clubs after the flare -up on Boxing Day.
Jhon Duran saw Red for an error on Fabian Schar before Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak and Joelinton sealed a 3-0 Newcastle victory in St James' park.
An independent regulatory committee has now demolished the events – a surprising throwback to a pop duo from the 80s from Tindall.
The antics of the 47-year-old loomed great in the reports that the committee received
Referee Anthony Taylor explained that he sent Tindall for aggressive behavior.
Taylor said that the fourth official Leigh Doughty informed him of a half-time bust “caused by Victor Manas (Aston Villa Head of Analysis)”.
Manas shouted “aggressive”, which led to an “aggressive verbal argument”.
Taylor added: “This ensured that a further confrontation of around 20 players and employees took place. I was also advised that Mr Tindall had to be prevented from becoming further involved.”
But it was what came at the end of the game that stood out -with the ex -Bournemouth -defender said the business to escalate by demolishing villa … with a wham! Hoodie.

Villa's club secretary Sharon Barnhurst e -mailed the committee to say that Tindall “hunted their manager Unai Emery three or four times in the first half”, which led to Manas intervening in a heated exchange during the interval.
Problems again exploded for the last whistle.
The Telegraph report that Barnhurst has established: “Mr Tindall appeared in the tunnel with a Wham on the 85th minute! Jumper, jokes with other members of the Newcastle United staff. “
Tindall would then have stayed full-time in the tunnel area before he was “involved in a tense argument” with a villa coach.
Both clubs admitted incorrect behavior.
The committee has a fine of Villa £ 30,000 and Newcastle £ 20,000, and warned them both of their behavior.
Manas landed a ground ban of two games and £ 4k fine – but Tindall was cleared.
A spokesperson for FA said: “The regulatory committee did not find the indictment against Jason Tindall proven, and he will not undergo any further action.”
