Pardew admits FA charge

Newcastle United boss Alan Pardew had admitted a Football Association misconduct charge.



Pardew was charged after pushing assistant referee Peter Kirkup during Saturday’s Premier League clash with Spurs, which the magpies won 2-1.



Pardew had until 4pm on Wednesday afternoon to respond to the FA.



Speaking ahead of his side’s Europa League clash with Atromitos the magpies boss said: “We have to do the procedure that has to take place and we are following that through.



“We are doing a letter on my call on what I thought happened at the weekend.



“But we have pleaded guilty and we will go to see the FA and see what punishment is going to come to fruition.”
