Ireland joined Newcastle on loan after a brief ill-fated spell at Villa<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Newcastle’s Stephen Ireland and Leon Best have apologised after being photographed at a nightclub the night before Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at Stoke.<\/b><\/p>\n

The pair, who missed the game because of injury, were pictured lifting their shirts to show off their tattoos. <\/p>\n

“Going to a bar was inappropriate ahead of the game. We regret doing so,” read a statement on the club website. <\/p>\n

“With an important game the next day we should never have put ourselves or the club in that position.” <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The statement continued: “We were asked to have our photograph taken and we removed our shirts as a tongue-in-cheek joke between friends, but of course the resulting coverage in the press suggests a far different night out.” <\/p>\n

Ireland and Best stressed that they had not consumed any alcohol and were only at the bar briefly, along with reserve-team player Stephen Folan. <\/p>\n

Midfielder Ireland has yet to play for the Magpies since <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

joining on loan from Aston Villa<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

in January, having had a knee injury when he arrived and suffered a thigh injury in training since then. <\/p>\n

His last first-team football was <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Villa’s 3-0 loss to Liverpool<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

on 6 December.\n<\/p>\n
