The FA rescinded the red cards for both players retrosectively after an appeal.

Newcastle fans then bombarded Steve Martin, the American comedian with tweets following the game which Newcastle lost 2-1

Hopefully the comedian will stay at home for Tuesday's game and we get a top rate referee as the Rams look to gain much needed points after the 3-3 draw against Bristol City at the weekend.
