Seems wor Kieron isn't the only one being caught on video with his pants down:

Newcastle United new boy Andy O'Brien goes to Ipswich Town tomorrow - determined not to be caught with his trousers down again.

For on his last visit to Portman Road the £2 million defender had his shorts ripped off - much to the delight of the Ipswich fans.

And O'Brien will be hoping that United, who have been in terrible form lately, will not be caught short tomorrow. Before he left for Suffolk O'Brien told me today: "My visit to Ipswich three seasons ago was easily the most embarrassing moment of my career.

"I was trying to shoulder the ball out of play when Ipswich striker Dave Johnson pushed me and then held on to me. "In the process he ripped my shorts off and down to my ankles and left me in just my underpants.

"I looked at the referee expecting him to blow his whistle - but because the ball stayed in play he waved play on.

"So, with my shorts still round my ankles, I had to chase after Jamie Scowcroft, and in the end I managed to get the ball out of play.

"I then changed my shorts in the centre circle and there were plenty of wolf whistles from the Ipswich fans. "To make matters worse, the incident has also been shown on television on a Question of Sport in the "What Happened Next" category."

Portman Road has not exactly been a happy hunting ground for O'Brien who has been with United for over three weeks but who has only played in that one game at his former club Bradford City a fortnight ago.

He added: "Ipswich is my bogey ground. I have never won there, not even the time when Bradford were 2-0 up with just 10 minutes to go."

O'Brien has used United's enforced inactivity to try and work out an understanding with his new defensive partner Aaron Hughes.

"Its been like pre-season for me in the past couple of weeks" says the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international.
