"Winning is the most important thing. I think it would be easy for me to go out there and stick one on him. "That's what I wanted to do but the easiest way is to answer them in goals and come away with victory, that's what I've done. "I am unhappy. He's done me. It's blatant. I know he's done it and the referee is five yards off me and hasn't done anything. "That's life. It's a hard game is football, you've got to look after yourselves out there and I've done that for a number of years but I've been done tonight. "That's the best way to answer it. As much as I'd like to go out and do him, as I know he's done me, it's a coward's way. "The best way is to answer that in goals and I've done that. Alan Shearer, Living Legend
Shearer is one of the dirtiest players ive ever seen in the premiership, im glad he got his lip fucked
Aye totally - from the first angle it looked like he was perhaps exaggerating trying to get height...from another angle you can see that he knows Shearer is there, and gives him smack in the chops. Blatent foul, and for the ref to not even award a free kick is just rediculous, many a ref would have shown Red for that.
his time wasting antics at the end was a discgrace. i never like to see anyone in a toon shirt cheating.
For all the people who now hate shearer did you hate him during euro 96?? or other times he was leading the english line ???
i do not hate big al! he is without a doubt the best striker this country has seen over the past 10yrs! i sang his name @ england matches! i just think he's an arrogant prick mint @ footy tho
holding the ball in the corner for almost 2 minutes. total discgrace. fifa should make that a bookable offence.
fair enough those who were glad to see shearer get his lip split, but first of all whittle is just a 2 bob player trying to make a name for himself coz when his lower league career is over it'll probably be the one highlight for him while he's on the dole! second of all it amounts to nothing short of GBH, it was a pre meditated attack! should be fucking charged!
what a load of bollocks youve just written there ! your telling me that if your team are 1-0 in a cup final or world cup and theres 2 mins to go you wouldnt want you center forward to have the brains and ability to hold the ball up and garauntee the win??? Think your in the minority of one there bud !
totally! ffs, he's playing within the laws of the game in order for his team to hold on to posession and stop the other team from having a chance to score! what is wrong with that? they don't do it enough, the amount of late goals newcastle have conceded in the previous two seasons is disgraceful, not that. that whittle is an absolute joke, i wish shearer just laughed in his face last night at the final whistle. offering him on for not wanting to shake your hand!!! what a twat!
How the fuck is it cheating? Are you for for real? It's keeping the ball away from our goal, meaning that we win the game. How the hell do you not want him to do that? I honestly think your a mackem tbh
