Shearer keeps up his bias against our club when he is the only pundit who thinks that Pantilimon wasn't fouled in the WBA defeat today!!He was backed into by the WBA player,and also had the ball kicked out of his hands.What a biased plonker he is.I can only hope that we beat his club again next week and shut him up.....as Dell-boy would say,"what a plonker"!!!
he was wrong. Simple as that. Pundits should really keep up with the rules of the game. Body checking keepers on crosses has been against the rules for decades.
Unless you are a striker that is !? I'd have had a little more support for Berahino if he'd jumped face to face with the keeper and put his 'head on the line' but it was a cowards challenge.
Pants had his hands on the ball on the ground, so that was an infringement when beri got the ball, and the WBA player who had been booked but still took Borini's back leg got away with a sending off, but Atkinson, like Friend are cheats, sess dove in and we should have had a penalty, mind you the ball hit Kaboul's arm in the pen area, but was accidental. Let's see what controversy unfolds next week, no mag player better do a Mclean in the derby, or there will be bloodshed. when we beat the mags next week Shearer won't turn p !
Pants flapped like a twat. If he'd done better and been stronger it wouldn't give the ref a decision to cock up or pundits a chance to show bias.
6foot eight against 5foot 8 says it all for me. Fair to say he has cost us four points so far, but that is an occupational hazard with keepers.
A goalie that size should be flattening everyone in his path to get to that ball, I'm afraid I agree with Shearer in this case.
Only seen it once but my feeling is Pants needs to man up.His fault. Bera should have been knocked into next week the soft tw*t
You might get away with it if you play for a top club but us, we would be down to 10 and facing a penalty.
Regardless of whether Pants should have got the ball initially, there was at least two blatant fouls on him, and possibly three if you count the hand ball.
To be honest, the only time Shearer gets stick off the black and whites is because he's biased towards Sunderland.
