Alan Shearer on Neil Lennon England's golden boy Shearer lost his rag with Leicester's Northern Irish terrier and simply booted him in the head and a squabble for possession. An FA commission somehow came to the conclusion that Shearer had not intended to kick him opponent squarely between the eyes and he escaped a ban and was therefore eligible to play for Newcastle in the 1998 FA Cup final. I believe shearer threatened to withdraw from the 98 World Cup squad if he was found guilty and missed that final ........ made no difference to us but so corrupt ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't be on the list as it wasn't an attempted tackle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was no tackle just a moment of sheer thuggery. He should have got a ban like cantona. Bankers at the FA and the ref. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did threaten that. David Kelly, i think, confirmed it. The measure of the man. I will not play for my country if held accountable for my actions. Absolutely disgusting attitude. He's an awful bloke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be surprised that the weather's coming from the west and it's calmer on the east side. Even so... We need a report from Sheff_ Fox, or whatever he's called.

But surely Pep would rather have a week of light training, and play it next weekend rather than shoehorn it in somewhere later on in the season. But it's probably not up to him. Sky will decide when it's played I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man City have a game to reschedule for the league cuo final too, plus they are in Europe. Perfect for us as Man City don't get a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
