NEEJ Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 funny reading back the comments immediately after the kick, makes Shearer sound like a monster: England captain Alan Shearer is waiting to see if he will be punished for kicking Leicester City's Neil Lennon in the face. The Newcastle United striker apologised for the incident in a league game at Filbert Street on April 29, saying he never meant to harm Lennon, who suffered a cut and bruising to his face. Referee Martin Bodenham took no action, prompting complaints from Leicester manager Martin O'Neill. But the English Football Association could still step in and hold an inquiry. An FA spokesman said it was waiting for Mr Bodenham's match report before taking any action. Shearer could be banned but any suspension would not come into effect until after the FA Cup final between Newcastle and Arsenal on May 16. The striker said TV pictures made the kick appear worse than it was. "I was brought down by Neil Lennon and we both fell clumsily," he said. "As I tried to get to my feet I had to really tug my left foot free and the momentum of doing this looked on television liked a kick. "It certainly wasn't and the fact that Neil is virtually unmarked confirms this. If I did accidentally catch him, I certainly did not mean to. I would never try and deliberately hurt a fellow professional." An outraged O'Neill declined to file an official complaint to the FA. But he stormed: "You don't do that whether you are Alan Shearer or the Pope. "I said my piece after the game. The video evidence will prove it for itself." Shearer's return from injury this year has been dogged by controversy. Former Newcastle United directors Douglas Hall and Freddie Shepherd dubbed him "Mary Poppins" because of his apparent model behaviour. But in February, Leeds' manager George Graham accused him of manhandling striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. And earlier in April Shearer came under fire after Newcastle met Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs' manager Christian Gross said Shearer was responsible for breaking defender Ramon Vega's nose. Gross added: "I cannot say if it was deliberate, but it was a heavy challenge. Shearer is a very physical player and a very clever player. He uses his body well and protects the ball very well." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Was Messi's spinning backheel lob last night the best ever disallowed goal? Only rivals I can think of are overhead kicks scored by Osvaldo for Roma and Falcao for Atleti (I think) EDIT: Nah, don't think he means it. Can't believe nobody mentioned Rob Lee from his own half against Brentford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsted Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 There may be footage on a well-known site of Newcastle United 1992-93 Season Review - Part Four at about 13:10, possibly, not for me to say. I thought it was scandalous at the time. Rob was a great player, about Milner x 4. Caps for England 21, Milner 43 and counting. Sigh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Shouldn't have been sent home. They should have carried on and let him do as he wished. The poppy commemorates fallen soldiers who fought for freedom and democracy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I can understand the Irish maybe having issue with it, but what I cannot understand is those Celtic fuckheads holding up banners about "the blood-stained poppy" and "Iraq Afghanistan Ireland". They're fucking Scottish and their family members / fans would have fought for Britain more than likely. Bunch of fucking spastics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
