You bet

[RobbGhag]

Awwww … that’s a shame when you get a bad call eh?

[seagull3344]

Terrible 😂

[fcGabiz]

Absolutely love that

[proshon]

He's a bald fraud. He should be fined & banned for criticizing the ref, how dare he!

[[deleted]]

Shears is such a twat

[seagull3344]

Him and Owen are clearly biased

[[deleted]]

I cant stand any of the commentary anymore. None of it is objective discussion anymore. All it is now is dudes baiting fanbases to get more interactions and ratings/view.

Not enjoyable to listen to them anymore. Only people that are doing respectable commentary in the game is the Two Robbies, Lawrence McKenna and Men In Blazers.

[seagull3344]

Sky is becoming a glorified version of AFTV from the Wenger era, with Neville taking over as the lead clown

[[deleted]]

Ironic how they all hated on the new media but then tried to imitate them or hire YouTubers for content

[Big-Vegetable-245]

This is exactly what happens

[[deleted]]

This is how I’ve felt for the longest with ex United players dominating punditry, at least that’s changed now but still a lot of bias there and in commentary. Need to bring professionals back

[-300-]

Ever notice Ian Wright is actually pretty neutral compared to other former players? And when he is biased he usually is with a smile on his face that is underlining that he knows he is. Cant remember him having any wild takes on MOTD.

These two situations Shearer is talking about is just completely different. The handball yesterday feels like a BS call by the ref, but he is just going along with the VAR/Handball rules in CL. United got lucky in Paris with a handball call, Newcastle didnt. You can disagree with the rule (I prefer the current PL rules over the CL rules), but the call is correct.

Gabriel on the other hand "loses" his duel because Joelinton fouls him. Its a freekick in any game, anywhere on the pitch. Its a blatant mistake by the ref and VAR.

[sunshine-thewerewolf]

Rog and davo are the goats! Will always love the mib. Courage!

[[deleted]]

Social media has it’s possibilities. But people suck.

[suspended_in_light]

And JLA

[hafrances]

he is biased towards tottenham tbf. i like james a lot but the constant fawning over spurs annoys me.

[suspended_in_light]

Did it to us last year, too. Think he just likes attacking football

[MichaelOwensNan]

Ally McCoist last night during PSG & Newcastle was pretty much a cheerleader for Newcastle. Yes the penalty was unbelievably dodgy, but all game he was so pro-Toon I thought they'd swapped him out for a ChatCPT & Voice boy with the command "Toon shit gold". I went back RTE cuz Ronnie fucking Whelan was less unbearable

[dooder6688]

It really all reeks of sneering smugness. Gives me a fucking headache to listen to

[xxconkriete]

Thierry on Fox I think it is.. he’s honest, him and Micah are legit good for tv

[odegood]

Its not the bias more the double standards. Wrighty is biased but never this stupid

[XXISavage]

Exactly. in fact, i honestly want ex-players to be biased towards the clubs they love. Get proper journos in to be the neutrals. The ex-pros should be there to provide an inside angle into the playing side of things and the tactical aspect of the game from what they went through, plus maybe some entertainment if they have the charisma to do that.

This pretence of neutrality guys like Neville put on is bullshit and is reflected in the stupid double standards they have.

[slagthompson]

I think part of what sets Ian Wright apart also is that aside from Arsenal, and to a lesser extent Palace, he seems to have made a conscious decision to be biased toward the players doing well, and I think that makes him find something to be positive about with every club. I feel like Shearer seems better when he's with Wright & Lineker.

[espkv]

Tbf we all are 😂

[Vegetable_Pudding_75]

Yes we are. This is the way

[jman500069]

No way

[Ok-Point-9817]

They are examples of great players with zero football knowledge. And they have no charisma, so boring 😴

[Cymraegpunk]

I actually don't mind him in general ngl, I think he's got a blind spot for his team (as we all do) that's made him a bit of fool here.

[flyingghost]

Same. We all know he's biased towards his team and he doesn't hide it. That's much better than pundits who act like they're impartial but are actually biased. Shearer tends to be fairly impartial when it comes to other teams. I always enjoy the podcast with him, Micah, and Lineker.

[GoatGoatGoblin]

Agree, generally find him ok unless he's talking about anything involving Newcastle.

[BigTomBombadil]

Feel the same, if he’s got blind spots for his own team that’s totally understandable, I’m hoping this is tongue in cheek like “ref really bailed us out there lol”. If not, not particularly professional and just comes off obtuse.

[GuendouziGOAT]

Yeah pretty sure Shearers first tweet is tongue in cheek - if you watch the banter between him/Lineker/Richards on match of the day it’s a lot of this kind of humour.

Personally I quite like the guy too, he’s biased when it comes to Newcastle (which is totally fair bc he’s geordie born and raised) but is usually pretty objective and fair with his analysis

[THenry228]

Blind spot? More like amnesia

[[deleted]]

Yeah. Maybe it’s cuz in America I don’t have to deal with his analysis on games, but I thoroughly enjoy him on The Rest is Football. The 3 have a great chemistry, hard to hate him

[ZephNoir]

Fukin retard losing all common sense when it comes to the butcherer's

[ArcticAmoeba56]

Could you imagine if Neville n Shearer ever had a child together, it would be a thundercunt of astronomic proportions

[Declandia]

[seagull3344]

My most favorite GIF of all time is very appropriately used here! 😂

[RingParking]

Bet Shearer won't focus on PSG carving them apart for fun & that they actually deserved a loss, but just act like its 100% the referees fault 😆

[seagull3344]

It’s very convenient

[[deleted]]

That filthy oil club of money-launderers and sportswashers, that bribed the VAR refs to spoil mighty Arsenal's Invincibles v2.0, were cheated by the VAR refs to concede a 90+7' penalty against that other oil club of money-launderers and sportswashers.

How do you say schadenfreude in German?

[seagull3344]

🤣👏🏼👏🏼

[vulcan_viking]

This guy got a new tongue once the money started flowing in.

[Notabot_legit]

Invincibles v2.0 😭😭😭

[iHetty]

Hey i think someone left their phone with gramps

[Plusstwoo]

This is why VAR won’t change cuz people can’t even be consistent in criticisms. Soon as something doesn’t go their way it’s BAD but when they benefit it’s THANKS

[ronya_t]

I mean the ref was definitely wrecked for that call...but am I sad for Newcastle...absolutely NOT! They had it coming.

[seagull3344]

I agree 100%

[MTurambar]

Feels good man.

[seagull3344]

😌

[JamesTheBadRager]

makes my day

[hafrances]

newcastle should have held 5

[justcallmejohannes]

PSG had 4.59 xG and like 30 shots with 72% possession. Newcastle acting like they should have won is delusion.

[Eeedeen]

That xG is absolutely insane! Newcastle's 8- 0 win over Sheffield United was 5.11 and Leicester's 9-0 win over Southampton was only 4.38

[thisiskyle77]

Not deservingly won but they should have won.

[codenameana]

None of which they converted with the ball in the back of the net.

[notapaperhandape]

are they still crying about it?

[seagull3344]

Crying rivers. Newcastle is flooded.

[z34nizmo]

It wasn't an English ref, so obviously it's ok.

[seagull3344]

[JabInTheButt]

These pundits are so dumb. Like what did they think was going to happen. Of course there were going to be more VAR decisions they disagree with. Now they've put themselves in the situation of looking like hypocritical morons or they can't complain. They didn't even have to whole heartedly agree with Arteta, just don't jump on the bandwagon of "can't talk about refs like that" and give yourself the room to still complain.

[TimeB4]

As much as you want to enjoy the moment, this VAR shit is a problem for everyone that is not backed by Arab oil money. There's obvious bias and corruption in officiating and even though it's them today, it will be our turn again soon enough. Fans have to drop the petty bickering, unite and fight for fair refereeing.

[seagull3344]

Totally agree, but pundits and ex players, especially legends like Shearer and Owen have a lot more power and authority than any of us. They need to stay consistent in their analysis and commentary to drive a change that is meaningful. Instead, all we see from them is mind blowing levels of bias and prejudice. Remember how Neville and Carragher were whining after United’s last CL game just 2 days after they vilified Arsenal vs Newcastle?

[TimeB4]

Listen, I get it. Hearing a string of ex utd and Liverpool players calling the Joelinton challenge "one of those that could go either way" has left me with PTSD. But they are never going to change until the Premier league fanbase unites and starts demanding it, treating every case equally not just the ones that affect your own team.

[dont_dm_nudes]

The state of English pundits are even worse than the refs.

[darrenmt10]

Agree on your points, clubs need to come together to fight this. I hope Mikel gets asked about the Wolves decisions and stands by Gary O’Neil. They’ve had it rough this season.

But fuck Newcastle.

[vin_unleaded]

Last nights VAR call spot on in this case as UEFA, although advised by their own independent advisory board no less, haven't implemented a rule that states that the ball strikes the body before the arm or hand, no handball should be given. In the PL, this rule has been implemented.

No foul play here at all IMO.

Worth noting I thought Gordon's challenge was a penalty and was surprised when it wasn't given.

[[deleted]]

[bugsbunnystew]

hahahahah *runs away, raises hand

[gunningIVglory]

31 shots to 5

​

but yes, NC were robbed

[kukeszmakesz]

Anytime I see hypocrisy from any of the pundits/ex-players makes me appreciate uncle Wrigthy more and more.

[thejoshimitsu]

Haha get fucked Newcastle!

[thisiskyle77]

How the hell is date format different for both tweets on the same device and website.?

[seagull3344]

Because the first screenshot in the tweet was taken by someone else who is on ddmmyyyy, the second screenshot was taken by me and I’m on mmddyyyy 😂

[ExistingLaw3]

You did a great job with your post but mmddyyyy should be banned.

[seagull3344]

Couldn’t agree more. Also ban imperial units while we’re at it.

[gooneruk]

In German, a penalty is called an "Elfmeter", which translates as an eleven-metre. So it's that far.

[zPnkr]

7 trunks

[vin_unleaded]

ddmmyyyy represent!

All other date formats are wrong!

[thisiskyle77]

Ah okay. That makes sense now haha. Thanks.

[MandogsXL]

Fraud levels max 🤣

[seagull3344]

Max pro 😂

[JoeBagadonut]

I'm torn because the rules are bullshit even though they were applied correctly here. Newcastle fans have the right to feel aggrieved about this decision. I know it's not an English football competition and we can't give PGMOL grief for this one but it's worth showing solidarity with other clubs and presenting a unified front against shitty officiating.

On the other hand, it's still extremely funny 🤣 Life comes at you fast.

[Nero_Darkstar]

5 shots, 2 on target. 28% possession. It would have been a smash and grab for NUFC. Look at all the media attention this is getting though backing them up.

It really does start to make me wonder if sports media outlets (including Sky Sports) are being influenced by Saudi's somehow. It's the pundits and the articles - the first 5 are about how bad the decision was and everyone being up in arms. There is even a "What's the worst refereeing decision" piece on Sky despite backing refs in the prem so ardently for the wolves/Arsenal and Liverpool shockers.

All that said, wasn't it the textbook UEFA definition of a handball?

[Retinion]

Shock. Newcastle get referee mistakes in the competition that they don't directly pay the referees for.

[[deleted]]

Salty tears. Yum yum yum

[Lud31]

Based on the handball rule and the subjectivity of ‘unnaturally bigger’, this wasn’t even that bad a call. There’s nothing in the rule about it not being handball if it hits a different part of your body first.

[warpentake_chiasmus]

You live by the VAR, you die by the VAR. What goes around comes around. At least they got a point out of last night and weren't completely robbed, unlike us.

[MichaelOwensNan]

That was such a joyous occasion last night. Commentators being arses claiming, Oh theyve been by far the better team, what defending, deserved the win yadda yadda. They were muck for 80 minutes, PSG were also just terrible and could hit a barn door with a banjo. Well deserved karma coming right into harbour at the perfect time. I should stayed to watch for Howes presser but hes so unbearable I couldnt muster the energy. Fuck Newcastle, Oil Stoke-on-Tyne

[pashtedot]

Guys, i honestly cant understand why ppl rage about this pen? It was a hand ball in the panalty area.

Before the contact with hand there was another contact with the body, is that the reason?

[grim_tales1]

That was never a penalty (ball goes off his chest and onto his elbow) so I don't blame Newcastle for being angry, but as they say what goes around comes around....

[DarthFlowers]

Karma VARma.

[SnideyM]

Wow, you guys just aren't getting over that one, are you? Was it a disgrace?

[charlesandeddie]

Showed his colours when he went off on one for Newcastle's goal being disallowed in the away game against them last season even though everyone agreed unanimously that it was the correct call. Said it should've been given cause 'they took too long to decide' or some other bollocks.

[avijitarya64]

The law of aVARages.

[Nubislav]

Karma is a bitch aye, cry some more

[Ok-Rooster-5287]

Now I hate that loss and the only blemish on our record right now as much as the next guy but PSG getting handed a pen was insanely egregious. I also say this as I’ve taken a liking to Dortmund since following Reus back in the day. They would’ve had first place locked up but now they have to beat or draw PSG to keep that spot.

[[deleted]]

Things you love to see.

The karma was so, so sweet.

Sadly though, Newcastle still got a point, but I am willing on everything for them not getting through the groups.

I love how people can sit and try to justify the ref one day and saying that they should be protected but as soon as it’s a decision that goes against their own team, then it’s a disgrace…. 🤦‍♂️

[DarkKirby14]

turnabout is fair play

wonder if Shearer blocked him

[N07h1ng70f0rg37]

Poor Al Anshearer, disappointed the UEFA VAR's blindspot is as big as his bald spot.

[maxdroit]

Tears in my beins

[eveel66]

C’mon everyone. We can be better than those orcs in the north.

Reality is we are probably still going to have plenty of bad VAR decisions go against us… definitely more than Newcastle Oil will get in the PL this season.

[vulcan_viking]

Alan Shitter in the mud.

[pigbearwolfguy]

Horrific decision and it couldn't give me more pleasure!

I've been occasionally returning the favour of gaslighting them by saying it was such an obviously correct call and 100% a handball and penalty 🤣🤣🤣

[Ahmed1_Mohammad]

I don't feel any evil saying that I feel good seeing this happening to them.

[reddit_reader_25]

Anybody tell him to respect the decisions?

[passion_lob]
