Originally posted by Eagle123456 If it was Wilf they would be crucifying him all day long, even if it's a stonewall penalty. Perhaps Shearer has sour grapes over some comments exchanged between him and Parish on social media (about Zaha funnily enough) so he could be letting this cloud his actual judgement and calling what he wants to see (and has gotten the MOTD panel on board with this). Anyway, i wouldn't listen to any of those clowns at the BBC, if they spoke and had as much sense as they thought they had, they would be full time managers. Look what happened to Shearer when he stepped up to the plate. Ruud Gullit expressed a thought I've often had though - why are refs reluctant to award something if the player stays on his feet? If they do that more often, players dive less (because it's a double chance - if I stay up I may score OR I may get the penalty). BBC make a big deal out of it because it may impact the title race, but it's far more important in reality at the other end of the table (title winners and runners up is just an honour, relegation is a real and massive impact on a club)

Look what happened to Shearer when he stepped up to the plate. Shearer always spouts sh1t as we all know especially when it comes to Palace and more so after Steve Parish put him in the picture about our Wilf. He will always be bias when it comes to our club hence the reason I treat all he sys with the contempt it deserves. He was always mouthy as a player. Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky.

I'm no fan of Shearer and zone out while he's droning on tbh I've learnt more on these forums than listening to him..... Except when he's talking about what goes on in the 6 yard box where he is a proven expert whether we like it or not. When Remy hit a low cross across the 6 yard box on Saturday I was wondering why Benteke wasn't on the end of it. Shearer said the same thing on MOTD.

Calling for an apology is a fruitless waste of time but I agree with the other poster upthread. It's totally unprofessional for him to be swearing like that about another club on his twitter when he's a paid pundit on a taxpayer funded channel. Makes him look stupid. When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

Just show Benteke a recording of Shearer slagging him off. If that doesn't motivate him nothing will.
