Canary Wundaboy 1,358 Posted November 30, 2021 While he’s obviously biased, it isn’t detracting from my experience and he’s right in what he’s saying about us to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty13 2,229 Posted November 30, 2021 He’s Newcastle through and through. I don’t blame him for that. I thought his comments were very fair in that context. Don’t get the upset to be honest, not Shearers fault they booked him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Christoph Stiepermann 1,131 Posted November 30, 2021 If anything he was overly lenient. Amazon set the whole game up as the Newcastle show so it's more their fault. We deserve any grief we get after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,578 Posted November 30, 2021 I was actually pleasantly surprised, feared the worst when they said he was commentating but thought he was ok on balance.

I can't imagine many Liverpool fans being happy with a Manchester United co-commentator and a Manchester United expert summariser at halftime. But there you go - I suppose you're happy with "little old Norwich." We seem to think we don't deserve the respect that "the big teams" get. 🤯 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as the commentary is fine then I don’t mind, I didn’t feel we were poorly assessed by Shearer at all. In fact I thought we were much worse than he articulated but I respect he isn’t allowed to swear… It’s not like he’s being asked to referee the game anything so I don’t really mind. However it did seem that nearly all of the build up (that I saw) was centred around Newcastle which was a bit rubbish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So true, but to be fair I quite like the one-sided English team commentary in the CL as I like seeing the English teams do well - obviously can appreciate that anyone who doesn’t favour the English teams might not agree though… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
