Bluedell 5,329 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I don't mean to be disrespectful but I lost a lot of respect for him after this: Newcastle United manager Sir Bobby Robson yesterday attacked the "filthy mouths" of Rangers supporters after a pitch brawl during a pre-season friendly. Fourteen players were involved in the disturbance after a tussle between Fernando Ricksen of Rangers and Newcastle captain Alan Shearer, who has been approached to sign for Celtic. Shearer was accused of deliberately tripping the Rangers defender Jean-Alain Boumsong into the side netting of the goal. After the incident, he was heckled throughout the match by the Rangers support, who regaled him with chants including "Shearer what a w***er". The referee yellow carded both Ricksen and Shearer after the brawl, but the Newcastle striker was quickly substituted by his manager. At a press conference after the game, which Newcastle won 4-2, Robson hit out: "I don't like filthy chants and there was a lot of unclean mouths making filthy chants. I wasn't having that, having them [Rangers fans] screaming unpleasantness at him so I got him out of that muck. " 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris Cole 0 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I see the mhedia were at it back then as well: "Shearer, who has been approached to sign for Celtic" Don't think anything will beat Cully and Crespo though. I digress.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
