We Need To’ – Alan Shearer Disagrees Strongly with Premier League Decision on Crystal Palace and Brighton Clash.
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has hit out at a major decision involving Crystal Palace and Brighton, voicing his firm disagreement and insisting, “We need to do better.”
The controversy stems from the Premier League’s scheduling and officiating decisions during the recent heated clash between the two rivals, which ended in frustration for both sets of fans. A contentious VAR call — or lack thereof — became the flashpoint, with Shearer leading the backlash during his analysis on Match of the Day.
Speaking post-match, Shearer didn’t hold back: *“We need to sort this out. It’s not good enough anymore.”* His comments were directed at the Premier League’s ongoing VAR issues and the perceived inconsistency in decision-making that once again marred a key fixture.
The Brighton vs. Crystal Palace rivalry, dubbed the ‘M23 derby,’ has delivered drama over the years, but this time the headlines were dominated not by football, but by officiating. A disputed penalty shout and a missed handball in the buildup to a goal left fans furious — and Shearer clearly sided with them.
“This is not just about one match. It’s happening far too often,” Shearer said, urging the Premier League and PGMOL to implement stricter standards and clearer communication regarding VAR decisions.
The former Newcastle striker’s blunt reaction struck a chord with viewers, many of whom took to social media to echo his concerns. With growing frustration over how technology is being applied, calls for reform are growing louder.
As the dust settles on another contentious Premier League weekend, Shearer’s comments have added fuel to the debate — and piled pressure on the league to take action ahead of next season.
