Grimsby defender is unaffected by SOP's pathetic reaction.
Justin Whittle:
"Shearer spent the whole of the game trying to wind me up. There was nothing deliberate in what I did. We both jumped for the ball. I went with my arms up and caught him in the face and he’s moaned his head off at the referee — he wasn’t happy about it. Tough battles are part of the game. It’s my job to defend and I thought I did well against him.
"As you can see from TV Shearer got me early on in the match. I have nothing to apologise for and my track record backs me up. After he caught me I just turned around and got on with it."
