hello well here i am again like flies round a cows arse im always there
normally i dont do football columns to me its 22 puffs kicking a bag of wind round a field but you know what they say a change is as good as a rest
RAFA BENITEZ yesterday launched an astonishing Kevin Keegan-style rant against Alex Ferguson.
The Liverpool boss viciously went for his Manchester United counterpart, questioning his conduct and integrity in a pre-planned assault.
Benitez pulled no punches as he gave Fergie the worst mauling of his 23-year United career.
The Spaniard condemned Fergie’s treatment of match officials, especially comments he made about ref Martin Atkinson and refs’ chief Keith Hackett. And he also blasted Ferguson for moaning about the fixtures schedule.
The Kop boss raged: “We had a meeting about the Respect campaign. I was very clear, ‘Forget the campaign’ because Mr Ferguson was killing the referees, killing Mr Atkinson, killing Mr Hackett
"How can you talk about the Respect campaign, then criticise the ref every week?
"At Old Trafford the United staff always go man-to-man with the refs, especially at half-time when they walk close to the refs
"You can see how they put refs under pressure.
“Now he is complaining that everybody is against United. But the second half of the season they are at home against all the teams at the top, it’s a fantastic advantage.”
Keegan’s infamous ‘I’d love it’ outburst against Fergie came when the then-Newcastle boss cracked in 1996.
Hypocrite, bully, whinger | The Sun |Sport|Football
AAG
its time that this old scottish fool stepped down as united,s manager
if you link back to the story in the sun you will see sir alex arguing and threateningly gesturing at the referee.
in a time when football is trying to restore its non violent image acts like this are bringing the game in to disrepute and sir alex should be summoned to the F.A headquarters to be dealt with.
if this was a jockey there would be no qualms about the abusive jockey being hauled before the jockey club and brought to book with a threat of suspension or withdrawal of their licence hanging over them.
personally sir alex is such a powerfull figure in the football world that F.A is exactly what will happen untill ferguson goes to far and strikes an official which is what will come next.
ferguson needs to be repremanded or sacked as this is not acceptable behaviour otherwise if he continues to get away with behaving like this he will just continue to do so as normal behaviour untill an official makes a complaint to the F.A
after all ITS ONLY A GAME !!!!!
