They'll be running out of refs at this rate.

'The worst thing I have seen on a football pitch for years'.
What - worse than deliberately trying to break another player's leg,then standing over him gloating?
Worse that Fabrice Muamba being clinically dead for half an hour?
Worse than Marc-Vivien Foe actually dying?
This really is a fucking outrageous statement that should be shown up for the disgrace that it is.
But I'm not holding my breath.
I don't think he means the things like Muamba and Foe. You should have done what the Mail and talksport have been doing, and took the piss out of Fergie for the things his players have done, like Cantona on Simmonds and as you have already pointed out, Keane on Haaland. Brazil is gunning for him this morning!

Maybe you're right mate,but it's hardly the most tactful comment ever made.
In fairness Talkshite have pretty much nailed him - even Stan Doggingmore waded in on the after-match phone in.
It's been a long time coming,but I feel the tide is starting to turn against the alcoholic pensioner.

I agree with Pige, in that I'm certain he didn't say that with the incidents of Muamba & MVF in at the front of his mind. The outrageous-ness of his statement though is that he will not have forgotten the Keane, Cantona etc incidents and it's things like that which make his outlandish claim, fucking ridiculous.

That being said, despite going severely OTT in his post match interview, I'm 100% of the opinion that Williams meant what he did and it certainly had the potential to hurt like fuck.

Didn't Fergie kick at boot into Beckhams face ? Attempted murder charges. ??
He did and when asked about it and the injuries caused, he said it was 'just a scratch'. No it maybe just me, but kicking a boot with metal studs on it in a fit of Scottish rage is far more dangerous than kicking a football. Like with the Cantona incident when it was 'not as serious as it's being made out to be', or with Keane's tackle which, according to Fergie, was an 'attempt for the ball'.

Like the media are saying - double standards galore.<br /><br />-- Mon Dec 24, 2012 9:59 am --<br /><br />

Fixed!

Like people have suggested, he probably wouldn't have mentioned the incident had they gone on to win 2-1.

Who cares?
Who refs out matches is what is important.

I would have thought its extremely important. Most if not all refs want to officiate in matches involving United.

If the best way to ensure that happens is to make decisions that the United manager is happy about then we'll see more and more 50/50 decisions, and 40/60 decisions go in their favour.

Its not a deliberate thing but a pretty natural human reaction. So if Oliver is kept away from United games for any length of time it damages the integrity of the competition.

And we should all care about that.
 
He's a disgrace of a man, and my Xmas would be a little nicer if the FA brought him up on disrepute charges for screaming for players to be banned, Rooney for swearing at the ref and RVP for head butting a player (or whatever he did)

Ah so we're going down the 'Fergie has say in a refs career' path. I'm out on that one as we'll be here all day.
