After Sir Alex Ferguson was critical of referee Martin Atkinson when he failed to send David Luiz off for three yellow card offences and missed John Terry’s handball in the box which blocked a Luis Nani shot, he received an FA charge and criticism from all over the place, including from Kenny Dalglish.
“People have short memories,” Ferguson said. “Kenny Dalglish looked to be lecturing me in the papers about the need to respect referees, perhaps forgetting that not so long ago his players were tweeting critically all over the place about Howard Webb.”
It’s not just Dalglish who is suffering with memory loss, after Graham Taylor wrote to Ferguson telling him he had to take the rough with the smooth.
“I was disappointed with Graham Taylor, who wrote that I had to take ‘the rough with the smooth’,” he continued. “I think back to when he was England manager and was complaining to a linesman: ‘The referee has got me the sack.’
Ferguson has also revealed that he will be defending himself against the charge. I’m assuming he will be showing footage of Atkinson’s decision not to award us a blatant penalty against Portsmouth in the FA Cup, as well as his costly decisions against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last season, to back up his claim that he wasn’t a fair ref.
“I will be defending myself strongly when my FA appeal hearing comes up,” Ferguson writes in his programme notes for today’s FA Cup quarter-final against Arsenal. “I felt aggrieved and I now face an FA charge for what, to my mind, was simply telling the truth. In fact, I am looking forward to the challenge because, to my mind, I have not said anything out of place, however much the media urge the FA to take action.”

And they say Fergie is getting senile…
WTF is SAF going on about, why mention Dalglish? Are Liverpool now a threat AGAIN?
Hello guys. Some quick thoughts from me.
Rio said he doesn’t remember when was the last time United lost 3 games in a row. It’s not that we are entitled to sacrificing some things in order to get the rest but i wouldn’t mind losing 3 games in a row if we won the title in May. 3 games in a row lost ? There are things in life much worse than that like indifference, not trying etc. But i am confident we can turn it around but it should be a tough tough game i believe. 1-0 will do with Park scoring. Hope he is available.
Kiev made my day.
Come on you reds!
he mentioned dalglish because dalglish was taking shots,nothing to do with the dippers being a threat
He mentioned Dalglish because he is a hypocritical idiot. Liverpool a threat? Only to our players’ well being.
Wayne, Dalglish hadn’t even been their manager for than 24hrs, is Babel who posted the pic. Is he feeling threated by Dalglish?
Fucking Graham Taylor throwing in his two penneths. Useless cunt – the worst football manager I have ever witnessed. Just shows what pricks the media in this country are taking notice of what he has to say.
@jojo dalgish took shots at sir alex for having a go at the ref after the chelsea game,nothing to do with the dipper game and babel picture
He is mentioning Dalglish and Taylor to point out the hypocrisy of their criticisms of Fergie in the media the past week.
If he was only mentioning Dalglish because he feels threatened then does he also feel threatened by Taylor, by your logic he must be jojo, lol, sounds like a dipper to me.
Agreed Graham Taylor is fucking idiot, although responding only gives the press ammunition
Last time United lost 3 games in a row was 2001. That’s why Rio doesn’t remember it, lol.
Atkinson should be struck off.
I don’t want to sound like some sort of crazed Spanish inquisitor but people who mouth off about Sir Alex really ought to be tied to a big stake and burned in the town square. I mean seriously, the papers wouldn’t print it if some guy with an A-Level in physics made claims that Stephen Hawking was full of shit, so why are these utterly insignificant gobshites like Taylor given leave to run their mouths? Nobody cares what an entirely irrelevant gobshite like him has to say.
Sir Alex is a titan, the greatest manager of any sports team in any sport in the history of mankind. Better than anybody before, likely to be better than any to follow judging from his contemporaries. You just don’t talk about titans and legends of the game like that, like you know something they don’t. Sir Alex Ferguson will live forever, he will be a legend of United, a legend of football, for as long as men wear red and kick a round thing into a goal. Graham Taylor isn’t even dead yet and people have already forgotten who he is, or was. The sheer audacity of an illiterate piece of amphibian shit like him trying to tell Sir Alex anything boggles the mind.
No Jojo. Dalglish moaned at Webb, in the cup game, but he’s saying SAF should respect the refs? Hypocrite, me thinks.
Wayne read….
People have short memories,” Ferguson said. “Kenny Dalglish looked to be lecturing me in the papers about the need to respect referees, perhaps forgetting that not so long ago his players were tweeting critically all over the place about Howard Webb.”
Were did Dalglish talk about the Chelsea game?
http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/85/england/2011/03/06/2381885/give-referees-the-respect-they-deserve-kenny-dalglish-takes
Dalgish was asked a question and he answered it genuinely by saying we need to stop harassing the referees!
Unless its a direct attack on Slur Alex (saying Alex should stop) I don’t understand why there’s any need to attack Dalglish?
His attempt at mind games are old hat and everybody’s bored of him now! Dalglish wiped the floor with him in the 80s and mid 90s when he tried it and he’ll wipe the floor with him if he tries it now!
The cantankerous old sod needs to retire because football goes in cycles and his shit old team is coming to an end. He’s too old and the clubs too skint for him to make another.
Usually the Shite are good this time of year! maybe 2 or 3 more losses before the seasons out with that away record of yours.
The party is over!
fuckoff GOAL? Hahahahaha
@jojo after the chelsea game and before the dipper game dalglish made a statement about respecting refs,didn’t mention sir alex by name but it was obvious who he was having a dig at.
No brash statements…no hyperbole…no vitriol…Liverpool may not be a threat to you this season, but THAT IS ABSOLUTELY ABOUT TO CHANGE…and if you’ve been paying attention, folks, you know that’s the truth. The pendulum has already begun to swing. Stand by…
Know your history, SAF has no respect for Dalglish – Scotland and WC in Mexico…………
Don’t like goal?

@Barz lol are you a dipper fan pretending to be a bitter,or a bitter pretending to be a dipper. please don’t do a tick,tock,tick,tock. lol dippers and bitters what a fucking laugh
Wayne, Ever thought GOAL was Hyerbole? Again it still doesn’t give SAF reason, unless hes panicing.
Oh dear. Bitters are now impersonating dippers.
@jojo see it how you want to see it,just defending himself and pointing out dalglish is a hypocrite in my eyes.
The fightback has well and truly began
And they have a nerve to disrespect the man
Watch and learn
@wayne
Oh no mate. He is panicking. He is afraid of King Kenny, his fascinating hair style and how up to date he is with today’s football.
@Costas yeah mate made my morning how long is it for them 21yrs now everything is about to change.lol
@MG
Just in time for more futuristic talk.
Wiped the floor with him in the 80s and 90s? Really? Dalglish is a dinosaur, It’ll all end in tears. That was your cup final last week and you know It.
Well done Fergie, stand up and fight. What will we do once this great man calls it a day. Hats off to you SAF.
Dalglish’s players who tweeted about Webb are all gone and sold to a Germany team.
@wayne Ferguson might be 9 years older, but Dalglish is a fossil when it comes to management. I hope they keep him. “He wiped the floor with Ferguson in the 80s and 90s. And what happened next? Hang them out to dry. The “King’s” final act.
Dalglish is a wanker!. He talks as if he’s been there, done tt & won the lot!. What a cunt he is!. He doesn’t even come close to earnin’ respect fm neutral fans wz what David Moyes has achieved wz Everton, let alone the top 3 managers in Ancelotti, Wenger & Fergie!. The FA & whatever associations fm the referee’s or league managers r but a bunch of wankin’ faggots!. The media r dickheads!.
So, Fergie, give it to them wankers!. U r more than qualified than anyone else to defend & lecture these wankers!. Fuck them all!!.
@Costas yes mate the dippers have one good game against a tired beaten up utd side now everything is going to change,the dippers and bitters are very much a like bunch of deluded cunts.
gotta go to work it sucks being your own boss have to get back for the game.hope i don’t miss to much fun expect the gooners to start showing up
Daglish is a creep,you could see him in the stands with ian rush week in week out. Plotting and scheming away behind rafa`s and hodgson back.Going out for dinner with the new owners.Bit of advice for any future liverpool manager,hang him from the gates by his balls.
I carnt wait for the ref”s to moan about the intimidation they get at oldtrafford
@wayne
Nah, I think they’ll save it for after the game. Can’t see them showing their face after last week. See you later.
@mark flynn
Well said.
“Next year is our year”
Isn’t that what we hear every year???
Wiped the floor in 80s and 90s? How do work that out idiot?Sir Alex saw off Dogleish with the Loserpool, then saw him off with Blackburn then again with the Geordies. You would think a Dipper that constantly reads history would know that but then it would not be the first Dipper that has had his head in the sand for the last 20odd years.
In the future
Liverpool will hate city when they have more champions league wins than them
Only in the future though
Liverpool are going to win every trophy next year
In FM 2012
Dalglish’s veiled references and insinuations reflect his anonymity in the Premiership.
Sir Alex’s direct statements clearly show a candid and sincere leader of men.
Next year Dalglish will be knighted for beating United
@Jojo and haters. you dont talk crap here. come next season you will be wallowing in de midtables with your “king”. this is not de 80′s or 90′s dudes, you got to live in de present-which you are not part of.
Next year the press will give Kenny Dalglish the best manager award for getting to fourth
SAF is just responding to some unwarranted talk by fossil daglish. if you don’t like it go fuck the devil
Next year Jamie Carragher will be the recipient of the United Nations award for leading humanitarian
Fuck it Tell it like it Sir Alex and @ doghouse damn !! that was Epic;the man is Legend talk about football and his name’s there. Fucking pundits,arseholes the lot of them. Not sure if any current United players write for the papers but imagine the disgust i felt when i saw jermaine jenas at be back of a daily, can’t remember which,talking gobshite about football. Why would SAF want to talk to any of lot ? It’ll be like going to the dentist every other day, No Thanks
Next year Steven Gerrard will finally win the trophy that he has been waiting for
The Keys to scouse house Liverpool City lol
Next year
Liverpool will consider Manchester City as their only threat from Manchester
Costas
Have I done ok?
@MG
Lol, awesome. You’ve officially conviced the dippers that they are worse than the bitters.
Delusion is spreading around.
Costas
Delusion beverage non alcoholic for city
Delusion beverage 100% alcoholic for scousers
Two teams on the extreme of delusion
@MG
I wonder if they see the same future in their delusions.
Frustration With Ferguson Starting To Set In
http://www.theunitedreligion.com/2011/03/frustration-with-ferguson-starting-to.html
Yeah but Costas
Is it that;
City are equal to liverpool in delusion
or
Liverpool equal to city in delusion
Wenger had is right the other day. When are UEFA going to be held accountable for shitty refereeing decisions rather than holding him accountable for his comments after the Barcelona game.
Same applies to the FA. Give em HELL SAF.
Them cnuts at the FA got alot to thank SAF for what he brought to the English game.
Ferguson must be the biggest hypocrite and most poisonous influence in the history of English football.
This is the man who:
- was manager of United when they took part in a mass brawl in 1990 with Arsenal players leading to both teams being docked points
- condoned (promoted?) the systematic harassment of referees through Bruce, Ince, Keane etc, culminating in the shocking Andy D’Urso incident; only when the media were repulsed by this tactic, did Ferguson cynically adopt a more muted approach to referee intimidation (mind you, it was only a few months ago that Fletcher pushed Webb during their match with Arsenal and got away with it)
- condoned the attack on a (albeit yobbish) spectator by Cantona (Hero!)
- condoned the serial diving of Ronaldo
- tolerated the constant verbal abuse of referees by Rooney – the whole country can easily lipread ‘fuckin’ wanker’ nowadays
- condoned the thuggish elbow in the face of McCarthy by Rooney recently.
This is top of the head stuff – with a little bit of research …….
With jaw-dropping cynicism, and spin tactics that would embarrass Goebbels (or even Alistair Campbell) Ferguson has recently tried to deflect media attention from the Rooney elbow incident by blowing up the Chelsea decisions and the Carragher tackle. With some success he took the focus away from Rooney and onto himself by attacking Atkinson, in the knowledge that he would get a fine and ban, but also that it would take the heat away from Rooney. These latest criticisms of Taylor and Kenny are consistent with this tactic. As for the Babel incident – does he not know that Babel was fined £10k – and of course isn’t even a Liverpool player any longer. Not to mention the fact that a very long history of atrocious decisions at OT was what prompted the tweet in the first place.
His must-win attitude at the cost of any degree of integrity, sense of fair play or respect for the opposition/referees/authorities has poisoned football in this country. Watch any kids match anywhere in the country and you’ll see the youngsters (and their dads) aping the appalling attitudes on display every week in the premiership.
This man, more than any other in the game today, is to blame for most of what is wrong with modern day football. Pity the media are too much up his arse to acknowledge it.
Fergie has a selective memory. Keane on Alfie Haaland ? No criticism. Surrounding Andy D’urso ? No criticism. Wayne Rooney elbows a player ? No criticism.
Kiss my scouse *rse red nose
Off topic.
One day a Jew, a Hindu, and a scouser all arrived at their hotel to find that there had been a mix-up with the bookings, and that there was only one room left for them to share. The manager explained that this room only had two beds, but that there was a barn at a neighbouring farm which the farmer, an old friend of his, would let one of them sleep in free of charge.
They complained a bit, but since there was nowhere else to go, the Jew graciously said he’d sleep inthe barn. The Hindu and the scouser were just settling down to sleep in their room, when there was a knock on the door. It was the Jew.
“I’m sorry,” he said, “but there’s a pig in that barn and because I’m Jewish I feel uncomfortable about sharing the barn with it.” “No problem,” said the Hindu. “I’ll sleep out there instead.” So off he went to the barn, leaving the scouser and the Jew to share the room.
They were just settling down to sleep, when there was a knock on the door. It was the Hindu. “I’m sorry,” he said, “but there’s a cow in that barn and because I’m a Hindu I feel uncomfortable about sharing the barn with it.”
The scouser grudgingly agreed to give up his bed and stomped off to the barn, leaving the Jew and the Hindu to share the room. The Jew and the Hindu were just settling down to sleep, when there was a knock on the door.
It was the cow and the pig.

And go cream your pants somewhere else you Scouse cunts.
If you deluded Mancunian (loose term – we know most ManU fans are not even from Manchester unlike city fans) idiots can’t see that your club is in trouble then you’re bigger fool’s than even I ever though!
Here’s a little history lesson for you and a little parallel for you too!
In the mid 60s Man Utd and Liverpool had 7 titles each. Then through the 70s and 80s Liverpool reeled off 11 titles and United remained on 7. Liverpool where pipped to the 19th title by Arsenal in a very close race and that was that. In the 90s and 00s Man Utd reeled off 11 titles and we both stand today on 18 titles each.
So now United are going for 19th title and Arsenal close!!!
Freaky or what!!!
The party is over and even the dolts amongst you (most of you) must admit Liverpool are looking good on the pitch, in the boardroom and have a manager that’s been there, seen it and DONE it!
I too would like you all to raise a glass and kiss my scouse *rse!!! LOL
jojo
Are you having a hard on – is that what happens when you have one – do you get so fucking aroused that you have a overflow of blood rushing to your head and speaking fucking shit?
Wow – Goebbels?
Seriously in a time when their is mass casualties and destruction in the world notably Palestine Libya and Japan for very different reasons all you have to do is try to say that SAF is worse than Goebbels?
Manchester United never killed anyone – never put anyone to death – they never had a final solution to wipe out a race
I know football is very passionate but then you get fucking total waste of life and space like yourself who has not the common sense but more importantly the human decency to recognise that it’s just a game at the end of the day.
Oh dear Lord – I thought I had heard it all – but thanks to you it becomes a whole new ball game
I understand the hatred of the man and Manchester United I never thought that anyone could equate the Nazis and United
Shallow – fucking shallow to the bone
Scousepower
Twenty years of fuckallness ably assisted by an over achieving CL win
I wouldn’t even dare to ask you to kiss my real red ass – so fuck off back to your scouse house nice and quietly
That a boy
If there’s one subject you Scouse fucks could ever dream of passing – Its history.
MG, i don’t care about Liverpool or United.
I’m a Celtic fan, Does the truth hurt?
Jojo and Redmist for the record. Dalgish clearly encouraged this disrespect of Howard Webb by saying Babel should not have been punished by the FA and accusing them of having no sense of humour. This to anyone sensible minded petrson is encouraging this kind of disrespect of officials. Also Dalglish’s own son accused Webb of being corrupt and accepting bribes from United. If this is not questioning Webb’s integrity what is? Personally I used to be a big fan of Dalglish as a player but as a manager I found him to be very two faced and now dislike him because of this. Dalglish has a tendency to criticise other managers when he is hardly gods gift to management himself. How can you call Liverpool a threat yes they beat United and Chelsea yet lie down to teams like Blackpool and West Ham as well as Braga.
jojo
Celtic are shit
In a league of two since one Sir Alex Ferguson left Aberdeen
Fuck off you idiot now does the truth sting you and hurt?
I bet it does
MG, yes we’re shit at the moment, but that another subject.
Ask your why do you alway blame the Ref? Why do you think the FA is out to get you? then read my post again.
OHGood luck today. Nice goal.
Wow. Some really well thought out arguments here. Basically, everything Ferguson does is 100% correct and beyond reproach and anyone who doesn’t agree is a f*******! c***.
Jojo is a virgin and a lonely pint. Doesn’t support United or Liverpool, but hangs around on a United blog. A lonesome dove lol.
jojo
Let me answer your question because you are a hypocrite
Why does Neil Lennon feel victimised?
Is it because he feels hard done by certain decisions?
Is it because he feels he has been unfairly treated?
Is it because he feels he has no choice but to defend his team when shit is thrown at them for no reason at all?
I see you will find all answers to your questions a resounding yes
Therefore fuck off because your implications that we are manipulating the officials is utter bollocks
The last two matches were fucking diabolical considering the ref decisions – the Carragher tackle was the outstanding moment of pathetic behaviour from all ABU’s concerned
They hammered United and towards the end of the week they themselves retracted their obvious wrong handling of the situation when most media and observers alike acknowledged that United were hard done by.
Wow – shame but a bit late.
As for Rooney – well you are the bigger idiot – most United fans knew that it was too good to be true that he got away with his elbow at Wigan – he should have been banned straight up
That incident was beaten to death by the media and observers – yet earlier on the season and in play Steven Gerrard elbowed our Danny Welbeck far worse yet got away scott free from the officials and the media – where were you then jojo – having another wank on you’ll never walk alone like them lot?
Do yourself a favour and fuck off from here – if you haven’t noticed we don’t give a shit about Celtic because this is United.
bolton 4eva
No but you are a fucking cunt for again lying about the club
We all make mistakes and SAF has had his fair share no question
But people like you who either hate the club or dislike the club for whatever reason cannot stop spouting lies about the club
You can fuck off back to your club too – what is it they don’t give you the X factor like United gives us?
Fool
@bolton 4eva why are you even on here this is a utd blog and not sure were you’ve been for the last 25yrs but utd have won quite a few trophies under sir alex so of course anyone slagging him is going to come under fire.
Oh jojo. WHat a pathetic troll. Some of his highlights:
