Fergie: I Didn’t Expect FA To Punish Gerrard

Ahead of Sunday’s match against Liverpool, journalists were searching for a Sir Alex Ferguson rant against the FA, asking him what he thought of Steven Gerrard getting away with two red card offences in a week.

First Gerrard stuck his fingers up at Andre Marriner and told him to “fuck off” but no action was taken. Then he clattered Michael Brown around the back of his head and again the FA failed to act.

Our manager has opted for a more sensible response to this question, claiming that he never believed the “crazy” disciplinary panel would act.

“I didn’t expect anything to happen to Steven Gerrard,” he said. “It is a dysfunctional unit. I don’t know what they are doing. There is no consistency for a start and I didn’t expect to get any. I am not too bothered about it. They can do what they want down there. It is crazy at times.”

    I say let him play… If we dick them on sunday who doesn’t want to see Gerrard out there taking part?

  3. Dimitar Berbatov is King says:

    Good one Fergie. Those dippers never learn. Assholes.

  4. Costas says:

    Well said Fergie.

    Expect the cunts to charge him now.

    FA alwiz like that…hope this sunday we’ll punish scousers & let them taste 4 not qualifying champions league…

    hate gerrard! hate scousers!

  6. Muggaz says:

    you know he will get a talking to for bringing the FA into disrepute or something extremely cynical like that. We will show the FA by simply winning number 19… excuse the language, but the FA, and Liverpool for that matter can go and fuck themselves, they can’t hold us back.

  7. bchilds says:

    We’ll beat the scouse bastards with Saint Stevie & the tranny in their team!

  8. number7shirt says:

    I’d love to hear the FA’s reason’s for not charging Stevie GBH, but don’t suppose we’ll ever get to…

    Can’t wait to toss the dirty scouse shite’s this weekend

    The FA said the Ref wrote in his report that he saw the incident and dealt with it how he deemed fit. So smacking someone in the back of the head with your forearm is just a free-kick according to him. But because the ref admits to seeing it the FA can’t change the decision.

    No wonder the respect campaign doesn’t work.

    Well said SAF

    They will ban him for 2 games now.

    Also expect FSW to come up with his facts in response to this

    Regarding the vermin it would appear their two results this week against Pub teams have given them a bit too much confidence. Shut it Javier. It seems they are getting a bit cocky.

  12. Costas says:

    So if Vida breaks the ladyboy’s face and the referee is happy with just giving away a free kick then Vida won’t get punished? Good to know. Respect my ass.

  13. NotoriousRedDevil says:

    Have you heard some of the justifications from dippers and the media defending Gerrard. The word thug (which I once personally thought as a compliment) isn’t being brandished about for Stevie ME ME ME! Rio was called all sorts of things by the media & Evra after chelskigate. Perhaps only people of ethnicity can be labelled thugs so maybe it is a compliment after all.

    No consistency, double standards and quite frankly no testicular fortitude whatsoever by these cunts known as the FA. I hope off the ball tomorrow someone crushes stevie me skull and nobody is looking when it happens. Someone like Gibson who comes on as a sub in the 80th minute. He’ll probably get banned for
    A) Being Irish & purposely destroying Ingurlands WC chances.
    B) Being a United Player.

    @Briggsy,

    In that case the FA should suspend the ref for failing to punish a blatant elbowing.

    Fergie is right to call them crazy.

    We will beat the scousers with or without Stevie Me.

  15. andykong says:

    well said and fully agree. Half expecting the media to run with this now, like always. After FSW’s rant about facts last year, i’ve noticed how many times he has hypocritically made comments about refs but that doesn’t get picked up.

  16. Briggsy says:

    @Xyrth

    Fooking ridiculous if you ask me. On one hand they can punish someone because the ref didn’t see it and on the other they’re unable too as the official did see it and did not carry out the correct punishment.

    Even more stupid then getting a yellow card for sarcastically applauding a ref and nothing for flicking the V’s and saying fook off.

  17. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    what i love here is stevie me gets away with it…….again…..
    but because sir alex said the truth here he’ll more than likely get in trouble with the fa

  18. willierednut says:

    @King Eric
    It’s time to put the fuckers in there place, the lads have to be up for this one.

  19. rrou says:

    god knows it might just be what we need to fire us up on Sunday, maybe there’s a utd fan on the discipline board that feels this way too ^^

  20. james21 says:

    After that Jury cleared him of GBH having being caught on Camera smacking the guy you can’t expect the Halfwits at the FA to charge him, 3 times now in about three weeks he should have been charged. Let him try it on Sunday.

  21. Dave_pistol says:

    the FA – what a carnival of cunts

  22. Gandalf says:

    It’s the referee who is a disgrace…very annoying, but what can we do. We’ll show them on the pitch.

  23. Jandsdad says:

    well said Sir Alex

    @ Scott

    good to see the Username and email address stays up after posting

  24. RobDiablo says:

    You have to understand that the FA have a very noticeable bias for London based teams, two of which are vying with United for the Premier League crown. They also have a chip on their collective shoulder where United are concerned–most likely dating back to Matt Busby’s decision to play in Europe despite being told not to. Put those two assertions together, and you’ll see why no action against Gerrard was to be expected. Had Liverpool’s next match been against Chelsea or Arsenal, however, things just might have gone differently.

  25. King Eric says:

    According to all the “experts” the dippers are back in “great form”. Do me a fucking favour. Beating the dejected Pompey and pub team on the night Lille means fuck all. Goughy even described Stevie Me’s form the last week as “fantastic”. Yeah right.

  26. lawman10 says:

    fergie & united can hurt gerrard more then the FA this sunday,
    by giving that twat gerrard and his scumbag team, a fucking battering! leaving them the thought of united winning title number 19.
    now thats fucking punishment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    fucking hate the scouse bastards

  27. themarkedman72 says:

    the englsih dont usually advertise themselves as stupid to the rest of the world so candidly.

    What is different about the F.A. ?

  28. Tonka Norris says:

    That disciplinary panel is worth taking a look at. I think one of the members is a former manager of spurs (and others), better at getting a gig than keeping it. Can’t recall the name but he crops up as an opiniated match commentater at times. I turn the volume down.

    Roll on Sunday. I wonder if Vidic is going for a personal best by staying on more than 80 mins. If you gotta go lad at least take one of theirs with you, huh?

  29. krex says:

    the FA didnt punish gerrard bcos liverpool cant do without him especially this time of the season!!!!! after all they r playing us!! they need him otherwise they cant even get close to us!!!! its all under hand dealing!!! the FA is corrupted!!!!!!!!

  30. parjo says:

    I want Stevie G to play, so when we beat L’pool no L’pool fans will say, “Stevie G didn’t play, so of course Utd beat us.” No, just let Stev G play.

  31. wruth03 says:

    To me it smacks of an FA conspiracy in favour of the dippers. The FA are looking for any excuse not to charge Stevie Me. The fact is footballers are role models what kind of example has this set for today’s youngsters? A very negative one that is for sure. I mean do we want our children to copy this loutish thug? Hardlyit is time our useless FA took him to task but of course it will not as the FA are governed by the press. As we all know Stevie Me is the media’s darling therefore no action will ever be taken against St Stevie of Me. Personally I firmly agree with Sir Alex the FA are crazy and dysfunctional. Really they should charge themselves for bringing the game into disrepute but I would not hold my breath. Actually FA stands for what they do for the game flip all.
