The FA’s dealing of Patrice Evra following the fuss that ensued during Manchester United’s warm down at Stamford Bridge the season before last was nothing short of totally ludicrous. Despite the CCTV showing no proof of what the racist claimed and Evra having to be left-handed to hit Bethell where it is claimed (he’s right-handed) the FA banned Evra for an incredible four matches!
It appears as though our lads haven’t learnt their lesson though with Gary Neville getting involved in a row with a steward and a senior police officer.
Neville and Jonny Evans were apparently warming down in front of our own fans when a steward told them to move due to “safety concerns”. Neville apparently refused to move and got involved with a row which lead to the police officer becoming involved. Neville then reluctantly moved elsewhere to complete the warm down.
They didnt get as far as the Utd fans, they got stopped as they came out of the tunnel. Very strange, given that in recent years the whole Liverpool team has come out to warm down, running round the whole pitch right in front of United supporters.
At the time, the ground was pretty much empty apart from the United fans who were kept in for about 20 minutes (Shorter than usual).
Several Liverpool players then came out to warm down, doing a few hurdles in front of the main stand then jogging at the Kop end.
I can see it.Steward will file complaint that neville abused him.FA WILL BAN NEVILLE FOR 4-5 GAMES.They dont need evidence when a case is against a United player or against Fergie.Anti United bastards.Rooney and the rest should stop campaigning for the FA.
What”s that on gary”s finger?
A fucking joke this is becoming….
Ban him for the rest of the season!
So pro footballers have to warm down because there manager ,who in this case is Sir Alex Ferguson, tells them to. happens al the time and in the world if your boss tells you something ya do it. but some scouse steward has the right to over rule your boss and tell you they know better than your boss incase you start a fight and or riot with people who idolise you
Long John O’Shea Said,October 27th, 2009 @12:14 A fucking joke this is becoming….
and how right he is but god forbid Gary Neville say any of my valid points or repeat the statement to the steward because then The Red Nev is in the wrong??
and as we know logic is a stupid thing for Neville can use at this point because he’s already on his last straw due to been happy and running in front of the united fans when the secord a 6 minute winner against the local rivals and used logic again and stopped short of been happy in front of the city fans
Good to see some players had a short fuse after Sunday’s game. We know what will happen now. Gazza will have to get banned for 5-10 games.
Gary Gary Neville.. moaning about something?! Wow.
Sounds ridiculous though, what’s the harm?
I wonder if it hadn’t ave been the red nev wud anything ave been made of it, we all know how the dippers feel about gary.
Some of our more ignorant players seem to think they can have as much time as they like and take as long as they like doing a warm down. And be rude to groundstaff into the bargain.
In an ideal world, maybe.
But lets be fair, they are on someone elses turf, and those people have have jobs to do and probably homes to go to after a game – or at least a quick visit to the bar.
Sometimes our boys should grow up and realise that they are not at home, that when they play away they are not the local heroes.
After all you wouldnt go into someone elses house and behave like that would you.
And the sooner we get rid of Mike Phelan (who obviously lied at the oevrblown farce that was the Chelsea incident) the better, lets get someone in who can do the job of assistant, its not good for the future of our club to have an idiot in such a high place.
Come on, SirAl, get the boys sorted!!
Atleast he did not slap the steward. HE would have got banned for life because he plays for the RED Manchester and not the blue Shite!
@jehode – the fans were still there, so what’s the problem? If the fans are there the stewards have to be. Have they never heard of warm-downs in their stadium?
Anyone know much about this chap???

Im a liverpool fan and here is what I know happened about this. Gary Neville came out to warm down in front of the away fans (your fans) who had been kept in thr ground for obvious reasons. The stewards at that end had been pretty much decommisioned, and there were still some Liverpool fans in the ground, so the Liverpool steward asked Neville and Evans to move to a part of the ground were the stewards were to warm down, because he thought it might be an unrest issue to have him on the pitch near were liverpool fans might be able to get to him, or wind him up, etc. Gary objected to moving amd only when the copper told him it was a safety concern would he move. Thats it, there will be nothing more come of it – we dont like neville as much as he doesnt like us and from the kop on sunday I could see him getting wound up by the liverpool fans on the touchline but he gave as good as he got which is to be expected. But really there was nothing in this at all. I read from a steward who posts on our forums that Mike Phelan was well angry with Neville about it.
Doesnt matter if he gets a five game ban does it anyway – he doesnt play more than two gamea a year now.
@Long John O’Shea
The sun is trash.dont believe those rumours.Although Lopez is a good goalkeeper.I saw him last year and he looks pretty decent.I wish VDS stays on.Just love him.atleast for 1 more year.he is so calm and composed.I would love to see one of these
1.Neuer
2.Akinfeev
3.Lopez
4.Diego Alves(Almeria)
5.rene Adler(Bayer leverkusen)
Seen most of them and they are good keepers.anyone will be good for us
stu
In the time it took me to read what you wrote i can tell ya
it happen in less than half that time
Wats wrong stu did gary jingle his premier league medals at ya’s.
Theres nothing wrong – i couldnt give a monkeys about neville or what he does, and wouldnt really be arsed ever taking the piss out of him or be bothered about if he did the same back. i was merely pointing out that in this incident in particular, fuck all happened. I thought my post was of more benefit to stop people going on about how it was our fault or his fault, etc. when really it was just a storm in a tea cup.
jehode – How the fuck can you slag Phelan. I assume you are always in the inner circle and knows what goes on. As Norman an “insider” called in to mutv the other day people should stop slagging Phelan if they have no idea what he or Carlos did. Fergie wouldn’t have him for the best part of 20 years if he thought he was shite.
No fair play to Stu. His version of events are what I saw on Sunday, as are Tufty’s. Why are people slagging Stu ?
Just a bit of banter king eric.
willierednut – Sorry mate!
Stu got it right, get off his back. Its just another situation where Nev loses it for a stupid reason, hey we cxant all be intellectual can we – not that i’m like intellectual like but you know what I mean.
As for Phelan, you really cant compare him with Carlos, different leagues entirely. I was shocked when Phelan got his job. Carlos was intelligent, astute, clever and had principles and integrity.
this is my 3rd and final chance at asking this I really hope someone could help me once again i need help i was wondering if anyone was a member of the rednews forum
I got sent this link
http://www.rednews.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=531100
I think Its about Emily I was just wondering what it is
Agree with jehode, I’d welcome back Carlos Querioz, only for his tactical genius.
Carlos Queiroz !!! please come back!
it would be a huge boost.
perhaps after the world cup …
Why oh why do people bang on about Quireoz tactical genius? Defensive genius maybe. If Phelan is good enough for Fergie he is good enough for me. Along with Renee they are both spot on at what they do. Doing a great job for Portugal ain’t he. Nobody knows what the coaches and Fergies backroom staff bring to the cause yet people feel the need after a defeat to get Quiroz back. Left us twice already.
PS Was watching a game from the 94/95 season and guess who was sat right next to Fergie and Kiddo? Yes Micky Phelan. So for people to doubt him is beyond me.
Stu, Liverpool fan:
I say fair enough to you, fella. I appreciate you giving me the info and in an obviously unbiased way.
Your rite king eric, wen united lose there’s always a scapegoat. Wether it be foster, phelan or whoever the players that started on sunday were good enough to give liverpoo a game, they just didn’t turn up. ps quireoz didn’t pick the team or the tactics saf did
Quireoz changed a lot behind the scenes at United, Ferguson admitted that.
Fergi said carlos was his right hand man and he meant it. I’m not saying without him we are done, but he was something special, You can’t deny that…
If he did decide to come back after the world cup and United wanted him, I know i wouldn’t be the only one smiling.
