@ GAGGZY - your last sentence:  my response:  OH YES WE WOULD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Just consider what these Cee-u-n-tees got away with just because Evra dropped his hand near to his nudger making it impossible for Luis to shake it without having a sexual molestation charge thrown at him.

1. Evra grabbed Luis' arm, which in the law of the land can be construed as assault. There's more chance of you winning the Euromillions three weeks on the spin than Vera, sorry, Evra being charged with assault.

2. Ferdinand immediately withdrew his hand from Luis (apparently, so did Welbeck further down the line of hate). Both players will have received a pat on the back instead of vilification.

3. 21 seconds into the game, Ferdinand prevents Evra scything into Suarez at 183 mph with a two-footed lunge which would have had Ron 'chopper' Harris, Tommy Smith, Graeme Souness, and any other hard man of yesteryear squirming in horror at the potential leg-shattering possibility. But we all know the ref would not have had the balls to send Evra off, especially after consulting with the fifth official - Ferguson.

4. Evra chases up the tunnel at half time faster than Usain Bolt to confront Luis causing a potential fracas .... again, no mention of him getting into trouble for this.

5. Then after the final whistle he starts prancing around like he's auditioning for Aerobics Oz Style or Davina McCall's latest keep-fit CD! All in front of Suarez, of course. No mention of him being repremanded for this - even the addled-alky said in his post-match Oscar performance that it was wrong, although he barely whispered it because he had already spent his guttural wine-drenched voice screaming at the nation of how disgraceful Luis Suarez was for daring to refuse to shake hands ... again, please don't hold your breath expecting the sot to be reprimanded or charged for the comments by the FA, they won't even go there.

If Ferguson would have sold/sacked/impounded every player who brought shame onto Manchester United during his whisky-soaked reign, most weeks he wouldn't have had 11 men to pick a team. Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand, just a few who spring to mind that have all done things on and off the pitch and in many-a-bed to bring ridicule and disgrace to the club.  So, Alex, when you open another bottle of plummy red tonight, just think about these things before you go telling Kenny which players to pick for our next match. Then when you have a full bottle of Glenfiddich for your nightcap, use the stairlift to go to bed as we wouldn't want you falling down the stairs and breaking your neck, now would we?
