Manchester United legend

Chapter 211 Chapter 210

Ferguson was filled with righteous indignation and fired at the referee immediately after the game, "I don't want this kind of incident to happen-Jost argued with the referee against Middlesbrough. In fact, the penalty kick did not exist at all. But the referee obviously remembered Jost. I think this is why the referee targeted Manchester United. Frankly speaking, we have no blood feud with the referee, and he has no need to target us."

"Jost is indeed responsible, but whether his foul is enough to be ejected is another question." Ferguson said, "Jost's first yellow card was because he had an argument with the referee. The referee felt that he was offended, and there was no problem with the yellow card. But I would say that his action against Robert Lee in the second half was not too much. The referee's penalty scale was too harsh. In my opinion, the referee just wanted to send him out."

Ferguson's comments sparked the ire of the referee and a reaction from the FA.

The reporters immediately publicized these words with embellishments, putting Ferguson and Manchester United on the cusp.

Of course, Ferguson has always been the "object of concern" of the referee committee. It is not surprising that the FA wants to make something happen.Not only is this 3-0 defeat eye-catching enough, the situation of the players "sieging" the referee against Middlesbrough has been played up by the media as a focus event-"Manchester United players attack the referee unscrupulously and domineeringly. Do they think they are really the masters of the Premier League?!"

The media and fans, including Manchester United's opponents, have forgotten why the Red Devils "sieged the referee" because the referee awarded Middlesbrough a penalty that did not exist, and Manchester United was treated unfairly!
It's not that Manchester United want to dominate the Premier League, but that the referees are indeed stealing the show.

Not only Ferguson is attacking the referee, in addition to Middlesbrough coach Robson, Newcastle coach Robson and Chelsea coach Vialli have all expressed their dissatisfaction with the referee.

In fact, the referee has really become a topic that the Premier League cannot but face.

Manchester United's loss to Newcastle became the focus after the game because of Ferguson's shocking shot, the referee's own goal and Jost's red card.

Of course, the unexpected result of the final score is more concerned, but this week, the Premier League has experienced frequent earthquakes, and Manchester United's defeat to Jost was actually not the most interesting thing in this round.

The referee is the focus of this round.

In another crucial game, the referee became the clown on the field.

The players of Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur fought most of the time. Leeds United Irish defender Ian Hart deliberately stepped on the opponent's Perry.

But even so, the referee didn't care at all.And Leeds United's Bowyer was even more mischievous. He actually kicked Clemens who was off the ball on purpose, triggering a group fight involving 18 people.

Both Bowyer and Hart deserved red cards, but the quality of the referee was questioned - how could such an important game completely get out of hand? !
In this game, the two teams were whistled for 34 fouls, and the referee took out 8 yellow cards.But even so, the referee still lost effective management of the game.

Tottenham coach Graham said: "Not only Hart and Bowyer should be ejected, but Kelly's rugby-style foul on Ginola should also be sent off because he was the last defender." O'Leary shot back: "I know old George (Graham) will say that because his eyes are refracted by the rain and fog. But it is not my fault that the Tottenham players are not stable on the field."

Also, Chelsea and Wimbledon were a mess.After leaving the field, the players even fought directly in the channel.

Chelsea's Wise had a dispute with opposing defender Cunningham, and the two sides fought directly regardless of the mediation of the staff.Cunningham knocked Wise on the head, and Wise responded with a punch.

Players from both sides quickly joined in and fought each other.In the end, the police had to be dispatched to bring the farce under control.In fact, Wise and the opponent had clashed many times during the game, but the referee completely ignored it.

The FA finally announced investigations and charges against the four teams and severely punished the players involved.

The FA also charged Ferguson and Robson with fines for "inappropriate remarks against referees".

What about the FA for poor referees who are almost a joke?It is very disappointing that the FA still defend the refereeing, they have not issued any statement admitting that the referee was inappropriate, and there is no promise to improve the refereeing level.

Amidst the ridicule and questioning, the FA's masters turned into ostriches and buried their heads in the sand.

After Manchester United lost this game, their point advantage over Leeds United has returned to only 3 points.

The second and third places Arsenal and Liverpool are only 6 points behind Manchester United, and the suspense of the league championship has been rekindled.

After Manchester United lost 0 to 3 to Newcastle, a fierce battle ensued in the league-the opponent was Leeds United.

This is a real battle for the top of the table: Manchester United ranked first in the standings at the time, followed by Leeds United in second, with a difference of only 3 points between the two sides.

Even if Leeds United beat Manchester United, it is impossible to surpass their opponents immediately-Manchester United's goal difference is far more than that of Los Blancos.

The media didn't care about this, they played up this game, and it was almost a decisive battle to determine the title of the champion.

Ferguson attached great importance to this game, and he even recalled Trinity and Tobago's main striker York, who was participating in the Central and North American Gold Cup in the United States.

The combination of Cole and Sheringham in the previous few games was not powerful enough, and Solskjaer was considered by Ferguson to be more suitable to play on the bench.

Facing a big battle, Ferguson's most trusted striker combination is still "black wind and double evil".For this reason, Ferguson even did not hesitate to offend the coach of Trinity and Tobago, insisting that Yorke give up the national team game and return to England the day before the game. Manchester United even sent a plane to pick up the player.

The quarrel between Ferguson and the coach of Trinity and Tobago became a hot topic in the pre-match media reports, but then a more sensational news broke out in the pre-League preparations for Manchester United, which was about Ferguson and Beckham.

On Friday, the media sensitively discovered that Beckham was absent from team training. Just as everyone was speculating, a fierce quarrel broke out between Beckham and Ferguson during training on Saturday morning.

The media photographed Ferguson furiously scolding Beckham on the training ground.And "Glamorous" defended not to be outdone, and his voice was also very loud.

What happened next stunned the eyes of Manchester United fans: Ferguson directly drove Beckham out of the training ground, while Beckham tossed his clothes and drove away from the Carrington training base angrily.
