Ferguson backs Eduardo suspension

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8238560.stm
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Uefa's decision to ban Arsenal striker Eduardo for two Champions League matches for diving.
The Croatia forward was found guilty of deceiving referee Manuel Gonzalez to win a penalty against Celtic in August.
Ferguson said European football's governing body had to send a strong disciplinary message because of the high-profile nature of the competition.
"I have to agree that something had to be done," said the Scot.
Arsenal were leading 2-0 on aggregate when Eduardo fell under a challenge from Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc.
The striker scored the resulting penalty and the Gunners went on to win the two-leg tie 5-1.
Arsenal are appealing against the ban and released a statement calling the decision by European football's governing body "deeply flawed".
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has accused Uefa of conducting a "witch-hunt" and claimed that they had set a dangerous precedent whereby any decision made by an official can be contested after the match.
   
And Ferguson, who is attending a Uefa coaching forum in Nyon - along with Wenger, among others - supports the way the Frenchman has dealt with the situation.
He added: "I agree with Arsene, I would ask the same question 'is it going to happen to everyone?'
"You become insular and protective of your own player and own team, we're all selfish that way.
"I would have been saying 'what about all the rest of the players?'.
"But I wouldn't have been pleased if my player had done that.
"I wouldn't say it publicly though, because when you do that you're in danger of losing the morale of the dressing room.
"Privately, as I've done many times, you have a different view, but I wouldn't do it publicly."
If Arsenal's appeal fails Eduardo will miss the trip to Standard Liege on 16 September and the home match with Olympiacos on 29 September.

Im sorry but when was he complaining over the last few seasons about the appalling diving like this: (The tantrum at the end of the video is hilarious too)

Ronaldo dive and tantrum vs Arsenal


Ronaldo Dive


ronaldo world diver of the year!

And if you wish to watch more just search youtube, you will find many many more.

Get lost Alex, stop sucking up to the UEFA while teaching your players how to dive.

I think there needs to be an 'official ferguscum hypocrisy thread' with the amount of crap he comes out with.

I love the bit in that last video where the lad who's giving the commentary says: "and the referee's bought it, what a tw*t!"

two-faced purple nosed f**ker.

Two faced shithouse

Ferguson manages to fit alot of dicks in his mouth the amount of cocks he is sucking around the football world keeping his nose clean while turning on everyone else, two faced c**t :

That made me laugh too 

Ferguson is such a hypocrit.

Thats just another example of the Football Execs kissing Fergies Ass.  Lord Alex always getting what he wants. He's a real life "Veruca Salt" from Charlie and Chocolate Factory.. He whines to big daddy and gets what he wants.

What a f***in' cockbag, sticking his pickled whisky nose into the conversation. Jesus Christ, Man U has  more "dives" than Greg Louganis.

I love that bitchy temper tantrum Ronaldo has. Awesome. f***in' Classic.

Oh, the biggest hypocrite in the football world.

What a complete w*nk rag....

Referee's bought it! What a T*at!!

Classic...

That f**k face is full of sh*t and he's not ashamedwith what he has said when he has got the whole team of divers. Just wonder what he'll say when that happens to shriek. Here we go again, the king of HYPOCRITE talking.

He'll completely ignore it, like he did for the past 4/5 years with Ronaldo.
