Gemmill 47363 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Heard about this on the radio this morning but wasn't sure of the story. Just saw this on NO. Quality by Shreeves: ALEX FERGUSON launched a foul-mouthed attack on a TV reporter in a bust-up over Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United's boss called Sky's Geoff Shreeves a 'f*****g bastard' and told him to 'f**k off'. Ferguson was furious with Shreeves for questioning his Portuguese wing wizard about allegedly cheating for his controversial penalty winner against Middlesbrough in Monday's FA Cup clash. The fiery Scot's off-camera rant was so loud a BBC interview with Boro chief Gareth Southgate had to be abandoned. Shreeves grilled Ronaldo about his latest 'cheat' storm in the tunnel after the quarter-final replay. Beeb reporter Ivan Gaskell then tried to record Southgate's verdict on the defeat for Match of the Day, only to have his work wind up on the cutting-room floor thanks to Ferguson. Here is the full transcript of the blast at Shreeves from Fergie's renowned 'Hairdryer'. SHREEVES: "I asked him . . . " FERGUSON: "F*****g (inaudible) bastard." S: "Don't talk to me like that." F: "F**k off to you." S: "Don't talk to me like that. Don't even think about it." F: "Don't you think about it, you ****. F**k off. Right?" S: "Listen, are you going to do the interview in a professional manner or not? Do you want to do it or not?" F: "You f*****g be professional. You be professional. You're the one." S: "I'm entitled to ask . . . . Cristiano gave the right answer." F: "F*****g hell with your answers." S: "Don't talk to me like that. Go away. If you want to behave civilly, fine. Don't talk to me like that." F: "F**k off." (door slams). Gaskell to Southgate: "I'm going to have to ask that question again, if that's all right." Ferguson later announced he was 'disgusted' at Shreeves' 'disgraceful' TV interview with Ronaldo. He said of Monday's spot-kick and Boro's anger: "It was a clear penalty. It's a shame. They are putting a stigma against the boy that he doesn't deserve." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7336 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 I think hes going senile tbh as every man and his dog knows that ronaldo is one of the worst cheats in the game. If the same had been said about another player on his team hed have let it slide. Guitly conscience alex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31641 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Half of Fergie's rant doesn't make sense, its just random words placed around swear words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 as probably the finest technical player in the premiership, ronaldo shouldn't resort to cheating, yet he does. bit of a shame really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 He's clearly just trying to make his job easier. Doesn't speak to BBC, now won't be speaking to Sky. Post-match work down to a minimum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Typical load of whingeing bollocks from Fergie. Ronaldo is a cheat and everyone knows fine well he is, so Fergie acting like a spoilt brat and throwing a tantrum won't change anything. Credit to Shreeves though who maintains his dignity and lets Fergie continue to make a complete cock of himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who does, he flys off the handle at or refuses to have anything to do with. As far as Ferguson is concerned, it's his way, or fuck off. It's made him a great manager, but also a bullying twat of the highest order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made him a great manager, but also a bullying twat of the highest order Fergie is a brilliant manager but a grade A cock. His whole life is dominated by personal greed as his ridiculous spat with the Coolmore mafia shows. He's given the lease of a top quality racehorse completely free of charge, makes a fortune in prize money, and then wants to sue them for the breeding rights after! The bullying of young players to sign with his son as their agent is well documented. I could go on and on. If anybody wants to get an insight into Fergie then read Michael Crick's excellent book. Michael Crick is a Man Utd fanatic but he's also a brilliant journalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
