    Yeah well he didn't refuse, did he?

    Who to say he didn't? HR at the club may have forced him to change his mind.

    Who gives a sh*t anyway, for a man so quick to have a go at others for the same, he wasn't exactly dignified over how he handled the result.

    Hands up, he did come on ITV eventually, and gave fair credit to Leeds, can't understand the constant carping about added time though, a club of Man Utd's stature shouldn't be depending on that to get a result.....

    As i said above what manager ever does this. Fergie never criticises his players or gives any real insight into his tactics to the press. Why would he.

    It amuses me no end this is the line ye are taking on a day when there's so many other valid criticism of United ye could be making.:pac:

    um, its true though. im not going over the top like you want to suggest, im saying he should give a normal brief like any other manger.

    does that suit? care to exaggerate on that so you can rack up those invisible in head points that are so important?

    oh, i see he gave one. toys must be back in so :)

    Can we have an Alex Ferguson is a gentleman who always shows the decency to come out and do post match interviews list of posts now?
    No, because fergie didn't come out when Simon Grayson gave his interview. More likely he was forced.

    I think leading any league is massive going into games like this. League One or not, you could see confidence and belief all the way through that Leeds side. Winning begets winning. I think they actually deserved this one by any metric.

    There are players to blame on Utd for that defeat, players to look at and wonder if they really tried as hard as they could. Rooney is inarguably not one of them. Yeah, he wasn't at his best. But he worked his socks off as per usual. Don't forget him chasing 50 yards down the field to recover the ball after he lost it outside the Leeds box in the final few minutes.

    The FA Cup is never a priority for Ferguson. Losing to arch rivals hurts, but in a couple of days I think Ferguson will be happy enough to have a couple of weekends off, and rest players for CL / Premiership outings (and the overall position for Utd is strong right now).

    More likely he felt it more important to give his team a rollicking and that ITV could wait!! F*ck sake, like

    Maybe, if ITV had stayed on air and not shown 'Athletes do the funniest things', you might have seen a live interview.

    Masterclass from Fergie, sending ITV mixed messages

    The headline in all the papers will be "FERGIE DELAYS INTERVIEW WITH ITV", and the match report will be reduced to a few column inches on page 5 of the sport section :pac:

    Genius ! :D

    Look, for those of you joining the ship now, I posted that he didn't give an interview (here: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=63765226&postcount=465) before he gave an interview. I'm not saying he didn't give an interview. I'm saying that ITV said that he refused to give one and yet it's ok that he gives the interview well after Simon Grayson's interview.

    Delighted for Leeds but what an inept pathetic display from United. Ferguson embarrassing himself once more with his post games antics.:pac: Also is Berbatov is the biggest waste of money ever in the premiership.

    No points mate. The guy's been beating the same drum in his last ten posts before being proven totally wrong, hes had nothing whatsoever to say about the match itself in his haste to get a dig into Fergie. Any chance you might ask him how many points thats worth I wonder?;)

    Well I'm glad you didn't bother to read my previous posts and did you happen to hear ITV saying Fergie refused to speak? Perhaps you develop selective memory after Man United defeats.

    Don't forget the bit about them finally "forcing him" to speak. That was brilliant, I have visions of the ITV interviewer giving Fergie a Chinese burn until he reluctantly agreed to the interview.:pac:

    Ah lads forget it, who cares if he was forced to give an interview or if he was in the changing room an extra ten minutes giving out to his players which is his right. Point is he gave one and I thought he was fairly gracious in defeat and gave Leeds credit for their performance.

    Only thing i cant get my head around is the fact that he is moaning about 5minutes injury time? Can utd fans clarify was he moaning that there was too much or too little? Im presuming too little but if he is then im sorry it smacks of sour grapes, regardless of whether he is trying to deflect the attention away from his players. I was astonished that there was 5mins injury time and had no idea where the officials got it. I was watching the old firm aswell as the utd game and there were far more stoppages in it yet there were only 2mins in the old firm.

    Rooney was muck. It's starting to appear as if the guy is too inconsistant to build a team around.


    Fact is, united never replaced Ronaldo, because they don't have the money - Glazer's debt is finally coming home to roost. Because if I knew we'd be rubbish this season, then fergie sure as hell would. Wait and see who we'll buy in January to finally replace Ronaldo, or even hargreaves', Rio's abscences. Wigan players and has-beens again????

    You seem to be one of the only United fans on these forum's who don't have their head buried in the sand about the state of the clubs finances tbh.

    Cool.

    How come you've never contributed to the Leeds United superthread then? Actually dont answer that, because its quite obvious you're the type of fan who prefers it when rival teams lose instead of his own team winning. I dont mind any of the Leeds fans here who post regularly having a bit of panter and taking the piss, but you've proven yourself to be a soccer forum bandwagon supporter here. Only crawling out of the woodwork when the big boys come to town. Do us a favour and crawl back in.

    Have you even praised your own team for how well they played yet today in your haste to cricify Ferguson? Strange way to enjoy you team's biggest win in years to be honest.:confused:

    I enjoy beating Man United, and I enjoy how Man United fans like to change subject when they lose. Why do you think fergie gave an interview after he said he wouldn't? Why do you think he changed his mind?
