Dokko Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The BBC has said that it will contact the Premier League to express its disappointment at Manchester United's media blackout following Sunday's defeat to Liverpool. After the 3-1 loss at Anfield, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson reused to perform any media engagements, snubbing the BBC, along with Sky Sports and TalkSport. The BBC intends to discuss the matter with the league, but will stop short of submitting a formal complaint that would trigger punishment action against United, who cannot refuse to make a player or member of the coaching staff available to rights holders for interview. As no other media outlet has indicated that it will complain about the snub, it is likely that United will escape any sanctions under new rules designed to protect rights holders brought in at the start of this season. "The BBC is disappointed Manchester United did not put forward a spokesperson following on from the Liverpool match. We will speaking to the Premier League about this," said the BBC. United imposed the media blackout after last week's Football Association charge against Ferguson over his comments about the refereeing during the game against Chelsea. The silent protest even extended to United's in-house TV channel MUTV. Ferguson's assistant Mike Phelan also did not carry out his usual post-match engagements with the BBC, arranged due to the manager's long-running feud with the corporation. United are understood to be facing an up to six-figure fine for Ferguson's continued boycott of the BBC, but the league is hoping that the situation can be resolved amicably at ongoing negotiations 100% behind Fergie on this one. If the media throw a mic in front of a manager after a defeat and there have been some bad decisions and they ask questions designed to find out the opinion on them knowing it will lead to the manager getting in to trouble, then the manager has every right not to attend. Same goes for any representative of the club. Refs and the FA are above criticism, which is a joke, but to have managers baited by the media after being emotionally involved in a game then fined for any comments the FA don't agree with is fuking ridiculous. It's entrapment. Ok Fergie is a huffy cunt, but so is Wenger and any other manager when things haven't gone their way, but with fines and touchline bans handed out for speaking the truth its hardly any surprise managers have had enough. Where is freedom of speech? Is football above the law? I've never understood that. It's not bigoted, racist or to intent to cause trouble, its usually the truth, fair enough from a biased opinion, but the same opinion many commentators and pundits dish out during or after the game usually with harsher words and greater bile, while hacks print whatever they feel like and they don't get punished. The very same media landing the managers in trouble say the exact same thing and nothing is done. The FA is in a shite fuking state, I wouldn't trust them to run a tap, while Fergie and the likes are a pain in the arse, its no wonder considering the confinements they have to work within. Next step the courts imo, and the FA will lose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The BBC should refuse to allow Mike Phelan on the TV anyway IMO, if Fergie is going to boycott them they should shut Man Utd out completely. Also, they should definitely submit an official complaint over this, it's about time that Fergie got slapped down a peg or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled in Texas Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 {non-league player tackles streaker and gets sent off} What a retarded ref... Would love to have seen the game report for that one? I'm guessing that the ref decided that it was Violent Conduct - but seeing how all fouls must be committed against the opponent, this is a stretch. The bigger question is why the referee thought he needed to intervene in the situation. The "streaker" was stopped and in the hands of the police....surely better to just resume the game (and note the incident in the game report). I doubt either team expected any action by the referee. He dug himself a big hole, that he didn't need to do". Edit - Checked on the Advice to Referees for further detailed guidance. 12.34 VIOLENT CONDUCT It is violent conduct when a player (or substitute) is guilty of aggression towards an opponent (when they are not contesting for the ball) or towards any other person (a teammate, the referee, an assistant referee, a spectator, etc.). The ball can be in or out of play. The aggression can occur either on or off the field of play. So I agree that VC is a possible misconduct to apply - I just wonder why he felt the need to act in this instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the principle that Ferguson has decided he will not speak to the club, there should be an example set by the BBC that if the club's manager has a blanket policy of refusing to speak to the BBC then they should stone wall the club all together.

Stewart Downing, 26, was giving evidence on the second day of the trial of his former agent who is accused of fraud. York Crown Court has heard how Ian Elliott allegedly siphoned off large amounts of money from one of Downing's bank accounts to prop up his failing business projects. Today, Downing confirmed an account had in excess of £2m going through it. He also confirmed £136,000 had left the account to pay for a variety of luxury items. As well as the home cinema, he spent £30,000 on a home extension, £6,000 on a walk-in wardrobe and £45,000 on a conservatory. Other expenditure included £6,000 on a bathroom. He also gave his family £180,000 over a number of years, the jury was told. The midfielder, who now plays for Aston Villa, told the jury the account should have had £600,000 to £700,000 in it from his earnings. He said a firm of accountants discovered just £11,000 in the account. Downing said there was a massive amount of money going into the account and he would have expected to see more than a few thousand pounds. "If you look at the money that had gone out, there should have been more than £11,000," he told the jury during cross-examination. Robin Patton, defending Elliott, responded by saying: "That's if you know what you are doing with your money." Mr Patton put it to Downing that he had spoken to Tottenham Hotspur in January 2008 to discuss a possible move to the London club. Mr Patton claimed he had spoken to the club on two occasions. Downing denied the claim or that he was trying to increase his wages at Middlesbrough FC to £80,000 a week during contract negotiations in 2008. He said the figure of £80,000 was comical and he would never try to get that much money from Middlesbrough. "Even when I went to Aston Villa I never ever demanded £80,000 a week," he said. He told the jury he thought he was one of the best players at the club and his new contract should reflect that. Mr Patton said: "You expressed the view you were the best player at the club and thought you were entitled to parity with the highest-paid player, who was in fact paid £80,000 a week." Downing said Middlesbrough chairman Steve Gibson would never pay that kind of money. It is alleged that Elliott committed fraud by: :: Falsely claiming Downing consented to him becoming a director of Stewart Downing Promotions Ltd; :: Requiring Downing to sign a two-year contract without telling him that its terms were inconsistent with an earlier contract; :: Creating a consultancy agreement that purported to entitle Elliott to £100,000 per year, backdated to 2004; :: Creating false invoices for money supposedly owed by Stewart Downing Promotions Ltd to two companies, Elliott Sports Management Ltd and Waveclean Ltd, trading as ESM Interiors. Elliott, 53, of Foxhills Covert, Newcastle, denies all the charges. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
