Sir Alex Ferguson has accused Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish of having a short memory as the Manchester United manager vowed to fight a charge of improper conduct
Sir Alex Ferguson has accused Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish of having a short memory as the Manchester United manager vowed to fight a charge of improper conduct.
Ferguson is facing an extended touchline ban following comments about referee Martin Atkinson in the wake of his side's controversial Premier League defeat at Chelsea last week.
However, his comments have been called into question by Dalglish, whose Liverpool side beat United at Anfield last weekend.
"Kenny Dalglish looked to be lecturing me in the papers about the need to respect referees, perhaps forgetting that not so long ago his players were tweeting critically all over the place about Howard Webb," referring to the mock-up picture of World Cup final referee Webb in a Manchester United shirt that was posted by Ryan Babel in the aftermath of Liverpool's FA Cup third-round defeat at Old Trafford in January, which earned the Dutchman a ufffd10,000 fine.
