More dummy spitting, whingeing and dirty tricks from the petulant scum!
Manchester United's players are refusing to give television interviews for one week in protest at the repeated showing of Gary Neville's controversial goal celebrations during the 1-0 Premiership win over Liverpool. Gary Neville Making a stand: Gary Neville is making no comment
The boycott started following Sunday's 3-0 FA Cup fourth-round victory over Wolverhampton at Molineux when Neville, the United captain, and his team-mates refused to face the cameras.
The boycott also means that no United players were available yesterday to comment on the FA Cup fifth-round draw which sent United to Anfield in a tie which could further inflame relations between the two clubs.
The Premiership match at Old Trafford appeared to be drifting towards a goalless draw until Rio Ferdinand scored a late winner.
The television cameras focused on Ferdinand and on Neville, who was seen to grab his shirt and gesticulate wildly towards Liverpool fans.
Referee Mike Riley did not see Neville's actions but was asked by the Football buttociation to review the video footage after Greater Manchester Police expressed concerns about his behaviour.
Riley then contacted the FA and Neville was charged with improper conduct. Yesterday the England right back formally denied the charge and requested a personal hearing, which will be scheduled in due course.
If found guilty, he is unlikely to receive a ban and so will be available for the visit to Anfield in the Cup on the weekend of Feb 18.
That, though, has not pacified the player, who has already voiced his surprise at the charge.
Writing in his national newspaper column a week ago, Neville said: "You are caught up in the moment and, yes, for a few seconds you can go bananas. I laughed when I heard someone say that it was not the behaviour of a 30-year-old because they are probably the same people who have accused us of lacking pbuttion in recent games."

He added: "Increasingly people seem to want their footballers to be whiter than white and there are calls for sanctions over every little incident. Do they want a game involving robots?"
Despite his surprise, radio phone-ins after the game were full of irate Liverpool fans complaining about his actions, while Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher later claimed: "I think there's a line and Neville crossed it."

Sir Alex Ferguson, meanwhile, jumped to the defence of his player. When asked if Neville would have been charged if he played for another club, the Manchester United manager replied: "Absolutely no chance. The FA compliance office only reacts when the press writes it."
Ferguson himself refused to talk to the BBC in August 2004 to show his annoyance at a documentary shown earlier in the year which focused on the business relationship between the United manager and his son, Jason, who is a football agent.
