Manchester United are compiling a security dossier after claims
that their manager Sir Alex Ferguson was verbally abused by Arsenal
fans.
The incident is alleged to have taken place at the Emirates Stadium
on Saturday during United's 2-2 draw with the Gunners.
"Our security people are compiling a report on it - the incident
was behind us," said Ferguson.
"But I'm sure that Arsenal, with their CCTV cameras, will have
picked it up."
Ferguson was unhappy with the refereeing performance of Howard Webb
on Saturday, but he said the hostile atmosphere inside the stadium
had been a contributing factor.
"It is very difficult for the referee," he said on Saturday.
"On our bench, we were getting terrible abuse from people two or
three feet away from us.
"There is a lack of security. It is absolutely disgraceful the
abuse you and your staff take. All sorts of things are being
shouted and screamed at you and there is an absolute danger
here."
But a spokesperson for the Gunners said: "Stadium security is of
the highest importance and we feel there is ample stewarding around
the dugout area.
"However, the club does recognise that some exchanges which take
place can be of an aggressive nature, and there was an incident
this afternoon where one supporter was ejected.
"There is also CCTV which monitors the area which our stadium
management crew review in detail after games, and if necessary the
club will take further action."
Seriously,is this the very first
time sir ferguson got abused? this is ridiculous. he's like showing
that he was just born ytd...of course you'l lexpect abuse if u're
on away game...this scottish bloke is really absurd.
