Sir Alex Ferguson has accused Tottenham Hotspur of being 'out of order' during his Manchester United side's recent trip to White Hart Lane.
The Premiership leaders notched a 4-0 win at Spurs earlier this month, with the victory set up by a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty late in the first half.
Ronaldo went to ground following a token challenge from Steed Malbranque, and there appeared to be little contact in the tackle.
At half-time, the incident was replayed on screens inside White Hart Lane, prompting a fierce response from home supporters.
Ferguson was unhappy with the decision to show the pictures at the interval and feels it was a provocative act from Spurs.
"Tottenham were out of order showing replays at half-time of the penalty award that brought Ronaldo his latest goal," Ferguson is quoted in The Sun.
"Certainly it was a close call and therefore controversial, but I don't think a club should risk inflaming the home support during a game.
"Players get booked for over-celebrating a goal in the face of rival supporters, but Tottenham's decision was far more provocative."
manu were far surperior even before the penalty incident
anyway tottenham are so done this season
althought it is the general concensus that Ronaldo was auditioning to break into acting and trying out for the Portuguese Platform Diving team simultaneously in that one move, Spurs were out of line trying to inflame more hatred against an already hated rival..
