REACTIONS TO LAST NIGHT

Last updated : 21 April 2005 By editor

Sir Alex Ferguson, "I don't know the exact rule but you can't kick a ball at the spectators, not nowadays anyway. Gary Neville should know that. There was plenty of intimidation from Everton supporters today - that's always there and you'll get it in a derby game like this - but Gary Neville should know better.

"Everton knew it was a weak referee and they exploited it to the full. You can't blame them for that. They were at home with that crowd behind them and they took advantage of that. Right from the first whistle there was no protection for us. How many late challenges were there from Everton players in that game? It was amazing. Credit to Everton, though. They fought hard and we never really hurt them the way we can."


David Moyes on the touchline bust up, "We were having some Scottish banter. That's what we do in Scotland. But that comes close to being our best result of the season. It was a big win psychologically. I don't think people thought we'd do that tonight, particularly after the way United beat Newcastle on Sunday, but we bridged the gap in quality. The togetherness, the spirit, it was all there.”
