Manchester United FC, and in particular Alex Ferguson (aka Taggart) have brought shame and embarrassment upon the greatest domestic cup competition in the world. Against Everton, Manchester United allowed their manager Alex Ferguson to field a youth side in the semi final against Everton. This is an outrage, and not the first time Manchester United FC have abused the competition for their own gain. The first time, they did not even enter a team, and I say the competition is better off without clubs who deem themselves to big or important to take the competition seriously. I call for them to be omitted for the season 2009/10 as punishment for not treating this most prestigious competition with the respect it deserves.

The feedback I receive confirms that many people feel the prestige of the FA Cup is being eroded by these repeated dismissals. I am carefully cataloging these instances of disrespect to ensure the governing bodies recognize the depth of this frustration.

Reaching this level of support confirms that many others feel the same disappointment regarding how the tournament is treated. It is heartening to see that the demand for accountability carries enough weight to spark a genuine conversation about the integrity of the game.

Disgraceful. The fans travel all that way and pay good money to watch a bunch of kids play. Kick them out.

Its a total joke. Fergie thinks he is bigger than the FA Cup and it shows. Rules should apply to everyone regardless of who they are.
