Sir Fergie on Williams kicking the ball hard in anger and hitting Van Persie. "With the van Persie situation, you can see clearly that he could have been killed. He (Williams) should be banned for a long time because that was the most dangerous thing I've seen on a football field for many years" Five years earlier, Sir Fergie never commented when a Utd fan could have been "killed" "With United trailing 1-0, defender Rio Ferdinand’s frustrations boiled over when referee Chris Hoy denied the Premiership leaders an advantage and called them back for a free-kick. Ferdinand reacted by kicking the ball hard into the Stretford End – straight into the face of an unsuspecting supporter." #fansmattertoo
