Then came the \"You're not fit to referee\" song; the cries of systemic corruption, though, are relatively new.

The visit of the Premier League champions to Aberdeen in the summer of 2008 provided the kind of carnival occasion always guaranteed after Alex Ferguson's defining move from Pittodrie to Old Trafford. This particular friendly was to mark the 25th anniversary of Ferguson leading Aberdeen to Cup Winners' Cup glory. Friendly it was ... until post-match media duties.
