<span class="titolo">Ferguson Pleads Guilty To Referee Abuse</span></p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> <span class="sommario">Alex Ferguson may be suspended for Sunday's encounter with Liverpool following his admission of using abusive language towards referee Mark Clattenburg...</span></p> Tempers frayed during Manchester United's 1-0 defeat at Bolton Wanderers, both on the pitch and off. On the touchline, United boss Alex Ferguson grew increasingly furious, not least at some tough Kevin Davies behaviour, and eventually embarked on a war of words with referee Mike Clattenburg. Following the boss' admission of using abusive language towards the official, the FA Regulatory Commission will consider whether or not to ban Fergie from the touchline at Anfield. Ferguson, who turned down the chance of a personal appeal hearing, could potentially pick up a ban lengthier than a single game, or he could be warned on account of his early admission of guilt. United sit six points and two places ahead of the Reds in second, one point behind pace-setters Arsenal.</div></p>
