The storm over Gary Neville's antics in last month's encounter between Manchester United and Liverpool is building up again ahead of the FA Cup rematch on Saturday.
Football Association officials are anxious that the England defender curbs his enthusiasm
when The Red Devils travel to Anfield, so as not to further rile the Liverpool supporters.
Neville's celebrations at Manchester United's late winner at Old Trafford incensed the visiting fans to such an extent that he was charged with misconduct.
Now, with the two fierce rivals set to meet again, and memories of Neville's behaviour still fresh in the memory, FA chiefs are attempting to take the sting out of the situation by delaying his hearing until next Tuesday.
Referee Howard Webb, meanwhile, is set to issue the right back with an unprecedented personal warning prior to kick off to ensure things do not get out of control during the game.
However, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has accused the FA compliance unit of having an anti-United agenda, a sentiment echoed by former youth team coach Eric Harrison, who helped bring Neville to prominence.
"The FA targeted him because he is a United player. It's absolutely crazy," Harrison said.
"Gary will come through the Liverpool test, no problem".
