Looks like Neville-Tevez feud wont be punished this time
Neville and Tevez warned by FA
Manchester duo on thin ice following Carling Cup row
Gary Neville and Carlos Tevez have escaped punishment from the Football Association, but have been warned that their row cannot continue.
Neither Neville nor Tevez will face any action over their ongoing argument, triggered by comments made by the Manchester United captain in a newspaper column.
Neville's assertion that Sir Alex Ferguson made the correct decision to let Tevez leave Old Trafford last summer triggered the South American's "shut it" goal celebration after his equaliser in City's 2-1 win at Eastlands on Tuesday in the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final.
That brought a one-fingered gesture from Neville in response, followed by Tevez labelling his former skipper "a moron" and "a boot-licker" in a radio interview.
In slightly different ways, both Ferguson and Roberto Mancini tried to calm the situation on Friday.
But the FA has been in touch with officials from the red and blue halves of the city as well.
And Neville and Tevez have been warned that any repetition will bring punishment that also takes into account this week's indiscretions.
That would include any negative comments in pre-match interviews, or any poor on-pitch behaviour.
