Sky Sports News haven't stopped going on about it all morning.
They had referees coming on, excerpts from the rules of the game, bloody everything. All to come to the conclusion that the referee was right anyway! Very slow news day.
Sir Alex has a pop at referees every week in one way or another.
He knows he can get away with it, so he keeps doing it. Typical football attitude. Lots of other managers would do it too if they thought they wouldn't be punished.
One rule for him, and another rule for everyone else. Powell gets sent to the stand for stepping on the field of play at half time and Fergie bursts a blood vessel ranting and raving to all the officials without fear of punishment.
I think these managers giving it the big'un should take time out to referee games themselves, like an under 13s match with screaming dads in their face.
Maybe they would have, at least, a little more respect.
Usual Fergie bollocks. Decision went again him (boo hoo) so he turned bright red, chased the officials around the touchline, shouting and swearing at them. Wasn't just a heat of the moment thing, second half he's on at the lino he blames for the decision, live footage showing him again and again leaving his technical area to bawl at the lino or 4th official.
As stated above, one rule for him, another for everybody else.

Incredibly, this is what Warnock does. Not under-13s, but he does ref adult matches.
but that bottle carried a sponsor's logo! Football authorities around the world have shown time and time again there is nothing more important than the almightly pound/dollar/euro. You can have a country full of racists idiots, abusing every opponent and you'll get a £8000 fine, show a logo for a non-official sponsor on your pants, £100,000 fine! Beer companies pay a lot of sponsorship money, so FIFA award the world cup to a dry country and then say they have to change the laws so the sponsors don't get upset.
