Sir Alex Ferguson has been charged by the English FA for "improper conduct" following his comments in the wake of their defeat at Stamford Bridge, suggesting that "feared the worst as soon as the referee was confirmed" and that "for the third year in a row [a bad decision from a ref cost them the game]" at Stamford Bridge (the irony is astounding).

Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

his actual words were - "You hope you get a really strong referee in games like this," said Ferguson afterwards. "It was a major game for both clubs and you want a fair referee. You want a strong referee anyway and we didn't get that. I don't know why he's got the game. I must say that when I saw who was refereeing it, I feared the worst."
all fair points imo, 13 games atkinson has referreed for chelsea since 2006 - 12 wins 1 draw

Either way, they're quite right in taking action. I hope the SFA will also grow a pair and make an example of those who often go unpunished in Scotland, following last nightMadness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

As for the original point, it's hardly worth mentioning.
Referee makes mistakes
Manager critices referee
Manager gets punished.... Not even worth commenting on.

Ferguson resorts to slamming officials quite regularly when United fail to win and evidently doesn't learn. The fines aren't enough to deter his comments though, so the action will no doubt be redundant.
Without a referee, there's no football, and the lack of respect the top clubs particularly show to referees is appalling (maybe as a result of extra pressure from expectations?)Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

I watched Fergusons interview after and i recall him saying that the chelsea boy with the heid of hair should have been sent off and the game would therefore have changed, Spot on IMO..But then if Rooney had been ( Which make no mistake he should have) been sent off against Wigan wouldnt the game have changed then too? He cant have his cake and eat it.
Man u may well have stil beat Wigan with 10 men, But no way would they have won 4-0 with ten men, Its quite feasible the League may go down to goal difference and that game where Rooney should have walked makes a real difference.
I hear what Ferguson is saying, I do..But he cant have it all his way which he does.

It's not really worth a debate.
He's criticised the referee after he had a shocker and been charged for it.
End of.

Surely this can't be right. Man Utd had a player sent off, a dodgy penalty given against them and now the manager has been charged with misconduct or something.
I thought there was a big conspiracy to ensure nothing ever went against Man Utd?

Ferguson is a genius, but also a drunken hypocrite. Remember it was his management team who, when asked about the Rooney incident on Saturday, said that we should'nt get into debates about refereeing decisions. 72 hours later and who initiates the next debate on refereeing decisions, as I said, genius, complete and utter twonk of the highest order, but stuff like this is comedy gold !

Found guilty, and given a 5 match touchline ban - seems fair (if a little lenient)

presidence* - Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was given a 12-game ban from the dugout for pushing a fourth official in 2000 but that was reduced to one game on appeal
