Alex Ferguson, the loud-mouthed Scottish yob who runs Manchester United, is at it again.
After the disgusting behaviour of his protegé, Wayne Rooney, last week, Ferguson has found what he sees as yet another injustice being done to his players and his team. Rooney was censured and banned for his very public outburst, a penalty that he and, presumably, his manager, felt was too harsh; the fact that it meant he'd miss the FA Cup semi-final was, of course, nothing to do with it.
Rooney appealed against the ban and was rightly told to go away. Now Ferguson is claiming, apparently on the say-so of the relevant referee's fellow officials, that the referee was 'put under pressure' to make the report that led to Rooney's ban. The fact that the idiot's actions were seen and heard by millions of TV viewers which must, itself, have raised the ante somewhat, seems to have escaped Ferguson, as he berates and pressurises yet another referee.
One wonders how many referees the egregious Scot is now happy to have controlling matches involving his team; one might also wonder how many refeees 'throw a sickie' when told that they've drawn the short straw. If he has a complaint against a referee, by all means make it, but in private and not through the media. When players misbehave, they are rightly penalised; the same should apply to managers, however high and mighty they are. It really is time that the FA took some serious action against this man.
