Except this time no one really knows why, apparently they didn't like him praising Howard Webb before the Chelsea game at OT
Yeah no witch hunt is there, none whatsoever

Is this true, any sources

Up on the beeb too.
This is getting ****ing ridiculous now, can't we say ANYTHING about the referees anymore? They're untouchable and it's wrong. Managers should be free to say whatever the hell they like, FA isn't goddamn Somalia or Taliban-era Afghanistan, if a person wants to state his opinion without reprisal he should be able to.

What did Fergie actually say that was so bad?
You of course are having a laugh? What was it he said that justifies this latest charge?

FA want money, basically the slightest comment you say towards a referee, you somehow get charged like £10k for your entitled opinion.

I've been on the sites but non of them actually say what he said.
Called him the best ref in the league FFS Fergie you were asking for trouble throwing wild accusations like that around ZOMG
Why should he?
Um, he keeps getting banned .. ? He doesn't want to be banned, ergo stop commenting on ref's and how 'strong' they are, and how likely they are or are not to side with Man Utd/opponent X

He did what, deserves five match ban and ten point deduction.
Utterly ridiculous.
Yes yes well done, that is why we are having this thread.
So when exactly can you talk about a ref? Not being able to say anything about then either before or after the game does in fact only allow you the 90 minutes in which you are playing... I mean is it a week before the game? 10 days? Or if you say so and so is a good ref in February and they then ref a match in may is that breaking the rules? Crap organisation which needs a cull at the top.
Fergie = Never ever under no circumstances whatsoever
Every other manager under the sun = whenever you want, knock yourselves out
Yeah but we all know what Ferguson is doing when he talks about a ref nowadays, all he does is try and manipulate them, if he was speaking completely innocently about them fine, he always has an agenda though which is normally not complimentary
"Even though Ferguson spoke positively about Webb, he broke FA rules which state that no manager should speak about a referee prior to a match."
From the BBC, if it's a rule it's a rule I guess

So now they're charging people not by what they say but on the off chance that there could be an agenda, how do you tell the difference?
