And because the sheer violence of Ferguson's diatribes is way OTT, and always has been.

Yup, reflected on the pitch too by Rooney, which is another thing that they inexplicably get away with time and time again. Respect and all that eh?
[/quote]
One rule for one and one rule for the rest. As it has been for years.

One ring to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.

From a longer piece in "The Times" today:
"Sources close to Ferguson have indicated that he is '90 percent convinced' he will be charged and that he holds little hope of receiving a fair hearing because of the publicity surrounding the case. Ferguson is furious at what he perceives to be a media campaign against him and believes a witch-hunt is being fuelled by sources close to the most senior refereeing figures.
Alan Leighton, the head of Prospect, the officials' union, has called for Ferguson to be banned and claimed that the manager's apology on Saturday 'probably exacerbates the situation rather than resolves it'. Leighton indicated that Wiley could sue Ferguson for defamation if the FA did not take appropriate action.
'He hasn't retracted his statement about Alan being unfit, so it's not an apology to Alan for the main offence caused', Leighton said. 'He then widens it to question the fitness of other referees in the select group. He seems to be opening another can of worms.' "
As Tyldesley said when Stevie's header went in in Istanbul: "Hello, hello, here we go." 8)

Intriguingly, Ginsoak and Rafa have hired the same legal team - Graham Bean's Football Factors - to represent them against the FA. Bean is aiming to say Rafa was just joking when he pointed to his glasses after the Spurs match, but is panicking over Ginsoak's case even after dictating that 'apology'. So the fitness issue really is treated as a very much more serious issue, because it has such an impact on refs' contract renewals.

To be fair "cunt hunt" would have been more appropriate.

He knows he's in trouble and is bringing out his mates in the media to help mount his defence. Rafa will probably get an inflated punishment as well as Fergie getting a serious penalty. It will be used to set a marker and will be a good thing for the game if it does happen (apart from Rafa getting a penalty for fuck all >🙁).

That would be a p!sser all right, but I bet Rafa will consider it a price worth paying. 8)

Oh for sure. 😉 Rafa was going to get punished anyway so hopefully the FA use the double wammy to make a statement, so long as SAF gets a much more severe punishment.

Right on both counts then.
Breathe?

LOL. I bet Rafa made them look fucking stupid. Would have loved to be in the room.

I'm not kidding, Colin then - same match - actually turned sideways and did it again for the cameras!
The FA are really pretty hopeless!

I love that his contorted face is in the process of saying "fuck" as he does his spectacle mime.

Contorted? You can tell the difference?
Indeed.
I hope the press keep bringing it up or the FA may try to slide it under the carpet. I see Gary Megson has mentioned a 'witch-hunt' from the FA and the referees group now. Poor Alec.
