发帖数: 29495 | 1 The FA have charged Sir Alex Ferguson for improper conduct after comments di
rected at referee Martin Atkinson following Manchester United's defeat to Ch
elsea.
Ferguson has until 1600 GMT on Tuesday, March 8 to respond to the charge, wh
ich relates to comments made about Atkinson immediately after Tuesday night'
s 2-1 defeat. The United boss was fuming at Atkinson over his failure to dis
miss Chelsea goalscorer David Luiz for clear fouls on Javier Hernandez and W
ayne Rooney after the Brazilian had already been booked.
To compound that frustration, Atkinson then awarded Chelsea what he consider
ed a ''soft'' penalty when Yuri Zhirkov fell under Chris Smalling's challeng
e.
Although Ferguson's comments to host broadcaster Sky Sports are not thought
to have overstepped the mark, those to United's in-house TV station MUTV hav
e caused concern.
''You want a fair referee, or a strong referee anyway - and we didn't get th
at,'' said Ferguson. ''I must say, when I saw who the referee was I feared i
t. I feared the worst.''
The Football Association asked MUTV for footage of the interview to check th
e context in which Ferguson delivered the words. And, even though he immedia
tely soften his stance, altering the word 'fair' to 'strong', disciplinary c
hiefs feel there is sufficient malice to warrant charging him in a week when
Wayne Rooney escaped further punishment for elbowing James McCarthy at Wiga
n.
Even Ferguson accepted his star striker had been ''fortunate''. The Scot, wh
o has decided not to hold a press conference ahead of Sunday's game with Liv
erpool, has not been so lucky and unless he can persuade the FA of his innoc
ence, is facing a lengthy period away from the dug-out.
Ferguson already has two matches of a four-game ban still hanging over him f
ollowing his ill-advised comments about Alan Wiley last season, when he impl
ied the official was not fit enough for his job.
Those games will be triggered if guilt is established, which would condemn h
im to the stands for United's FA Cup sixth-round tie with Arsenal at Old Tra
fford on March 12, plus the Premier League encounter with Bolton seven days'
later. Punishment for his latest indiscretion would be added. | d**********9
