Ferguson escapes after ref blast
Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will not face action from the Football Association over his criticism of referee Martin Atkinson on Sunday.
Ferguson said:
“You lose faith in refereeing, that’s the way the players see it,” he said.
“The referee’s position to make the decision [for the goal] was absolutely ridiculous.
“He can’t see anything. It was a bad decision.”
“That goal should never have been allowed,” added Ferguson. “We’ve dominated the game. We’ve had great chances to win the match and not taken them – and that’s our fault.
“We had great opportunities to get to the edge of the box and some really good chances in and around the box, but we should be finishing it off.
“We’ve only ourselves to blame in that respect. But you do need a break – and we never got the break we needed.”
Midfielder Fletcher was adamant that Atkinson made the wrong decision in penalising him for his challenge on Cole.
“I’ve watched it again and it’s clearly not a foul,” said Fletcher. “Ashley Cole jumps up in the air and the referee gives it.”

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
It’s good to locate great post like this a single. Thank you!
I’m impressed, I must say. Very seldom do I see a blog that is both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is important; the matter is something that not a lot of people are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
