Blithering Idiocy
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011 11:13 amI don’t really care for Sir Alex Ferguson, but really.
I see the FA have decided to try and discipline him for insulting a referee by damning him with the phrase, “definitely the best referee in the country”. This is clearly a calumny, a smear against the referee, Howard Webb’s good name. How dare the most successful manager of the most successful football team in England say such a thing about any referee, much less this one?
I understand from the press that the FA are somewhat bewildered by Ferguson’s response to their charge. He has ignored it. Manchester United acknowledged receipt of the papers and he had until 4pm yesterday to respond, saying he would either contest or accept their judgement. Apparently he did neither.
It’s assumed that he thought it must be a joke.
As I say, I don’t like the chap, but really. The slavering idiots of Soho Square really need to stop (or start) taking the pills.
