Which Is why I said slightly worse. Pulis has called at least 3 referees useless or incompitent this season with no action.

The devil is in the detail. I have not seen a quote from Pulis that has said that a referee was biassed against Stoke in advance of the game, or that the referee had made mistakes for any reason other than just making a mistake. There is a world of difference between, "The ref has had a shocker today" type of comments - they are rightly fine, and comments that even hint that the referee is bent. The implication of corruption is what has convicted Mr Ferguson.

Managers need to follow ancelotti's attitute towards refs. When decisions go against chelsea i don't think he has ever blamed the referee or talk about the referee's performance

Very true. I think Rafa operated a similar policy for a while but not as well as Ancelotti.

Love the image of Rafa sitting at home, a small, but noticable smile just appearing on his face.

About time he got something, 5 games is a decent amount too.

I did say they weren't as bad. If Ferguson has been charged for this then quite a few should have had at least warnings or lesser charges.

Guardian says it starts on the 22nd, so he will be staggering about on the touchline for the Bolton match but will miss the Arsenal match.
Also has 48 hours to appeal.

I'll not be happy until he's sentenced to the electric chair

Still, I suppose a 5 game ban isn't too shabby

CheshireDave · « **Reply #57 on:** March 16, 2011, 04:15:40 pm »

Good. I am with Frank on this on. A 5 match touchline ban can't be considered as 'getting off lightly'.

It's not 5 games though. It's 3 games plus the 2 that were suspended from before.

Either way, I am sure he will appeal, he likes his day at the FA headquarters, it gives him a chance to get close to them and bully them in person.

OneTouchFooty · « **Reply #63 on:** March 16, 2011, 04:22:25 pm »

Does it really impact that much on United having him in the stands? I'm sure the team briefings and all relevant match tactics are discussed in depth beforehand so will have no effect in reality. Plus I'm sure he'll be sending text messages to the bench if he has anything to get across.

Whatever happened to him getting done for skipping post match interviews (which are contractually part of the deal that gets the huge fees the clubs get from the TV)?

He is without doubt one of the most unsporting managers of all time. Revie wasn't as bad

Kahuna{=}Berger · « **Reply #67 on:** March 16, 2011, 04:24:24 pm »

Slightly more fitting punishment, given the timing of it also. Hopefully he'll not wriggle out of it and maybe, just maybe the F.A. are beginning to grow a pair...

He was probably waiting for this, knowing it was only a matter of time. Good thing it's 5 games.

So Arsenal have a game in hand, 5 injured united defenders, an easy run apparently, haven't checked myself and this twat won't be anywhere near the touchline even if it has little impact. C'mon Arsenal.
