Manchester United vs. Chelsea: Sir Alex Ferguson criticises refereeing decisions – EPL news
After an exciting weekend in the dying stages of the English Premier League that saw Manchester United losing 3 potential points while Chelsea gained 3 lucky ones in their game against Tottenham Hotspur, Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for another edition of
‘Scot versus English referees.’
Chelsea are only 3 points behind the League leaders and a win against Ferguson’s men at Old Trafford could see the Blues go on top of the Premier League for the first time in the ongoing 2010-11 season.
However, the Manchester United manager has gone back to a fresh assault on refereeing decisions that have led to such circumstances take shape in his opinion. Television replays suggested that Frank Lampard’s goal against the Spurs was a controversial refereeing
decision as the ball had not completely crossed the line. Further adding to the bad officiating front, a United penalty appeal for a foul on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Owen-c25355 in the box was turned down which has really got the Scotsman worked up on how the law is held in club
football.
The Red Devils manager commented, “They (Chelsea) got great decisions for them (on Saturday) and they seem to get these decisions at the moment.”
The Scotsman further added, “They got one to win the league last season at Old Trafford. So that's a worry. You go into a game worrying about these things.”
However, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s title charge still seems intact thanks to FIFA’s reluctance to employ goal-line technology, Fergie should also thank his lucky stars when Nemanja Vidic’s hand ball inside the box was also missed by the referee which could have seen
the League leaders trailing in the first half against Arsenal.
The Manchester United left back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Patrice-Evra-c29231 had contrasting views on the other hand; suggesting that they had only themselves to blame for the loss and the team needs to bounce back as a unit to influence their championship aspirations.
Speaking to the club’s official television channel, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international commented, “We just need to play the Man United way. We have our destiny in our hands.”
