In the Chelsea against Manchester United game yesterday, United had seven players booked. That will trigger an automatic FA investigation. The two managers saw the referees performance and in particular the handing out of cards, in a very different way.
Sir Alex Ferguson said, “It was a competitive game but I did not think there was one bad tackle in it. People are saying what is going on here but it is difficult to say anything about the referee. I do not want to get involved.”
Luiz Felipe Scolari said, “That is what the referee is there for. If players do not respect him, it should be yellow and red cards. It doesn’t matter who you are – Liverpool or Manchester United, whoever.”
Who has got it right, Ferguson or Scolari?

I believe a card should be given to n player who does something wrong. We should respect the ref’s verdict until proved otherwise.
Don’t mind ALEX, I think his problem is the old age. I am very sure If seven chelsea players were booked in that game, He would have say something different.
