Fergie unhappy with ref
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Sir Alex Ferguson described Andre Marriner's decision to send off Paul Scholes as 'terrible' following Manchester United's 3-1 victory over Tottenham.[LNB] Scholes was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence, a challenge on Tom Huddlestone, with the match still in the balance at 2-1 early in the 59th minute.[LNB]It could have proved to be a turning point and Ferguson believes Marriner dismissed Scholes purely on reputation.[LNB]"It was a terrible sending off, I think the referee got it wrong. I have looked at the video twice and I don't see any sending off," said Ferguson.[LNB]"The Tottenham player is the one who has committed the real foul. Scholesy was a foot above him. [LNB]"He's never touched him. He's been sent off because his name is Paul Scholes. That is why he was sent off. It was a ridiculous decision.[LNB]"It could have mattered. You are down to 10 men against Tottenham and only have a one-goal advantage. It's not easy."[LNB]United had fallen behind inside the first minute but they hit back in fine style and Ferguson was delighted with the performance.[LNB]"It was probably the best we have seen of us this season, given the fact that we were a goal down after one minute," he said.[LNB]"We had to gather our game and show composure."[LNB]
