Ferguson rants work
Look at the MOTD pundits. The video evidence shows Rooney kicks the defender, and yet they reckon it's a pen. And Ferguson's main aim is not to show Utd were robbed, but to put pressure on the next set of officials set to officiate Man Utd matches. The FA should stop this
To be fair to MOTD (for once), it was only that Murray and Hanson (don't get me started on him) that thought it was a pen. Pat Nevin actually said it wasn't a pen from the ref's view as you can see Rooney kick Caulker's leg. It was then the usual wankers to take the piss to try getting Nevin to change his mind. Nevin was right, but they just glossed over it and ignored the fact you can quite clearly see his leg move toward Caulker's.
But no mention what-so-ever of Fergie's rant, sure they showed it, but they didn't talk about it. If that would have been any other manager they'd have strung them up for a charge, talking about how you can't mention officials like that. I think Nevin was trying to get to that point but then Murray made some really shit joke to completely gloss over it and then quickly move on (something along the lines of asking Nevin to change his mind now whilst he can as it was a "Stonewall"). Usual unbiased approach from the MOTD team (Can't see Nevin being asked back on as from that game at least spoke mostly sense, even his analysis on utd's defending of Bale was 10 times better than anything I've seen Hanson analyze).
