rafa was trying to be the smart arse with his facts, instead he comes out looking like he is in the process of a mental breakdown........lmao
I've just read this on Sky Sports.Wazza1989 said:Former Premier League referee Graham Poll agrees that Sir Alex Ferguson receives lenient treatment from the Football Association.
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez launched an astonishing attack on his Manchester United counterpart on Friday.
Benitez claimed Ferguson does not get punished sufficiently for his sometimes outspoken criticism of match officials.
Poll enjoyed a good relationship with Ferguson during his time as a referee but believes the Scot does get preferential treatment from FA disciplinary chiefs.
"Rafa Benitez has articulated what referees have been thinking for years - that Sir Alex Ferguson can say what he wants about them and the FA will allow him to get away with it," Poll told the Daily Mail.
"The authorities could point to Ferguson's two-match ban imposed earlier this season as proof that he is not out of reach of their disciplinary department, but that was for marching onto the field after the 4-3 win over Hull and for comments made directly to the referee, Mike Dean, who in reporting the misconduct forced the FA's hand."

The signs are encouraging nonetheless. Either he is biting the bait now or he is trying to be too smart.RedForceRising said:Wenger admitted it was a shock to hear the usually composed and reserved Benitez say such things but insisted he did not expect it would have any bearing on the race for the Premier League title.
"It came as a complete surprise, because he is usually a quiet man and I would not like to comment further on that. I do not know what it was really about," the Gunners boss said after his side's 1-0 win over Bolton.
