Fergie angry for sending off

Sir Alex Ferguson has hit out at Mark Clattenburg for his refereeing performance in the match between Bolton and Man Utd. Man Utd lost 1-0, but Ferguson was sent into the stands for complaining repeatedly about Bolton's aggressive stance.

Ferguson said: "I told the referee what I thought - some referees don't like that. They don't like the truth," said Ferguson.

"But I just told him how bad he was in the first-half.

"I know Bolton are battling for their lives at the bottom but they were a bit aggressive and we were looking for some protection from the referee.

"The first half was just a shambles. It was foul after foul after foul. I felt they were over-physical and there were two or three really dodgy tackles. You hope the referee is strong enough to handle it. But he wasn't."
