Man Utd boss blasts FA

Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson has blasted the FA for the way they responded to the referee's decisions post match in last weekend's FA Cup tie between United and Arsenal.

Ferguson said: "I haven't got anything to say about Gallas because we kind of expected that, but that's because there's one law for them and another for everyone else - or a different rule. Obviously, a lot of clubs who have suffered from retrospective views of incidents will be disappointed.

"It was difficult for Alan Wiley. He had a hard game in the second half because there were so many things happening. There could have been quite a few players sent off from their team, maybe three or four, and I didn't realise that until I saw the video.

"Justin Hoyte had a kick at Nani off the ball and their young left-back, Armand Traore, had a terrible tackle on Nani as well. But Wiley had probably had enough by then and he was probably happy to draw a marker under it. The important thing is that everyone has been made aware of the Gallas incident, though. We don't have to answer for them, but we have to leave it now."
