    O/T ? Fergison Says Match Officials Should be Shot!

    Can he continue to be someone employed in a professional field if he suggests that someon should be shot?

    It was a bizzare interview ont local radio when he was aske 'What do you think should happen to them?'

    His attack came when his team weren't awarded a late penalty after a play went down in the box. He sais that he dissagreed with the practice of hiring part time refferees and officials to work in a professional arena.

    He has a point about that bit. The EFL and FA have the resourse to fund full time officials but don't. Whereas it's not easy taking up a career in football officialdum when you're going to be laid off when you reach 45.

    What are your thoughts?

    This has remarkable similarities other than spelling to the Oh dear Darren Ferguson thread.

    How strange that two managers with similar names made similar comments at exactly the same time.

    Football certainly is a funny old game!
