Fergie in usual ref rant

Sir Alex Ferguson has had his usual rant about referees following Manchester United’s loss to Aston Villa on Saturday. The Red Devils went down 1-0 to Villa at Old Trafford with Fergie blasting the fourth official for only allowing three minutes of added on time at the end of the 90 minutes. "It has to be taken out of the referee's hands,” he fumed afterwards. "There were two stoppages of two minutes three seconds, but we only played three minutes added time." Villa's victory, sealed by Gabriel Agbonlahor's first-half strike, was their first in the league over United since 1983. "Second half we pummelled them, had a lot of good chances and didn't get any,” continued Ferguson. “We are camped in their box and if we take one of those chances then the game would have probably changed. It's just one of those days it wasn't going in."
