and freedom of expression are legal human rights in this country (it,s the law). That is what DF was expressing in his interview yesterday and no law was broken, therefore no punishment can legally be dished out. If the FL decide to punish DF for his legal right then that in itself is illegal if you get my drift.
I know this might sound controversial however do you think whoever the media individual was who apparently took the comment out of context and leaked this could be prohibited from giving interviews at future matches?

"Leaked"? It wasn't some candid chat over dinner, it was an on-the-record press interview! It also wasn't published out of context either, the entire radio interview was conducted, put out on the airwaves and then uploaded in full to the internet. The press then run with the story with the top line being that Fergie said he thinks the refs need shooting. That is Journalism 101. Fergie cocked up by saying it, I can't believe I'm having to say yet again that the journalist in question and Radio Sheffield did absolutely nothing wrong, only their jobs.

Reasons for Wenger's charge and touchline ban revealed.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42710579
Wonder what Adams would have said if the decisions had been against Plymouth
Probably he would say "the Referees a w****r" but paraphrase that so he escaped a ban. I reckon DF will be more subtle next time BUT he was right - the Ref was wrong - the standard is very poor - the Refs are nowhere near fit enough to chase (most of) the Players around the pitch... AND Managers tend to say as we all know - exactly the opposite to what their opponents Manager has just said re any contentious decision be it a goal / a Red Card / a disputed goal / a bad foul etc
