A challenge on Rooney by an opposition player is at 20/1, which Fergie thought should have been the case Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge. Ferguson’s statements after United’s defeat of Chelsea midweek are only examples of ways he is failing to win over the men in the middle. Boylesports.com lays 66/1 he is kick back to the stands anytime during the match.
Leon Blanche, Head of Public Relations at Boylesports.com, said, “Given the referees’ large role in the games, and considering Alex Ferguson’s statements over the past week regarding officials, there will be a lot of pressure on Phil Dowd Sunday.”
“This is a referee who has only one above him with the most number of cards per game in the country, and he’s being given responsibility over something that is full of temper tantrums. There will be plenty for him to say at full time about it.
