After picking up seven yellow cards in Sundays clash against Chelsea, Manchester United will be fined £25,000.

“It was a competitive game but I did not think there was one bad tackle in it,” said Ferguson.

That may be the case Sir Alex, but three of the seven cards were for mouthing off to the official. Officials should be respected and unfortunately Riley had to set an example out of the biggest club in the World.

I agree that players should respect officials, but there has got to be room for emotion, passion and even some theatrics.
