David Moyes charged with
misconduct over referee comments


LONDON (AFP) – Manchester United
manager David Moyes was charged with
misconduct by the Football Association on
Friday after criticising match officials after
his side’s defeat by Sunderland on Tuesday.
Moyes said United were “playing referees as
well as the opposition” following a 2-1
League Cup semi-final first leg reverse at
the Stadium of Light on Tuesday, his side’s
third defeat in a row in all competitions.
“Manchester United manager David Moyes
has been charged for misconduct by The FA
in relation to post-match media comments
he made following his side’s game against
Sunderland on Tuesday 7 January 2014,” an
FA statement said.
“It is alleged the comments called into
question the integrity of the match officials
appointed to that fixture and/or appointed
to Manchester United fixtures generally,
and/or implied that such match officials are
motivated by bias; and/or brought the
game into disrepute, in contravention of
Rule E3(1).”
Moyes has until 6pm local time (1800GMT)
on January 15 to respond to the charge.
The Scot questioned the awarding of a free-
kick that led to Sunderland’s opening goal
and a penalty, having already said it was
“scandalous” United were not awarded a
late penalty against Tottenham Hotspur at
Old Trafford.
“I feel we are having to play the opposition
and the referees. We are all just laughing at
them at the minute,” Moyes said Tuesday.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was fined
£8,000 ($13,177) and warned as to his
conduct on Thursday after admitting a
similar charge.

He thought he is sir Alex abi

Useless coach!..am very sure its gonna be anoda 1-2 against swansea..always testing mic

Being a liverpool fan, i'd say i support brendan and moyes 100%.
The officiating in the premier league this season is just laughable and i'd support rodgers and moyes for saying its horrendous and scandalous respectively, we're just laughing at them at the moment its just shambolic, they fail to realise that just one wrong call e.g suarez and sterlings disallowed goals against hullcity and tottenham respectively, they dont realize that 1 point or a +1 goal diff can determine who wins the league and who finishes second, i'm just laughing hard at them really.
