That was a blatant penalty against Newcastle. He gave us a free kick for tugging on Alan Smith outside the box mintues later and there was nowhere near as much contact. Same ref also didn't give us a blatant penalty against Chelsea in the Carling Cup at the Bridge (should have had another at OT too). Ferguson is saying since Rooney's dive against Arsenal, we ain't been getting shit because of it. It's clearly mind games but he has a point. I wouldn't say he has been tactically inept, more like our players haven't performed when needed. Aside from Ferdinand, Heinze, Ronaldo and Rooney (and probably Smith when he has played), all the players need to have a closer look at themselves.
