Sir Alex Ferguson defends justifiable criticism

Manchester United Barclays Premier League Football Sport

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that decisions made by referee's should be allowed to be discussed, as long as the comment is fair.

The statement comes after Ferguson was handed a five-match touchline ban for criticising referee Martin Atkinson and also fined £30,000.

The Scot told ESPN: "If you speak your mind it's a problem in the game. The FA are very strong in supporting referees.

"In a way I totally agree with that, but there's got to be fair comment."
