Ferguson banned for 5-games

As a follow-up to my recent post this week about the disappointing behavior from Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, BBC Sport announces that a Football Association tribunal has given Sir Alex Ferguson a five-match touchline ban for his comments about referee Martin Atkinson.

The Manchester United manager was found guilty of improper conduct for criticising Atkinson's display in the loss at Chelsea earlier this month.
