The biggest problem according to the head of the referee's union is that by questioning the referee's match fitness, he essentially questioned his professionalism and the professionalism of other referees. Match officials over here are taking it as a pretty offensive statement across the board and are pushing for a UEFA-style ban for this fool and not some £5000 fine and a touch-line ban.
Funny thing with this guy is that it seems that he does less whining and complaining than he did in the past when he would stammer on and on over every little thing he could. Now he is more 'composed' with his commentary and general demeanor, but when he does say something it is usually highly inflammatory and controversial - like the situation we have now. People were used to him crying about every decision in Man U matches as well as others. Now he has a seemingly quieter profile until he opens his gob and something really offensive (to some one) pours out.
Funny old Scots git he is.
