Difference is that Fergie's comments were of a personal nature. He didn't just say that someone blew a call, he essentially questioned the referee's objectivity and integrity as an FA match official.
"You want a fair referee - or a strong referee, anyway - and we didn't get that."
"When I saw who the referee was I did fear it. I feared the worst."
He deserves everything he gets in this instance - absolutely.
