Good to see neither Ferguson or Pardew will be facing punishment after their actions during the match. Dean was completely incompetent throughout and both sides were well within their right to be furious with him and he deserved everything they threw his way. Missed handballs, Valencia not getting sent off somehow, the Evans OG debacle, and horrible match control otherwise.

I figured the FA would try and make an example of Ferguson, as they usually do, for rightfully telling Dean how to properly do his job. While letting off Pardew for physically grabbing the fourth official, Newcastle's assistant for a cursing tirade post-match at the officials with Evra having to hold him back, Mancini for saying the ref "ate too much for Christmas", and Redknapp for saying the ref "should go to Specsavers". Quite surprised, actually.

It's probably just an anomaly, but I hope the FA has decided that officials should be held accountable for their routine blunders on simple decisions, instead of punishing managers for telling it like it is.
