FA charges Darren Ferguson for his ’shoot them’ comment about referees

"It is alleged his comments were improper and/or brought the game into disrepute."

Doncaster Rovers manager Darren Ferguson has been charged for saying it would be a "good idea" to shoot referees after his side’s 1-1 draw against Plymouth on Saturday, the Football Association has announced.

The 45-year-old was annoyed when Andy Baines ignored Rovers’ appeals for a penalty after James Coppinger went down in the box in the last minute of the League One clash.
