What do Wenger, Allardyce and Cotterill all have in common with each other?

I was driving back from White Hart Lane on Saturday and there was the usual discussion on the events of the day and slowly winning and losing managers gave their assessment on the evnts of the day. Mick McCarthy felt Wolves threw the points away at Spurs (not hard to disagree with him there). But what struck me was the amount of complaining about the referees.

I am hardly the type of person who doesn't complain about referees but then again I am not a football manager. Coterill complained about how good Portsmouth were and the decision that went against them, Allardyce, well he complained about everything, and Wenger complained by not commenting.

Now I was not happy about the referees performance at White Hart Lane, I thought Wolves were lucky to have finished with ten men after some very rough treatment on Bale, but i didn't hear Redknapp complaining.

It certainly takes the gloss off of a win when you hear the opposing manger complaining about this decision and that and frankly it is disrespectful. These referees good or bad have a difficult job to do and with all the diving and time wasting that goes on coupled with the jeering from the crowd every time they get a decision against them, it makes it impossible to do their jobs and keep everyone happy.

I don't know if the FA can do anything to better protect the integrity of referees but I hope this will be looked into sooner rather than later.
