Sir Alex Ferguson hits out at FA over Steven Gerrard's elbow reprieve• Discipline unit is 'dysfunctional', says United manager
• Liverpool 'are lucky' over possible suspensions

Sir Alex Ferguson wants unemployed managers to staff the FA's disciplinary department.
Sir Alex Ferguson has described the Football Association's disciplinary department as a "dysfunctional unit" and called for a complete overhaul of its procedures after claiming that Liverpool were given preferential treatment to Manchester United.
Ferguson was responding to the FA's decision not to punish Liverpool's captain, Steven Gerrard, for the use of his forearm on Portsmouth's Michael Brown at Anfield on Monday. "I don't think they know what they are doing," the United manager said. "But I certainly think if it was a Manchester United player he would have been done, as was the case with Rio Ferdinand. It is crazy at times. You scratch your head. Everybody scratches their heads at some of these decisions. You scratch your head but it will always be that way."
Ferguson was referring to Ferdinand's three-match ban for swinging his arm into the face of Hull City's Craig Fagan in January, a punishment that was increased to four matches when the champions lodged an appeal.
Gerrard would have been banned from Liverpool's trip to Old Trafford tomorrow if he had been found guilty of an FA charge of violent conduct and Ferguson alleged that the Anfield club historically got away with more than United. "We know that. They do all right. They are lucky like that. Maybe one day we will get lucky."
