Uefa president Michel Platini has backed the moves made by the Football Association to hand bans to Wayne Rooney<\/a> and Sir Alex Ferguson<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Manchester United boss was handed a five-game touchline ban after criticising referee Martin Atkinson after he awarded a controversial penalty United\u2019s game with Chelsea last month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rooney was given a two-game ban by the FA after swearing towards the camera in the Red Devils’ match with West Ham United where he bagged a hat-trick.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sometimes we have some people who don’t respect the referee,” Platini told Sky Sports News<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Perhaps, in my career, I sometimes didn’t respect the referee because I was nervous.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Wayne Rooney and Alex Ferguson, they will regret what they have done because it’s in the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I can understand but they made a mistake and they were banned for these disciplinary matters.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sometimes you can be not so happy but we are here to protect the game. We have regulations to protect the referee.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The referees have to be protected because the game has to be protected.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Platini says he can understand when players are angry and upset during games but if they cross the line they deserve to face the consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I am not a saint,” said Platini. “I can understand these things because they are men and they have a reaction.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But it’s not good and we have to punish these reactions.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
