  Evans in new Utd ref rap

   

   

  

  EVANS ... 'disheartening' decisions

   

   

  JONNY EVANS has followed boss Alex Ferguson by having his own dig at referees.

  Manchester United boss Fergie was hit with a £20,000 fine and a two-game touchline ban on Thursday for his rant over Alan Wiley's lack of fitness.

  Ferguson also claimed his players are "losing faith in referees" after last week's 1-0 defeat at Chelsea.

  And defender Evans insists United's players DO feel they have to beat the ref as well as their opponents.

  He said: "We're normally good with referees.

  "You get a lot of teams who use play acting - but not many of us roll around and try to cheat.

   

  "The 50-50 decisions from that have not gone our way lately and that has been a bit disheartening for a few of the lads.

  "Sometimes you have to beat the referee as well - and that is what we have to do."
