http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/jul/30/rio-ferdinand-fa-charge-twitter?newsfeed=true Charged for saying the following on Twitter [NSFW] please log in to view this image [/NSFW]
It was expected to be honest, it's his own fault for not taking a second to think before tweeting a silly comment.
This. If the FA are consistent he should get the same as Babel for his Webb picture - fine and warning with possible suspended ban. But when are the FA ever consistent?
its not racist..however you are a bellend lets be honest he is right...Ashley is a choc ice... the bigger picture was to expose Terry's racist tendencies...but instead Mr Choc ice decided to kiss Terry's arse...and thus the racism issue will carry on with idiots like Terry always getting away with it.
I thought the bigger picture was seeing justice upheld, whether that meant Terry being guitly or innocent. Don't let that get in the way of your bitter little ramblings though. Your stance is somewhat ironic given you have a picture of King as your sig...given his history for what was it 'paki' bashing?!?
It most certainly IS a race insult. Some of you lot ****ing amaze me Ledley calls a bouncer a Paki, and get carted off by the old bill, He then crys like a girl in the cells and you strap line him a " a true legend" Brilliant !
we have been through this though havent we..my point is that is why he is regarded as a choc ice..and Terry was not guilty..yes he was...but because of lack of evidence more than because he didnt do anything..but as with so much in life..we the common folk..usually know what went on..and thats why Rio had an issue with Mr Choc ice..because he knows that it is very likely that Terry being the abnoxious twat that he is ..probably did make a racist remark..plus lets not forget ..his brother Anton probably filled him in on the inside details..so taking all this into account...Rio probably felt as though a black man should not support someone who has racist tendencies even if he might have gotten away with it.....this is not about what happened in court really..this is about a black man who did not support the bigger issue..he would have been better off staying out of it...but to the common black man...bar the odd chelsea fan..Cashley is and rightly so...a choc ice....... this has got nothing to do with King.........poor do with your paki bashing jibe....im of asian and black decent.....and i have no issue with Ledley...diversion tactics are poor by chelsea fans..as a coloured man i totally understand why rio called him a choc ice......
everything will be seen as irony in this debate....maybe if i told you i have no problem with Frank Lampard..then you might realise that its not personal..however i understand why Rio said what he did...as for King calling a bouncer a 'paki'...was he charged for this?
Your understanding of why he did it matters not a jot. I understand why some people commit murder,but it's still murder. As for LK being charged, do you really want to pull on that thread, given the general consensus on your board that being found not guilty in a court of law doesn't mean innocent.
It was always coming. Can't stand him on Twitter, as a side note. Boring and up his own arse something shocking.
my understanding of why Rio said what he did does matter as i understand the reason he said it...due to similar ethni backgrounds...as for me asking about King being charged i asked you because Chelsea fans are big on what the courts decide..are they not? however i really did mean it when i said i understand why Rio said what he did to A.Cole..i can understand it totally..with the reason being given in my first post....but what im not intrested in is a slanging match just because you support Chelsea......majority of ethnics will understand where Rio is coming from with his statement.
Babel's tweet was not "offensive, with a reference to race" (the FA doesn't accuse anyone of racism).
Sorry to burst your bubble but this has **** all to do with the fact that I support Chelsea. I'll also point out that I'm half Barbadian so you can take your "majority of ethnics will understand" spew and shove it up your arse mate.

Just what part of this is NOT racist? Is it simply because Rio X said it's not racist, "So there"? Let's just imagine Terry had been found guilty, and say Shaun Derry had given evidence to support Anton. Now, let's say Lampard had gone on Twitter amd called Derry an "Uh-Oh Oreo". Do you see where this is going yet...?
