Rio Ferdinand

[xerxes]

Rio is a twat, but the punishment is disproportionately high for the offence.

[Funkasy]

Fa are idiots

[JagSquared]

The gossip section was reporting that his team mates are secretly happy with him being banned. I can't help but feel he left united a season to early he gifts the opposition chances these days.

[Dr Nowt]

Quite shocked to read that he might retire in January.

 

Thought he had two seasons ago.

 

Hoo-ha!

[DanDanShaw]

I'd be pretty pissed off I was him, he's given a £25,000 fine and a 3 match ban for calling somebody's ma a cum dumpster.  Yet being caught on camera calling his younger brother a "black cunt" St John Terry was only given a 4 match ban.

[Trumo]

The FA have donated that £25k fine to charity. And by 'charity' I mean the FA collection pot to pay for the canapés at the Christmas do for all the FA cronies. They probably wish Suarez was still playing in England just so they could fine him for something trivial and pay for the booze too.

[DanDanShaw]

Why can't he call somebody's ma anyway?  I don't see how that fine/ban would stand up in court, it isn't racist/homophobic or anything like that.  He might not be setting the best example, but why should he have to?

 

I'm not sticking up for the smack head, but I don't really think the punishment fits the crime, even if his top lip is disgusting.

Be surprised if they don't do him for this one.

[Harry Squatter]

If Suarez was still here the FA would fine him that often that their Christmas party would look like the plane orgy scene in the Wolf of Wall Street.

Well they wont invite him round for nibbles, thats for sure.

Suck it up, Hotpants.

More time for shopping. He loves a bit of that...

[INTORRESTING]

Banned for that? Thats a joke

[Boss]

The man is an ignoramus, how many times has he been banned now because of twitter? He needs to quit twitter until his career is over, i mean he's not saying anything groundbreaking is he?

 

Here's his latest tweet - Cup of tea and jam on toast in the mornings, with Jeremy Kyle on TV thrown in # This.

[Bjornebye]

Wouldn't have happened if he was still at the mancs

[magicrat]

Wouldn't have happened if he was still at the mancs

Didn't he get an 8 month ban for skipping a drugs test whilst at the Mancs

Bit different isnt it

According to international sports convention he should have got 2 years ban for the drugs offence. According to FA convention he should have got a £10k fine for a twitter offence.

 

He got off lightly on the drugs because of Ferguson and United. He got done badly on twitter because he plays for QPR and he has recently indicated that the FA and England manager are racists

 

[VladimirIlyich]

He was surprisingly good on the BBC's World Cup panel.

That may say more about the BBC than him.

[TheHowieLama]

I'v no problem wif "im.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Rio got merked!

[Kevin D]

That's absolutely pathetic he was suspended for that.  Borderline embarrassing.

Agreed.

[JohnnyH]

Wow.  John Terry is on camera calling a player a "Fucking black cunt", and he gets only 1 more game then a fella using a term that I've no idea what it means, and on googling it seems to be the same as calling someone’s mum a slag? 

 

The FA really are hilarious.

I know . Pathetic attempt to denigrate further a fine upstanding pillar of the community.

Seriously? He was fucking shite.

He has the personality of an ironing board. I'd rather listen to 10 cats twirling around in a cement mixer.

[Jim MM]

As I said already, I don't approve of footballers using twitter... but, I have to give Ferdinand a bit of credit for speaking out in support of Sterling when all the crap about him not playing for England was going on a few weeks ago.

It caught my attention at the time because it was Rio Ferdinand and he was talking sense.
