What do we think of this folks?

Seems crazy that he is making this kind of comment so soon after the whole John Terry episode.

Hypocrisy.

I know calling someone a '****ing black ****' sarcastically is worse than calling someone a 'choc ice' and the lying about that meaning they're fake.

But they both need a hard slap to the side of the head.

Rio Ferdinand is and always has been a complete and utter tit.

He's not even that good as a footballer, he's bitter, and the only reason Manchester United keep him is because Vidic decided to go and get injured. That and they want to keep things very sentimental.

Personally, I would just follow what some managers have done. I would just ban footballers from using Twitter. All it does is cause hassle and most of them are too stupid to watch what they say whilst they are in the public eye.

I find it funny the news talks about John Terry, a white, while keeping this story, involving a non-white, on the hush.

[QwertyG]

Calling him 'choc ice' was kinda uncalled for

How is Ashley Cole to blame for any of this. And why was Rio so desperate for John Terry to get convicted?

[Annoying-Mouse]

He laughed, so what? If a black person was called a bounty because he was acting like Carlton, I would laugh but I can also recognize the fact that it's bull****. Laughing is a reaction, a reaction you can't control.

It seems as though Rio Ferdinand is creating further segregation. For the first time in a long time, people are favouring Ashley Cole over someone

Yes but you can control posting it to millions online. Not to mention if you look at it is quite racist, its basically saying you're being the white bit which is bad.

You know nothing about football. Absolutely nothing.

A bit like calling an Asian person a "coconut" which I'm told isn't generally recieved well. As for this story, well the dust hasn't settled yet so there's probably still going to be some back and forth between both sides.

Depends on how close the phone is. People don't always think before they act, no one can do that 100% of the times because it's impossible. He didn't say it, he laughed at it. Comedians regularly make jokes about disabled, black, women, rape, murder etc and people laugh, rarely do they believe the joke.

Idiotic remark to make but it is such a non-story it is amazing.

This is a good point and most certainly piques my curiousity more than the superfluous 'racism' debacle.

Where have choc-ices gone? There was once a time where they were more of a regular fixture in my freezer than ice cubes. I used to get quite excited about the whole choc-ice eating experience. Some days I would bite into one and a large shard of the chocolate would come away, others only small fragments would come loose.

I probably know more than you. But then again what can I expect from someone who speaks from Manchester United?

Rio Ferdinand: Tit, injury prone, racist, overrated, drink driver, can't even make the England team of today (and that's saying something), and the only reason he still plays for the team he does is for sentimental reasons. He wouldn't be on that team if he was looking to join it today.

I've got some in the freezer. They're seriously cheap, something like £1 for a box of 10.

Rio is a complete idiot in this scenario. Yes he laughed but he didnt have to reply/retweet it to the world. I like him but I just think he didnt need to do that and could of kept it to himself.
