I can't be objective about this because I just don't like the guy.
I think even at his prime he was nowhere near as good as he thought he was as a footballer, now he's just stealing a wage, why do you think Utd got rid of him?
He also has a rap sheet as long as my arm for all his misdemeanors over the years.
The guy is a twunt, I'm sorry, and when I heard about his fine and ban I did have a little smile to myself.... Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.  |  |

Ferdinand strikes me as someone who likes to play in a world of Political Correctness only when it suits him. He has form with inappropriate tweets, yet is the first to produce a red card when it goes against his agenda. You can't cherry pick the rules. I think PC has gone too far sometimes but if this word was used by someone else and in another context he would be the first to complain. The punishment was correct and he should accept it like a grown up and stop bleating. |  | | |

Considering he's already got previous on twitter, why didn't QPR ban him from using it? Or is that not allowed these days? Or better still, take some responsibility himself and not do it.
This is modern football though, where he will miss 3 games and still pick up his 30 or 40 k a week..and continue tweeting. I mean, missing 3 games through a tweet is just ridiculous really if you think about it.
He's gone though now in footballing terms. Redknapp had already dropped him. | | | |

In answer to the original post, Yes he should be banned for such a racist and sexist slur on someones mother. He has previous form, missing a drugs test and calling Ashley Cole a Choc Ice because AC's views were not compatible with his own.
Considering that he was recently chosed by Greg Dyke to sit on the commision for the future of English Football, he should know he now has to tow the line and not get himself embroiled in ill thought out responses to jibes.
As for the John Terry Incident, what more can I say, as I'm not a fan of either. Now he's threatening to flounce off and not support any future FA initiatives. Well, Rio go ahead and flounce, I'm sure we won't miss you one bit.  |  |

Jane,
Sorry, I gave out some incorrect information in my post.
Rio Ferdinand was in fact on the Jonathan Ross TV Show on Saturday 25.10.14. It was not the Graham Norton Show.
Rio Ferdinand was on this show with, Russell Brand, Lindsay Lohan and Daniel Radcliffe.
I must admit that it is a rare occasion for me to watch these chat shows, but I happened to be watching when Rio appeared. Russell Brand apparently is a great follower of football and goes to West Ham whenever he can.
I got it mixed up because I had watched the Graham Norton Show when Kevin Pietersen had been on it with John Cleese and Taylor Swift. I had deliberately watched that one because I had wanted to see what Kevin Pietersen had to say about his new book and his ostracism from the England Cricket Team.
One can get back editions of these shows on BBC/ITV Player, so it is Jonathan Ross not Graham Norton you need to feed in. Sorry about that!
Looks like Rio Ferdinand could be a TV football pundit when he retires from playing. I think I better keep my opinions to myself! |
Isn't it difficult to decide these things.
Like most, I'm not a Ferdinand fan. In real terms though, unless you are tweeting about work, or being racist etc or breaking some law, then no, I don't think he should be punished in footballing terms.
But, the world of social networking has gone slightly mad if you ask me. |  |
