    Rio Ferdinard's comments.

    Help me out, I'm struggling here. Deep respect for Cole not taking the issue further, but will the authorities or the FA?

    Terry had his days in court, and legally it's over. Not going to pass judgement on it, because it's not the issue.

    Ferdinand wants us to believe that 'choc ice' is a term to say someone is fake, I've found nothing pre comments to back it up.

    If a white guy had called Cole 'choc ice' would it have been deemed as racist?

    But for me another more sinister point is raised by it, because it's implying that he acted 'white' in defending Terry and only white people would do that. It's clear that Ferdinand thought Terry was guilty and only a black man would support that and only a white man wouldn't, based on colour not situation. So in Ferdinand's eyes, all whites are racist. Surely that in itself is racist irrespective of the obvious racist comment directed a Cole.


    And this isn't a support Terry voice, this is an 'in the interest of fairness and consistency' voice.

    Decided to throw it up here as it's not really a football site, so common sense may overcome blinkered prejudice.

    Footballers and Twitter are not a good combination.
    The worst job in Thailand must be the man who has to sit down with a blue marker pen and mark a number two on the two-baht coins to stop people thinking they are one-baht coins.

    It used to be a joke, how stupid some of them really were...It's not anymore.

    Far better to stay quiet and be considered a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

    I loved the statements from the trial.

    The word 'innit' was used a fair bit.

    Rio Ferdinand and any form of communication, especially public, are a particularly bad combination.

    yes. ferdy is clearly a monger and clearly would be therefore better off at chelsea
    By 2005 every previous resident of Warsaw had listed their temporary address as Portswood, Southampton, leading to it's appointment as capital of Poland. It is currently the subject of a hostile takeover bid from the home counties, particularly

    i might, if it were an issue. "Wio is a douche" is uncontroversial. beyond that, there's not much substance and thus not much to discuss.

    Thoughts/beliefs like that will ensure that, in the main, racism stays a one way street.

    May I ask, do you think the Terry/Anton Ferdinand and Suarez/Evra incidents were issues?
