what now fergi

you tell everyone that dalglish was sacked for his handling in the suarez affair, you also pointed out that liverpool should have sacked their prize asset after the handshake debacle
so what do you need to do now then fergie, your player has been found guilty , charged by the FA with improper conduct for comments posted on Twitter. we all know what he meant by his choc ice comment, it was dirogatry, insulting and malicious especially to another black man will you do the honourable thing and step down from your post, will the glaziers sack you or will you say sod all and brush it under the carpet ala cantona style, the ball is in your court

You are arguably one of the most stupid people on this site.

You do not understand the comments made by ferguson and the reasons behind them.

The sad thing is you are comparing two completely different things and trying to use it as an excuse to post ridiculous nonsense.

Debating with someone like you is as pointless as me teaching a cow to fly

2 incidents of racial name calling are totally different?. Interesting take seeing you're usually so racially aware MUDD.

I'm talking about the comments Fergie made about Suarez and the reasons behind them.

Not excusing Rio's idiotic tweet. There is no excuse for what Rio did

I agree that Fergie's response to both incidents was very different, which is what Kenny Evra was saying. But the actions of Rio and Suarez were essentially the same. They were both calling names with reference to colour.

Before making any claim that the term choc-ice is not racially motivated how would you interpret the term if it was aimed at your wife. Would your view on the usage of the term against your wife be dependent on your wife's response to it eg if she laughs it off would you consider that the meaning of the term and/or the significance of its use is reduced?

Fergie never said LFC should sack Suarez because of what he said.

The sacking comment was made the game where Suarez refused to shake Evra.


As for you guys trying to lump both incidents together, it's just amusing and comical. The term choc ice is a racial slur. Some people will be offended by it, some won't.

Ashley Cole for instance, wasn't offended by it (not excusing anything by the way)

Suarez's incident is completely different to this and the bias is blinding you guys.


I'll explain - Suarez incident, individual racially abuses another person face to face, repeatedly and till this day has refused to apologise for it.

Rio incident - Someone makes a racially offensive comment and Rio, the fool that he is laughs at it. Similar to you being told a racist joke and you laugh at it and repeat it to someone else.

Two different things. If they were the same, all of us who watch comedy shows and repeat jokes about race and laugh at them should be up before the CPS for prosecution.

Why hasn't the CPS charged Rio? The comment is in public domain and everyone has seen it. Why were they looking for the person that did the original tweet and not Rio?

Or do Utd control the police as well?

Rio made a racially insensitive comment, was not racial abuse. He should be punished for it though, no question.

Be objective

MUDD, you go to great lengths to suggest that Rio didn't really do anything wrong because its no different than laughing at a racist joke. Is that really ok? What would your wife say if you laughed at a joke about race and then forwarded it on? You then contradict yourself by saying 'Rio made a racially insensitive comment, was not racial abuse. He should be punished for it though, no question'.

Can you clarify the difference between racially insensitive and racially abusive? You yourself describe choc-ice as a racial slur but you says it's insensitive but not abusive?

Finally you say that Rio should be punished for his actions. The whole point of this article is that Fergie is hypocritical for not calling for him to be punished but you have been arguing against this suggestion. Another contradiction?

Was his 8 game ban a figment of everyone's imagination?

FSB, once again, I'm not condoning Rio's idiocy. In this case he wasn't the abuser but a participant and he should be punished. He repeated parts of the abuse and laughed. My daughter is mixed race and if anyone called he choc ice or bounty, I would take exception to it.

Rio should be punished for agreeing with the abuse and not calling ter twit on his twitter to order but he wasn't the person who directly abused Cole, one of the twits on his twitter did.

Again I reiterate, Suarez racially abused someone he didn't repeat what someone else said. He did it himself and still has not apologised for it.

What Rio did and what Suarez did cannot be compared. Only people with an axe to grind will view both incidents as similar.

I have always stated, Rio should be punished for his behaviour. That hasn't changed. most Utd fans want him punished too.

I've got to say a totally different approach was taken by Liverpool fans who defended what Suarez did and are up in arms about this because of the punishment Suarez received for his actions.

You guys kept saying Evra should man up and it wasn't racist abuse but now the tune has changed and you are all racially sensitive, curious about face indeed
