Who was the cause of all going to court >>>>>>>>>>>>

BIG brother Rio ( Scumbag/chip on shoulder ) forced Anton to press charges, so he could get Terry charge and get the place on the England team, but the rest is history


Rio Ferdinand charged by FA over 'choc ice' tweet allegedly aimed at Cole after Terry racism trial

..Rio Ferdinand will consult lawyers before deciding whether he will contest Monday's FA charge for his ‘choc ice’ tweet.

The Manchester United defender has until 4pm on Thursday to respond after the FA charged him with making improper comments which included a reference to ethnic origin and/or colour and/or race.
The initial ‘choc ice’ remark about Ashley Cole came two days after the Chelsea defender gave evidence on behalf of team-mate John Terry in his race trial concerning Ferdinand’s brother Anton. Ferdinand initially responded to a tweet accusing Cole of being a ‘choc ice’ — street slang for being black on the outside and white on the inside.

Charged: Rio Ferdinand is in bother over a comment he responded to on Twitter


Ferdinand tweeted: ‘I hear you fella! Choc ice is classic. Hahahahahaha!!’ He later deleted the tweet and claimed on Twitter that it was slang for someone being ‘fake’.
It appears that the FA have not accepted his explanation and Ferdinand has the option of a personal hearing.
The Ferdinand charge came on the day it emerged that the FA’s case against Terry will dog Roy Hodgson’s preparations for England’s August 15 friendly against Italy.

Terry requested a personal hearing after being charged under Rule E3 for allegedly making racist remarks towards Anton Ferdinand at Loftus Road last October. Terry’s legal team must agree on a mutually acceptable date for the case to be heard.

A big win tonight for Team GB and I'll go a cheer them on this Saturday in the quarters at the Millenium Stadium.

Dil - You shouldn't have a problem getting a seat!

Shame about the pitch, must have used too many sheep in their grass cutting role!

You should go Dil, I was at Wembley last night to watch the girls beat Brazil 1-0, the atmosphere was brilliant.

However many medals Team GB win and by whatever measure the Games are consider to be a success, the British public have embraced the Idea. I can't recall an Olympics where the home support has been so incredibly partisan but at the same time fair and friendly.

Tremendous stuff and we've still got lots to come

That was taken 3 hours before kick off skinny :)

Got 4 tickets for Saturday chuckles to watch Wales & Co v S Korea and no need to worry if it goes to penalties cos Giggs , Bellamy , Ramsey , Allen and Taylor will take them.

Most of the GB team need going back to Football school....what do they do at the training ground ?......at times : this is so poor....the play should be far better than this...and why the hell do they call it the GB team....shouldn't it be the UK team ?.....

Nothing wrong with the defense or attack, but usual crap in midfield where nobody seems to understand as what should be done.......

Whoever gets gets through will be thrashed by Brazil on this performance........is this the best the UK can put out.......?..................

Looks like they should have picked Beckham.....

I knew it....as soon as they get to penalties....usual muck-up.......without being called racist or what......limit the number of black players in a side in the UK......2 or 3...maximum.......no more.....this is not Brazil with tremendous talents with fantastic flair......and what's the idea of sticking a tongue out at the opposing player....yellow card in my opinion......

I know that England with Chelsea are Europeans champions but there is something wrong with the way way young players are being coached....it is clear that the talents, and there are some, are not being groomed in the right way.....as soon as the ball arrives in midfield : nobody has a clue as what to do with it most of the the time, this is frustrating because the defenses and upfront attacks are fine once the ball gets there...it's the lack of imagination from defense to midfield and coordination from midfield to attack that's at fault....big problem to be addressed by all manager-trainers in the UK as a whole!....

Unlucky Wales :O) Total poo, but surely there is some disparity here, how is it that the best British Tennis player in Britain can compete in the olympics together with Federer etc yet our best footballers don't or can't or are not allowed,where is the logic?

Never seen so many Union flags in Cardiff in all my life.

Party atmosphere inside and outside the ground but the football was dire. On the plus side we were sat 2 rows from the pitch slightly to the right of where all the pens were taken.

RF , I blame Pearce for consistently playing with just one up front and that being the reason our midfield either passed sideways or backwards. Bellamy or Giggs should have played up alongside Sturridge to give us more movement and opportunities of playing balls fowards. Our negativity got what it deserved.

Bellamy coming home.

A good bet would be perhaps on Montpellier tonight to win rather than the Jamaican 100m relay where the odds are hopeless.....I wouldn't be surprised if the USA won that tonight...
