Who was the Man City player who missed a test like RF?
Was following the story and didn't see this either at the time or since.
Roy Keane didn't even mention him in his best United 11
Each to their own. At his best I thought he was in the top 10 centre halves in the world.
Jaap Stam was definitely better than Rio. Also given that half this message board seem to hate Rio, there's a good chance he wasn't Roy Keane's cup of tea either.
Hes a complete bellend but he was a great footballer, not the worlds defender tho
I agree. Think England had a result when he retired in the summer, I am sure Roy would of picked him for the WC. Think Terry could still do a job though, but that is more of a reflection on Jagielka and Cahill's ability than anything.
Yup, dodged a bullet on that one for sure. He was very very good in his prime even though I still believe, like Englands Golden Generation, he only ever fulfilled 50% of his potential. We all thought he was going to be the new beckenbaur strolling out of defence with the ball building up the attacks but for some reason he stopped doing that when he was about 21. Now his brother, he really was sh*te.
Isn't that young man Joe Cole linked with them as well?

JC is still a decent player.

You trying to get someone banned from GPG??
Reference to a slag using Jamaican slang...
Rio's problem is that (much like his teammate Joey Barton) he thinks he's an intellectual footballer when it's clear to everybody he's just a bell end

He's a complete tool who thinks he's some sort of national treasure talking about how he'll probably get involved in coaching to give something back.The most cowardly hard man there ever was.
Always first on the scene looking for someone to hold him back

Plus a convicted drug offender.
Don't like the man, but I don't believe this is true......
Missing an employer required drug test, while naughty, does not make anyone a " convicted drug offender".
Has anyone ever seen hard evidence that he has used illegal drugs and convicted for it in a court of law ?

This is a bit of a sore subject with me, you have Christine Ohuruogu as well who is a darling of the media and yet was convicted of worse than Ferdinand..
I used the term in a sporting context, he missed a test and was convicted of that as a drugs offence.
There is no evidence of him using illegal drugs but he is still a drug offender in the strictest terms of his chosen career.
I feel the same about Shane Warne, actually convicted of for using a banned substance and yet treated like royalty when others seem to retain a stigma and can't get a media career off the ground.
His drug of choice was apparently a slimming aid but it was also a known drug for disguising the use of steroids and other banned substances, the officials believed his side.

In a lot of cases there is a lot of lip service to the anti-drug cause but that's all it is.
I know that at one rugby league final some time a go one of the two samples submitted was urine from a pregnant woman and the other was John Smiths Bitter, neither came back with a query.
Can't we all agree that the bloke is a c**t and close the thread?
Not going to deny the second part, but if we're going to insult Rio Ferdinand let's get it right.A grade A hypocritical bell end. Hates it when racist language is used agianst him/someone he knows but happy to use it against others.
As far as intelect is concerned, my belly button fluff has more brains than Ferdinand.

He re-tweeted someone who called Ashley Cole a 'choc-ice', he didn't shout 'you f**king black c*nt', like John Terry. There's a pretty big difference between the two :shrug:
