According to the BBC:

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, speaking about Rio Ferdinand not wearing a Kick It Out T-shirt in the warm-up before his side's game against Stoke: "At the press conference yesterday I spoke to the press about it. It is embarrassing for me. He will be dealt with, no doubt about that."


Could be that Ferdinand gets fined more for making a stand against racism than other players or federations have for engaging in it.

Sadly that's what is probably going to happen Tony C.

i have no idea what the fuck ferguson thought he was doing with those comments about roberts yesterday. i mean, fair enough if he believes KIO is doing a good job and wants to speak in support of what they're doing, but what he said was designed to isolate and belittle roberts, for no other reason than he felt like it. what a nasty old cunt.

I get the impression that Ferdinand suggested to SAF yesterday that he would wear the shirt.

However, it's still none of SAF's damn business.

Perhaps they could wear a different anti-racism shirt. That would show that they're behind the spirit of KIO, but not the execution.

No shirts worn in the Swansea Wigan game today, reports Sporting Life.

Neither side wore the anti-racism campaign Kick It Out t-shirts prior to today's game. It was understood this was down to players looking to provide solidarity with their colleagues who did not want to wear them.

Laudrup admitted he had left the decision up to his players.

He said: "It's an individual thing because the issue is not only a football issue, it is social too. I don't think with a thing like that you can say you have to do it.

"It is better to ask each one of them (the players), I didn't want to have any influence on things, you have to ask each person as it goes much further than football."

Martinez said his side had opted not to wear them in support of Swansea.

He said: "We wanted to show a sign of respect to the home team, the home team for whatever reason decided not to wear them and I did not think it made sense for us to wear the t-shirts.

"We wanted to support the home team and I would expect the same thing if Swansea come to our ground and there is a gesture from the home team."


Sounds like it was the Swansea players who decided not to wear them.

Not for the first time in his career, Ferguson has been an absolute disgrace today. Ferdinand "embarrassed me". Oh well, that's the important thing in all this, how very dare he.

Yeah, piss poor from Ferguson. He's a shambles.

Ferguson has been a complete fool over this. The stupid bastard doesn't think before he speaks and doesn't know when to shut up about issues that are not in his scope.
On Roberts he stated:
I don't know what point he is trying to make. I don't know if he is trying to put himself on a different pedestal from everyone.
Apart from not being an entirely coherent sentence, it smacks of Ferguson telling Roberts he should know his place.
On Ferdinand:
At the press conference I spoke about it, it is disappointing, it is embarrassing for me. [Ferdinand's] let us down.

Again he seems to be saying that Ferdinand is getting ideas above his station and his actions should only tie in what Ferguson thinks. At least he didn't call them uppity Negroes, I suppose.

Yes, fuck Ferguson. It is transparent that he is more pissed off with Ferdinand not toeing the line with his cuntish pronouncements yesterday rather than any pro-racism sentiment.

It is hard to warm to Ferdinand but cunts like Ferguson and Terry almost manage it.

Given Ferguson has spent much of the past eight years going out of his way to embarrass the club, he really does have some knackers on him.

The only knackers on Ferguson are the Glazers, slapping against his chin.

Agree with everyone, this a huge f*ck up on Ferguson's part. I get the impression Rio would've probably worn the t-shirt had Ferguson not come out with the absurd criticism of Jason Roberts's refusal to wear the KIO shirt. I agree with Roberts's, if I were a black player, I wouldn't want to wear it if racism can't even be kicked out amongst his fellow professionals.

Ferguson is in the initial stages of getting his P45 drafted here, isn't he? Ferdinand's actions sort of suggest he isn't the force he once was behind the scenes at Old Trafford. But I guess we've known that for a while now.

Reminds me a bit of Thatcher getting booted out and Ferdinand would a sort of Geoffrey Howe figure. I guess Ryan Giggs would have to be Alan Clark, Paul Scholes would be John Major.

Ferguson really is a silly old duffer, isn't he?
Hope Ferdinand tells him to fuck off.

Kick It Out chairman Lord Herman Ouseley insisted it was ‘ridiculous’ for players not to wear T-shirts. ‘It’s ridiculous to say that by not wearing a T-shirt or by not supporting Kick It Out you are actually going to change things,’ he said.


That's right, Lord,players frustrated at an impotent archaic initiative should just shut up and get on with it.

Agree with all the above, a second retirement for the old bastard shouldn't be far off?

ManU players as Thatcher's cabinet? Obviously Jonny Evans would be Brian Mawhinney, Nani based on his hapless display last Tuesday would be Selwyn Gummer (the bloke who force fed his daughter a Creutzfeld-Jakob burger on live TV).

Does that means Paul "John Major" Scholes is going to take over?

So, what's going on here basically is the football establishment bleating that its anti-racism campaign is being undermined by people complaining about racism.

And Ferguson's dignity-phobia's just ratcheted itself up yet another notch: why does anyone take what the bullying old cunt says seriously anymore?

Surely to goodness you can't be fined for not wearing a T shirt? Could that really be deemed to be bringing the game into disrepute?

What a depressing farce. You'd think a football manager would, at some stage, realise that criticising a black guy for making a statement about racism in the game isn't the best course of action.

"Best you learn your f***ing place. You don't run this f***ing club. You f***ing pleb."

SAF, yesterday. (Allegedly.)
