twitter really is a complete and utter waste of time.
I agree, that's why I don't use it.
Rio Ferdinand
- Thread starter Logan!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

Who the feck is Viv Powers and why does the BBC think we should give a shit what she thinks?
No chance it was a set up.
I will take back my opinions from yesterday as this seems to have had the desired affect afterall following the games yesterday and the amount of players who followed suit.
But now what? I would like to see someone tell us what they want to see happen and why they are all so annoyed.
Obviously we know the reasons but it would be nice to see it being said officially. And anything to stick the boot into JT is a good thing.
I dont understand the relevance of this post, whats it got to do with on-field performances or results?
I'm guessing it was in reference to a poster saying if Rio is punished he'd like to see Fergie get the sack. Or summat...
I like how some are guessing at Rio's motives, like expecting a longer ban for Terry? Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't, but surely when you take into account how he's personally been treated on a national level is reason enough to be pissed at the Fa and a campaign they run? After all he's been victimised for an incident he wasn't even part of.
Again, whether he's right or wrong to wear the shirt, who are we to question what he believes in here?
As for those banging on about us talking about this, well it's an issue to do with a United, and this is a discussion board where, guess what, we discuss things about United. This may well all be a storm in a teacup, but what's wrong with talking about it?
Unless, of course, you think Saf should be sacked over it, in which case there's no hope for you

'kin ell! Do you have no sympathy? We're now presuming he kicked up a fuss with SAF? This place can get ridiculous sometimes. Your first statement can be called into question. Especially when such a campaign counts for so little of the FA's funding. It's the question we should actually be focusing on instead of gobbing off about Rio or Fergie. Are we doing enough to kick racism out of football? You're coming at this situation from the wrong angle mate. Calm down and have a word with yourself.
This.
And I am of the belief that a man who has manged at the top level for so long and has always spoken against racism and other issues not just relating to the club, and with so so much experience must be knowing something in all of this.
What a ridiculous post.
Rio would have expected more than a 4 match ban and 1 week wages in fines. I certainly did. If thats how you punish someone guilty of racism, there's no point talking about kicking it out. it wont happen.
Rio has to wait till he's attacked racially himself? Are you fecking serious?
"I hope he goes off into the sunset".
We're talking about a player here, versus the greatest thing to ever happen to this football club.
You should all be embarrassed. Forget the issue, or the context, if you're willing to back a player over the manager on ANY issue, further calling for the Great Man's head, you're a laughing stock.
does anybody really talk like this? I don't think there was ever a "Rio vs SAF" thing happening, its made up by gullible idiots like you who believe everything you read in the papers.
Let's hope so.
Why would it not be? As SAF said, it was a miscommunication issue. Is there really anything more to look into?
Oh no! There are going to be a lot of disappointed Sports editors out there!
So when all is said and done it turns out this was not that big of a deal, SAF and Rio chatted and worked it out. Shocking.
I'd like to think it's done, but no doubt it'll be the main topic of conversation in thebuild up to the Chelsea game.
If it was a big deal and there was a massive bust up and as tension is on a knife edge, you can be sure that Ferguson won't let anyone outside the club know.
As far as the media is concerned, all is fine.
for sure. this story was worth another 2 or 3 days in headlines. how dare they conspire to ruin the meejas day.
Yes, and another handshake-gate coming. Rio vs Cole!
Well the pundits will bring it up because they like to try and make things bigger than they are don't they? On the training pitch and in the locker room I doubt much thought will be given to it at all.
What will be an issue and what was going to be an issue anyways will be the reaction of Chelsea's fans to Rio and will Rio and Cole shakehands. Again both issues would be raised with or without the shirt issue.
Fergie keen for Ferdinand to stay

So much for some wanting him sacked. Wishful thinking comes to mind.

Idiots!
Swiftly dealt with. Very good to see.
Anyone think Rio might reject a 1 year extension for a move to a club that offers him a longer contract?
Great news, sense prevails and thankfully ego's didn't get in the way.
No. He'l finish here.
Wouldn't surprise me.
Hard to believe he's almost 34. I have no doubt he can carry on until late 30s, injuries permitting. So classy, so effortless.
Could only see it if he moves abroad. Most top clubs have similar policies to ourselves when it come's to one year extensions and he's not gonna move to City or Chelsea. If he wants to maintain and build his popularity and remain at a competitive club it only makes sense for him to stay here.
when will his testimonial occur?
A move to the States maybe? Rio sure does love his music. They can have a English old boys club over there with Becks & Lampard! (if he ends up going).
Concerning, especially after the farce with Pogba.
Nah they are just preparing the Rio dropped from Braga game reports now saying that Fergie is trying to cover up the rift
Thought he was brilliant today! So composed on the ball - was third last for one goal and fourth for another. Brilliant at intercepting. His passing was also spot on today.
Seemed very serious about the game but as Rossa said he kept his cool. Chelsea's boo boys only motivated him. games like this remaind you of his ability.
Excellent game from him. Wrap him in cotton wool for arse next week
He was excellent, yes. When is Vidic back?
Played some beautiful passes.
He held it down pretty much on his own with Evans and Carrick not having good days.
