Mick Mac Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (Mail) Rio Ferdinand is planning to revolutionise English football with the launch of a breakaway union to protect the interests of black footballers? The union ? which has a working name of The Federation of Black Players but will be open to players from all ethnic backgrounds who share a desire to combat racism in English football ? will be self-funded by professionals at every level.

StraferJack Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (Guardian)Rio Ferdinand has quickly moved to downplay reports that he is working on the formation of a new footballers' union - specifically, but not uniquely for black players. "Don't believe all u read", he advised his almost three-and-a-half million Twitter followers, before reverting to matters more commonly discussed in his feed - on this occasion, shaving methods and products.

Perplexed, the presenter asked for clarification, and Brown went on to cite that he gets called suntan and tango...scary Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/18997-football-focus/page/498/#findComment-586718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 That's a stupid comparison by Phil Brown.Anyway, I think Ferdinand's injury problems over the years have caught up with him and when the time comes for him leave Man Utd it will be for that reason and that reason only that SAF will let him go. He can no longer play two or three games a week and that's why he's rested for the game against Braga.

Otta Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I used to be a Ferguson hater, I thought he was a nasty piece of work, but he seems to have mellowed, and realised that there is more to life than winning at football. The last couple of seasons I have found myself respecting and agreeing with a lot of things he is saying.

Mick Mac Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Ferguson is a very intelligent bloke. He is smarter than his players and smarter than most in the media, so few are brave enough to challenge him without risking having egg on their face. Those who do challenge his rule tend to be the losers in the end.But I agree with Otta, he is less abrasive now and more communicative, hence we see the best of him more regularly. But he still has a huge ego and cross him at your peril.

SCSB79 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 He's right. Should have been 6 or 7 to Barca. Should read Barcelona 2 - Forster 1 as he alone kept you from a mauling.Having watched the whole game, that was justice served in the last minute. We got slaughtered by the press for parking the bus against Barcelona and you did exactly the same. At any one time tonight for long periods in the game there were 21 players inside the Celtic half of the pitch.

Mick Mac Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 That's normal for most teams visiting the nou camp. Most people thought it was a great performance nonetheless. Suspect Celtic will be lauded by the media and not slaughtered, so there must have been a difference in approach.
