.....for "racially abusing" Rio & Anton Ferdinand during last Fridays game in San Marino.

Anyone know what was chanted?

The inclusion of Anton is a little troublesome...

Cannot be directly identified as racist I just don't understand why Anton Ferdinand is getting abused as well....

He was racially abused by Terry but was not the one who complained about it and his brother decided not to accept an England call up because he has a special routine to stop him suffering injuries..

I cannot see which of these is sufficient cause to have a go at Anton for...

"Further adapted from a Manchester United song that substituted Scousers for chestnuts. And now used for this."

If Rio does indeed have some "special routine" then why not just retire from international football instead of wasting everyone's f-cking time?! My guess is that he loves his name in the media. Likewise he'll be lapping this up right now. 30+ year old and still no sign of growing up

I agree Anton shouldn't be brought into this as he'd be lucky to play for f-cking Wales such is his obvious lack of talent.

I'm angry about this because it is not even slightly racist. You certainly can't compare this "incident" to the sh-te the U21s had to put up with in Serbia, yet the word "disgrace" has already been mentioned.

My personal feeling is that Rio has behaved appallingly this week by basically sh-tting on his country. I'm a proud Englishman and as such I completely understand the fans reaction towards him. But to be hit with a racism charge would be beyond pathetic.

If it were the same chant but about the Neville brothers it would be fine though, its pathetic. The chant itself isnt even offensive.
