Two things about this article. Firstly - if Anton Ferdinand gets charged by the FA then when does Patrice Evra's four match ban start? Secondly Suarez didn't use the word "negro" which could be considered insulting, he used the descriptive word "negrito".

He didn't, he said 'negro'....pronounced 'nehg-ro' rather than 'knee-grow'.Thanks very much for being ‘This Mornings’ Farmer’Comment

Not often that Ashley Cole covers himself in glory, but...
The episode drew a response from Cole's lawyers: "Ashley Cole has been made aware of the discussion following comments appearing on Twitter and wishes to make it clear that he and Rio Ferdinand are good friends and Ashley has no intention of making any sort of complaint. Ashley appreciates that tweeting is so quick it often results in off-hand and stray comments."Oh I don't know.Comment

I see good old Clark Carlise is jumping back on a racist bandwagon by doing that show for the BBC "Is football racist" and also coming out saying players should be punished for foul language. He the last person who should be asked tp take a moral stance as getting behind a wheel of a car pissed makes his opinions void.

Claiming now that 'choc-ice' (and by extension, 'coconut') means someone is being false, as opposed to the already established meanings."What I said yesterday is not a racist term. It’s a type of slang/term used by many for someone who is being fake. So there," Ferdinand said.
The Twitter row follows former England captain John Terry’s acquittal over allegations that he called Ferdinand’s brother Anton a "f****** black c***" during a match on October 23 last year.
Cole, 31, had told Terry’s trial that his Stamford Bridge captain, who is also a friend, was not a racist.
Cole, who also told the court he was a long-standing friend of the Ferdinand brothers, was on Friday accused by a person who sent a tweet to Rio Ferdinand of being a "choc ice".
The person wrote: "Looks like Ashley Cole's going to be their choc ice. Then again he's always been a sell out. Shame on him."
Ferdinand replied to the Twitter message, saying, "I hear you fella! Choc ice is classic! hahahahahahha!!"
"Choc ice" is a term commonly understood to mean "black on the outside, white on the inside".
John Terry and Anton Ferdinand Terry was accused of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand
Twitter users were quick to begin discussing the comments, prompting Ferdinand to write: "And if I want to laugh at something someone tweets....I will! Hahahahaha! Now stop getting ya knickers in a twist!"
Sure, you should stop "getting your knickers in a twist"..........this racism/unacceptable wording etc baloney is only a bit of a laugh - except of course when it suits your own ends."I will make the boys feel your support"
