Ferdinand is a rod head. He wants to get his head on his game rather than poncing about like he does. TOp player when he is on his game, it just isnt often enough. Tit.

@King Eric - so what does that make you? A little man..? Your comments are shitty and unfair on someone who does something in an official holiday (for a footballer) so it has nothing to do with you.

@theboogeyman - I'll happily admit I'm a cunt too, I just see red when people put down someone for something that has nothing to do with their current situation. I think it's great Rio has other things to do in his spare time, and why not? But apologies if you were offended, late nights and so-called United fans putting him down for something that happened months and months ago isn't on.

@Always Be Closing

official holiday? i thought the season has started and rio has nt exactly been in great form.so a few extra hours of practice wont be bad, will they,especially tring to get fit ASAP.
Let me make it clear i am not criticsing rio.he has been immense for us in all that he has done since joining United but in these times you need to put in a bit more efforts

Always be Closing - What exactly did I say wrong? Tosser thats all. I am the first to admit and you can look on previous posts that on form Rio is THE best centre half in Europe. You can ask anyone on here, I am the last person to slag United's players mate. Just the video wound me up somewhat thats all.

Can't believe some people on here.

This is in Rio's summer holidays, after he had just helped us win the league, it's not the day before the game.

What he does in his private time in his holidays is up to him - this is quite funny btw, he's chilling with his mates. What does it have to do with any of you moaning cunts?

@nectarine and anyone else questioning the hang gustures:

the hand signs Rio was doing werent from a "gangsta rap" culture, in fact, they are mainly used in the metal scene and are also known as devil horns.

http://pix.motivatedphotos.com/2009/3/24/633735303961258460-devilhorns.jpg

and for the people calling rio a twat and an embarrassment:

are you telling me you've never gone out with your mates and had a few drinks and a good time? If he's in his summer holidays and not at his job, then he's got just as much right as you have to do whatever you want on your days off so shut the fuck up and get on with your own lives.

I don't want to sound like a dipper, but calm down, calm down. Well said AIG. I thought Rio's performance was embarrassing, but only in the way your mates can get embarrassing when fooling around and everyone laughs at them. We've all done it, some of us in tune, some not, but no-one gives a stuff.As for Rio, it all looked a bit Ali G , but any rapper namechecking Carl Perkins' 'Blue Suede Shoes' and hymning up rock-n-roll is OK with me. Personally I'm not crazy about Rio's flirtation with gangsta stuff, in photo-ops and in in other ways, but give him a break, he's allowed to have some fun during his summer off-season. His form has clearly suffered because of long-term fitness problems, and there are legitimate questions about all his activities distracting him, but don't give him a bum rap for this one too.

@aig alex is god - the summer wasn't during the season. The video wasn't filmed yesterday or even in the past month.

@Always Be Closing - you could've put your point across without having to insult and name a few people on this blog "cunts". Everyone has a different mind and an different outlook to life and a different opinion.

Although I have to disagree with the majority of you. This video isn't the reason for his bad room, neither is the film premieres he's attending, and neither is it from any of his off field activites and hobbies. He's free to do what he wants to do in the holidays. We can't tell him to stop having fun, or tell him to not get involved in movie-making. It's his decisions and he's responsible for the consequences, so why the need to insult him when he's one of the most important players in our team. It's because of his injured back, which has been a long standing problem, since last year. This is the reason for his bad form. In the games he's played since that back injury he had to be careful to play safely so not to pull any of his back muscles to not make it worse/trigger pain. Apparently, he's been told he might need surgery, and I think this should have happened time ago.

@King Eric - you called him a tosser and were - seemingly - flabbergasted that someone dare enjoy themselves. You can't praise someone and then be relinquished of any criticism if you call them a "tosser", it's just plain stupid. You call him a tosser, I call you a cunt. I'm sure you'll live with it.

@ Fze123 - if they call him a prick/tosser/cunt, then no, I can't see why I'd put my point across differently. Why is it different if I say it to them? Because I have the gall to do so? Slating Rio for being on holiday is absolutely pathetic.

@Always Be Closing - you asked why it is different if you say it to them, as they called Rio a prick/tosser/cunt. Well, they did so because they didn't like his behaviour in the video, but also because it's highly unlikely that Rio Ferdinand ever reads this blog and would reply back to the insults, whereas if you replied back calling them cunts for calling Rio a cunt they'll get back at you and hurl abuse for insulting them, and it will just go on and on. Which is why you should have diasgreed politely. We're utd fans and shouldn't have a go at each other, like aig alex is god said.

Just know that I understand your anger and I agree that this rapping shit is got nothing to do with us, it's just showing him enjoying himself on a holiday. Scott even put in in the 'Just for fun' section. I find it embaressingly funny.

Always Be Closing - Fair enough. I do think he is the best defender around BUT I still think he looks a tosser on that film. End of. And yes I can live with being called a cunt, even though it is unnecessary.

Again! more lynch mob like behavior

Ferdinand has been wonderful for us for so long and he goes off form and all of a sudden hes getting abuse left right and centre

I remember when scott posted a thread about rio launching his own magazine and everyone was going "Oh rio looks like a fucking pimp" blah blah and now that hes off form the same people are going oh hes a bloody disgrace!

If a lad cant have fun in the off season after winning the Premiership,Carling Cup,Club World Cup(some of those he raised the trophy as captain)...sigh.
