Rio Ferdinand Busted Open By 2p Coin Thrown By Man City Fan (Photos & Video)
By Chris Wright
From the back of a crowded pub it look liked he’d just poked himself in the eye trying to get his shirt over his head, but on closer inspection it would appear that Rio was hit in the eye by shrapnel thrown from the Man City fans…
what a result,3points! Sweet! Whoever threw that coin,what a shot! Can’t believe it was a copper 2p….could have at least been a £1 coin!

much respect for Hart for fending his own fans off of Rio
It was weird how RVP made out he had no idea about Rio’s injury, yet he’s clearly seen talking to him as he goes of the pitch. Either way, this little scrote needs a lesson or two in keeping it in his pants. And headwear.

Incidents like this will surely give football a bad reputation.
Am I Milwaukee’s ONLY City supporter?
Coin my arse.
This faking bastard has just smashed his own tee shirt off his face in an attempt to smear Man City fans. The depths they’ll sink to…
“Busted open”? You been watching WWE from a few years ago?
Disgraceful how he went on twitter to tell the world that pound coins should be thrown instead of smaller lighter ones. Convicted of charges related to drugs and racism he really should know when to shut up. But Man City’s fans showed themselves to be a scummy lot. I’ve only been in Manchester once but i really hate it. Not that I’m homophobic but I really really hate it. Each to their own I suppose.
What the hell does homophobic have to do with anything?
