Rio Ferdinand Escapes Punishment Over Silly Fernando Torres Kerfuffle, Wilfried Zaha Collared For Bird Flip
By Chris Wright
The FA have declared that Rio Ferdinand will not be charged for shunting Fernando Torres over during the FA Cup quarter-final between Manchester United and Chelsea on Sunday, as referee Howard Webb – who had his back to the incident at the time – has been shown footage and deemed Rio’s nudge as not being worthy of a red card.
Judge for yourself…
Silly? Yes, certainly. Dangerous? Not in the slightest.
Elsewhere, United newboy Wilfried Zaha has been charged with improper conduct by the FA over the middle finger salute he raised to the Leeds fan during Crystal Palace’s Championship tie against Leeds, after the away support spent the entire game chanting rude and hurtful things about his imminent move to Old Trafford.
Bird is the word.

Kerfuffle? Man U set piece.
Can’t wait for Zaha to come to United!
I will let the fact I signed him on FIFA before Fergie did (IRL) slip quietly by.
OH WAIT.
:D
Ferdinand is a pillock
Double standards again, if that would be done by Suarez, Tevez or any foreign player it would be a minimum 3 match ban!
Don’t worry Zaha you’ll be able to get away with that next season in a Man Utd shirt.
He trips and pushes him, I think its worthy of a red card? its comparable to the knee shot Terry was sent off for against Barça
