Pic of Richards on the OS

[SWP's back]

Except it does.

Where? I can' fucking see it. Point me to where it says MUFC on it.

Unfortunately for us all life isn't quite that simple. If Micah had a number 69 on his cap on the front page of the OS some might also object. Does it need a picture of the sexual position for it to be considered crude and for us to know what it's about? Of course not. Just as it doesn't need MUFC on it for anyone to know that the number 5 on ferdinands clothing range represents his squad number for the past decade or so for man united. That's a close enough connection for me.

It's similar to the symbol CR7. Now, some people might say '2 letters and a number, whats the problem bluemooners will whinge about anything blah blah', but I wouldn't expect to see a City player on the OS with CR7 clobber on, for (seemingly, to me) obvious reasons. I see little or no difference between this and ferdinands clobber with his squad number on it and I don't think it should be on the MCFC OS

Am I angry about it? No. Do I think Micah is a rag or a rag lover? No. Will my opinion of him change in any way? No. Do I think it should be on the front page of the OS? No

A curious question for those who think it should be on the OS - fashion preferences aside, would you wear a rio ferdinand hat that has rio ferdinands man united squad number to a City game?

That would be a really good example had Lizarazu (sp?) not worn the number 69. Or if Rio Ferdinand and Utd been the only clubs with a number 5 in the squad. As for the CR7 link, he is known by CR7, no one refers to Rio as "5" do they? If you see little or no difference between the two then I suggest a visit to the opticians.<br /><br />-- Wed Sep 04, 2013 5:15 pm --<br /><br />

But you would argue that "it was just a taxi"?

Do you think for a moment MUFC would have a picture of one of their players on it's official website who was wearing stuff designed by Lescott?

A completely different scenario again mate and not even on the same sphere as wearing a cap with a 5 on it.

I suspect 95% of the public have no fucking clue that the cap with a 5 on it has anything to do with Rio.

I am fairly clued up on football and not totally unfashionable and yet I still had no fucking clue, poor old Eccles and the like have no chance.

I would say this thread has done more to publicise Rio's brand than the interview.

Would I wear it to the match? Nope, because football fans, as proven in this thread, are as small-minded as it gets and the hassle wouldn't be worth it.

So if you were guaranteed not to get any hassle for it, you'd happily wear ferdinands hat with ferdinands man united squad number to a City game?

I would yeah if I wore caps (I don't as I am not a chav).<br /><br />-- Wed Sep 04, 2013 5:18 pm --<br /><br />

The picture of ferdinand in the Etihad taxi was taken after their champions celebration party and if anyone believes for a moment they jumped in that cab by chance are totally gullible. Our great PR department turned the tables on him and they deserve credit for that.

I reckon this thread has uncovered a few rags.

For example?

Those who believe a City player promoting ferdinand and his company on the OS is appropriate.

Care to discuss this at a match?

At the end of the day if Micah was promoting ferdinand's clothing or not there are a lot of people on here who now know what the brand "5" represents.
And to rub salt in the wounds rio got his advertising free on the City OS, he is a smart businessman, he could sell sand to the Arabs.....or even 5 caps to Blues.

Only because a thread was started on here about it, can't you see the irony of that!!

Without this thread I and a few others would still be blissfully ignorant about Ferdinand's clothing range and perfectly happy to remain so.
