Possibly. All I saw was an innocent black man pouring blood from his face caused by a strong majority white crowd praying for blood, and they got it didn't they?

Welcome to the UK, all football crowds are majority white.

All I saw was an innocent Manchester United player being attacked by a rival fan. No one is in a position to claim it was racially motivated.

Since when has 'winning' been a race?

Is it time to ban all fans from watching football live?

I would ban **** threads first.

Plenty of other coins around Rio as well.

I laughed to begin with as I thought he'd hit himself

Can anybody slow that gif down a bit?

Wow.

Yeah, same. Thought he'd poked himself in the eye.

So what, that doesn't automatically make it racially motivated....just a city fan(s) being numpties.

This tbh.

I am suprised he even noticed a coin had hit him as he isn't the sharpest knife!

I can't believe Rio Ferdinand is not white

Ditto. Thought he'd over celebrated and poked himself in the eye. Hopefully City will have CCTV to show who it was and get them banned for a while.

Possibly the worst thread I've read on OcUK this year, and that's pretty impressive!

1st pic = normal black man
2nd pic = left eye closed and you can see something in front of his racially abused eyebrow
3rd pic = something in front of his racially abused nose
4th pic = coin can be seen clearly to the left of the racially abused black man
