Edit Removed pic- Thought it was a slow version of the gif... turns out it was just slow loading. Doh!

looks like a quid, sure it was thrown by a city fan?

It looks like it hit him on the right side of his face but the left side of his face has a cut.

How is this a racist attack? looks like coins being thrown towards opposing players at random. Why do some people (op'r) apparently cream their pants at the slightest chance of playing the racist card? :confused:

It was his first headed clearance of the game too.

So racist.

Citeh fans throw bundles of twenty notes so it probably wasn't.

At least no one has yet claimed Manchester United fans never throw things at players

ah i didnt see the game.

It's interesting coin throwers only come to light when they hit a target, every stadium must be littered with them but unless they hit a player there is no media coverage. Clubs should be clamping down on it before the assault has been made. Ferdinand shouldn't of been celebrating in front of the City fans mind.

Soon no one will be able to bring money into the ground and there will be airport security to get past to get into a game.

Or nets will become regulation in all stadiums.

He was celebrating in front of the United fans. Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story though eh?

So it could have been a racist United fan then.

/yes I know it wasn't really racist but all it takes it nowadays for something to be considered racist is for the victim to be black.
