It will be interesting to see how the FA react to this.
Joey Barton has voiced his disapproval at the punishment handed down to Rio Ferdinand by the FA for using the word 'sket' in a hashtag. The QPR defender will miss three games and has been fined £25,000, and his team-mate Barton doesn't think that's fair at all.
Surely a person has the right to be offensive? Especially if someone offends you? Shambolic that @rioferdy5 misses 3 games and loses £25k

Rio then tweeted his agreement with Barton, and when Rio won't use a hashtag, you know it's serious.
@rioferdy5 It's an absolute disgrace. They have set a dangerous precedent now. Looking forward to seeing them police this? #muppets

Surely referring to the FA as "muppets" wasn't the smartest move, but as everyone knows, Joey Barton doesn't bite his tongue when it comes to twitter.
