2ICYMI: The quite ridiculous claims of @rioferdy5.Including getting #nufc spend wrong, claiming #nufc are a yo yo club (they are thanks to Ashley) and just getting everything wrong basically.https://t.co/IRym0SObmT— Mark Douglas (@MsiDouglas) January 12, 2019
Rio Ferdinand. His utter contempt for Newcastle fans is quite astonishing. Aligned with Mike Ashley with his business deals mean us #NUFC fans now need to worship. @btsport – whatever youre paying him, its too much.— Glen (@GlenLegend) January 13, 2019
Utterly embarrassing from Ferdinand. Either incredibly ignorant or wilfully disingenuous pic.twitter.com/MTdV0AGtoP— Nooruddean (@BeardedGenius) January 12, 2019
Rio Ferdinand saying that Mike Ashley spent 50m of his own money to get Newcastle United promoted and he should be thanked. That's categorically not true. The money spent was generated by the club.— Daniel Storey (@danielstorey85) January 12, 2019
Rio Ferdinand has annoyed a lot of Newcastle fans tonight and rightly so too, talk about kissing mike Ashleys backside cause hes got his fashion range in his shops. Disgrace!!— Pete Norman (@PeteNorman2612) January 12, 2019
Doubling down on incorrect comments made due to a joint business interest instead of accepting the truth of what MA legacy has caused the loyal support of Newcastle is what you'd expect from an egotistical clueless clown like Ferdinand— John McIntosh (@JohnMcIntosh19) January 13, 2019
Rio Ferdinand either being a lazy pundit or ignoring the reality for his own purposes. https://t.co/7Z3Rp5UhmA— Jay McKenna (@JayMcKenna87) January 12, 2019
This is so ignorant it's incredible. Ferdinand has always portrayed himself as the 'banterous' man of the people. Well he has destroyed that perception in just a matter on minutespic.twitter.com/8knZkIYGSw— Gully Burrows (@gullyburrows93) January 12, 2019Ferdinand reacted to the criticism he received on Sunday morning, sending out a Tweet directed at the St James’ Park faithful.
@NUFC fans good morning to you all!! Ya clubs turning a profit, no debt, oh & playing in the PL! Terrible!— Rio Ferdinand (@rioferdy5) January 13, 2019

The outcome wasn't really affected by whether it was a "red card" tackle as Jags was sent off (seemingly) for preventing a goal-scoring opportunity by fouling the player. Had it been in a different area of the pitch, or if the player hadn't been right through on goal then Jags would/should have got a yellow for the "foul" if it was indeed a foul.
