Anton Ferdinand has reacted to the FA's guilty verdict against John Terry by tweeting: "Footage don't lie."

An FA panel found Chelsea captain Terry guilty of racially abusing QPR's Ferdinand during a televised match at Loftus Road in October.

Terry, 31, was banned for four games and fined £220,000. He had denied the charge against him and may appeal against the verdict.

In July, a court found him not guilty of racially abusing Ferdinand. The prosecution had been unable to prove that he had called Ferdinand a "f****** black c***'' as an insult. He claimed to have been repeating words he thought Ferdinand had accused him of saying.

On Friday, Ferdinand used Twitter to respond to abuse he claimed to have received since the verdict against Terry.

He wrote: "On a serious note, people need 2 read the facts before they send stupid tweets 2 me with liar and grass in it. Footage don't lie."
