England's travelling army delivered their own damning verdict on Rio Ferdinand as Roy Hodgson's men recorded their biggest win since 1987. Before they mocked San Marino with taunts of 'are you Scotland in disguise', they abused the man who opted not to play in this mismatch and commentate on it instead. As Jermain Defoe scored twice to head a lengthy list of scorers that also included Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney and substitute Daniel Sturridge, who netted his first international goal, Ferdinand bore the brunt of supporter ire. Should he ever appear for his country again, the 34-year-old can be certain of a hostile welcome, and there is no doubt Roy Hodgson has ended on the positive side of the ledger. Indeed, until Montenegro managed a goal in Chisinau, 11 minutes from the end of their meeting with Moldova, it looked like being one of the best days Hodgson has had since replacing Fabio Capello last May. But Mirko Vucinic's effort means England remain two points behind Montenegro as they set off for Tuesday's World Cup assignment in Podgorica, although with 20 goals from their five games so far, Hodgson's men are unquestionably the most entertaining team in Group H. Providing there was a volume feed in Al Jazeera's Doha base, Ferdinand would have heard what the England fans felt about his absence. Towards the back end of the first half, with victory already assured and the only concerns getting through the game safely and attacking the scoring charts, those supporters who had made the journey to the world's worst footballing nation turned their attentions to Ferdinand. Their songs were numerous. But they all shared the same theme - you've let us down and we would prefer never to see you again.
