Either this is friendly banter disguised as a legitimate verbal attack or the upcoming Derby County vs. Cardiff City fixture just received a significant injection of fieriness.
There was already plenty of hostility around the game after Derby forced the clash at Pride Park to be rescheduled due to heavy snowfall last month.
Cardiff supporters tore into the decision, despite the EFL’s insistence that it was the right call, and the game will now take place on April 24.
Ahead of the meeting of the pair of promotion hopefuls, Cardiff captain Sean Morrison was filmed laying into three Rams players.

Morrison began by criticising the skill of Derby defender Richard Keogh, who was recently dropped from the side, before he mocked Jason Shackell, who is out on loan at Millwall, for an insecurity over his manhood.
“Alright Richard, Richie. Just want to say mate, you are a mug,” he said.
“You run and say ‘Give me the ball, give me the ball, I really want the ball’ – then you just dribble as fast as you can for 10 yards and then just cut inside to the other centre-half because you are shit at football.
“‘Oh, I’m a good centre-half, I’m a good player, I’m good at football.’ No you’re not!
“Pearcey is up your arse. Alex Pearce is so far up your arse it is an embarrassment.
“Shackell, as well, he doesn’t show his dick. Little insecure cunt. Little tiny dick, little tiny willy.
“And you are all scared of playing us. See you in a couple of weeks you bell.”
According to the BBC, Cardiff are aware of the video’s existence and will address it at a press conference on Thursday.
