John Terry not guilty

[Jeff]

But I think he's a ******* white ****.

 

[FryattFox]

Seems like a nice chap, so must be the correct decision.

 

[RHYDAL]

Couldn't fail with Cashley as a character witness.

 

[fox58]

will he get the England captaincy back now

 

[Siouxsie]

So he admits to saying it but gets off in a court whereas Suarez gets an 8 match ban from the FA despite neither being a racist?

The FA haven't dealt with Terry yet. I think they'll vote for him to play in the Scottish third division.

Course he is - model professional. Should get to light the Olympic flame; knighted and role model for young offenders.

Well what excellent use of taxpayers money that turned out to be. Not saying either party was in the right or wrong but it was stupid that the whole thing ended up in court anyway.

You think people should be allowed to go around saying whatever they want with no punishment?

 

[M17TT C]

Well I am a racist, homophobe so, yes.

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

OJ, Gerrard, Terry .... I'm seeing a pattern here.

So why shouldn't it go to court?

 

[fox58]

if he's found guilty by the F.A. the punishment will be far greater than any that would have been handed out by the court. he could be looking at a lenghty ban and a fine, which i think the maximum is, of two week wages

 

[Lako42]

So why shouldn't it go to court?

Because he has gone around saying what he wants, it's gone to court and nothing has been done about it.

Money well spent.

I think two weeks is the maximum a club can fine. FA can do more I believe.

I can't see the FA having the balls to say he's guilty when the court says he isn't though?

Disappointed, but not surprised, he's got away with it. The judge seemed to say that the defence had cast just enough doubt that he couldn't be found guilty. He said that nobody could prove Terry was lying. I hoped they'd give a guilty verdict to send a bit of a message.... instead I think it sends a very wrong message.


There goes Rio's England career...

So everyone should just do what they want?

 

[The Major]

Pathetic. A 5 day court case for a bit of name calling. What a stupid waste of money.

 

[Lako42]

The ruling certainly sends out that message to those that are that way inclined.

It doesn't mean that it shouldn't have gone to court though.
