The FA is reportedly going to strip Terry of the England armband, are they in contempt of court in your view?

If they were to suspend his captaincy until the court ruled on his case, they would simply be doing what many other businesses/organisations do. There could be no question of contempt.

I know, that is my point.

It's the first time I've been told that a gathering of lawyers is a court, I have spent lots of time in court over the last few years without knowing it.

Well, I think it begins with a c, but my memory can't quite dredge up the word I'm looking for.:icon_bigg

I think the collective noun beginning with "c" is "a cost of lawyers" - I cannot think of another one.

John Terry stripped of England captaincy

He shouldn't even be in the team, let alone be the captain - purely on footballing reasons, rather than any of this cobblers


Interesting that, for the second tournament in a row, the whole England preparation is going to be completely disrupted and dominated by this vile, obnoxious wanker

Dunno, too busy laughing at England self destructing just before a major tourney, again.

There is a difference between suspension from playing and the England captaincy.....one is his contractual and employment right, the other an honour and a privilege. I believe removing the privilege says more about his state of mind than his guilt.

If they were to suspend his captaincy until the court ruled on his case, they would simply be doing what many other businesses/organisations do. There could be no question of contempt.

However, when it happens in other businesses, it doesn't make the front/back page of every newspaper in the country, every news bulletin, news website and football forum.

On reflection, if this had been trial by jury, then there may be a case that he could not have got a fair trial. But, as it's a magistrate court, I doubt that applies.
