John Terry Racism Trial

robfosters · 9 Jul 2012 at 13:50

5 days! I have never heard of anything so ridiculous in all my life.

This should have been sorted out by the FA, not a court of law for Christ's sake. far more important things for our justice system to be getting on with.

As soon as a member of public made a complaint to the Police it was taken out of the FA's hands.

No, what should have happened was Terry being suspended by club and country until the trial was over, which should not have been pushed back.

Why, oh why, did football take priority over a court case / legal case.

It was out of the FA's hands as soon as a member of the public made a complaint too.

Even if he is fined a whole 2500, Chelsea won't do anything. Really don't see the point in this waste of time and money!

More fool Chelsea. I live in hope they sack him over this, but they won't.

'IF' he is found guilty it's not just a small fine, it's the reputation of being found guilty in a court of law having used racist langauge (being a racist) that's damage that will harm him, I live in hope that the FA too throw the book at him. (using the Suarez case for reference)

^One can only hope. I have a feeling though, that JT couldn't give two ****s about reputation judging by his past.

You'd think shagging Wayne Bridges Mrs' might have damaged his reputation but was soon forgotton.

It's not quite on the same level as being found guilty in a court of law of being a racist though?

Never really got the hate he received for nailing Bridges ex. Rooney nailed a whore while his wife was up the Damien but he didn't receive anywhere near the level of **** that Terry did

This is definitely a few levels up from cheating on someone though!

Loosing your temper and saying something you shouldn't have in the spur of the moment can happen, what he did with Wayne Bridges Mrs' was obviously calculated.

I've lost my temper before but I don't make offensive racist remarks to people when I do.

I couldn't care if he did make a racist comment tbh. It's like most things, you say what will hurt the most to get the best reaction.

Bit of a weird way to look at it :/

Indeed.

'I'm going to be a racist because that's really offensive'

Totally agree. surely the point of having a heated verbal row with someone is to say the most hurtful thing to them to gain a reaction.

Saying a racist comment doesn't make him racist. Makes him human with a temper perhaps?

What?! :/

I can't believe some of you guys condoning it! :eek:

Doesn't matter if it was a argument or not. When you're racist, that makes you a racist.

If someone kills someone in anger, people don't just brush it off as just a heated argument. If you're a murderer, you're a murderer

Does raping someone make you a rapist?

TBH, Members on here condoning racism isn't really a surprise anymore

Anton supposedly was offensive to John Terry, bringing up something that he knew would get to JT. John Terry did just the same back. Anton is black and may well be a **** (don't know him to judge). If someone called me white boy would i pull the racism card? No.

JT's judgement was poor, what he said did not make him a racist.
