King's behaviour was out of order regardless of what actually happened, but the bouncer was paid for interviews, so he has a clear motive to make his story more interesting. A pissed up player just isn't a story, on it's own. Perhaps Cole didn't hear what Terry said and accepts his explanation of it? Ferdinand didn't hear him, so it's possible that Cole's in the same boat and just trusting his friend and teammate.
Ensil I'm trying to have a genuine discussion here, get involved if you wish but please don't continue to be the patronising bastard you normally are. Incase you hadn't noticed, on a normal QWERTY keyboard, the S key is next to the D key. It is quite easy to make a typo so I'm very sorry about that. Yes you could say that, but it's EXTREMELY rare you will find a coloured person who isn't offended by racism. Maybe it is futile yes, but I don't google the Terry saga every day to get nuggets of info I could pass off with. If it's not plastered on every paper or on BBC Sport that Terry has been charged with Racist slurs then I'm only interested in how he performs on pitch for the time being.
Maybe so, I'm just explaining the logic. Doesn't make me right or you right. Cole was vitrually next to him when he had said what he said so it's hard to believe he couldn't hear it.
He's further away than that and he's not paying attention to Terry. He's looking away from him, towards Ferdinand.
Terry hasn't denied saying it though, he's just claimed a justifiable context for what he's said. Cole would've had to have been able to hear the whole thing and understand what was going on. I think he'd have been more animated if he was aware of what Terry says was happening.
Oh come on, its a bloody football match full of noise, not a quiet room (The Emirates!), Cole was some distance and concentrating on something else in another direction initially. It was unlikely JT yelled at the top of his voice, unless he has Tourettes!, it was at AF, so its more than possible, most likely even Cole didn't hear it. Players are constantly talking around you on the pitch, its ridiculous to suggest one person can hear many conversations around him at the same time. Its the 3rd time JT has been accused and Rio says there's a racist amongst the England squad...how much smoke do we want to see before we admit a fire? I'm not saying Terry's a racist, but he likes using racial remarks clearly. 'Blind'...'Black'. ...absolutely pathetic.
