    Shame Terry couldn't keep his big fat racist mouth shut, that way this would never have started....

    a) he was probably on the Championship board;

    b) it is illegal to make racially offensive remarks - it is NOT illegal to swear. There's the distinction. And that's why this couldn't simply be brushed under the carpet.

    But you and I have been there before, Swords, and you're no more right now about this than you were then, I'm afraid.

    It is illegal to swear and cause offence in public. If both were calling each other effing c's, you'd get warned or arrested if you continued.

    Maybe the CPS should look at Ferdinand's admittance of using offensive langauge?

    Terry has somewhat shot himself in the foot by uttering the words in the first place, even if it stacks up that he was asking Ferdinand if that's what he thought he said. But, it's easy to say now he should have turned his back and walked away.

    If he is a true racist, no one woudl play with him for Chelsea or England and as someone has also said, his 'hatred' would have shone through by now based on the number of years he has been in the game.

    This is clearly a subject close to your heart Willy. I don't want to fall out with you again so we'd best leave it at that mate. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    The football fan in me want's to see Terry get done because he is an obnoxious git and plays for the scum. But as a regular citizen I find it very disturbing that calling someone an F'ing C is OK but add the non swear word 'black' and you are in court. Something stinks about that.

    The difference is, by adding the colour of their skin, you are racially abusing them.

    Title sums it up perfectly. It is a circus, with a couple of clowns but no laughter.

    Sooner it's all wrapped up the better.

    Again I ask the question: Where were all you people when I was being slaughtered on this topic for the past 8 months?

    Has there been some sort of collective epiphany or sumfink?

    Lip reader proves terry is lying

    Lip reader (Terry): F**k off (obstruction) **** off pause eh yeah I **** (obstruction) you f***ing black c** pause you f***ing knobhead

    terry says he said "I didnt call you *a* f***ing knobhead" There is no "a" hence its a racial insult, hes guilty no matter what the result of the trial.

    Just read some of the tweets from beebs dan roan, have to say feel sorry for the lip reading expert at having to say out loud some of the bile that was said.

    I would suggest you were slaughtered for your views on this subject Swords as your views on the subject were out and out wrong. I honestly don't think the vast majority of people who have different opinions to your good self on this matter are wrong.

    Certainly Finglas. You may well be spot on there. But I was just wondering why have others only just come out in agreement with me, when for months they were silent?

    Ferdinand does his gesture 'for shagging' in court, at request of crown

    Sam Wallace ‏@SamWallaceIndy
    Crown: 'Geez is short for geezer, right?'

    Sounds more like a comedy sketch than a trial.
