Did someone post on here he can appeal? Wtf is that about, someone send that package 2nd class stamp please. Engrave the cnuts name as well
Yes SR he has 14 days to appeal. Drogs has taken the morale high ground and has banned all talk about Evra/Suarez/Barton in connection with his beloved JT.
By allowing an appeal the risk is that he will get off Scot free and to even think that an appeal would not be deemed frivolous, why he said those words case closed, just accept the punishment and move on, maybe other footballers will engage their brains before opening their mouths in future.
Guardian.co.uk - John Terry will find the stigma of racism sticks like a tick to a dog http://m.guardian.co.uk/ms/p/gnm/op...cism-fa-ban&cat=football#.UGVW19TYYhI.twitter
John Terry and his team of crack lawyers are still trying to dish out the "police found me innocent" bollocks. Unfortunately, it's working. And, obviously, every Chelsea fan is buying it. The police didn't have enough evidence to show that John Terry had abused Anton Ferdinand with racial language. But the FA have found enough evidence to show that he used the racial language, whether or not it was aimed at abusing Anton. Therefore, he has been banned and fined. BUT obviously the idea that he went up to Anton and said "I didn't call you a ******* b***k c***" is ridiculous. Who would say that? Even if he did, it's almost abusive and intimidating to go up to someone and say even that! Especially seeing as Anton says he didn't even know about the situation at the time, so it would have been out of the blue.
Irish Times ""- Last Updated: Friday, September 28, 2012, 10:46Terry ban lenient, believes Ferguson Anton Ferdinand of Queens Park Rangers walks past John Terry of Chelsea without shaking his hand before the start of the Premier League match at Loftus Road in London. Photograph: Andrew Winning/Reuters.Soccer: Alex Ferguson thinks John Terry might consider himself to have got off lightly after being hit with a four-match ban by the English FA yesterday. Terry will decide his next move once he receives the written findings from the four-day independent regulatory commission hearing, after being found guilty of using racist language at Loftus Road in October. But Ferguson, who saw Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez end their own feud at Anfield on Sunday, feels Terry should think carefully before prolonging the matter. “There is a danger of it resurrecting itself because it has been going on so long,” said the Manchester United manager. “But the fact he got a four-game ban, he may consider that is quite lenient considering Luis Suarez got eight. It is time to move on and so should the game.” In advance of the hearing, Terry confirmed he was quitting the England squad because he felt his position was “untenable”. That has raised the spectre of Rio Ferdinand being recalled to bolster Roy Hodgson’s central defensive options. As one of only two centre-halves currently fit at United, Ferguson would be fearful of Ferdinand getting injured on international duty. And whilst he has not spoken to Ferdinand about the situation, he does not view an England recall as likely. “I wouldn’t think he will get called up,” said Ferguson. “Roy Hodgson made his decision before the European Championships and I can’t see him changing that. It would be difficult for him now to go back to Rio Ferdinand and welcome him back.” ""
Agree. And the magistrate said so at trial. To paraphrase, the magistrate was almost certain that Terry had deliberately racially abused Anton, but because he was 99% sure and not 100%, he had to acquit Terry. The FA only have to show that Terry probably did, ie 51% sure or over. Listening to that idiot Steve Claridge defending Terry on the radio this a.m. was painful.
Anybody defending him doesn't understand the process and the FA stance, which is for once, spot on. They want to stop all use of racist language on football pitches. The intent behind use of racist language is completely irrelevant ( which is the difference between their process and the magistrates court, where the judge said, explicitly, that it could not be proved beyond reasonable doubt that Terry was using racist terms abusively). In fact, if the FA were to allow an 'intent' defense they would never be able to ban anyone for racist or other abuse again, as it will always end up as one players word against another, and the line 'but I meant it like xxx, not as an insult' would never be provable one way or the other. Punishment fine, if he appeals he is very badly advised.
They should have a 5 game ban for language and double or triple that for intent. Thats why I think terry should have got a much longer ban that Suarez because he used a racial insult. Suarez was just ignorant.
All over the papers that JT will appeal the FA ban. I doubt he has the sense to wipe his own arse let alone know how to go about mounting an appeal. You can bet your last quid that if it goes ahead the challenge will be under the advice of his lawyers who will be set to make hundreds of thousands by keeping this farcical merry-go-racist freak show running. I nicked this from a post on the General Chat forum - John Terry's a racist, He wear's a Nazi's hat, His dad will sell you charlie, His mum will rob your flat! Sums it up nicely I think!
Too bad our Joey didn't try this move on JT - how many games banned would this have got? Zinedine Zidane headbutt statue unveiled in French capital please log in to view this image
Only a 3 game ban for Zidane, Materazzi even got 2 game ban, so perhaps Anton is lucky he didn't get a ban for baiting JT and winding him up? Materazzi breaks Zidane silence. Zinedine Zidane headbutts Marco Materazzi to the ground. please log in to view this image Marco Materazzi has finally explained what he said to Zinedine Zidane before he was headbutted by the Frenchman during Italy's World Cup final victory. Zidane was sent off for the attack and later claimed he was provoked after Materazzi had insulted his mother. But Materazzi told Gazzetta dello Sport that Zidane's sister was the subject. He said: "I was tugging his shirt, he said to me 'if you want my shirt so much I'll give it to you afterwards,' I answered that I'd prefer his sister." Materazzi added: "It's not a particularly nice thing to say, I recognise that. But loads of players say worse things. "I didn't even know he had a sister before all this happened." Materazzi was later handed a two-match ban from world governing body Fifa, while Zidane was banned for three games and fined £3,260. Zidane, who has since retired from football, has never specified what Materazzi said to him and has refused to apologise to his opponent. Asked on 12 July exactly Materazzi had said, Zidane would only offer that it was "very personal" and concerned his mother and his sister. "You hear those things once and you try to walk away," added Zidane. "That's what I wanted to do because I am retiring. You hear it a second time and then a third time..."
Hopefully, after the appeal, the idiots (the FA) will extend his ban for appealing without due cause. I would like to bring back public hanging, Terry is obviously a much bigger rogue than ***in.
