John Terry

"John Terry's Football Association hearing over his part in an incident last season with QPR defender Anton Ferdinand has started at Wembley."


"The Chelsea captain, who denies the charge, announced his England retirement on the eve of the hearing."

Good riddance - been calling for him to be dropped for ages and not only because he is a **** of a human being.

Is too slow of mind and body and so needs players around him to compensate for his many weaknesses - maybe now we'll see the best of Ashley Cole.

 

Glad he took a stand and retired tbh, this has already been through a court of law but the FA think they are better than that.

 

I agree, unless the FA is above the British legal system I don't see the point in this hearing. If Terry is completely innocent then Anton Ferdinand should be charged by the FA (and legally for wasting police time) but it obviously isn't as simple as that, and I can understand if he wants to show up the incompetence of the FA. However, I doubt this is the case and is just John Terry taking an affront to his ego.
He should convince Lampard and Rooney (I'm not a fan when it comes to England) to go with him, probably Cole too. The only player I rate of that 'old guard' anymore for England is Stevie G.

 

Ithink it's more to do with the fact that Anton Ferdinand made his original complaint to the FA who are then obliged to hold an enquiry and have a hearing. This was then overtaken by criminql law proceedings. The FA hearing could not have taken place first in case it 'prejudiced' a criminal case - thereby undermining the legal process (JT might still have got off a custodial sentence on such a techniicality had he been found guilty by the court).

The two things are quite different in that in criminal law the onus is on the prosecution to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that Terry's comments were racially motivated. The FA on the other hand could interpret his comments as merely having racial overtones which is unacceptable under their code of conduct etc.

if any of you require legal assistance ..................................... **** off and find a professional you tight *******.

 

If this was the other way around we´d be hearing nothing about it because the FA & the justice system would be to **** scared.

I thought it was `sowing the seeds of love`??? but still.

 

What? ... you mean if Anton had racially abused JT? .... something like "Oi JT, your mother was an Eskimo and your father was a Bog Brush" ... see what you mean now... the justice system has no legal precedent for racist inanimate object abuse eh?

 

.. irony not a strong point? ... note to self ...
