The FA have charged John Terry

It's not the FA I'm having a pop at right now, it's people like you who are labeling someone a racist without any of the resources/evidence the courts had.

 

HIAG, your link says

"During the trial, Mr Terry did not deny using the words, but his case was that they had not been used as an insult or abuse. His case was that he thought he was being accused by Mr Ferdinand of uttering a racist phrase - and that he repeated the same words back to the QPR player as part of his denial that he had used them in the first place. "

You have reworded that very differently.

 

You obviously condemn this then.

And you REALLY don't like it when you've been found out do you? Now, once more - Why did you state that JT should get a LONGER ban than Suarez?

 

Terry did NOT admit calling AF a black ****. He admitted that he was asking did AF think he had said the words ..Massive difference!!

 

His racism was rewarded with a special new ambassadorial role at 5purs: Chief paki-basher

 

Edit-Drogs already posted ....just read his !!

 

this is getting ridiculous Drogs. These muppets are going round in circles trying to defend the utter bollocks they've printed, and when you ask for an explanation they swerve it & make up some other ****!

 

Yes, I do. Moreover, I have not yet met one Spurs fan who thinks that how Ledley behaved that night is something he should be proud of.

Yet, still, his behaviour occurred off the field of play, not on it.

Have you never got drunk and done things outside of your work that you would rather your bosses not learned about, and which you later regretted?

 

WTF are the FA going to do max two match ban for swearing

Bring it on

 

**** yes!!, But I'm curious, are we now saying that it's OK to behave like a ****, just not on the football field?

 

Equal to or larger than, for goodness sake.

Many people (not necessarily myself) would say that there is a stronger case with Terry than Suarez, because with Terry there is at least partial video evidence. The Suarez case was judged on probability.

I'm tired of having to constantly go back to this. Please, read the entire thread, and if you make a valid statement based on the conclusions reached by others within the thread, then we can talk. If your only interest is to point-score and insult rival fans, I feel both pity and indifference toward you, if such a mix is possible.

Also, why do you capitalise words so frequently? It's neither aesthetically pleasing or beneficial to your comments - but it is rather irritating.

 

You have the choice to either engage or ignore ........But you opt to condescend.

 

If you say something as controversial as terry deserves as big a ban as suares then people are going to come back to it time and time again - and rightly so. if you don't want your comments to be put under scrutiny then you shouldnlt make them. The fact is that Terry's case is totally different. Ferdinand has never accused him of saying anything and whilst he admitted using the words he said he was denying calling him a FBC. That is not the amsame as a black player accuisng another of calling him a racist term in Spanish.

But let's keep to the agenda here - Liverpool player gets banned so anyone else who gets charged whether or not they're guilty deserves the same. Nothing more and nothing less and you're not even being subtle about it.

 

Yes, equal or LARGER than, so comment on the LARGER bit and not the equal bit seeing as you were the one who printed it!
PS, I only capitalise the LARGER bit cos you don't seem to grasp the bit about LARGER, which in fact you stated!

 

I did comment on it; it's in the very comment that you highlighted.

Perhaps larger type is all you can read.

I don't think it's controversial to say that, a huge part of law is precedent. The FA will surely work on the basis or with it in mind.

It's one thing to scrutinise comments, but that one was made in a way of an introductory statement - a headline so to speak (I started a thread that was then merged into this one).

I would invite you to read the entire thread if you have not done so, in which you will see I have an objective and reasonable view of the Terry case, which the more... respected members of your board agreed with.

On the section in bold; absolutely not, that's a lazy and sweeping accusation.

 

Don't think you did, you merely swerved it again! Why are you here BTW and why are you comparing JT to Suarez when Suarez is nothing but a cheating scummy piece of crap who disgraces the game with his repeated racist remarks, biting, diving & general ****iness? Wouldn't you be better off on the bin-dipping forum where you can have a love fest with the other pillocks?

 

Didn't say he was an angel. He is the epitome of the modern footballer - skilful but will do everything he can for an advantage for his team. The biting thing was bizarre, can't justify it. The diving isn't so much the issue, it's the theatrical rolling after actual tackles that he's worst for.

Also, you realise the FA never charged him for being a racist? Clarify what you mean by 'racist remarks' - remarks that could be seen in a racial context, or the remarks of a racist. There is a huge difference, and Suarez was found guilty of the former, not the latter.

Anyway, I'll just quote what I said then, as again you have ignored it, willingly or otherwise.

EDIT: I'd also like to note that in your last post, you've managed to ask aggressively why I'm on the forum without any provocation, spoken hyperbolically about a person you don't know (Suarez), swore crudely, used a stereotypical insult (bin-dipping) and inferred that I'm a 'pillock' who should be involved in a supposed 'love fest' on my own board (of which there is none, we fully acknowledge Suarez has faults).

Why do you feel the need to act in this manner? You wouldn't act like it in 'real life'.

 

I'm saying a number of things.

Firstly, in my view, it can never be acceptable for anyone to act in their work place the way that Terry act.

Secondly, it can never be acceptable for the club captain to act in that fashion.

Thirdly, it can never be acceptable to act in that fashion during a televised game.

Fourthly, it ought not to be acceptable that players abuse other players in the way that Terry abused Ferdinand.

Fifthly, if the game does not punish Terry, it will be sending out completely the wrong message.

Sixthly, it is right, in my view, for reasonable-minded fans to demands that behaviour, of the type demonstrated by the Chelsea (and one-time England) captain is stamped out of the game.

There may be other things that I'm saying, but I cannot be arsed thinking about them at this time of night.

 

chief Paki basher?

is that an official title Ledley has been given or did you just make that insult up towards asians of a Pakistani origin?


good thread apart from you and CPofLs words of wisdom.
