    Yes because the FA are above a court of law :)

    And not guilty means not guilty. What else is there to it? CPS was unable to prove guilt. Guilt may exist in your eyes but your opinion counts for nothing in the eyes of the law. That's how the law works but I don't expect you to understand that concept.

    Daft point, never said they were above a court of law. They can however act like a civil court and decide on a balance of probabilities. Ask OJ Simpson how you can be not guilty in a criminal court, but "guilty" in a civil court. I don't think a criminal court would have convicted Suarez, but FA have a different role and a different burden of proof.

    No, it isn't.

    I'm not going to argue the point any further with you. I refer you, instead, to the explanations I have previously given, on several occasions.

  7. By the way, why is it that thick people hate it when you tell them they are thick?

    All my life, I've been a smart-arse, and I have never once complained when that fact has been pointed out to me, as it has many hundreds of times.

  9. But that's exactly the kind of thing that a thick person would say.

    Anyway, I thought you were off?

    Come off it, pal. What your wonderful captain said was clear for everybody to see. He escaped merely because, for some unknown reason, nobody seemed to hear the exchange between him and Ferdinand. The vast majority of us, including the magistrate, if you read his comments, are sure of his guilt - I really can't see why else Ferdinand would make such an accusation. We will see if the F.A. who are unconstrained by the same laws, take such a lenient view!

    The summing-up, verbatim.

    If anyone reads that and believes that Terry has been cleared, they're either deluded, a liar, or illiterate.

    Yepp... to sum it up, Terry is guilty, they just can't completely prove it.

    this is not about what is the law and not the law, it is about whether he is found guilty or not (let us remember the amount of guilty people that walk free with the aid of a good QC and their 'mates'). While the chav racist may have not been proven guilty - just about anyone knows he is far from innocent, and I hope the odious excuse for a human being gets banned for a very long-time, and also gets banned for life from pulling on an England shirt

    anyone who has not got jam-jar bottomed glasses can see what was said on video

    Luke mate, if you use those words you are a racist. It may have taken a very expensive lawyer to come up with enough smoke and mirrors to deflect from what, to most of us, seemed a very clear example of the sort of behaviour we have grown to expect from somebody who is clearly a piss poor example of a human being, but Terry said what he said in anger. I know it, you know it, Terry knows it, the Chavs know it (although they will defend the odious scumbag to the hilt.)

    Let's hope the FA enquiry actually punishes him. The burden of proof being far less weighty. If we look at the Suarez case there is far less proof and his punishment was severe. We live in hope that Terry gets at least the same punishment.

    so why not call someone a '****' instead of a 'black ****' or do you know of white people being called 'black ****'?

    why say that if there is no racial connotation?

    its a simple matter made to look stupid due to the over thinking that is going on here..if your child called someone a 'black ****' wether in jest or not would you not at the very least bat an eyelid with regards to the child making a reference to colour?

    the FA have got a chance here to get some much needed respect from football fans by throwing the book at him in order to deter such verbal abuse..even if decorated with a smile and a wink and a jokey pat on the back or whatever!

    yeah going to court etc does seem far fetched considering the harsh realities of the fact that it is unfortunatly a common occurance..however if you are in the limelight then you really must re think your strategy especially when many of your fans could be offended by what you have said(referring to Terry of course).

    Derek Chisora looks to be making a mint out of abusing a fellow professional this evening, for example.

    Somehow that nugget of information hasn't come up in the hype...

    The irony is Luke if you or I said those words in anger we would be banned from the ground for life and rightfully so.
