JT just been found guilty of racism and has only got a 4 game ban and 220k fine, and he is allowed to appeal. Feel sorry for Suarez at this moment in time.
And who is going to fine the FA for being racist in giving out a harsher punishment to Suarez for no other reason than not being English? There was a reasonable doubt with the Suarez case due to the lack of video evidence. Terry's got off extremely well and yet he spits his dummy out and retires from international football. What a joke. EDIT: Typo corrected
Difference is Suarez is a dirty foreigner who everyone hates and Terry is a stand up geezer - right? It really beggars belief. Terry is such a bell end it's unreal yet LFC were criticised for showing Suarez support when they knew the truth about what happened with Evra. Still at least Terry will have the Ryder Cup to celebrate with whichever team wins over the weekend - he's probably getting his plus 4's on now and heading over to the US! Bell end.
obviously the only evidence the fa had on suarez was evra and a video of a pinch. one terry they had him doing it clearly on camera. The Fa gave suarez 8 matches but a smaller fine as they said purely on evra's word that it was repeated abuse. the size of the fine given to terry is rather interesting which says to me that they are seeking to balance the two cases... why would terry's fine be so much bigger when his suspension is less? IMO terry deserved only 4 matches as he did clearly, unequivicably break the FA's rules...... here's the think peopel like mellor and others forget... John terry was found not guilty by the courts... of a specific CRIMINAL CHARGE. thats fine.. thats due process...... but if we were to go equate for example shelvey's tackle on evans to assault then clealry shevely would be found not guilt yet he gets a ban for violent conduct. In short terry is guilty of breakign the FA's rule, not the crimal statue as they are spearate things. I've no issue with terry getting his ban, nor the length. I find the fine interesting though and think thats a bit ott. I nthe suarez case the FA clealry went too far in thier punishment in that they have not left themselves any room to punish soemone for a second offense with the 8 mathc ban for once incident. this is why in this case its back to the normal and proper 4 matchs for the offense... 8 matches is for a repeat offense......
Travesty. Utter farce. Typical FA, though. Not surprised in the slightest. Who'll be defending their decision, do you think? Mmm....
Sky making a pathetic attempt not to say what hes been found guilty of. On Suarez, "Luis Suarez has been found guilty of racism by an FA panel" On Terry, "John Terry has been found guilty by an FA commission"
I knew it was going to be 4 games have said it in the past. If you go off the charge for Suarez it was 4 games doubled because he said it more then once in there opinion. It was laid out when Suarez was charged that Terry would only get 4 at the most. Its 2 games for abusing a player and an extra 2 for it being racial.
haha cheers whoever sorted my post out i thought for ages that terry would get away with it so i am actually not too p*ssed off he only got a 4 match ban, havnt seen anything yet to explain why he got less than suarez though!?
If Terry had punched Ferd. Or Suarez had punched Evra the prescribed ban would have been 3 matches. Allegedly say some nasty racist words and you get longer... in Suarez's case almost three times as long. Assuming both are guilty of charge, I think everyone will agree Terry's words were worse so he should have received the harsher punishment. That said I think his charge was more balanced considering violent conduct is up to three games off. Suarez's punishment was completely unbalanced. He was being made an example of. Just like Mascherano several seasons back when respect the ref campaign was getting attention. One minor infraction he got a ban... very next week United players caught swarming a ref throwing abuse and not one was charged... reason... they had already made their point with Mash. Had Terry been tried by FA first he would probably have got the 8 match ban and Suarez the 4. As always its just the FA being inconsistent and making points instead of justice.
I don't think you can take the fine amount into consideration, it is only two weeks wages. Maybe that's what they took from Suarez too. However, 4 games is a utter joke. But i expected nothing less from the corrupt, bigoted ****s at the FA.
just wait for the written statements guys then make judgements, if however what most are saying is true then the fa seriously needs to fix up and quick, maybe another governing body should be formed because the fa clearly are bunch of cowboys.
The fa are all corrupt scum and need to be disbanded. Its not bad enough that they have David Gill on the fa board getting charity points for United every season but this ruling on Terry has shown everyone how English players get away with murder in the league. Hopefully karma will get every one of the scumbags.
There is one huge difference in the eyes of the corrupt FA. Terry is a former England captain, and Suarez is a latin American ''Dago''. Seriously chimpanzees would do a better job than these bunch of nitwits. We all saw how they got Rooneys three match suspension reduced to two games, because it suited them to appeal. It didn't do them much good, as they did better without Rooney than they did with Rooney. Rooney did his usual disappearing act in international tournaments.
suarez is on 100k per week + he fot 40k fine... terry is on 150k per week + he got 200k per week.. sorry but it doens't add up. i'll be interested to hear why. Oh and i and skeptical a 115 page written thing will coe out as they only did that to character assasinate suarez and LFC. in this case the fa just want it gone. I think 4 matches is fair.. i think punishing a guy twice ofr one offense is wrong and the FA needed to get back to normal... If terry is ever found guilty again it should be 8 matches. Jus tlike how barton when he gets sent off he gets longer due to his track record, or how balotelli gets longer for being a muppet again... Suarez got 8 matches for the pinch.. the only thing they got on camera.. no other evidence ar evra so they really made thier point... which funnily enough the FA do a lot of but forget that without consistency i nthier approach actually doesn't mean anything. won't be long til someone else is caught doing the same thing... all i'll say is at least suarez and evra shook hands last sunday... terry and ferdinand have had thier cancelled each and every time. thats more silly to me.
I think Terry's punishment is about right. We all knew the Suarez one was Draconian and unjust but when we said anything we were just being whingeing scousers again. I said at the time the FA had set a precedent they couldn't possibly maintain and they'd be made to look even more stupid because of it, but the Suarez verdict was just plain wrong and there's no point in perpetuating a mistake. If they had any morals they'd own up to the mistake but that'd just open up yet another can of worms so the best we can hope for is that others who accused us of playing the victim might just realise we were justified.
There are a few interesting points raised by this 'judgement'. First off - it was no surprise the FA found him guilty - the video evidence was pretty damning, and his court testimony also has him admitting using the words. Besides, given the FA raise the charge, they aren't going to find him not guilty, are they? That'd be like the CPS providing the judge and jury, putting together the case and then delivering a not guilty verdict - just wasn't going to happen. The size of the fine is very interesting - presumably it reflects wages - if true, then Terry is grossly overpaid compared to Suarez...
