Quote by YoungsonAnton doesn't even know if the incident happened at all, because he claims that he didn't know anything about the incident until after the match when his friends sent him texts asking if Terry really did call him a "Black cunt" it was a member of the public who forwarded the complaint of racial abuse to the Police after watching the match.
To be honest I don't buy it and shouting "I never called you a Black cunt" is no way, shape or form racist.
If he didn't hear it then what would prompt Terry to shout "I never called you a black cunt"
From the video I think it's pretty clear what Terry said. Is he a racist? I doubt it but I hope the courts come down on him like a ton of bricks
Quote by RamseesCFCcan anyone seriously see Drama queen Drogba playing alongside someone who regularly calls people a 'black' this and 'black' that without running to any media outlet handy to express his outrage? FFS Drogba runs to the paper if he thinks he's gonna be sub for a match Also, Cashleys reaction should mean either a) he didn't hear it. In which case, he must be stone deaf. b) racial insults are commonplace on a football pitch even now - including white-based slurs hence his non-reaction. Is this the case? Not sure.... c) JT said what he claims.... d) Cole plays alongside someone and is friendly with someone who racially abuses people of his ethnicity and it doesn't bother him. Personally, I find that difficult to believe despite all the dickhead things Cashley has done, I wouldn't imagine him friends with someone like that.
JT clearly a wanker? If wanker is defined as an overpaid big ego'd footballer with low morals, then possibly yes. then again, it would be easier naming footballers who don't fall into that. And you'll have a job finding an England starting 11 without 'previous' of some sorts.
The unfortunate thing is that JT didn't call him a Nigga Cunt as given Rios mates (and thus presumably then Anton) has no problem using the word with regularity to describe themselves so presumably no issue would have ensued.....
I agree and find it hard to believe that other black players who train and play alongside Terry every day would simply let him get away with behaving like that. I do though remember Drogba looked amazed at what Terry said to Ledley King a few years back at WHL.
I think we came to the conclusion way back that the vast majority of footballers are utter cunts. That's what happens when you give working class kids money and fame with the odd exceptions of course.
funny, I was trying to think of footballers in particular who on and off the pitch could be looked up to by your kids (setting aside the whole footballers as role models argument.) Lampard I'd have said but someone may throw up the 9/11 incident so I suppose his record isn't exemplary but he was young and stupid and it seems a one-off which he learnt from. Zola is probably the stand-out from us in recent times in this respect. Then again, to pick up on your point, Lampard was public school educated so probably supports your point on working class/money.
"The nightmares invading the sleep of Bayern fans involve four horsemen of the Champions League Apocalypse riding towards them. As the faces come into focus, they will recognise Frank Lampard, Cole, Petr Cech and Drogba. All were immense..."
i know not the best tackler for kids to look up to, id say paul scholes, cant remember anything off field he got upto over the years. few dodgy tackles on the pitch but thats about it.
Quote by nefchow is anton ferdinand an attention seeking piece of shit?
I said this back in October. I still stand by it.
Anton is a 26 year old man. Surely he could have just came out straight away saying if the incident happened or not? Maybe I am just too narrow minded but surely you can just take comments on the chin and move on but I am aware I am not black and can't really relate to it. But I know if I was a young man making stupid money and someone said something along those lines to me I definitely couldn't give a fuck.
He is probably delighted this media attention is making him noticed cause his footballing talent certainly doesn't get him in the papers.

Paul Scholes is a top shout, seems a genuinely decent bloke. Guys like Clint Dempsey fall into the same category.

This. For most of the comments on here I guess.
explain this mate. Is a racist comment to a black person unique in the context of racial abuse or wider still, in comparison to religious abuse? IF so, why?

Didn't want to step on any toes, mate. And for religious abuse, I haven't seen it around here, where I live. So I might be wrong on that case. But in the end, rascism against black people still crosses my path daily. I think, for a non-black person (for that matter) it's hard to imagine, the abuse some people get in, day in day out. But on the other side, the people I come across are not footballers who aren't very bright.
"This decision in no way infers any suggestion of guilt in relation to the charge made against John Terry. The FA will be not be making any further comment on this matter."
Yes it fucking does. FA are a bunch of utter cunts,
Best thing he could do is retire from International football, fuck em.
Fucking spineless FA,always thought innocent until proven guilty in this country. Don't give a flying fuck about the national side but if i was Terry i'd tell them to fuck off and concentrate on club football.
^^^ Because the old bill got involved. The FA stopped their invetigation so as to not get in the way of the criminal one. The court adjourned it until after the Euro's, not the FA. Lots of cases get adjourned by months, nothing unusual in that.
