John Terry: Racist slur?

FYI....Representing your country in any form is = serving your country.

Come up with something sensible to talk about next time.....

I find it extremely suspicious that QPR brought the charges instead of Ferdinand. Similarly, Ferdinand has only spoken up, albeit with nothing incriminating, since the media and his club have taken up this cause.

This cavemen's club is acting this way, so this affair makes a "scandale" and thus, everybody will forget how they did rob us three points.

The whole story is being fuelled by YouTube users.... namely plastic United fans still smarting from their bad result against City. I know we've had a few bad results over the years, but this 1-6 in the head.

It's really ridiculous how much publicity this story has had in all media seeing as anyone can make the same claim about any EPL player and upload a vague video on youtube. Though I have to say I thought AVB didn't particularly handle the situation too well; JT, if proven guilty, should be punished more severely than any other player because he is Chelsea and England captain and an idol to children everywhere.

I disagree with the members saying that it isn't a big deal even if he did say so. I believe that racial comments should be punished very harshly by the FA including prolonged suspensions because other wise we would be giving fans and the football society as a whole license to accept the messages conveyed in these racial statements as well as advertising tolerance of racial discrimination.

And even then half the reports of what he's said have been deined.....

A message to all the twats jumping on the bandwagon!

John Terry, captain, leader, LEGEND.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Anyone who says our players don't care about fans, needs take no further look than JT to prove that claim wrong.

Is it just a coincidence that Rio, who lost the capitancy to JT, and Anton are brothers?

Trial by camera: Sky hand unseen footage of Terry and Ferdinand clash to FA

FA investigators will examine footage from 20 Sky cameras in a bid to establish if John Terry racially abused Anton Ferdinand.

The FA asked the broadcaster for every camera angle recorded last Sunday at Loftus Road as officials quizzed both players at their training grounds.

Terry was driven out of Chelsea’s Surrey complex in the back of his car after an exhaustive interview with Jennie Kennedy and Adam Sanhie from the FA.

Ferdinand, in his two-hour meeting at Queens Park Rangers’ west London training facility, confirmed he had not had a conversation about racial abuse with any player during the controversial match — something which contradicts Terry’s account of how events unfolded.

Terry has consistently denied making a racist slur towards Ferdinand. The Chelsea defender claims he shouted: ‘Oi, Anton, did you think I called you a black ****?’.

Footage broadcast during Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat caught Terry mouthing the words ‘black ****’. However, the start of Terry’s sentence is obscured by Ashley Cole’s head in the pictures shown live by Sky Sports and later by the BBC on Match of the Day 2.

The FA will analyse other footage in an attempt to piece together the full exchange. Although Sky does not keep every second from every camera shot on a live broadcast, most of it is retained on disc for potential use on other programmes.

Sportsmail has learned that England captain Terry met Chelsea’s barrister Jim Sturman QC and club secretary Dave Barnard on Thursday to establish a battle plan. Ferdinand is due to make his written submission on Monday.

WTF...I don't think he's a nazi but why the fuck would you do that celebration...

Doubt it.

If it turns out that QPR falsely accused Terry of racism, they'll end up neck-high in shit.

Likewise if (and it's a very, very big if) JT was racist, he'll end up neck-high in shit.

If (most likely when) it turns out to be a misunderstanding, both parties will end up with egg on their faces, but otherwise unscathed.

i know i agree with you , if he had done it from or pointing to the crest then yer but he dosent if you get me ?

[LDN Blue 7,903]

It pains me to see how Terry's name is being dragged through the mud at the moment. Even if he's proved innocent, he'll still be branded as the racist in football..

'I didn’t know racism still existed in football until last weekend. I thought we were past all that here. I had no idea it had happened until I left the ground. It was pretty shocking. It’s crazy, I can’t believe it.'

'I don’t need to say anything, it’s all on YouTube, everyone can see what he said. What do you think he said? Look, it’s with the FA now.'

RIO is as stupid as they come. To lip read and accuse someone of racism is idiotic and to point to that youtube video shows his IQ level. He is just Pissed that JT came back and took his arm band away from him.

As for Anton. He is just milking his few minutes of fame...When was the last time you saw that nobody in news?
