Why are you standing behind Terry?

[Amblève. 4,995]

Like many times said before, innocent until proven.

I don't know if this statement of J. Cole is true, but it sums it up pretty well...

Joe Cole: '' I've played with John Terry many years and he's the best Captain i've ever played with,He's also the perfect Captain for the national team, Chelsea are the english club with the biggest number of Black players in it, So there no ways he's a racist. Just look to his partnership with Ashley,even to his relationship with Didier and all the players, John is a racist? That's the funniest joke i could ever hear."

[Wilson 358]

Who cares what he does in his personal life. He's a great player and has gave everything for Chelsea. Who is anyone to judge him.

100% no matter what the outcome of his case. CAPTAIN LEADER LEGEND

Why are you allowing yourself to be influenced by the media?

[gary gordon 1,777]

All is fair in love and WAR.. We are at war every time we step on the pitch. We have a saying over in the NRL, What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch. Ferdinand is a fucking prick either way. If Terry is found innocent it won't make a difference because hes already been hung out to dry. But what will happen to Ferdinand for making a false report?? My guess would be nothing..

Innocent until proven guilty, thread closed.

It's as simple as that.

I love the club.

I do not love John Terry outside the club. I fully back him within 90 minutes (and extra time, barring some slippery surfaces) however I do not back him outside of the pitch as he is a terrible person, contract rebel, court cases, affairs, everything.. however such is the modern day footballer.

As above, I back him as a club captain and on the field of play, shouldn't bring outside matters into it so lets just deal with the facts about the matters that occurred on it.. however! We do not have the facts so we cannot, as such everyone should just wait until the verdict.. And by everyone thats the FA included.

I don't think telling someone you did not call them a black cunt falls under the category of racism. I also think he's been vilified in the media, and has been unfairly stripped of captaincy. For these reasons I stand behind him.

[capriccioso 2,545]

All this is going to achieve is another tournament with discord within the England camp, a humiliating early exit, with the FA to blame it on the "dirty forriners" in the Premiership.

[teignman 441]

The "evidence" against JT is flimsy. Lip-reading should not be admissable in an FA kangaroo court, let alone a court of law. This whole situation seems to be a case of political correctness run amok. Witch hunts and the like were outlawed some time ago, so contemporary zealots have to get their jollies in this manner.

[capriccioso 2,545]

Evidence isn't really taken into account when racism is involved. I guess you could say racism is the witchcraft of the 21st century.

Capello defends his captain and is immediately savaged by press , radio ,tv and politicians. .The anti white brigade are triumphant.

BLACK is GOOD White is Bad ,,,, THE Pigs win ,,,Animal Farm is here

[capriccioso 2,545]

That sounds a bit VNN, mate.

And the thing is they've taken it out of context! All he's said really is he should've been the one to make the decison and he didnt agree with how it was done..course papers twisted everything to suit them

[neel 257]

He successfully led a team that had quite a few colored people. He led a team that is known for its team spirit. Calling the leader of this team racist ??? I just wanna say a polite fuck you to all those pople who think Terry is a racist.

[ChelseaJosh 45]

As previously mentioned, what JT said wasn't racist. It wasn't the best thing he could have said, but it should be treated as if he said "f*ck off anton".

I'll stand by him because he's being misrepresented by the media as a racist.

In 2009 El Hadji Diouf said "F*ck off white boy" to an Everton ball-boy, and yet he got off pretty much scott free (a fine doesn't really count as punishment). These are double stands shown by the FA and it's bigger news for the media if the England captain has done something wrong than a foreign player.

As for him sleeping with Wayne Bridge's missus. Who the hell cares?! He was Bridge's ex by then anyway and I don't support the club because of the amount of role models that play for them. I support Chelsea because of the great football, fantastic history and passion shown by each player ON THE PITCH.

[Fulham Broadway 17,360]

Because hes one of the greatest players ever to play at SW6.

He's the victim of a media frenzy, brought about by one complainant -yes, one complainant at Loftus road concerning what is essentially playground stuff

Exactly but this never gets published because its not a 'oh my god scandal or must read this stort' its not gana cause debate or anything like that. Its rare they do pubish stories about players behaviour off the pitch where they get praised.Mean look at Balottli,wacky behaviour on pitch but outside of football he has done some good and kinda awww things.But rare do they get mentioned.And most of the time you only read about players lifes when its published in an article.Never know the real them really only whats written which most of the time is negative.

And the thing is if he does get found not guitly this story will quickly be forgotten and no doubt some other shite about him from his past or another player will get brought up.They'll conviently forget the whole witchunt sort of thing they've been doing

And what annoys me is its fine for Daglish to back his players,go so far as to say he shouldnt be banned.Different circumstances maybe but same thing.It was a racist remark end of the day no matter what excuses are made.But anyone backs JT thats it,slated.And its nice that players have come out and defended him..ones you wouldnt expect as well.Neville!I thought he was a complete twat but off the pitch and in the studio..starting to like the guy!

[DH1988 1,352]

Look, that particular article about a youth team player was some years ago so lets not focus on that too much, yes it shows him in another light that the media of today has painted but at the end of the day John is John it is the same reason we do not focus on affairs, players ex-wives, gambling, court cases, accused of being racist to Ledley/Anton - concentrate on what happens in terms of his performances on the field and not much else.. As for standing behind him, no as I said, all I'm concerned with are his performances.
