John Terry retires from England duty

FA rule 6.8: which states that the results of relevant civil or criminal proceedings are 'presumed to be correct and the facts presumed to be true' by FA regulatory commissions.

Brave move by John. A kick in FA arse! They are truly a disgrase to England sports.

He was, is, and will be The True Captain of England.

HAIL THE LEGEND.

I feel bad for him as I am sure he is gutted because he loved playing for England. But I have to say this is long overdue; the FA has been treating him disrespectfully and vengefully for years now, and the fact that he has put up with them till now just to be able to represent his country only increases my admiration for the legend.

I have no doubt it is a blow for England since he is consistently one of their best players each tournament and was by far the best during the last Euros. However It's a great decision for Chelsea that will hopefully prolong his career here.

I'm just afraid that this decision means that John is aware of a prior-made decision by the FA to hand him a local ban.

Maybe Rio can get a game now.

I think Lampad and Ashley should call off the nationals too. that would fuck FA up nicely.

Good on him. Rival fans always treat him like shit even after all he does for the national team. He made some great off the line clearances did you ever see that twat Rio doing an overhead bicycle kick to help keep us in the 2006 world cup? Thought not. The media will love this but if Ferdinand or Rooney retired from international football the media would tell us we will never qualify for a world cup again. Good on you jt.

Edit: can't say I feel for the national team either. It's great watching the 'golden generation' fail continually yet it is always Terry lampard and Coles fault. Rooney will forever be blameless.

For John Terry, dying in the pitch would be glory. You would need to kill him and maybe even then, he would still play - Scolari

John Terry is the captain of all team captains, he was born with the captain's armband on his arm. - Carlo Ancelotti.

[Rambo 1,729]

Good news for Chelsea fans, next up Lampard and Ashley.

I can't wait to see the FA come crawling on its four and begging JT to reconsider his decision.

[warnie_666 1,081]

Only way Rio Ferdinand could have got into the England side. He must be happy and must be thanking his stars

[warnie_666 1,081]

Indeed, JT loved playing for England and was ready to almost die for the national team. Good decision though, fuck FA.

Good luck in finding such another fighter.

He would put his head where other players would fear to put their feet. Call him crazy but guys like these are few and in a battle its guys like these that people tend to hide behind or look up to.
