Bullsh!t, utter utter bullsh!t. Now the FA can sit back and do exactly that now.

Where I come from, there would have been riots until Terry gets hanged.

Can't wait to see what the FA do now.

Suarez: "I didn't mean it like that"- 8 game ban despite no evidence whatsoever

Terry: "I didn't mean it like that- nothing, despite significantly more evidence

:laugh:

There wasn't sufficient evidence in this case or the Suarez case. (although slightly more against Terry)

The only difference is that Suarez had immediate action taken against him, had his name destroyed, got a hefty fine and a huge ban.

The difference is the FA went with probability for Suarez.

They should now charge him with the same offence as Suarez because he admitted using racist language on the pitch

Interesting to see how the FA now handle this ,because even Lineker is demanding they step in .... We need public figures to show their disgust

"John Terry found not guilty. Wonder if the FA will take any action given similarities to Suarez affair".

"all this time spent kick racism out of football and respect campaign has just been blown out of the water at the court what a joke he admitted he said it how much more do you want if he was standing on a terraces he wouldn't have got away with it"

This was a predictable outcome surely.

It's disgusting though. The FA need to grow some balls and step in here, but I predict they won't. The media will do their best to sweep it under the carpet too.

Absolute and complete double standards.

"The FA can still bring charges even though Terry was found not guilty in court. Liverpool's Luis Suárez was banned by the FA last season for racially abusing Patrice Evra but that case never went to court.

An FA spokesman said: "The FA notes the decision in the John Terry case and will now seek to conclude its own enquiries. The FA will make no further comment at this time."

Editor of the Chelsea Fanzine CFC UK, David Johnstone
"A fantastic result for John Terry, Chelsea Football Club and the supporters. But what a waste of time, what a waste of taxpayers' money, the case should never have been brought.

"What goes on in the dressing room should stay in the dressing room, what goes on on the pitch stays on the pitch."

The burden of proof is far lower in a civil court, and the magistrate decision today cannot be used as a precident for this case.

lets see the independent panel of numpties conclude their investigation and draw up their 120+page report and then ban him for 8 games and a hefty fine.
if they let him off then i hope someone from our club starts asking questions.
everyone knows that if luis case had of gone by way of courts it would have been thrown out.

BREAKING NEWS: Turns out the John Terry verdict is not in. He just jumped into someone else's verdict and started celebrating.

by **Boxscarf** » Sun Jul 15, 2012 12:53 pm

I like the way Rio Ferdinand can make a racial insulting comment on Twitter about Ashley Cole being a choc ice and nothing is done about it. It seems racism is only racism when a non-black person is doing it and when a black person is being racist, it's just "friendly banter".
