John Terry Racism Trial (1 Viewer)

[City Nut]

do we think he will be found guilty? he is sayin that Ferdinand said something about his affair.

seems like a waste of money / time when the maximum fine is 2,500 anyway. It won't achieve much if he is found guilty.

complete waste of time. the race card is played too often, even if he said it surely all sorts of things get said in the heat of battle that should stay on the pitch

It was a fan in the crowd that made the complaint so it had to go criminal investigation. Not sure on it as yet, be interesting to see both sides of the argument.

Couldn't he just pay the fine and be done with it?

Think he will be found not guilty. Seems only Terry knows what he said, Ferdinand didn't hear it and seems like pretty much everyone else on the pitch didn't hear it either. With part of the dialogue blocked out too from the camera perspective it's going to be very hard to prove you would have thought.

Shouldn't have ever dragged on this long.

Give 2.5k to charity, shake hands and get on with it.

John Terry's trial has been delayed, JT has not arrived as yet and his lawyer's wife is missing too.

If he's found guilty (which I think he will be) then I'd imagine that the FA would then prosecute him afterwards and he'd be sanctioned with a fine and ban similar to that of Suarez.

LOL, very clever, Mr Terry (well, his legal team).

1) Anton never heard the comment. His missus showed him a clip on youtube
2) If 22 players and various officials didn’t hear the comment, how did someone in the crowd?
3) What is Doreen Lawrence doing going to court? What has it got to do with her?

The whole trial is a mockery and i can’t believe taxpayers money is wasted on the whole situation. Ridiculous

Terry found Not Guilty

Wrong IMO! Maybe just because I don't like him! The fine would have been pocket money for him anyway so wouldn't have made any different whether he was found guilty or not

What an utterly stupid statement.

The CPS obviously need someone like you,the whole fiasco has made them as well as the English FA look like horses asses

The FA are set to continue with there own investigation now, looks to have erupted again on twitter with this

Some fans have now accused Rio Ferdinand of using racially insulting language.
Twitter user @MC_CFC1905 reported Ferdinand to the Metropolitan Police's Twitter account, saying: "Can I make a complaint about this Tweet which I find offensive from Rio Ferdinand. Unbelievable from him."

Disgusting thing for Rio to say. I see he later deleted it, but not before somebody captured the pic thankfully. It will be interesting to see what action is taken against Rio.
