Racism at its worse

Separate cases, you cannot decide one person's guilt based on another's verdict. Plus, Terry's case is being handled by the CPS, not the FA.

For what it's worth, I don't think Suarez is actually racist - just that he used a word in the wrong context and is in all likelihood being used to set an example. Plus he admitte saying the word , so there was little choice if the FA weren't going to consider context and cultural background.

Terry also admitted to saying what he was alleged to have said. Its again about context, but at little less complex as Terry (just about) speaks English as his first language and used an English insult.

Terry has just been charged with racism btw

I don't think suarez is a racist, but i do think he is right to be charged because of what he said. Ignorance is no excuse.

Suarez is no way a racist...just said something he shouldnt have and tried to use language as an excuse

Terry said he told him he didn't call him it, so yes he used the words, but according to him he didn't actually use the insult against him.

I have no idea either way and shall await a verdict. Terry could be lying, but I sure as hell am not basing my judgement on what the papers want to have happened.

The verdict has been announced. he is guilty. Goes to court in Febuary just before the chelsea man u game

Your tone has certainly changed. I wonder why that is.

My opinion has never changed. FYI I wrote that before Terry had been formally charged.

He has still not been proven guilty despite being charged, same as any other case. The same as Suarez up until this morning. Unlike some people, I don't know the facts (the proper facts, not subjective opinions and paper talk) so cannot and will not pass a judgement and claim that it is definitive.

I've already said I don't think Suarez is necessarily a racist despite being charged, so don't go thinking this is just because it's Terry.

That's funny as you seemed to be passing judgement on Suarez right up until Terry was charged.

What did I say that gave you that impression?
