Well said,as the reaction to JT is OTT and he is innocent as we write.
Diane Abbott was openly racist about white people and she was given an easy ride...........why persecute footballers,when society stinks all over?

Having a man charged of racism representing your country in one of the worlds most prestigious sports tournaments as captain is not a good look.

Totally agree,the mary whitehouse brigade have taken over.
I thought innocent till proven guilty was the law?

The olypmics are coming soon,they just want to look squeaky clean on all fronts.

esteponawhite, you can clearly see what he says in the video replays, it is ridiculous that the trial is after the Euros to be honest. Will he be in the right state of mind to play at all?

I havent seen the video,ok he said it ,get over it,spur of the moment reaction

Esteponawhite- totally agree spur of the moment

Allwight,pity many just want every action to be brought up in court,and then someone must lose their job.
The 'lets blame someone culture' is worrying.

100% agree esteonawhite, it is worrying and quite frankly I am sick of it.

=============================

My thoughts exactly, but I think he will be used to set an example... Long ban me thinks.

When people from overseas are insecure about their own skin colour, then you can see problems go much deeper.

I think John Terry is a dispicable human being.

If he was innocent why not go to trial straight away, he is in it for himself and cost Capello his job.

He even sha**ed his best mates misses, I hope he gets a long ban.

No room for his actions

You may be right Chorleywhite,but I think what people mean,is that paranoia is setting in,when people can be seen to be guilty,before they have been tried.Its lynch mob mentality.

I believe the FA have acted correctly.

Sadly both sides of the argument are an indictment of our society here in England.

I think JT is an odious man, I thought it before this recent event too, and I hope he gets banned, if found guilty in a court of law.

As he is the captain of our country team, until the trial he should not be picked, purely because of the media circus that goes with it.

Just an opinion.

Re 'The Press' rounding on him and their hounding of celebrities, personalities etc, I believe they are trying to take the masses off their own backs! It is a cynical defence mechanism, to take the attention away from themselves.

Eric, agree on both points, and if I had an outburst like he did, and the recipient complained, or even if a 3rd party complained, I would be suspended from work on full pay. Just because JT is a high profile and highly paid footballer, he is treated differently..... that is wrong.

Is this the same John Terry who parked his car in a disabled bay outside a restaurant as reported in a newspaper?
