John Terry CPS Announcement today

[Steveapps71]

Crown Prosecution Service will today announce whether he is to face charges.
Sky Sports News still show the pixellated coverage of him saying racing words.
I cant see him not being charged! His very expensive lawyer is going to have his work cutout.

I know they're two unrelated incidents, but can you imagine the uproar if the FA don't ban Terry for the same amount of games as they have done with Suarez.

 

[Mendoza]

There was no TV evidence against Suarez, so there is something seriously wrong if Terry gets away with it.

true but i guess they will await the outcome of court case IF cps charge him.
If they charge him though, he will still be "innocent" til the court case, If court case is months & months away, interesting if capello still takes him to Euros.

Unless they find out he actually said "I didn't call you a black ****"

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Come on CPS, make EVERYONES Xmas.

 

[Mellotron]

Hasn't Capello practically said he'll stick with Terry regardless? (Depressingly)

I think IF it goes to court & he is found guilty, the decision will be taken out of capello's hands.
BUT a court case will take months so think he will still take him to Euros

 

[Gritt23]

Surely the FA will still take action against him even if the CPS don't prosecute. There wasn't anywhere near enough evidence against Suarez for a Criminal Prosecution, but that didn't (and nor should it have) stop the FA from taking action.

I think that the fact the incident happened between two Englishmen makes it worse as well. Not conding Suarez in any way, but there is more room for confusion and misunderstanding between a Uruguayan and Frenchman than two Englishmen.

Exactly. While Suarez mitigation that the word he used was not offensive where he comes from, was weak, it was a vaguely valid point. I don't see how JT has any such mitigating circumstance to attempt a rfeduction of teh ban. So, if 8 games is the tariff we are now setting for racial abuse, then that is what JT is facing. he just needs to hope the Suarez ban wasn't based on say 10 games, but reduced to 8 due to the mitigating circumstance relating to "cultural differences". If that was teh case, then JT is getting a longer ban than Suarez.

 

[vegster]

If so, this could be the end for JT, AVB will have to find a January replacement or promote from within and that could mean someone else getting very settled in to JT's shoes.

From the horse's mouth?

 

[KZNSeagull]

If the FA do not ban Terry, perhaps Suarez will sue them for racism?

 

[jackalbion]

if suarez got 8 games with no proven evidence and he pleaded guilty i belive terry must be shitting a brick right now

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I wouldn't wish anything bad to happen to anyone but if JT gets put in the nick for 6 months I would have a quiet chuckle.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Suarez pleaded not guilty.

 

[Brovion]

Surely there's two elements to this? There's the CPS 'law of the land' aspect to be dealt with, i.e. did JT break the law or not, and then there's the football element. In other words whatever the CPS decide he's still got to face the FA hasn't he? (Like Suarez)

 

[Farehamseagull]

I hope he gets what's been coming to him for years (if he is guilty that is), despicable man.
