John Terry Retires from International Football

[chucky1973]

I see his thinking. Quit footie, when players are away on international duty, wife's are home alone. Clever.

 

[martyn20]

agree, anyone who does this should get at least a little bit of respect:

And this -

Now get rid of Rio, Frank and Wayne, and get some youngsters in

 

[Durlston]

Great timing after the emotional tributes at Anfield. Now he'll be on the back page of every newspaper tomorrow.

element why get rid of rooney and lampard they are good players

 

[martyn20]

Rooney will be the new captain after Stevie and Lampard go, he will be around for another 4 or 6 or 8 years

"I feel The FA, have made my position with the national team untenable."

Clearly written by his Publicity People, I doubt if the Uberchav has ever uttered the word untenable, or has the first idea what it means......

 

[Puppet Master]

Horrible, horrible person but great player and a great loss for England. Sure he's slow but heart and soul goes into every tackle for his country and reads the ball so well. Shame.

He may have his critics of which I am one, but nobody can ever deny that he has been effective and Mr Reliable for England and never let the down on the field. His and his wife's private lives should be just that their private lives and of no concern of football supporters. There have been many rumors about them but as I say that is their private life and shouldn't have any bearing on his football life..

Sadly his private life effected his playing life which means it is the business of the fans. Dipping his wick effected who could be picked for certain teams and that effects the fans

Does this mean that Wayne Bridge will announce he's coming out of International retirement?!

 

[Drebin]

It was the right thing to do for everyone involved.
Hodgson doesn't have to justify picking someone who's about to be charged by the fa for racial abuse.
A large part of englands support who don't like the man get to see the back of him.
And the man himself can play the victim meaning his ego never has to deal with being dropped for football reasons (which was not far off at all).
Personally i think he gave his all for england every game he played, no matter how well or badly he played. Although recently he's become painfully slow and unsuited to top level international football. As for his personal life, i really couldn't give a...

A very good player who hopefully won't be missed football-wise.

But if the rumours surrounding that were true it wouldn't be a problem for supporters.

 

[8ace]

I have a hunch that he'll retire fully at the end of the season now.

Shame if he does, always hoped to see him in the stripes one day.

If Terry's actions meant Bridge could not play with him that effected team selection and that effects the fans

 

[BensGrandad]

The question is who was responsible for that situation? The position of Wayne Bridge was a problem that was overcome with his transfer to Man City the rest was up to him. Obviously we are now reaping the benefit.

Typical North Stand wanker response to one of the servants of our international game.

Well out of the 2 players involved I find it hard to blame Bridge, don't you?

Surely you can't be serious?
