Terry not guilty

[Weststander]

Can't stand JT and was hoping he was going to be found guilty.

But as the case proceeded, it was apparent that Ferdinand had slagged off JT throughout the game about his personal life (not light hearted banter, but with hate between them) ... then the insults allegedly thrown back in their war of words, gave the impression that this whole affair was not just a cse of a racist bully picking on little old innocent Ferdinand.

Perhaps they have BOTH been revealed to be not very nice characters.

When I was young the word Negro was adjudged wrong-we should say Black we were told. So how can Black suddenly be racist ?

The word black isn't racist, but calling someone a 'black c***' obviously is. Surely that's not hard to understand? Presumably Terry was found not guilty because it wasn't proven he used those words in a deliberately offensive way.

Bad loser.

Time for this joke courtesy of Peter Cook,




There are two guys talking. The first one says:
“You know, the day I met you, I thought you were a c unt and every time we’ve met since I thought you were a c unt and it can’t just be me, because everyone who’s ever met you thinks you are a c unt and probably everyone who will ever meet you will think you’re a c unt. In fact, you’ve got to be the second-biggest c unt in the world.”
The second guy thinks about this for a while.
“So... the day you met me you thought I was a c unt
“Yep.”
“And every day since you’ve thought I was a c unt
“Right.”
“And everyone I’ve ever met thinks I’m a c unt
“You got it.”
“And everyone I will ever meet will think I’m a c unt
“Uh-huh.”
“So how comes”, he says, triumphantly, “I’m only the second biggest c unt in the world?”
“The first guy looks at him with total contempt. "Because you’re a c unt, he says.

Black is not racist at all. Calling someone a 'black c*nt' is, as not only are you insulting them on a personal level by calling them a c*nt, you are also insulting their race.

so are fat c**T
Small c**t
Tall c**T

They are all personal insults IMO, people should just get on with it or fight to the death.

I don't get it words really can not hurt you IMO.

The reasoning:

(when it comes back on line anyway) All about beyond reasonable doubt, was always going to very very difficult to prove

Great reading anyway

 

[Gary Gurr]

Nice bit of case law though

If you ever get accused of similar, just argue you were repeating what you *think* the other party said...

Not guilty on a 'John Terry'

Now known as the 'John Terry' defence!

Agree that it was a complete waste of taxpayers money!

 

[JCL666]

Anton Ferdinand is a bellend

John Terry is a bellend

Pretty much sums up what I think of this.

Words can live on forever, and have more impact that any action ever could.

Words can't hurt you is a saying for 11 year olds in a playground.

Words can only live on forever if you let them, that's the problem with today youth they have unfortunately had it far to easy.(not there fault)

Most stuff used to be sorted out and left in the playground too in my day.

Cole was right !!

[Gullzone]

I hold no brief for Terry but it was the right decision. If he'd just walked up to a black guy in the street and screamed it in his face without any provocation, then yeah, that could be described as racist. But having followed the, rather depressing, case it's patently obvious that BOTH parties are *****. Childish, schoolboy *****. Terry's a white **** and Ferdinand's a black ****, no more, no less.

Brovion i agree with you !

 

[jaywalker]

So if I'm called an English **** -that's Racist ? Or my mate a Welsh Git ? Common-Black is either perjoritive or it's not !!

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Don't try to manipulate me - I didn't bite to anything on this thread. I'm reminding you, on a thread about the Euros, you called Terry a racist - yes or no?!

(It was a f***ing 140 MPH ACE that won me the game / set and match btw (not guilty))

Big f***ing deal. I still think Terry was in the wrong, and the magistrate even said Terry's version of events was unlikely but as doubt existed as to the tone and manner of his delivery he could not be found guilty. This aside, how Terry being found not guilty means YOU have 'won' our little exchange of words is beyond me; you win a battle of wits yourself with......wit. And not with someone else's victory and especially without a crap tennis metaphor.

Are you going to appeal ?
