Terry not guilty

[Herr Tubthumper]

I know this will be you saying you're 'trying to get a rise' so won't enter into how wrong you were to label someone a racist BEFORE the trial!

SDuprised you're showing your face on here pal! GAME, SET & MATCH SHEEBO

You bite time and time again. Now, see if you can refrain from replying to this post.

whatever you think of JT or even of Capello as a manager, this vindicates Capello for wanting to keep his "innocent until proven guilty" captain, and for walking away when the FA pandered to media attention.

Or perhaps the FA neatly killed two birds with one stone

How many times are you going to say that? It in no way excuses Terry for anything he has ever done. We all know you like Chelsea, it's getting a bit old now.

What are you on about ?? It's the one and only time i've ever mentioned Ryan Giggs.

John Terry might not be guilty of a being a racist, but he's certainly guilty of being a prized bellend.

Very well said mate

No there's not. You are Innocent until proven guilty. If this was in Scotland they would have the option of 'not proven' but its not so we don't. so as guilt has not been proved, he can only be not guilty

Exactly, he walked into the court innocent. He had no need to prove this as this was fact in law as he entered the court. The only thing needing to be proved was his Guilty to the charge. You are only ever proved Guilty in court, or a verdict Not Guilty is delivered and you maintain your innocence in the eyes of the law.

I always like Not Proven as a verdict, it adds a key aspect that the black/white system of Guilty/Not Guilty misses.

Hang on a minute [MENTION=11956]bushy[/MENTION], this can't be right. Your white working class hero has been found not guilty, yet Anton Ferdinand is a BLACK man. I thought everything was weighted in favour of non-white people?

The very fact it even reached a courtroom proves my point.

Frequently parking in disabled spaces is a lot worse than frequently parking in your brothers wife.

If was for the prosecution to prove his guilty beyond reasonable doubt not for him (or any other person) to prove their innocence

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))

I think this should be added to my post, as it is the point I am trying to make, all be it slightly badly.

No, no it doesn't.

No, no it doesn't.

Yes, yes it does.

PS Why do you write in that style ? Two different " no's ", I find it as irritating as you did theat i leave a space between " and a letter.

This case going to court proves that people of non-white backgrounds are treated favourably by courts and the establishment? Are you for real!?

 

[Hungry Joe]

Right verdict in the circumstances. I don't believe JT is a racist and the 'facts' were inconclusive. What is clear to everyone is that both JT and Ferdinand behaved like complete tossers, but that's nothing new for either of them (or for many others like them in the game both professional and amateur). We can hope for people to behave better when in the public eye but it's never going to happen, especially in the heat of sporting contest.

 

[public school boy]

the Prosser case never made court

 

[jaywalker]

can you explain it to me then because I'm a bit lost!!! He said those words, so how can he be found not guilty?

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

 

[Questions]

As a result of this various players have taken sides with Terry or Ferdinand and don't want anything to do with the other lot. The whole thing is a mess.

Shut it Honky.

 

[Questions]

I totally agree. Any system which finds Redknapp and John Terry innocent is lacking and clearly flawed.

Bad loser.

I parked in a disabled bay the other night outside Morrisons at 8.50 working on the assumption that it was unlikely that 15 disabled people would suddenly turn up 10 minutes before closing. I,ve not felt good about it since though.
