John Terry kept puffing his face out & calling Paddy Kenny a "fat" *word censored*

Isn't that a description of how the man looks followed by an insult?

No furore about this though.....

John Terry is fucking scum full stop. Before this, after this. That's why so many people, me included aren't interested in England. Hard to support the likes of Rooney, Cashley, Terry et al when you know they are 100% filth.

Terry should take the "Cheryl Cole" guide to getting away with racism.... smash up a black girl in a nightclub toilet, so marry a black to prove you're not racist!

Yep very interesting that he doesn't use this interview to close off the issue!

This is interesting though- from a sports lawyer (also from the Guardian Website)

Proving allegations of this nature is difficult and John Terry has approached this case well from a defence perspective. As there is video evidence that he appeared to direct racially abusive words towards Anton Ferdinand he does not rebut claims he said the words in question. Instead his defence is that he repeated the words in order to deny that he had used them in the first place.

My feeling is that, barring any new evidence such as new video footage from a different angle, there is not enough material for the FA to charge Terry with anything. A member of the public has filed a complaint, Terry denies any wrongdoing and there is no hard evidence either way. There is also the fact that the video evidence does not pick up the whole of the incident, so Terry can say that the context of what he said is not captured fully.

If the allegations are proven, however, then the repercussions would be very serious for Terry, particularly because of the campaign to rid football of racism, the fact that Chelsea have a number of black players and that he is the national team captain.

If Chelsea did not take serious action against Terry then that would be seen as condoning racism. In most jobs any employee that was proved to have racially abused someone would be sacked – there is no doubt he would face serious sanctions from the club.

The fact that many of Chelsea's employees – Terry's team-mates – are from ethnic minorities would add gravity to the situation too. As employers Chelsea have a duty of care to them too.

To be fair, its hardly a surprise that there is a lot more trouble when you go around and abuse someone and bring race into it than when you abuse someone and bring their weight into it

Ashley Cole's head gets in the way (not what some have said eh Jermaine?) and you cant see what he says before he says "black *word censored*" - whatever media / pr support JT has, it is the fucking nuts - he is pretty much off the hook i reckon.

by all accounts Terry's next door neighbour Jack Smethurst has come out in the papers and said "John is not a racist", :wink: :wink:

fellow neighbour Alf Garnett, said "He is a lovely lad and treats his Butler Benson really well :lol: :lol:
