Uncle Albert Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Sorry if there's already a thread on this, can't find one at a quick glance. http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/8114114/Chelsea-captain-John-Terry-has-been-banned-for-four-games-and-fined-220-000 Banned for four matches and fined £220,000. On a side note, whilst I fully condemn what John Terry allegedly did, the FA are an absolute disgrace. How can they ban him for half the amount of games that Suarez was banned for yet fine his five and a half times as much for, and I quote, "exactly the same offence".

JammyOne Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I don't understand though; he has cleared his name in the eyes of the court, how can the FA charge him for something he has been cleared for? Anyway, sign him up Del boy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 It seems to me that the FA have punished him as a token gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, sign him up Del boy! Wrongly or rightly, The FA work on the "balance of probabilities" whereas the criminal justice system works on the basis of "beyond reasonable doubt".

Eddie Hitler Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Time for Roy to persuade him back into the England team; without him our defence looks fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FanaticRed Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 The FA shouldn't be getting involved it has nothing to do with them as hes already been proven innocent... thing whole this has turned into a joke and i feel sorry for Terry tbh, no wonder the poor bloke packed in international football!

Robbored Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Apparently the charge that Terry was cleared of in court is not the same charge that he's been convicted of by the FA. According to David Davies ( ex FA executive ) there are 'subtle differences' between the two charges. What those 'subtle differences' are is confidential. It would be wouldn't it?

numbeast Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Although I don't particularly like John Terry I do feel he's a marked man by the F.A. certainly since the allegations regarding him and a team mate ex. Whilst I could never condone racism in any way I do feel there is two sides to this story and an awful amount of guess work on the part of the F.A. Perhaps we should wire the players up in future so we can disect their every comment amidst the heat of a game. Lets hope this is the end of the affair re JT but perhaps the F.A. should sit down and agree on a standard punishment for this and other issues in the game thereby creating some consistancy.

Gazred Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Why would you repeat the offensive words when trying to explain yourself on the field of play.

Robbored Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Terry was charged by the FA for bringing the game into disrepute which is different to the Racial Abuse charge he faced in the courts. That said it was racial abuse that the FA said was 'bringing the game in to disrepute'. Banned for 4 games and fined two weeks wages pending appeal. Like him or not it looks very like a witch hunt to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can they ban him for half the amount of games that Suarez was banned for yet fine his five and a half times as much for, and I quote, "exactly the same offence". The ban should be the same. Isn't the fine x number of weeks wages? So the figure fined will be nowhere near the same! All a bit of a mystery. Who knows how the suits decide things at the FA, I'm long past trying to understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suarez was fined £40,000 and I can't for one minute see he is on either £20,000 or £40,000 per week. Ahhh dear, the FA need to get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
