One Rule For John Terry…..
So, Anton Ferdinand has reacted to John Terry’s not guilty verdict by suggesting “It is one rule for us, and one rule for John Terry” has he? Well if that’s the case, we’ll be expecting to see both Ferdinand brothers’ arses hauled in front of a judge and pronounced guilty shall we?
Of course we won’t, in fact we won’t even see the pair of them up in front of the FA, which may well mean there’s one rule for them and another for JT. We will however see John Terry up in front of the FA – since five days in court didn’t offer the pound of flesh everyone outside of Chelsea had hoped for.
Meanwhile though, Anton Ferdinand will undoubtedly continue to make statements that call the decision arrived at in a court of law into question because he seems to be able to get away with that along with his foul mouthed goading on a pitch. Presumably his bitter and twisted brother will also carry on tweeting classless comments taking digs, not just at John Terry, but at anyone he thinks he can score points from now.
Yes, we all know by now United’s paragon of virtue repeated some no-mark’s tweet calling Ashley Cole a ‘choc ice’, because he found it funny apparently. Weird that when someone else repeats racist words he doesn’t find it quite so amusing. Also strange he felt the need to delete the tweet in question as soon as it was suggested a screen shot and a several thousand retweets might make it a lot less funny.
Anyway, whilst he’d initially tweeted “it’s sarcasm”, in yet another dig at JT, yesterday saw him doing a bit more digging to try and get himself out of it, saying “What I said yesterday is not a racist term. It’s a type of slang/term used by many for someone who is being fake. So there.” Fortunately, whilst others might be doing their best to demonstrate how low rent they are, our own players are rising above it.
John Terry decided to say nothing and take himself away from it all after the court found him not guilty and in spite of the venomous tweets aimed in his direction, Ashley Cole has chosen not to go down the Ferdinand route, with his lawyers saying “Ashley has no intention of making any sort of complaint. Ashley appreciates that tweeting is so quick it often results in off-hand and stray comments.”
Not that that’ll be the end of the whole sorry mess though because with a ‘source close to’ Anton Ferdinand telling the world how disappointed he was with the verdict, saying “He hoped that the trial would be a landmark case in as much as it would show the nation that racism is simply not acceptable”, it’s quite clear pressure is still very publicly being exerted for someone to hang John Terry. Of course, that ‘someone’ is likely to be the FA with them apparently passing their file, along with chief magistrate Howard Riddle’s 15-page judgement to an independent QC for his recommendations today in an effort to fast-track the process.
It would appear it is indeed one rule for them and another for John Terry.

Whats al these issue is lik dis am tired of d whole tin,cos its jon terry of chelsea how assumin it ws wayne rooney of man u wl d fa find it necessary 2 continue investigation wen d cour has givn its rulin.wel let d english fa continue bn bias.blues 4lif
Yes thats right you just keep wearing your blinkers and see what you want to see.The bottom line is that the racial words came from Terrys foul mouth as we all know as true after he eventually admited using them. Now saying that Ferdinand accused him of saying the words first and he was repeating the words back because he was shocked at being accused of making the racial comment.Strang that Ferdinand knew nothing about the comment till after the game when he was shown it on you tube by his girlfriend .Terry might of got away with in court but i think the public know what he is really like. Another thing that shocks me is the hatred by a minority that feel it is right to threaten and terrify Anton and his family including his mother who had to call in the police after receiving threats bearng in mind that it was not Anton who asked for this issue to go to court.
If FA failed to sit on the case when it happened, and it was handled by a competent court of law, why must they want to sit on it for the second time? Or are they saying they don’t believe in the competency of this court that sat on the case?
you know what i don’t get: people saying that this verdict shows that racism is “acceptable”. no it doesn’t. everyone involved is very clear that racism isn’t acceptable. terry actually denied saying anything racist…& was cleared. how does that show that racism is “acceptable”?
now if terry had admitted being racist, & then the judge had said “fair enough…not guilty cos i don’t like them blacks”: that would have sent a message that “racism is acceptable”.
JT: possibly the most disgusting, odious, reprehensible, immoral human being I have ever had the displeasure of watching play football. But then again he is the captain of a club that all the words I’ve used to describe him could easily be used to describe the club itself, and certainly it’s fans. You need more players like Frank Lampard…love that man!
p.s. your article reads like a brain-dead moron has written it but as it was written by a Chelsea fan I suppose that is the case.
guilty guilty guilty
so all a player now has to do from now on is is prefix (or say they did) any racist slur they like with the words “do you think I said”
yeh right
Tom – you call a complete stranger a brain-dead moron yet reckon Chelsea fans are the odious one’s? lol
tuono – Isn’t that libel?
Hey Tom, you feel better? You got us!
A strange way to spend one’s time . . .
Some of u guys here are with no legal instinct but must u open your disgusting mouth to ridicule an indispensable and respected player in john terry. He was stripped of d captaincy band yet he proved his professionalism at d euros 2012, even wit a clear cut save on the goal line which took dem to d quarters. U went to seek justice to d allegations but u all met ur waterloo after he was discharged from d racist palava. He is a conqueror, and if u dont like d pronouncement from d court of jurisidiction why not appeal or u go to hell. If he was a racist he wudnt have find it easier to work with d blacks in d chelsea fc team. He is a good captain, leader and legend for his club and country. Be objective in ur reasoning.
