THE ENGLISH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION FLACCID ON THE JOHN TERRY CASE

On October 15, 2011 the Uruguayan and Liverpool goal-poacher, Luis Suarez uttered a “negro” word on the French international and Manchester United left back Patrice Evra during an English Premiership match. Evra did lay a formal complaint with the concerned Football Association (FA), the matter was attended very swiftly and consequently Luis was charged.

IRONY: The message on JT's armband is very clear/guardian.co.uk

Suarez was penalised a fine of £40,000 and effectively handed an eight match ban. The FA’s Regulatory Commission charged the Uruguayan of breach of the E-rules which E(1) reads thus: “A participant shall at all times act in the best interest of the game and shall not act in any manner which is improper or brings the game into disrepute or use any one, or combination of, violent conduct, serious foul play, threatening, abusive, indecent or insulting words or behaviour”.http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/RulesandRegulations/FARules. A decision on the matter was concluded on Tuesday 20, December.

Flashing back to October 23, 2011 Chelsea and England captain John Terry racially abused Anton Ferdinand in a QPR vs. Chelsea match. I may not be a lip reader but it doesn’t take one to tell John Terry mentioned a ‘black’ word in dialogue with Anton Ferdinand-who is related to England’s and Manchester United’s centre back Rio Ferdinand. Terry and Rio together have a milestone of over 140 international caps. It will be interesting how the next England manager (coach) will handle this matter. The FA did effectively strip Terry off the captaincy armband subsequent to Anton laying the charge with the Crown Prosecution Service, however I feel that is just a slap on the wrist; the matter should had been addressed as swift as the Evra-Suarez issue considering they happened only three days apart.

"YOU FUCKIN' BLACK CUNT"

Such a mouthful from a man entrusted with the England captaincy for so long

NB:IF YOU CAN'T VIEW THE ABOVE VIDEO INSERT IT SIMPLY MEANS YOUR SYSTEM IS NOT JAVA INSTALLED.

It may be Good Friday today, though for lack of a better word this John in Christian terms is a far cry from Jesus trusted apostle-John.

IT WAS LONG WRITTEN ON THE WALL

•John Terry was responsible for his ex-room mate Wayne Bridge self exclusion from the England squad selection ahead of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. This was after the married Terry sleeping with Wayne Bridges ex girlfriend.

•In many instances Terry is always in a rift during a match, one that comes to mind was when he man handled Nigeria’s Odemwingie, a definite no-no for an English football symbol.

I suppose it is inherent of the English to protect one of their own; in an incident whereby a hot headed Wayne Rooney was red carded for stepping on Portugal’s Carvalho’s private parts, the English media had the audacity to blame Cristiano Ronaldo who got involved.

A renowned ex-player Alan Shearer suggested at the time “Rooney must go stick it in the next time they meet at training at Old Trafford”.

Can John Terry’s lawyers save his tainted public perception?, probably John is hoping that this will drag for so long like the OJ Simpson case, and in the run some will speak in his favour.
