maxxi Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Terry's 'retirement' from international football won't save him from an FA ban... "I feel the FA, in pursuing charges against me where I have already been cleared in a court of law, have made my position with the national team untenable."...bleats wriggling worm in predictably clumsy PR move shocker.

Otta Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 From BBC"Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant questions the Football Association's decision to charge John Terry with using racist language. Grant tells BBC Radio 5 live: "Nobody thinks that John Terry is a racist so the FA need to leave it. He's a good man. "He respects everybody, he's good with people and I was very surprised that people thought bad things about him. If [the FA] think JT is racist they need to do something but I think nobody thinks he is a guy like this."

Otta Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Discussion on bbc website asking whether Hodgson should now recall Rio, or move on.Personally I think he made his choice and picked Terry over Rio, so now Terry has gone look to the future.

Jah Lush Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Rio Ferdinand's not getting any younger and can barely string half a dozen games together before he's out injured again. The little niggles are getting harder to shake off as he gets older. Certainly, if he can retain his fitness and play well regularly then he's worth having a look at just for his vast experience alone, he's still better than most when fully fit but there is plenty of young talent out there at centre back and I think England will cope well without having to rely on John Terry who, and let's be fair has served England well over the years and put in some great performances but with younger players like Phil Jagielka, Gary Cahill, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Michael Dawson and Steven Caulker ready to make the step up the only problem I see with some of those players is whether they are playing regularly enough for their clubs.

Parkdrive Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Comfortable wins for the Arsenal, Spuds, and the rags last night.

Otta Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 So, why is Terry's ban only half as long as Suarez's was? If The FA said about Suarez that just using a word was enough, whatever the reasons behind it, then surely that should stand for everyone and the punishment should be consistant.

red devil Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Terry has supposedly asked for a written explanation of the verdict before he considers whether to appeal. So that might explain why the punishment is different to Suarez's...

Huguenot Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 I'm guessing the FA have a good reason as to why they've given a different penalty.I'm intrigued to know what it is though! Apparently Suarez was heavily penealised because he racially abused Evra persistently throughout the game, so it could be the Terry's infringement was considered to be a one off during a heated exchange.It also seems that neither Suarez nor Terry are considered racist by the FA, it was the language they were both penailsed for not the intent.

Otta Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Another master stroke from Rogers I see.Right, some of our players have reputations for diving, and hence have "boy who cried wolf" syndrome, so if we all start diving, they won't be so obvious.Okay Brendan.
