FA: Tough on racism only when it doesn't involve Englishmen

[RichC]

Sounds about right

[Neil Young]

They won't even take the word of Hodgson as evidence. Yet they were happy to use one person's word against another when looking for evidence in the Suárez/Evra case.

Breathtaking hypocrisy.

They are morons. Hypocrisy and double standards have epitomised them for decades.

Not a fan of Chelsea at all but I loved it when Gourlay and Buck came on Talksport and basically intimated that they have zero faith in the FA to run the game in this country. Utter morons

Did Kompany get racist abuse during an interview last night ?

edit:

Clear as day to me.

"We have won the league, you black c**t"

Disgraceful.

You're 12 points behind you fat ****"

I've heard Milner called fat by opposing fans before so that'll be it.
Have a listen again, I'm 99.9% it's fat not black.

United fans are thick but to shout that in the media lounge would be insane

Tend to agree with the second post, would any utd fan be that stupid!?

edit: just tuned into ts, and heard Keyes say that 'Kompany was plainly racially abused in the tunnel last night and they/ts are trying to find out by who".

Arsenal fan Thomas Flint from Enfield appears in court to admit throwing a banana at a Spurs player during last month's north London derby.

It was aimed at Bale, which is fair enough.

Terry snubs Bernstein handshake

John Terry snubbed the hand of FA Chairman David Bernstein at a ceremony welcoming the Champions League trophy to London.

The Chelsea captain admitted that he had declined the handshake at the event in Whitehall.

Bernstein was the man responsible for stripping the defender of the England captaincy last year after he allegedly racially abused Anton Ferdinand.

Terry was found not guilty in a court hearing last summer, but in the FA’s subsequent review of the incident, where the burden of proof is lower, he was handed a four-match ban which the defender did not appeal.

Bernstein will step down from his role in the summer.

"It's a difficult one for me,” Terry said when asked about the handshake, “he went and spoke about me in the court case."

Asked directly wheter he shook Bernstein's hand, Terry replied: "No."

For his part Bernstein said he had not been aware of the snub.

"I didn't notice anything," said Bernstein.

"My relationships with everyone here are really fantastic. I didn't notice a thing and I think we should talk about more positive things than that sort of nonsense."

Handshakes – or the lack of them – have become part-and-parcel of stories involving Terry in recent years.

In 2010 Wayne Bridge famously refused to shake Terry’s hands in their first on-field meeting since reports that Terry had had an affair with Bridge’s then-partner Vanessa Perroncel.

Last September QPR’s Anton Ferdinand avoided shaking the Chelsea skipper’s hand at the pre-match handshake.

And the question of whether Anton’s brother Rio Ferdinand will shake with Terry has been a talking point ahead of clashes between Chelsea and Manchester United has been a regular talking point in the build-up to matches.

John Terry to make himself available to play for England again,

[TheElephantMan]

I'm sure the FBC's playing for England would approve.

[Shaggy]

What a joke.

[BobTheCharmer]

Whats the crack with terry? He hardly plays these days. When he does he looks in a worse state than carra, in as far as pace goes. I guess injuries have caught up with him. I can't see the point of him playing for England. Don't get me wrong he's a horrible piece of **** but he has been a bloody good captain and centre back over the years.

[dom9]

I really hope England don't qualify. Really, really hope. I'm seriously considering going to the World Cup and I don't want to be lumped in with a bunch of numbskulls while I'm there. Imagine going half way round the world to experience football in the country that football was invented for, only to be surrounded by a bunch of simple minded xenophobes from Aldershot.
