Racism in Football

[Vermilion]

Samuel would've had Suarez hung, drawn and quartered on the back of no evidence. Now he's insisting "We need hard facts, not vague implorations. We are going to find out the truth of this matter, but sometime after July 9. Sorry if that is vexatious" - hard facts. It is absolutely unbelievable hypocrisy.

The bloke is scum!

Too be honest I agree with what he means when he is talking about the overall case. But I cant abide by the venom he is writing. The way he treats people with a broad brush is hugely condescending and seems agenda driven.

Terry cant be prejudged until the outcome of the case. Thats how I read it. I don't know why he cant say that and be done with all the needless padding and moral high ground grabbing.

He probably gets paid by the word

Do you think Harry would turn down the England job (if it was offered to him) because Spurs were in the CL?

I do, yes. Obviously this is simply a guess.

[Exiled_red]

The contrast between people's opinions on Suarez to that of Terry is beyond belief. I can't read much more about this case because the whole Suarez thing made my blood boil - the Terry case is rubbing salt in the wounds.

Can certain areas of the media **** this up, so that it becomes impossible for him to be given a fair trial ?

[Kenneth]

So what do people think? Did Terry racially abuse Ferdinand?

Is the video the only evidence?

They could, of course. They'd face a contempt charge though.

Wasn't Ferdinands attention brought to what Terry said by team mates that heard it ?

Long time to go before this gets settled, was just wondering.

I don't know. I know **** all about this case. It was a genuine question

Didn't some of the QPR players hear it? (although Ferdinand wasn't one of them). I thought I read somewhere that Ferdinand didn't know what Terry had said until his team mates told him after the game.

Oh yeah i know it was a genuine question.

I seem to remember something about Ferdinand accepting Terrys apology in the tunnel after the game, but then being told by team mates what he had said and changing his stance, hence the early confusion when Terry said he'd spoke to Ferdinand and sorted it out.

Someone from the crowd made a police complaint too. That's why the case is taking place in court rather than being handled only by the Ferguson Association ala Suarez.

Yeah I read that too.

Someone watching on TV saw it, uploaded the footage to YouTube and then someone complained to the police.
