So the verdict is due later on the FA hearing in to John Terrys alleged racist rant.
Forgive me if im wrong, wasnt he found not guilty in a Court of Law for the same thing?
How can the FA charge him if Legally he is not guilty?
What ramifications does this have if a sports body thinks its above the Law?
Awaiting the verdict with interest ....
Isn't it a question of the standard of proof? In a civil court, the standard of proof required is less demanding than the criminal court's. Linda CareersPartnershipUK
I think the problem was he is alleged to have repeated what 'tother chap thought he heard Terry say. I hate racism & im not sure who is telling the truth but a Court has found Terry not Guilty & that should have been the end of the matter. On reflection the fine is around 2 weeks wages & a 4 match ban isnt too bad, this should be the end of it but somehow this is going to drag on ..... Clive
The FA didn't like the fact that he USED racial language, which he admitted he did, thus guilty of misconduct. The court could not PROVE the racial language was intended as an insult to Ferdinand, thus not guilty of racially motivated public disorder. Two different 'charges' so two different outcomes, like being found guilty of speeding but not guilty of dangerous driving. (I'm not defending any point of view, just stating the situation as I understand it) AlanF
John Terry is not a racist by any means, he is just a victim of evil society who only look for mistakes. “So the verdict is due later on the FA hearing in to John Terrys alleged racist rant.
