I dislike Terry as much as anyone but I think it only fair to say that making a racist comment does not necessarily imply you are a racist.

True but also it would be very hard to convince people you aren't a racist if you are convicted for racial abuse towards someone.

A £2500 fine.  Really?  Is that all we can look forward to?  Why bother if you ask me, you could add another few zeroes on it and it probably wouldn't be that big a deal.

Did they not jail some chap for 6 months for racially abusing Muamba on Twitter?  I was hoping JT was going to get the same judge who presided over that case... 

Not a lot of money is right but if he is convicted he will have the racist tag attached to him for rest of his career, rest of his life even.
This will no doubt have a negative effect on whatever sponsorship deals he has, like boot deals etc and also whatever plans he has when he is finished football.

Starts Today.


The trial of John Terry for allegedly racially abusing Anton Ferdinand will get under way on Monday.
The Chelsea captain and England defender Terry, 31, was charged with a racially aggravated breach of public order after a remark made to Queens Park Rangers player Ferdinand at a Premier League game in October 2011.
Terry could face a £2,500 fine if convicted at the Westminster magistrates court trial, which is expected to last five days.
Police questioned Terry in November 2011 after a complaint from the public and crown prosecutors decided he should be charged with the summary offence.
The comment was allegedly made, and seemingly caught on footage, to the QPR defender when the two teams met at Loftus Road.
Terry's lawyer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf at Westminster magistrates court in February.
His trial was delayed until after the Euro 2012 championships after District Judge Howard Riddle heard that a number of other Chelsea players would not be able to appear as witnesses until the end of the football season.
Chelsea won the Champions League and FA Cup this season and Terry played in the England team that reached the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 in June.

Only recently starting watching The Walking Dead.
Saw first few episodes of Season 2 last week and liked it so have downloaded season 1 and watched most of it over weekend.
Very good show.

Where will Whipping Boys Daly go next?
Galway won't want him now. Laois might have a vacancy.

We'd take him no problem.

St Bernadettes Neilstown?

Durrow Harps.

Sorry thought you were referring to your local GAA club and not a club in Laois.

AFAIK the GAA club in Lucan is called Lucan Sarsfields.
I'm not a member nor do I intend on ever becoming one,maybe though when my son is older I'll bring him along if he wants.
I dunno what your obsession is about this club in Neilstown that you keep referring too but it's getting a little tiresome at this stage.

Kilkenny might be looking for him now!

Sure we will take Cody so!

Is it not about time they done away with 3 cheers for the losing team.
Time they done away with speeches altogether IMO.

Feckin delighted.
Plenty of KK people for me to annoy now!

Galway hitting a lot of wides, would like to see Galway get a goal to finish them off.

What a stupid goal to give away.

Interesting, very interesting.

All their doing is upsetting the beast.

As I was saying... Galway not afraid to give the Cats some of the tasty stuff too.

Apparently there is a tennis match on somewhere...

Tennis? Almost as boring as Rugby.

What odds are KK to win now? Never write them off...

Interesting, very interesting.
