And I think his teammates (not least Ashley Cole) would have had something to say about it. Totally misleading video, pretty sad really. FWIW when I watched it at the time I thought he said 'bellend', and I still do now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Probably worth considering as well that that happened after the incident where he bumped into Paddy Kenny. Considering again the proximity of Ashley Cole and who he was shouting at (Anton Ferdinand), do you really believe nobody else would have heard him shouting it that loudly? Total non-story.

Beren Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Don't think it can be discounted purely on the basis that other people heard it and didn't react. Presumably everyone knows what a scumbag Terry is, and his team mates live with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hang on, under your version of events had he actually said it - what would have happened? Mikel, Cole and others would have swarmed around him? Or more likely just called him a wanker under their breath and got on with the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Hang on, under your version of events had he actually said it - what would have happened? Mikel, Cole, Essien would have swarmed around him? I think at a bare minimum, the black players on the QPR team would have said something. Anton Ferdinand perhaps, the person he was supposedly shouting it at from at least a third of the pitch away. The referee might have had something to say about it as well. John Terry cheated on someone, it happens quite a lot. Doesn't make him a racist*. The person who uploaded that video is a fucking joke. *Not saying you're making this link, but people are seemingly easily led because he's a scumbag.

Dave Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Oh and if he did shout that across the pitch, I look forward to him being punished accordingly. Anyone willing to place a wager on this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I know Terry puffed his cheeks out at Kenny insinuating that he was a fatty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Disagree. In that intense atmosphere, I doubt Anton or any other QPR player would have thought of it as being any more than John Terry being a dick and/or running his mouth. Certainly nothing to stop the game about. He probably shouted back "fuck off" while getting on with the game. I think you've over-estimated the sensitivity of the players to the alleged phrase. It would have meant no more or less to Anton Ferdinand than the "knobhead" comment while he was out there, IMO. We're just speculating though.

How's Patrice Evra getting on with his claim? Dunno, but at least in that instance there's an actual claim from the player in question and the FA say they're going to investigate.

Beren Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Seriously. If someone said that to me on the pitch, I'd tell 'em to piss off - but I'd continue with the game. Wouldn't run to the ref to complain, wouldn't run to the person saying it to confront him. In fact don't know why I'm using hypotheticals, wankers at school used to make racial slurs at me/others on the pitch - but you don't get involved in a big ruckus every time.
