Not just a rag like the mirror, not just the back page, but the front page of the independent.

But hey, keep claiming Suarez was badly done to.

And you keep on defending your racist captain.

Apart from the video of him saying it there was no evidence? Jeeze you have high standards.

Just out of curiosity...why did Terry go to court but Suarez didn't? Was it because Evra made the complaint where as the complaint made about Ferdinand was by a member of the public/ off duty police officer iirc?

As for people getting on their high horse about people being racists...I'm pretty sure you will have all either told or been told a racist joke in the past. I assume that instead of laughing you immediately called them a racist and wish they be sacked from their place of work?

NB- I am not condoning what either have done/ said, just too many people are hypercritical in this world.

So you think what he did was a perfectly action in the modern workplace?

What Terry did is hardly the same as telling a joke was it?

Fair enough, I'm not defending what he has said or anything. Just irks me how people moan about something they've no doubt done themselves at some point.

I can categorically state I have never called someone what Terry was alleged to have called Ferdinand.

What he said, but without the 'alleged' bit since Terry admitted using that particular phrase.
