And John Terry gets half the ban blah blah blah

John Terry got half the ban because he was found to have abused Ferdinand once, while Suarez was found to have repeatedly used racial abuse.

Utter morons then say that there should be a blanket ban. But when a player is found to have made nasty, vile abuse against several players for 90 minutes are they really going to want them banned for just 8 games? Of course not. They'll then be calling for even longer bans, because 8 games obviously isn't enough.

But as Anton's Ferdiand's verbal abuse of John Terry wasn't worthy of censure, and Ashley Cole's word wasn't as bad as Anton's, how can that be twice as high a fine as Ferdinand's racial insult of Cole? Isn't racial abuse worthy of a blanket 8 match ban when it's by Rio Ferdinand on Ashley Cole?

So Ashley Cole gets twice the fine that Rio Ferdinand got for racially abusing him. But I guess Ferdinand's abuse was the wrong kind of racial abuse.

Classic. Ferdinand racially abusing him. The fact that Ashley Cole is a 100% fine with him suggests Cole was in no way abused.

Just because Cole didn't milk the situation like Anton or Rio would doesn't mean he wasn't racially abused. The FA said he was. That's why they found him guilty of the same offence they found John Terry guilty of.

Not sure what Chelsea have to gain by refusing to confirm whether or not Terry is still their captain. Why try to keep secret something that will become apparent on Tuesday?

Could it be that they've stripped him of the captaincy but are going through an internal appeals process? Or that there is some disagreement within the club on the matter?

CFC will be condemned when they confirm that JT will still be captain.

So rather than be facing the full condemnation that JT will still be club captain in the build up to the home game against Spurs, it will simply be revealed when the team sheet is released in the build up to the game in Donetsk.

I actually didn't think that was worthy of a prison sentence when I read Chris28's comment.

But after reading about his previous, I reckon a spell inside is what he needs. What an idiot.
