The case against Chelsea captain John Terry for allegedly racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand should never have gone to court, team-mate Ashley Cole claimed on the witness stand on Wednesday.
"JT was saying he thought Anton had said something black and he's just repeated it. That was it. I think we shouldn't be sitting here, personally," Cole told Westminster Magistrates' Court.
The Blues full-back admitted that he had not heard the initial exchange between Terry and Ferdinand despite standing "less than a car length" away from his captain at the time, though added: "When JT turns around I was on the halfway line looking for a free kick where they'd made a foul.
"I remember JT running back and Anton shouting things and making gestures."
Cole replied, when asked if anything had been said: "[From] what I can make out, yes. I can make out him either saying 'Bridgey', or 'black'. I can't say either. I don't hear it out loud but I'm looking at him."
The left-back had later been involved after the match in a dressing-room discussion between Terry and Ferdinand on the issue.
"Because of what JT has said on the pitch, Anton's come into the changing room and repeated it and I've repeated it back and that's it," he explained. "I said: 'Did you think he called you a racist name?'
"Basically, yeah, that was it," Cole answered when prosecutor Mr Duncan Penny suggested that that discussion had "smoothed it over". "If someone just goes up to someone and says it then of course you wouldn't take it. If someone's repeated it it's different. Racism shouldn't be tolerated."
Earlier on the third day of the trial, Terry claimed that he was eager to speak to the authorities before he had even seen any video footage of the incident, so confident was he of his innocence.
He declared on the stand: "I knew there was nothing out there that would show that I had done anything wrong.
"I was keen to go forward with my police statement, my FA statement. If I had anything to hide I wouldn't have done that."
The prosecution had put it to Terry that he had lashed out at Ferdinand due to continually being "humiliated in public", over his alleged affair with the partner of his former team-mate Wayne Bridge.
Prosecutor Mr Duncan Penny said: "You knew you'd crossed the line, you've regretted it ever since, and you're stuck with this story," which the Chelsea man denied.
The case continues.
It is a bit of a mountain out of a molehill situation but as long as Terry is found guilty then its ok
Verdict is today at 2pm i think :popcorn:
A massive fine of £2500 awaits Terry if found guilty.
That'll sure teach him
Big Man should be found guilty of being John Terry.
That is his crime, that is also his punishment.Quote:

FFS.

Not guilty. :lol:
Not Guilty - now there's a surprise!
Insufficient evidence :rolleyes:
It's like a script...
:doh:
anyone fancy a trip to rawk? it must ahve imploded by now
Big Man walks off and in to a taxi without saying anything. :lol:
Jesus H Christ.
OK - so now what do the FA do? They don't have to follow the court's ruling as they have a different level of proof required. They will bottle it though.
Meanwhile, who plays for England. Does Gerrard stay as captain? (I suspect yes because he was chosen by the new manager so there is no need to stir the shit.
So will Rio ever get to play for England again?
We all know he's guilty anyway.
John Terry, you know what you are!

He emerges from all this with as much credit as he went in - none at all.

I thought this one was reasonable, though the FA will worm out of it....

The FA have to charge Terry and find him guilty, based on "the balance of probability." They can not apply a different standard to Terry and to Suarez. They made their bed with the handling of Suarez / Evra case and now they have to lie in it.

RIO FERDINAND is being showered with abuse on Chelsea FC’s website.
Angry Blues fans are getting away with uncensored attacks on The Shed’s message board, calling the Manchester United ace a ‘cretin’, ‘dim t**t’ and a ‘disgrace’ on the official Blues site.
He has been targeted for supporting his brother Anton in the race case with John Terry — and for slamming Ashley Cole on Twitter, which could lead to an FA charge.
Anti-racism campaigner Luther Blissett said: “The posts have been going on all weekend and it’s strange no one has been doing anything to stop it.
“Your official website is supposed to reflect on what the club are thinking so people could think it’s the view of the club.”
PFA chairman Clarke Carlisle added: “You’d expect it to be moderated but even a moderated site can’t quell free speech.”
Ferdinand endorsed a message from a friend branding Cole a ‘choc ice’ after he backed Chelsea team-mate Terry in court.
But he insisted it was not racist and was a term for someone being fake.
