I am slightly worried that the Suarez ban has been labelled a "deterrent". That makes it seem as though their Terry one will be less harsh, because they'll already have made an example of Suarez. And Terry's should be longer. Because he's more of a cunt.
:lol: its funny cause its true. Although Suarez is a massive cunt as well.Quote:

Also, it is the CPS that are to make a statement regarding him this afternoon.
Yes - the FA cannot do a thing until the police/CPS have finished.Quote:

He used the word nigretto (or something like it) and the interpretation over here is as if he had used the word nigger. This might well not be the case. Remember when George W Bush used the expression 'Pakis' and the UK PC brigade jumped up - except that while paki is a term of abuse in the UK and its use is therefore rightly condemned, in the US, it is just short for Pakistani as we can use 'Gerry' for a German without being considered at all abusive. (We have plenty of other ways of abusing the Germans).
Now if it is true that the term nigreto in Uruguay is considered as innocuous as Gerry is to us, it would be wrong for Suarez to be penalised in the way he has been. A word to him indicating that over here, it would be considered offensive by people so he should avoid using it would be sufficient on this occasion. Of course if the nigretto word has the same connotations as nigger has over here, then he deserves all the punishment he gets.
People on both sides would be wise to wait for the written statement. But that just ain't gonna happen.
JayTee's defence is absolutely terrible. I don't think anyone can take that seriously. He'd basically be in the same boat as Suarez in admitting using the words...and I can't recall 'black cunt' ever used affectionately. Banned for the season, to be fair.Quote:

Yeah, sure :blink:

If Terry is let off I can see RAWK literally exploding.
If Terry is let off, there will be a general explosion. Surely even the FA could not be that stupid. (What am I saying? They could.)Quote:

However, Terry does know that black cunt (or any number of other racist terms) is offensive in the UK. As such, if found guilty, he should have a harsher sentence such as death.Quote:
