Jagielka notches first England goal

The court found in favour of John Terry.

So I'm curious to know why you think he should receive a ban for a charge that was thrown out?

Therefore the only certainty around the case was that there was still an FA charge to answer. They had to stop when the CPS looked at the case.

I also find it ironic that the prejudice some people feel towards John Terry, leads them to convict him on the Internet.

...Despite the fact that the case was scrutinized by experts; Incorporating key testimony, cross-examination, lip-sync specialists, witnesses, etc..and it transpired that Ferdinand's case simply wasn't compelling.

Yet apparently this doesn't deter the FA.

I find their self-important attitude condescending. They're undermining a learned, experienced judge. They're also implying both that Terry is a liar, that Ferdinand's a snitch, and that they'll end up fining two grown men..essentially for having a petty argument in a field.

In the light of a fine Olympics, football,disgracefully in my view, is in the dock. We have the useless, despicable shower of shit that is the FA to defend it.

You can ask many questions about the legal system, however my view is that maybe the CPS shouldn't have touched the case and left it to the FA to deal with.

Terry's FA charge is not the same as the Criminal charge he faced. (You may also recall that civil cases can follow a criminal case even after an acquittal). The FA are caught between a rock and a hard place here post-Suarez. If they do nothing, could you imagine the uproar from The Victims? I'm sure if you caught them at a lucid moment the FA would state they'd rather both matters hadn't arisen.

The Internet trolling happens anyway. As far as I know, no-one has been convicted yet (by Internet), though I can foresee a time when a case collapses as a result (much like the Woodgate/Bowyer trial years ago thanks to the Sunday Mirror, who completely got away with wrecking a £6m trial).

Also, because these players are "A-List" celebrities in the UK in their own right, they also benefit from huge swathes of public support. Some would argue that celebrities (in whatever field) often get away with things that the ordinary "Terry John from Surbiton" might not.

Effectively, the FA are reduced to charging JT ..with using some swear-words. They cannot prove the allegation of racism, ergo they'll attempt to save face with the all-encompassing, hardly-specific, 'bringing the game into disrepute,' charge.

Which is of course, utter bollocks. As though these two players are the first ones ever to have a moment of 'beef,' on the park.

My earlier point was to highlight the sheer amount of judgemental people who presumed he was guilty from the off, and condemned him - simply because they don't like the man.
