Annoys the hell out of me how money and the chance of winning a trophy gets the heads up over human morals!!! Personally don't think Terry has had a good season anyway so I don't see him as somebody that could win us the euros. I hope the FA throw the book at him after euros as there's to much evidence against him not to but I have a feeling it will all just kind of brushed under the carpet which I detest!

Nonsense ....Its completely the right decision innocent until proven guilty .
which i dont believe will happen as its a bollocks charge to go with the neverending John Terry witch hunt.
Also the correct decision as Rio isnt a first choice for club or country anymore and is frankly crap.
John terry is first choice for club & country captains his club and should really be captaining his country too and would be if it wasnt for all this Anton bullshit sticking up for big bro nonsense.

Oh and we have jack s*** chance of winning the euros anyway

Video evidence clear as day saying what he shouldn't have and they have only prolonged the case so john terry could go to the euros. And I never said anything about Rio, he ain't that good anymore, I'm talking about Terry and his conduct! If it was Joey Baron the case would have been cut and shut long before now! But if it has a chance of harming our chases the FA will bend the rules to suit. Why delay the case until after the euros! It stinks of corruption and money!

Really ? I would have thought if they were that way inclined Terry would not have been stripped of the captaincy .

They only did that to appease the hatred of the fans! Nothing else!!!

The thing is the FA have said all along the court case will need to run it's course before there are any footballing implications, which is right they can't possibly find him guilty and a court of law find him innocent. They shouldn't have got involved once they had made that stance simple as in terms of the captaincy.

Ferdinand's recent form far outstrips John Terry's.

John Terry is a particularly loathsome individual. Whether he is kneeing someone in the back, shagging his best mate's ex, parking his 4 x 4 in a disabled bay, or (allegedly) racially abusing an opponent, there is a bad stench that follows him around. The FA were right to strip him of the captaincy - there were rumours of half the England squad refusing to talk to him.
However, in purely footballing terms, there is a lack of decent English centre-backs, so I can understand why Hodgson picked him. But his Court case should have been fixed for Trial before the Euros, rather than after.

Off the top of my head Ferdinand, Cahill, Jagielka, Lescott, Smalling and Jones are all decent English CBs.

I'd even take Smalling as a right back

someone said smalling was injured...anyway micah richards is a decent english CB as well.

Smalling is injured, just using him as an example. You're right about Richards though.

Ah that was just in response to this to be honest.



It was a bit off topic from George...given conversation has gone onto just naming good English CBs but never mind!

Ledley King, Michael Dawson aren't exactly shocking. If the former wasn't so injury prone I think he could have been one of the best.
