QUOTE (Penelope @ Jul 13 2012, 03:13 PM) Quite agree. Waste of time and money. I agree with Penelope, it was a waste of time and money. There was no proof other than one man against another. Black players said that they heard the QPR player used the word "black" when arguing with Terry. Unless there were witnesses that heard what the QPR player heard then it was a nonstarter. Anton Ferdinand will lose a lot of face amongst his fell players for making claims he couldn't back up.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ Jul 13 2012, 04:38 PM) But I'm back and you must be glad. So not posting from holiday then? Which statement is true? Actually, don't bother to answer that, I really don't care, thinking about it. But fairly obvious you'd pop up here and get involved with race and racist issues straight away though. Well done.

QUOTE (JeffG @ Jul 13 2012, 06:46 PM) Mind you, from the report I heard on the radio, the magistrate was not happy at having to find him not guilty. He more or less said "I can't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you lied in your testimony, so I am forced to find you Not Guilty." Full report of the judgement here. Interesting reasoning. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...ct-in-full.html

QUOTE (Newbelly @ Jul 13 2012, 07:44 PM) Well posted Newbelly. Enlightening reading. Seems to me quite right that he was found not-guilty.

Right an injustice - give Simon Kirby his allotment back!

QUOTE (GMR @ Jul 13 2012, 07:57 PM) It was interestng reading, but I don't think anybody expected Terry to lose. I wonder what his legal bill is! A QC charges anything from £300 to £1000 an hour. Terry will not get a fulll costs award - I am sure he can afford it though!

Yes; we live in Newbury and we are talking about it and watching it on the news so it is Newbury news; i.e. people in Newbury find it interesting.

Here here..well some . Personally I don't find subject of interest just like that flame event that passed through town. Amazing so many saw it of interest ; related to The he Olympics I believe, another waste of time/money & steeped in £corruption£.
