In my head I can now imagine the word "knorbheard". </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130470 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 18:38:09 +0000 Ironduke 130470@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I've told him to be West Ham's Kevin Nolan; for I am raising him as a Hammer, and Mr Nolan is proper old-school, firm but fair.</p> <p>@Madjez - snorter of a giggle </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130449 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 11:33:08 +0000 dvo4fun 130449@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>In a previous incarnation I was able to read in court from witness statements made in criminal proceedings.

I was talking with another Dad at 5-8year olds football on Saturday morning. When a kid scored, they did a variety of goal celebrations- gunslinger, kiss the badge, whirling arm, knee slide- that they've seen pro's do and emulated.<br /> My 5year old asked during the euro's which player he should be, and I really had to think as I went through the team- well, we've got a solid rascist in the middle; full back has a sweet left foot and a lust for other men's wives; the captain with the big engine was up for ABH as was the striker with that sweet header in the corner, the wingers are slathered in ostentatious bling and the star player is a famous whoremonger. And I'm buggered if you're being a goalie.</p> <p>The entire lot are probably hurling the most vile insults at each other, and so my suggestion is to introduce a 10minute sin-bin for foul language. The cubby hole they go and sit at the side of the pitch to have 'POTTY MOUTH' emblazoned on the top. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130438 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 08:20:39 +0000 charlies_hat 130438@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>I'm with Wayland on this one, Terry is a complete tool and a product of being told from aged 13 that he is better than 'ordinary' people. It sickens me that their clubs and most ignorant fans defend players behaviour regardless, even now I haven't heard a peep from Chelsea saying it was inappropriate and that they will punish him, its a pathetic situation. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130436 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 07:58:31 +0000 Gerontius 130436@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well, it's been splashed all over the news and made headlines in all the papers...so chances are most Premiership footballers will have missed it.<br /> Did it make The Beano do you know?<br /> It'll certainly make me think twice about calling Ferdinad a 'thick fucking cunt' in future.<br /> Actually, it'll probably be more than twice. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130433 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 07:26:24 +0000 waylandsmithy 130433@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It was right to charge Terry, he's a high profile sportsman and racial abuse shouldn't be tolerated.</p> <p>Hopefully, the prospect of being taken to court, and Terry's vilification by the media and public, will send a message to other fucking thick cunts. And football is full of them. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130432 Sun, 15 Jul 2012 07:17:26 +0000 dvo4fun 130432@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Well, there is that ... doh </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130412 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 21:06:59 +0000 The All New Jeni B 130412@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Agreed, but thanks to the case dvo was able to draw attention away from himself... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130408 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:58:39 +0000 JohnA 130408@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Then the ordure should be poured on the CPS for bringing this idiotic action to trial. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=45359#post-130403 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 19:35:58 +0000 The All New Jeni B 130403@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ferdinand didn't.

His case is that his words were not uttered by way of abuse or insult nor were they intended to be abusive or insulting. </p> <p>He says they were used after a perceived false accusation made by Mr Ferdinand, the accusation being to the effect that the defendant had used the term “black cunt” during their exchanges with each other. [The defence do not say whether Mr Ferdinand actually believed the defendant had used that expression or merely made the accusation in order to elicit a reaction.] Alternatively the case advanced on the defendant’s behalf is that although Mr Terry genuinely believes that Mr Ferdinand made a false allegation against him, nevertheless this could be a misunderstanding. '</p> <p>Hands up who would have been able to keep a stright face through the judge reading that out? </p>
