Nice boots GnP but I'll never wear blades. To many potential accidents. Do they make them with studs ?

just watched sky news, one chap they spoke to said terry could the england captaincy back. i think he should not be allowed to due the number of times he has been in the media for doing stupid things.

I don't think he should get it back, not do I believe that I think he would even ask for it. Just pure speculation. He didn't have a bad tournament and he's got a decent track record as a captain at club and country, however Stevie G was a fantastic leader and until he is no longer in the team, Stevie G is the man to lead England out.

We lost our first match in our pre season preparations. We lost 1-0 to Chemnitzer in Germany, although I heard we created lots of chances

Not sure mate... Those boots are the first ones they've released. They'll probs bring them out with the traditional studs aswell though.

I do think he feels he was probably hard done by the court and I wonder if there was any video evidence that the jury didn't see r hear that may form part of the FA investigation.

Terry has certainly courted too much controversy over the years and should not be rewarded with the England captaincy again. He does not come across as a particularly nice guy....to sleep with a team mates wife is despicable and shows his true colours as an individual.
However, with regard to this racist charge it was always going to come down to who the court believed the most. Ferdinands claim was weakened by the fact that he says he did not hear any racist comment during the game. It was only when his wife watched the match on tv and read Terry's lips that it came to light. Hardly concrete proof that he was guilty (as much as we might want him to be) as charged. I certainly do not condone racism or discrimination in any form but there has to be solid proof before someone is convicted. The fact is, guilty or not Terry will always face taunts and worse wherever he goes.

there was reasonable doubt in the evidence which is why jt was found not guilty but no concrete evidence to prove it where has the fa tribunal can impose a ban on jt and say he might not have meant it to be racial abuse but what was said could be interpreted has being racial abuse.
