Suarez got 12 match ban,But atleast we can officially call Terry a racist..
according to the fa but not the courts.

bizarre.

I,m with the FA on this one

Although the ban and 220,000 fine is pathetic..

John Terry's representatives have released the following statement.

"Mr. Terry is disappointed that the FA Regulatory Commission has reached a different conclusion to the clear not guilty verdict of a court of law.

"He has asked for the detailed written reasons of the decision and will consider them carefully before deciding whether to lodge an appeal."

As much as I despise Terry he has a point, how can he be label guilty if the law finds him not guilty.

the burdens of proof are different it seems.

seems a very odd situation to me.

Difference was Suarez repeatedly called evra a naughty word.

Terry only got caught saying it twice.

at least terry has saved the fa the trouble of "sacking" him from the england set up, which they surely would have had to do.

Whether Terry appeals as there must be grounds

I hope he doesn't. They'll hammer him more.

Can they revise a punishment upwards if it's appealed?

Yup.

That goes against natural justice. Even in employment law a sanction can't be increased because it's appealed

Not if the panel thinks its a frivolous appeal to defeat the ends of said justice.

Feck him he got off very light. Time foe Suarez to look into suing the FA.

Post by **M H** » Thu Sep 27, 2012 5:46 pm

Then surely if the appeal's deemed frivolous it's just thrown out and justice is upheld?

Post by **Justin Credible** » Thu Sep 27, 2012 6:30 pm

thankfully Terry plays for chelsea..........and not liverpool , could you imagine the shit if he did

Nope. He gets hammered for the costs of the appeal & extra games added.

It is well known so as to ward off frivolous appeals.

Guess it's all down to how the FA word their statement?
