Why is John Terry so bad and hated?

Terry is alleged to have made racist comments towards Ledley King during a match last season, although nobody involved has come forward to verify this, curiously. No smoke without fire vs giving the benefit of the doubt - many people choose the former.

-racist thug (qv bowyer incident)
-overpaid primadonna
-epitomises "passion" over technique re england
-cockney wanker
-been lucky in his career because of abramovich
-fucking useless england captain
-whiff of skinhead mentality about him
-chelsea

if anyone saw the 'racist' incident in question and analysed the fallout, it's a lot more than 50-50 against terry.

oh, and so much more. racist, violent, arrogant thug covers it mainly. spurs need a player like him.

-relentless & petulant bully of referees
-typical, slow as fuck, useless, clodhopping English centre half

John Terry is classic as a footballer and dud as a human being. You only need to take a look at how the Chelsea defence falls apart without him.

Plus, you know, Chelsea.

racist is a pretty strong accusation. What are the incidents in question?

The racist thing is bullshit put about by bitter Spurs that falls apart as soon as you look at the footage and the fact that everybody involves say it is bullshit, but there's no denying he's been an utter cock since he got the England captaincy.

He's not a typical English centre-half - he reads the game exceptionally well and is pretty comfortable on the ball - but he gets portrayed that way by the media who love the whiff of bulldog about him.

He was a tosser as a kid, got his head sorted, got a lot of deserved praise, and promptly became a tosser again.

Didn't The Nation actually publish the claims that Terry's a racist?

In an exclusive interview with Inside Sport presenter Gabby Logan, Terry also revealed he was still angry about the fall-out from Chelsea's game against Tottenham in November.

A lot of people thought I was racist to Ledley King and a few other Tottenham players - and I'd never be that way

John Terry
The centre-half was shown his second yellow card after a clash in the Spurs penalty area, prompting accusations he had made racist remarks towards Tottenham defender Ledley King.

Terry said: "It was my first sending off of my career. I'm not that type of player. I used to play Sunday football with Ledley King.

"It's disheartening. At the time of the incident I got loads of text messages on my phone after a lot of people thought I was racist to Ledley King and a few other Tottenham players and it certainly wasn't the case.

"I'd never be that way. People who know me as a person know I'm not like that."

606: DEBATE
Your views on Terry's ambitons

Terry claimed after the game that referee Graham Poll gave him conflicting reasons for sending him off with a second yellow card and was charged with improper conduct.

He initially requested a personal hearing with the FA but later accepted the charge.

"Sometimes it's easier to do that [accept the charge] rather than go to the FA and [get your] picture in the newspaper," he said.

"Sometimes you admit things you don't feel inside."

my mistake, sorry john, you loveable tyke you.

my main problem with him is the "Shearer" syndrome- woe betide any ref giving a free kick against him just because of a little elbow/stamp three or four times a game. don't you know he's the ENGLAND CAPTAIN?

Racist incident:

Game against Spurs, Terry had a clash with (boyhood friend) Ledley King and got sent off (referee lated admitted it was a bad decision). Then as Terry walked away a couple of (black) Spurs came charging in, causing a kerfuffle. Spurs fans claim that the players did this cos Terry had called King a 'coon' and the proof is that no black Chelsea players came to Terry's defence (even though they did).

If you look at what happened, the Spurs players only get angry cos one of them barged Terry and Terry then bounced into the Spurs player in front. King is nowhere involved and nobody does or says anything until the Spurs player has a pop.

Unfortunately, all the clips hae been taken off you tube.

Anyway, then an email started doing the rounds saying that Rio Ferdinand's book talked about a current England defender who used racist abuse to belittle his opponents. Everybody said this must be Terry. However, Ferdinand's book actually talked about a non-international who had since resigned.It was a lie.

But a lot of people hate Terry and, you know, he looks like a racist, what being white and from the East End, nudge nudge, so the rumour spread.

x-post

The Nation printed the story that was doing the rounds without saying it was true or false.

He was a tosser as a kid, got his head sorted, got a lot of deserved praise, and promptly became a tosser again.

Yeah he always strikes me as someone who has turned into a wanker as a result of football, as opposed to someone like Craig Bellamy where it's ingrained in them

my main problem with him is the "Shearer" syndrome- woe betide any ref giving a free kick against him just because of a little elbow/stamp three or four times a game. don't you know he's the ENGLAND CAPTAIN?

so blame the referees ffs

um, what? for booking him, ffs

you're blaming Terry for refs letting him off the hook?

Terry doesn't elbow/stamp. he's not dirty at all. he just shouts a lot.

He can clearly be seen head-butting an opponent here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GEB-TYLMmQ

Knock on the 'ead, our Johnny wouldn't do that, he's just whispering in 'is ear

whispering sweet nothings about love and harmony between all races.

hes got that face where he looks kinda sad and upset a lot of the time. thats annoying.

was he the guy in the NOTW gettin sucked off by 15 yr old girls while his wife was pregnant? if so, why isnt this on his wiki godammit

Is the Terry-King incident on Youtube? I cannot find it...

John Terry has hit out at Emmanuel Eboue and claimed the Arsenal midfielder should have been sent off for the tackle that left him with a broken foot.

The pair clashed during Sunday's match at the Emirates, with Terry suffering three separate breakages as he challenged the Ivorian.

Taking the lead from team-mate Salomon Kalou, who suggested that Eboue had "deliberately" felled Terry, the England captain told The Guardian: "Tackles have to be made in this game and especially in a top-of-the-table clash like Sunday's at Arsenal, and I had to make the tackle on Eboue. I felt he left his studs in there and it should have been a sending off."

Terry has yet to comment on his jumped, studs-up challenge on a grounded Cesc Fabregas for which he was cautioned moments before being crippled by Eboue. Eboue, for his part, has apologised to Terry, insisting that he did not mean to harm his opponent.

There is still no official word on the length of time Eboue will require to recover from the knee injury he suffered when chopped down by Joe Cole in the second half. It's not thought that any Arsenal player accused Cole of deliberately injuring Eboue, or that Cole apologised afterwards.

So, been sacked.

was he the guy in the NOTW gettin sucked off by 15 yr old girls while his wife was pregnant?

Don't remember this, absolutely do not know where to start googling. Anyone?

This story is proof that there is a such thing as karma. Dude has been out being a dick and hiding behind lawyers when confronted, for 10 years.

This is no time for gloating, but:

Perturbed to see Terry streaking so fast up this list of England captains. Once he gets past David Platt, any number of unsuitable roles are his for the taking in his post-playing career ... It'll considerably take the shine off England's world cup victory next year if the iconic image turns out to be that oaf lifting the trophy.

― Ismael Klata, Sunday, October 18, 2009 12:22 PM (3 months ago)

oh no, Platt's been demoted - he was ahead of Terry when I wrote that

Would Rio lifting the trophy make for a more pleasing image?

Lots of common-or-garden dumbo racism but the one guy, tweeting under his name with his own face in the profile picture, who used the hashtag #lynching was some next-level shit.

But he reveals the Chelsea captain, who will miss out on Saturday's final after his idiotic red card against Barcelona, was not even supposed to be one of Chelsea's penalty-takers four years ago.

'Terry was not on the list. But because Drogba was out (sent off) we changed it because (Salomon) Kalou needed to be the fifth and then, because it was the deciding penalty, JT wanted it. He did his best. I thought yes (he would score). But JT missed and Anelka missed again and that was the end of the story. Finish.'

Arsenal stars use 'John Terry' as code for ugly girls, says Wojciech Szczesny
Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has risked angering new European champions Chelsea, by revealing Gunners players refer to ugly girls on nights out as ‘John Terry’.

The 22-year-old shot-stopper, who was giving an interview to the Polish version of Playboy, admitted the Blues skipper’s name acts as a code word when one of his team-mates wants to escape from an awkward situation with the opposite sex.
‘At Arsenal it [the name John Terry] is another word for an ugly girl,’ said Szczesny.
‘If there’s a girl around that we don’t really like, we use it as a smokescreen, as in: “Have you seen John Terry recently? He’s terrible. I recommend this, it really works.”’

That case a few years ago, when Terry was acquitted on charges of bottling someone? He only got off because one of the key prosecution witnesses would have admitted to breaking the terms of his parole had he testified, so he refused to testify. I know this because a friend was a barrister on the case.

so he only gets a 4 match ban ,less than Suarez. What a joke.

BBC's sports news correspondent Dan Roan on the BBC News Channel:

"One of the first questions many people will ask is why Terry ban is so much less - half the length - of that handed to Luis Suarez of Liverpool last year?

"Terry has been found guilty of a similar offence as Suarez. We await the written judgement, which will no doubt explain the difference."

Answer: "He's English not one of those cheating foreigners."

John Terry has refused Football Association chairman David Bernstein's attempt to shake hands at the Champions League trophy handover.

Bernstein stripped Terry of the England captaincy over allegations that the Chelsea skipper had racially abused Queens Park Rangers' Anton Ferdinand.

While Terry, 32, was cleared in court last July of any criminal wrongdoing, the FA banned him for four matches.

"It's a difficult one for me. He spoke about me in the court case," he said.

At a ceremony in London to mark the end of Chelsea's year as European champions, Bernstein shook hands with Terry's Chelsea team-mates Bratislav Ivanovic, Fernando Torres and Petr Cech.

But, when asked by Sky Sports News whether he had followed suit, Terry replied: "No."

Last September, just before the disciplinary hearing started which would ultimately lead to him being banned, Terry quit international football and accused the FA of making his position "untenable".
