http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=75095313John Terry has categorically denied making a racist slur against Anton Ferdinand during Chelsea's West London derby defeat at QPR.
Videos have circulated on the internet in the aftermath of Sunday's Premier League match at Loftus Road, with some claiming the footage shows Blues
captain Terry insulting Rangers defender Ferdinand using racist language.
But Terry said tonight in a statement issued to Press Association Sport: "I've seen that there's a lot of comments on the internet with regards to some video footage of me in today's game.
"I'm disappointed that people have leapt to the wrong conclusions about the context of what I was seen to be saying to Anton Ferdinand.
"I thought Anton was accusing me of using a racist slur against him. I responded aggressively, saying that I never used that term.
"I would never say such a thing, and I'm saddened that people would think so.
"I have known Anton for a long time and spoke to him about it after the game and there was no problem between us.
"I congratulated him on their win. He has not accused me of any wrongful remark.
"It was clear it was all a misunderstanding at the time.
"After the result today, I am saddened to be dealing with these wrongful allegations.
"I am the proud captain of one of the most internationally diverse teams in the Premier League and I absolutely believe that there is no place for racism in sport and indeed in any walk of life."
QPR declined to comment when contacted on Sunday night.0 -

At first I thought there was nothing in it and that he did say ''blind'' rather than ''black''. However, Terry himself has admitted he said it, the only thing he's denying is the context in which the word was used. Terry claims he said it in denial so for example ''I didn't call you a black cunt''.
You've got to laugh at Villas-Boas claiming that people should believe the words of someone who represents their country. Footballers have proven themselves to be so trustworthy, haven't they? :rolleyes: So we should also trust the likes of Carroll, Cole, Rooney, Crouch etc - all of whom are either adulterers or have criminal convictions, some even both. There's many more who have super-injunctions out at present too.
Hopefully Anton pursues this, Terry has had one case of racist abuse swept under the carpet already but there's many people that know exactly what went on there.
The FA have a duty to ban Terry or else it makes a mockery of the Show Racism the Red Card campaign along with many other initiatives that have been used to help clear racism in our game.
If it was a member of the crowd who had racially abused someone they've be convicted without question. I'd also suggest that if it had been a foreign player rather than an England player that the FA would have him banned already.
Sadly, because this is John ''England Captain'' Terry the only place I can see this going is:

Because you know for sure what context it was said in.0 -

Usually I like your posts and always give time to to read them , but this utter rubbish.
The Anti Terry bandwagon is in full flow.
Firstly he plays in a team made up of all different races , dare I say we would be up there with Arsenal for the mixture of races we have in the squad and there has never been an issue of this type before with any of his own players.
Secondly Ashley Cole was stood beside him when , you are hardly going to be throwing that type of abuse around with one of your own colored team mates stood beside you.
Thirdly , the issue was raised by someone on the internet and not the player himself .
You are being Judge and Jury in this case , when he is cleared I wonder will you come back and apologize ?
If he is found guilty of the offense , he should be shown the door from the club .
I honestly dont think he is guilty , I know he is not the brightest but in the wake of the Evra storm I cant see him coming out and being that stupid.0 -
