On the 23 October, John Terry was caught on camera blatantly screaming a racist expletive at QPR's Anton Ferdinand. Whether he had racist intent is open to debate, but the available evidence was/is definitely persuasive enough to warrant an FA charge...or so you would have thought. For two days after the incident, the England captain was the subject of major controversy and recrimination, and the FA was besieged with public pressure to charge the player. Then, just as things were reaching boiling point, a 'member of the public' emailed a complaint to the Police. How frightfully convenient.
In one fell swoop, all the pressure on the FA dissipated; it was no longer their responsibility, and they were gifted the welcome excuse of not being able to charge Terry as a result of the Police investigation.
As I said, how convenient.
Who was this good Samaritan who reported Terry to the Police? I've spoken to Hammersmith Police and they (predictably) wouldn't provide any details at all, but I expected that.
This is just personal speculation, and is not based on any known or presumed fact but what if it was someone at the FA (or someone connected to the FA with a vested interest) who reported Terry to the Police?
Is this so far-fetched? I don't think so. How much effort does it take to send an anonymous email?
To be clear: I'm not suggesting that the FA as an organisation would actually sit down and sanction such a thing (!), but perhaps a rogue employee who went under the radar in a misguided attempt to 'help'?
Consider the following:
* In the entire history of football, no top-flight player has ever been convicted of racism.
* If John Terry - the England Captain - was found guilty of racism, the damage to the FA's reputation would be immense, especially after they allowed him to be reappointed as Captain after other high-profile indiscretions.
* If Terry was found guilty, it would basically confirm that racism *does* exist in English football, something the FA clearly doesn't want to admit.
I believe the potential strategy here is obvious:
* Report Terry to the Police anonymously so an investigation is triggered
* Hope that the Police decide not to move forward with charges.
It's a gamble, but it's probably one worth taking because the FA wins whatever way you look at it:
* If the Police decide not to charge Terry due to 'insufficient evidence', the FA will then have the perfect excuse to follow suit and refrain from filing their own charges. They would have a legitimate reason too: how can we charge him if the Police found no evidence of racism?
* If the Police decide to charge Terry, then the FA will have no choice but to charge him too, but it will look like their hand has been forced by the Police (as opposed to the FA taking unilateral action themselves, which is what they should've done in the first place).
I have absolutely no doubt that the Crown Prosecution Service will ultimately decide that Terry will NOT be charged, which I believe has been the FA's hope all along.
Someone still needs to burn though; the FA still needs a sacrificial lamb to show the world that it is actually tough on racism.
No prizes for guessing who that is going to be...
NB. I posted an article a few days ago showing how one of the Suarez-Evra disciplinary panel members had close links to Man United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. Since then, I've been contacting the FA on a daily basis, requesting that they explain how/why they chose someone potentially biased to sit on the panel, but so far they've refused to comment.

Why doesn't somebody complain to the police about the supposed suarez comment? Thus taking it out of the f.a's hands. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteSorry but what do you expect Old Red Nose Decides what goes on at the FA, A.K.A For Alex.
ReplyDeletei think your only part right, your definately getting better and to think i couldnt stand you, why you go at it like an ex sky reporter.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Liverpool don't have a scheming mindset like the FA. Also, unlike the Terry incident, there was no evidence to present as the subject of a Police complaint.
ReplyDeleteI agree completely. Guess what the F in F.A, stands for?
ReplyDeleteThe FA are clowns and nothing proves it more than this case they said tuesday why have we not heard from them.I also think your doing a great job with this case thanks
ReplyDeleteAnother way to look at the Terry saga is Terry has just been set up by Anton, Why would he not then ask one of his friends to mail in and make himself the victim gaining so much support and his brother given back the captains armband before the next euros. Terry has stated all along that he was just replying to something Anton had said.. I really hope that the new evidence uncovered last weeks shows that and in turn Anton is given a ton of grief and a ban for all of this.. maybe the Sun or some other cheap newspaper can then hack in to his phone and tape the conversation of him saying to his brother sorry bro but i tried for you.
ReplyDeleteRe: the person with close ties to SAF, not sure why you are contacting the FA when they have already made it public exactly who is on the Suarez haring panel and their specific background. Rather than trying to act like a secretive detective with conspiracy theories just read the paper, the info is all there: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/8957294/Luis-Suarez-racism-hearing-reputations-at-stake-as-panel-attempt-to-unravel-most-complicated-of-cases.html
ReplyDeleteI imagine someone who has been in the game for the best part of 50 years probably knows anyone who is worth knowing very well especially on the legal side of things....
so to recap. the whole world of football, spearheaded by the fergie, is Hell-bent on destroying our beautiful football club, and Suarez has done nothing wrong, in this or in the Fulham incident. In fact Luis Suarez has every right to call a black player, negra/negrito or whatever it was. Get a grip.
ReplyDeleteUsually your articles are just silly and irrelevant, this is just x-files conspiracy stuff.Here´s a thought, and obviously this is just personal speculation: Could all of this be orchestrated by former owners Gillett and Hicks, in cooperation with the S*n. Add to that the many harsh refs in our games, this season, i´m guessing they are all in on it too. also it would seem that with all uprights we´re hitting the goal itself must be exchanged for one ever so slightly smaller. But hey, this is just my theory, yours is good too...!!!
Tuesday is not over yet and i'm sure you well know by now, the FA have done just that. Eight games, though it will be probably go down to 5 or 6 with an appeal i reckon but though there is the swearing issue that hasn't been dealt with yet.
ReplyDeleteThe Police have referred the John Terry case to the C.P.S. They do this when they are confident of a conviction.
ReplyDeleteIf found guilty, he will go to prison. That being the case, I doubt Chelsea will be as lenient as we (Liverpool) were last time one of our players was put away - Mourinho/Abramovich SACKED a player for failing a drug test.
If Suarez is found guilty, unless J.W. shows us the size of his balls, Suarez will get three months paid holiday. Liverpool suffer, not Suarez.
The law is the law. Being hauled in front of the F.A. is akin to being sent to the headmaster. The F.A. has no power. The F.A. is trivial.
Y'all need to get over this paranoid obsession with Man U, by the way. Dya think Rio Ferdinand really gives a shit about the captaincy? He'll count himself lucky if he's even in the England squad the way his fitness has been.
Also, John Terry has previous. If Fabio had done his homework, he would have found that the only player in the squad 'clean' enough to be captain is Fat Frank.
Petty comments like these make me laugh and goes to show how neanderthal football fans are.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you were making the same comment when Mellor and Gerrard got off free, whilst the Ferguson Association gave Scholes and Rooney bans.
8 game ban????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a f***** joke
ReplyDeleteI know, tell me about it.
ReplyDeleteIt should be more.
Very lucky boy.
Well at least we can enjoy Andy Carroll more now ehLovely jubbly
Biting and racism, yet he still hasn't got a criminal record. Footballers are lucky.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely world we live in where millionaire footballers are made to miss a few games and a paltry fine for them, instead of a criminal record. Yet people still moan about their so-called punishment.
Take it on the chin lads
Hmmm. We'll see how 'lucky' he is. The speculation in the U.S. is that J.W. wouldn't be so tolerant if he was found guilty. Don't be surprised if the Villa game was his last for Liverpool.
ReplyDelete8 match ban............................joke, didn't think I could hate the mancs more..................I was wrong
ReplyDeleteJust reading Suarez's is mixed race his Grandad is black!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely disgusted I am. No, not at the FA.
ReplyDeleteI'm ashamed of this fellow Liverpool fan on twitter:'I hope #MUNICH happens again and Evra's head fucking rolls like Duncan's fanny head you fucking inbred shithouses'
oh dear
ReplyDeleteBloody hell. What are you like eh.
ReplyDeleteNo evidence to prove and still punishment. What a justice!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTake them to European court
This has nothing to to do with Bacon Face.
ReplyDeleteMore to do with the Suarez using racist terms I suspect there is more to this and something must have been presented which was definitive.
The message is simple if the fans can't use racist language neither can the players.
I'm uncomfortable now as a Black person supporting Suar
By the way, IF we get through the 3rd round of the Cup, his first game back would be at Old Trafford!
ReplyDeleteBased on the official statement, even the club doesn't seem to understand it was a lip reader and the United staff that made the prior accusations, not Evra.
ReplyDeleteIts like some cowboy/diy statement.Because I take it they didn't get the statement checked with the legal team and the common sense team, considering the tone and wording of it.
Even though I love Liverpool, this is a poor statement and expected better professional standards from the club. Feel ashamed.
Seems like the official statement was made in the heat of the moment. Quite silly for a PL club to do it in such a manner. Its not forum. Its a statement. Should have put out a more restrained statement initally and let time do its thing, before putting out another. Instead, they have reacted in a rash and unprofessional manner, with that statement.
ReplyDeleteNot been impressed by the way Liverpool have acted throughout the process.
Bacon Face???????
ReplyDeleteI agree. I expected to see at most that they would review the case and take the appropriate action along with a condemnation of racism.
ReplyDeleteBased on what I have read regarding the alleged statements, I would terminate his contract.
Obviously, we are not privy to all the evidence.
Racism is not acceptable, regardless of who makes the allegation and who is alleged to have committed it.
I thought we might have seen the end of the bullshit when we got rid of Benitez?
Baggies, stop talking shit
ReplyDeleteShit? Because I dare not to kiss Liverpool's backside and view everything they do through rose-tinted glasses like some of you lot on here?
ReplyDeleteI apologise for not talking the kind of shit that people want on here.
so you're not impressed with the way Liverpool have handled themselves, why not email their PR team and explain where they went wrong. I am sure they will invite you to the appeal so you can explain it all. That is of Liverpool Football Club and their fans need a shitkicker like you expressing looking down his nose at them.
ReplyDeleteThe problem is in Europe,USA and Asia these places aren't used to living with different races where in Uruguay and South America different creeds seem to live together without the prejudice and why certain terms can be used because there are few white people living there and South America is a far more multicultural socitey then the rest of the world.
ReplyDeleteThe FA have been told by FIFA to crack down on racism hard, even if there is nothing to back up one claim against another. On the one hand they cannot dismiss an allegation like this, yet is it right to hand down sentence like this without semblance of proof? If there is conclusive proof show it and allow Liverpool FC a chance to accept the findings and move on.
ReplyDeleteEvra used where Suarez was from as an insult is that okay then?
ReplyDeleteJJ TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU THAT THE EASTERN EUROPEAN FANS RACISM IS MUCH MUCH MORE SERIOUS.
ReplyDeleteTRUST ME WHEN ENGLAND PLAY IN THE EURO CHAMPIONSHIPS NEXT YEAR 2012. THAT BLACK PLAYERS WILL BE ABUSED BY THE FANS IN UKRAINE AND POLAND.
I HOPE THE F.A. SHOWS THE SAME LEVEL OF RACIAL AWARENESS THAT THEY HAVE EXACTED ON SUAREZ.
I EXPECT THE F.A. TO MAKE SURE THAT IF THERE IS ANY RACIST CHANTING TOWARDS BLACK PLAYERS IN THE ENGLAND TEAM ...THAT THEY WALK OFF THE PITCH.
IT TIME TO FORCE UEFA AND FIFA TO DEAL WITH THE REAL PROBLEMS.
terry was blatantly reported to the police by a trouble-making fan looking to "get" him. if it backfires & he escapes the ban he deserves (as you point out he may very well do) that fan will feel awfully stupid.
ReplyDelete& @ simpleman: passing a case onto the cps isn't what police do when they are confident of a conviction. it is what police do when they are finished investigating a complaint. they hand all the evidence over to the cps & they cps make a decision whether or not to proceed; whether the case should be brought to trial or whether further investigation is required or whether the case should be dropped entirely.
Part of the FA RULE E3In the event of any breach of Rule E 3(1) including a reference to any one or moreof a person’s ETHIC ORIGIN, colour, race, nationality, faith, gender, sexual orientationor disability (an “aggravating factor”),Ethic origin? Didn't Evra use Suarez's ethic origin has a slur against Suarez has if there is something wrong with being South American!FA need to read their rule book!
ReplyDeleteWhat exactly makes this panel, other than Paul Goulding, qualified to make such a decision that is, in reality, little to do with football? Surely in cases such as this it should be referred to a more authoritative body.
ReplyDeleteFA are idiots!
ReplyDeleteHanding a racism ban by a racist body (FA). How can you stop racism when it's in the nature of humans? To pretend that this doesn't exist is hypocritical. Also the double standards treatment of Terry (who will get away with this) and Evra (who slanderously throw racist remarks to Suarez first before the latter retorted) just tells you how inconsistent the FA is. If FA wants to really stamp its authority on racism, be consistent. Ban Evra for his "south american" remarks and ban Terry for this "black" comment.
ReplyDeleteI told you guys earlier that FA is run by a Mafia headed by fergie.
ReplyDeletei hope bellamy breaks the lying cheating frogs fecking legs next time we play manure unitshit,
ReplyDeleteYou need a job kanwar to keep you busy. apart from that ... what do you really want ... should players be charged over racism or not ?? You defend Suarez but go all out on Terry already branding him a racist when nothing of that sort has been proved. What if someone genuinely complained. Aren't you undermining their respect and dignity. what do you know, eh?? Just by mailing a couple of people who will either not reply or will give you some rhetoric bullshit, you think you've made your point. It doesn't work this way. Facts win you cases. Conspiracy theories don't. I was surprised not to see Fergie's name wasn't mentioned. Hey !! here's an idea - what if fergie called emailed the police, you just to save Terry and rile pool fans. Lets face it - thats all he lives for, isn't it ??
ReplyDeleteI would very much prefer to see the positive side of this unfortunate incident. Now, we can truly judge if the donkey is worth £35 million.
ReplyDeleteNow that is one hell of an elaborate conspiracy. Even assuming the Ferdinands could master all that on their own too is beyond me as well. Plain and simple, the FA are just as their referees are, too cowardice to make a decision on their own.
ReplyDeleteWhat I don't understand is how a play can break another
ReplyDeleteplayers legs by going over the ball and I out for over 12 months he gets 4
weeks but someone alleged makes a racist comment that cannot be proved beyond
reasonable doubt gets 8 weeks + a fine now you tell me who is racist especially
after what the England captain was caught on TV saying SHAME ON YOU ENGLISH FA.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. Liverpool have told us that it was one mans word against another. Do you think Suarez is racist. His grandfather was black. He was captain of the Ajax team. Even your Evra himself said he isn't racist so in my opinion he overeacted to what Suarez said in the most heated and anticipated match in the country. Disgrace? What the hell do you know. I expect more compassion from people on both sides, not that I think there should be any sides to begin with you biased prick.
ReplyDeleteWe cant have racism in the game.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever Suarez said really rallied Evra, and he isnt one with a notorious temper, he was very pissed off and has no reason to lie does he.
I just hope the same punishment is applied to the England captain, both were racist lets face it
Why would Ferdinand and Evra lie, Evra even came out and said he didnt think Suarez was racist, if he was truelly trying to screw him he wouldnt of said that.
Black guys watch football too and all should be respected
2 things firstly terry has 2 receive a longer ban,his case is a no brainer if not suarez and lfc take fa to court over discrimination.Secondly evra what gos around comes around you are a marked man,and am sure you will get your just reward,just hope its at anfield with 40 thousand people there 2 laught
ReplyDeleteWhat I do know is that both clubs can veto anyone on the panel if they dont want them to sit on it.
ReplyDeletePlease provide evidence or a source for this. How do you know that?
ReplyDeleteSent from iPhone
The FA have opened the biggest can of worms now :)
ReplyDeleteIf LFC take this legal then the FA have absolutely nowhere to hide.
How will the FA defend themselves with no witnesses or clear evidence regarding Evra vs Suarez? How did the panel decide that Suarez is guilty?
Let the motherf****** burn for once and for all and take Evra and the mancs to the cleaners too while we are at it for making a mockery of what has been absolute bullsh** IMO. The FA and whiskey nose need to be dealt with and I can bet Mr Henry is not going to take this lying down.
jas you idiot how can you call Evra a marked man, he was verbally abused and complained and now he is a marked man dont be stupid.
ReplyDeleteThe only people who are going to suffer from this is the Liverpool fans because they have got to put up with having Andy Carroll upfront for 8 games and there best player by a country mile will be abused at every ground he goes to from now on.........the one thing I have to say is Suarez is a plonker and doesnt seem to know how to control himself.........I bet every centre back in the country is going to wind him up from now on. Nothing the petulant reaction they can expect from the guy.
Dont get me wrong great player but he needs to start putting the ball in the net before he gets the respect he feels he deserves 4 goals is not enough players like Morison, Ba, Graham, Fletcher, Yakubu and Klasnic have more goals than him
And theres a reason he is 63rd on the PPI (Players Performance Index) because he spends too much time messing about on the pitch with his antics
you just used the term "black guys"... that makes you as racist as Suarez! its alleged he said "Porque negro?".... basically he called a black man, black! thats how ludicrous this is!
ReplyDeletereferring to him as 'donkey' would indicate you've already made your judgement lol
ReplyDeletethe club have publicly backed him! don't be a spanner
ReplyDeletehere here
ReplyDeleteShaka the FA haven't made a stand against racism they have picked on a minority group! Making a stance would be charging British players with racial abuse.
ReplyDeleteThis all seems strange when you consider the fact that evra admitted making racist comments to suarez as well as accusing the ref of booking him because he was black...... Playing the race card which evra has previously done on more than one occasion which in my book is every bit as bad as racism itself yet no charges against him at all.....If the FA really want to stamp this sort of thing out they have to be more consistent so surely evra has to be banned and fined as well as anybody else who gets found guilty in the future of this or indeed playing the race card.
ReplyDeleteNo baggies, our glasses are tinted red.
ReplyDeleteThere's a difference.
Sam Wallace
ReplyDeletein this country discrimination is only if u coloured nothink else matters,no one else matters as proved by kick it out when they done a article saying suarez should say sorry to evra 3 weeks ago with no evidence,who are they to take sides,the fa should ov come down on them but did they no.feergie has a comment on suarez that the papers jump on and alot of other fans did they sort it with him no,somebody shouts at ref is he blind for not giving a foul does fa jump on it no,someone says rooney fat the fa nothink,fans sing about shelvey being bald the fa nothink,fans sing suarez plays like a cripple the fa nothink,so discrimination if your blind,fat,bald,or disabled doesnt count the fa only want to no if your coloured they make me sick.what makes racism more important the fa or kick it out cant give me a answer yet
ReplyDeleteThat is not evidence. Please provide a link to the FA rule that states that. You won't find it because it doesn't exist.
ReplyDeleteso like like u say take it on the chin its not a choice
ReplyDeleteif u uncomfortable how do u think suarezes grandad and family feel as the grandad is black,as evra said in his statement he doesnt think suarez is racist does that not make u think there is somethink wrong.
ReplyDeleteur a manc thats why
ReplyDeletewell terry has just been charged with racism by the cps that might throw a spanner in the works if the idea was to exhonorate him
ReplyDeleteThe FA are just making sure their beloved Salford Hoof will finish top of the league.
ReplyDeleteTerry has been charged
ReplyDeleteRather miss a few poxy football games, than get a possible criminal record and a few games ban.
Again, a very lucky Suarez
Biting and racism, still no criminal record.
Lucky boy indeed.
Interesting article Jamie, I have a couple of dilemma's caused by this FA verdict. Racism is a criminal offence and so it should be.
ReplyDelete1. Because he has been found guilty by the FA, legally does this mean he has a case to answer in the criminal court, can criminal charges now be brought by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)?
2.If the CPS cannot bring criminal charges then Suarez is in effect innocent and that means he has committed no offence, which in turn poses the question how can the FA find him guilty of racism?
3.If Terry is found guilty by the CPS he must surely never play for England again and also get the 8 match ban and fine. Terry's case is much more clear cut as there is video evidence.
My own opinion is the offence he was accused of is incorrect, maybe he was guilty of unprofessional conduct and that is what he should have been charged with, but he is not a racist and to now be labelled as one by the FA is outlandish. We can now only imagine how such a label will effect Suarez, one thing is for sure, the opposing fans are going to make it very difficult for Suarez whilst he remains in English football.
A involved party may make a challenge under the FA rules, depending on fulfilment of criteria I think from what I have read, if that is the point Sam Wallace means. Comes under the Judicial Panel bit, I would assume but i'm a novice, so better off asking the FA.
ReplyDeletedo go ahead and contact the FA please, like you have done before, in relation to Sam Wallace's article.
Well Old Kanwar has been aching for a footballer to be sacrificed on the altar of appeasing the great god of self perceived racism. Happy now ,Boy ?
ReplyDeletehow bang on the money where you JK!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the FA are dictatorial and unreasonable. If you replay the EPL tapes you find out that all Managers and coaches say the F.... word and other things about million times. Should they also be punished. We are not in a KG school. We play football and I understand the Anti-racism campaign and I support it fully. But when it comes down to a football game or any sports competition whatever is said in heated discussion on the pitch should be resolved on the pitch as Blatter said before. I think he made a mistake by apologizing and backed down to keep his job...
ReplyDeleteHow can you say that,ferguson blamed liverpool "drip feeding the media "in predjudicing the case,he is the root of all of this,and that little shit evra has been trying to stich up anybody as racist if you dont agree with him,LFC have handled this case in a more responsible way than the fa and that prick ferguson
ReplyDeleteI was having a chat with someone about this Suarez-Evra situation earlier today and the reaction and subsequent fallout. This guy has worked in South America for years said something interesting that I never really had thought of. He said he what Suarez said is like when we call someone blondie over here. He said that's just how they talk to each other out there, they even got different names for different shades and there's no racist overtones because there has never been the historical slavery issues that went on in North America and Europe. He said that the FA are basically calling the South American culture racist, how egotistical is that, to judge a whole continent ?!!!?
ReplyDeleteBecause they are a real multicultural society! Not just a bunch of different bunch of nationalities cramped onto an island trying not to be racist to each other black,asian or white!
ReplyDeleteThe British Empire cannot accept the atrocities that it committed against the people of Africa over hundreds of years, so they feel like they are redeeming themselves by attaching taboos to trivial words. REAL racism is what England and America did to Africans, not words between footballers in the heat of a game. It doesn't matter what they want to label other societies, because the whole world knows who the real racists were and ARE. Waving flags, wearing t-shirts and banning footballers does NOTHING for real racism.
ReplyDeleteNo. In the FA there is no grey. It's all black and white. Someone is in the wrong and someone is in the right. And as everyone knows, two wrongs don't make a right.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he is. It will be no time now before ALL forms of cheating are eradicated from the game.
ReplyDeleteThen don't support him. Support Evra.
ReplyDeleteOr the entire incident happened inside Evra's head. No witnesses. Even players standing two feet away from them in the area heard nothing.
