Absolute joke verdict. Deliberating whether he meant it as an insult? Well it wasn't a fucking compliment was it?
Fuck off you black ****!

s'OK, I said that in a sarcastic manner. You can't get mad, bro. BURN!

Presumably racial abuse from supporters is ok now, if arrested just say you were being sarcastic, job done!

The difference is that the Club can still expel you. They would probably not call the police.

Well, I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel most unsatisfied about the entire affair.

Don't worry, Hodgson is sticking with Stevie "king hits people in the back of the head" G as his brave leader of convicts England.

To clean up the sport, maybe the Refs should start carding any abusive language they hear on the pitch.

Despite clearly mouthing it he is given a not guilty verdict! Causes so much s**t but walks away from things scotch free. Cannot believe the success he has had.....totally does not deserve it.

And run the risk of being glassed or having their homes firebombed taking "bants" out of the game?

I wonder what will happen when the first physical assualt (come on, bound to happen sooner or later) take place on a football pitch. Hope it involved both Terry and Gerrard. It will be the most sarcastic punch up in history.

"No, your honour, I ironically tore the flesh off his face with my teeth. I meant him no actual harm."

Money > morality

I wish I could say I was surprised but we all knew this would happen. So does this mean people are now legally entitled to call Anton Ferdinand a black ****?

Wonder how many judges are now going to get defendants faced with damning evidence against their indiscretion claiming whatever they did was sarcastic.

"This CCTV footage clearly shows you mugging this old lady."
"Yeah, but I was only sarcastically mugging her."

Not what the judge said.... " The noise, confusion and lack of lip-reading evidence the crux."

Just look at the sarcasm etched on his face!


TBH, it looks to me like he's saying "Yeah...yeah...fing black c...fing nobhead" - which would be far more like batery behaviour than "I never said fing black c", which is the type of thing advisers would tell him to claim he was saying, after the trouble erupted and they viewed the video evidence. But, if the experts insist that from the start of his lip-movement, continued as Ghastly ran in front of him, that is what he is saying, who am I to argue. But he doesn't look like he is being sartcastic, far more like he knows he is saying something that will wind Ferdinand up more than what erdionand is saying to him - the whole purpose of banter.

not surprised.

and the press wonder about our appointment of AVB. what decent manager (AVB. Ancelotti, scolari) can survive for too long with a dressing room full of pricks, racists, and cheats. If half of that chelsea team never made it as footballers, they would be in prison.

I don't how one doesn't deem those words to be an insult.
