You seem to be a bit thick so I'll keep it simple for you.When did he apologise for calling a fellow professional "a fucking black c***"?We won't ask again, knock off the insults.I'd rather you moderated the racists than those of us that oppose a racist. But... I consider you a friend. And I don't want to put you in the awkward position of having to ban me so I'll carry this on another time.

He denied it, because he's a racist. He's on camera saying "fucking black c***".Bantz?
Read the ruling through. He was not guilty due to a well constructed defence (not the first time clear guilt does not get prosecuted after a defence team work their magic), not because the judge considered him not guilty, and he called Terry's defence improbable. You are clutching at straws and I find your entire stance on this as pretty dire in all honesty. To essentially turn a blind eye to something because he would improve the team is not something I really want Villa to do to me. It is for them down the road. Not us. On a football side, he play 400 minutes last season and engineered his own send off after 26 minutes in the final game, which bookies reported to having take a flurry of large bets on in the run up to the game.

He denied it, so he's hardly gonna apologise is he? Crikey!

He denied it, so he's hardly gonna apologise is he? Crikey!Put yourself in the situation for a second, if you're accused of something and there's indisputable evidence showing you did it but with enough missing context to avoid a conviction, do you deny it outright or do you say "I'm sorry, it was a misunderstanding that got out of hand and I'd like it to be clear that... blah, blah, blah". The truth is a decent person with any sense of morality would do the latter, a pampered twat who thinks his ability to kick a ball makes him untouchable does the former.I've said before my issue with him is that I think his legs have gone and it's a Pires level mistake to sign him but I think trying to defend what he said in the way 2-3 people have on this thread is bizarre, the guy is quite clearly a massive c**t, if you think he's good enough and willing to overlook him being a c**t then just say that, it's a position you can defend without it looking bad on you unlike some of the arguments on this thread.
This still just doesn't feel right on a number of levels. On the playing side, it is still a very expensive gamble on him still having enough left in the tank for at least one more season of Championship football. I still view it as a risk not worth taking.
I never associated him with that sort of nonsense and I never would. We disagree on politics but I don't consider him a Nazi, FFS. Like I don't consider most of the Conservative Party to be Nazis. It goes without saying, though, that they have a high tolerance for racism. Good luck though to Pickaninnie Ads and his watermelon smile.

Good luck though to Pickaninnie Ads and his watermelon smile.SHQ made the point about people who have done far worse; drink driving and violently abusing women. I know of two Villa players who've done that. Somebody else mentioned personal experience because they've had a child.My family suffered at the hands of a drink driver with the most awful of outcomes. I still went berserk in Vienna when wee Barry scored. I'd go nuts if (indulging the hypothetical fantasy) Suarez came to score his 100s of goals.I'm not tolerating racism nor am I tolerating drink driving or offences against the person or pegging or any of the brief glimpses of good and bad we get at these people. People change, maybe they stay the same. Either way, I don't know or suffer any of them and I'd hope if they were to transgress in their employment, for whatever reason then appropriate action would be taken. I'm sure you were joking about the rest and if not oh well, people can think what they like.I think John Terry is a dick, but sometimes dicks fuck assholes and if they didn't, they'd shit over all of us. Fuck yeah.

Do you believe someone should be punished for their misdemeanours for ever?No. Just for the record, I don't want him punished. But I don't believe my club should make someone that has been guilty of that one of their highest paid players. Sorry if that wasn't clear.Well he was found guilty by the FA but not guilty by a court of law which suggests the racist thing isn't as clear cut as people are making out.
