So whats the bet we aren't going to hear much about the Man Utd fan who was arrested for racially abusing a Stoke player on Tuesday night?
Also, I've just read that no charges are going to be pressed against Stewart Downing...good news I guess

Seems like all of them actually.
Article I found says "players."

Why do people go and do stupid stuff like this?? Surely the whole thing with Suarez and then Terry, and then that retarded fan in the cup game at Anfield, people would realise that it's not ok to shout racist slurs/chants etc.
Sigh.

Yep. Hows this for hypocrisy:
1)Fan shouts racist abuse at players on Tuesday, has to be in court the following Wednesday.
2)John Terry shouts racist abuse at Anton Ferdinand (captured on camera) in October 2011, court date set for July 2012.

Yeah it's ridiculous. Also not sure why Terry can get his case adjourned to after the Euros but Redknapp has to have his trial during the EPL season. Seems unfair (guilty or not)

That's even worse then. Why have the case during season when they had all that time to prepare?

There is quite a bit of chatter 'bout Stevie replacing Terry as captain at the moment. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16876876

Silly imo. They should be looking forward and should perhaps make someone younger captain so they have stability in the future. Joe Hart perhaps.
Capello won't last much longer. New manager and a new captain will follow.
Short term Stevie is the obvious choice as long as he reaches some sorta form.
Long term Eng needs stability and Hart is a good bet.
Only problem is that Hart might play and have a few nightmare moments and get kicked out.

What about Lescott?

Yep, I prefer a CB as captain but I'm not sure I'll ever agree to with a Man U one.
Also, Lescott's just two years younger than Stevie...

Hmmm... let's think about this for a second. The witnesses in the case against fans are... fans. The witnesses against Terry are players. The players have just as hectic a schedule as Terry does so the judge didn't just think about Terry playing, he took into account the travelling of all the players involved.
Sometimes... just sometimes... it pays to think about things before you post.
Stealing money from government > being racist
Umm, the witnesses against Terry are pretty much everybody who watches TV, and as I recall it, it was a fan who actually pressed charges (I stand corrected on this one)

If it was just the TV evidence, then the trial would have happened sooner. As it stands, other players are witnesses (both QPR and Chelsea) and they have their commitments as well. I know Ivanovic was called as a witness and Cole. Not sure about other people, though I'm pretty sure there are QPR players involved as well. I mean honestly... if it was as open and shut as that... then it would already be shut.
