Last time I checked, captaining the England national football team was a privilege, not a right.


Quite so young Andrew but having had that priviledge bestowed, to have it removed for disciplinary reasons
whilst he still remains an innocent person is both unjust and unfair. Had that priviledge been removed because he had proved to be a poor captain or leader, then I would agree.


Sorry John, it's a regular occurance for people to be suspended from their job pending a court case facing allegations that are pertinent to the job. Indeed, often the suspended person is banned from entering the workplace and forbidden to communicate with their workmates, apart from their Union rep. Apart from that, if JT had been a teacher, even if found innocent, it would be on his record and that record would be available for any future employers to look at.

Just last week a Govt. minister resigned because he was facing a criminal charge. Similar to terry in that he's not been found guilty of anything yet.

Years ago Dave Jones lost his job as Southampton manager when he was facing child abuse charges. He was found innocent but, even so never got his job back. Southampton were in the Prem at the time and he's never had a similar job since.

No, there's nothing special about Terry's situation.

All this "innocent until proved guilty" stuff isn't as simple as it sounds.

I'll take that Lev but it still doesn't feel right to me.

This lad is incredible, did anyone saw that he played with Stoke?

After they said he is out until may, but then after a miracle, AVB is sacked and Terry is fit 100%.
