I'm sure he will get found not guilty anyway.
I'm surprised that the maximum sentence for this is a fine. The maximum sentence for most things seems to be prison, although in many cases its rarely ever used of course.
The exact charge must be a relatively minor one, given that we have seen that guy on twitter and that woman on the tram both getting sent to prison.

They could make him pay the fine AND the costs.
To be honest I don't care much about what the sentence is. The cost of him going to jail would be even more anyway. Would just like to see what the reaction would be by the FA, media and Chelsea if he is convicted as a racist.
How much would the costs be? These fines should possibly take into consideration how much money the defendant earns.
No idea but you often read about people getting a fine and having to pay costs too. Depends on how long the trial is I guess.
There was talk of means tested fines a few years ago. Not sure if it came to anything or not.
As I said though, surely it doesn't matter a great deal what the court punishment is should he be found guilty? It would be the potential affect on his career that would be the real punishment
I don't think its within a judge's power to ban Terry for 12 matches to be fair
The trolls are out early today
You started it.
Theres little point in comparing the two cases, given the very subtle differences that people will inevitably gloss over so their persecution complex can remain untouched.
Well, 2.500 to 40.000 is a bit of a difference dont you think?
Lets just wait to this case is over and see what the FA do, then we can start discussing, or trolling or whatever you call it.
But feel free to point out the the differences. That would at least give me, who hasnt bothered to much with the Terry case, a better understanding.

And that wasnt the intention either. It just bizzarre to me that the maximum penalty is a 2.500 fine.
As I said in another post lets just see what the FA do once this case is finished and he's found guilty/not guilty.
The Court has a 98% conviction rate
Still not convinced at all. He'll get off.
Or of he does get convicted the FA will say "he's already been punished ". Ultimately I'm going to be dissatisfied with the result, regardless of how suarez was treated
Well it will be interesting if he doesn't get off. He's certainly being caught on camera and I guess a lot will depend on Ferdinands witness testimony. I do reckon the FA will apply the Alan Shearer/Neil Lennon clause i.e. come up with some bullshit excuse the FA will be more than happy to swallow although it flies in the face of the obvious evidence.
