A duplicate John Terry has just appeared in the dock and started celebrating with the real one.

We'll see......
Well, he'll always be guilty of being a despicable human being.
Funny what a 'real' trail does compared to a kangaroo one eh?

Didn't QPR make their own complaint to the FA?
Trial even
I would be of the opinion that this verdict will absolve the FA ( in their opinion), from taking any action against Terry.

will he be made engerland captain again after his brave performance fighting for justice?
In fairness I think it's the right verdict given all the evidence and that. But the FA must be consistent now and ban him. Despite the flimsy evidence, there is still more evidence than the case involving us (I didn't mention LUIS SUAREZ) and he should get a similar ban and fine.
However, I won't hold my breath. In fact I'm 100% sure that's the end of the matter.

In the Suarez case the FA said that they didn't think Suarez was a racist but he used a racist term and therefore meted out the harsh punishment. Terry has admitted he used the racist term and should similarly face a long ban. Whether the FA choose the also ban Anton Ferdinand, if they believe Terry was just repeating the racist slur that AF had said, then they have to find evidence that Ferdinand did say it.
The FA are as inept as FIFA are corrupt.

John Terry trial: now the FA must act
Although the Chelsea defender was cleared of racially abusing Anton Ferdinand, what he admitted to should be censured. I first saw the incident of John Terry "mouthing off" on YouTube early on the Sunday evening. I knew Terry was in big trouble and immediately rang Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the PFA, and told him so. The way the hits were gathering pace on YouTube it was obvious a storm was brewing. By the end of the evening Sky News was showing the incident round the clock, and within 24 hours of YouTube's first broadcast, complete with subtitles, the Premier League had pulled it.
Now the court has spoken and the Chelsea captain has been acquitted of racially abusing QPR player Anton Ferdinand. The ordeal for Terry, though, is not over yet. The FA still has to consider one very important matter.
By Terry's own admission he accepts the words "fucking black cunt" were said. His lawyers successfully argued that the manner in which this was said was misunderstood. But I believe it was wrong of him to say these words under any circumstances – and though Terry has been found not to have committed a criminal offence, the FA must now decide whether the former England captain should be charged for contravening its own rules.
Players have been ringing me over the last 48 hours with major concerns over what a not guilty verdict might mean for the wider campaign against racism in football. Will the institutions push the anti-racism campaign further down the priority list? Many fear it will take us back to the dark days of the 1980s, when racial abuse was rife. In those days I was abused every other week on the pitch by fellow professionals – many of them household names who represented their country.
If the FA don't act on the undisputed facts, and find Terry guilty of bringing the game into disrepute, a lot of good people are saying to me that there's no point in getting involved in the game at a senior level.
Among the game's administrators black professionals are almost non-existent; and things are barely any better at the managerial and coaching level.
Some players have told me that a failure to act would only endorse what they have always felt: that black people have no place in this game other than as minstrels performing on a stage.
What would be the point, for example, of ever raising a racial complaint again? The "just get on with it" brigade would continue to duck the issue.
The real problem in the Terry case began once the FA failed to take immediate action. This lack of fibre by the governing body to act instantly when Terry gave them a statement after the verbal clash with Ferdinand, threw the entire procedure into chaos – forcing everyone associated with the game to either dive for cover or sit on the fence.
It may have appeared expedient to delay matters at the time but once the police appeared on the scene the FA lost control of the process and the dynamic dramatically changed. The football fraternity suddenly became polarised: the dinosaurs who felt it was no more than two players engaged in a slanging match; and the others convinced Terry had gone too far.
Anton Ferdinand refused to back down even though he came under intense pressure, with accusations that he was causing the national team unnecessary embarrassment. And his brother, Rio, who would have been a selection certainty for England at last month's European Championships, found himself dropped.
What football fails to realise is that there is an entire generation of black players who feel the game has failed them. They will not stand for abuse, from either players or fans, any longer. If the Football Association does nothing, on the evidence it already has, then the impact on the game will reverberate for years to come.

not really bothered terry was found not guilty, he shouldnt have been as there really wasnt enough evidence, if suarez had gone to court it should have been the same outcome. hopefully the fa will act against teryr now, but i doubt it to be honest, they'll use this as a chance to overlook the situation and worm their way out of responsibility
I haven't been following this matter, but didn't Ferdinand say he never, at any stage during the match, hear Terry call him a "fucking black cunt" or accuse Terry of racially abusing him? If that was the case, and the Chief Magistrate also finds that Ferdinand was a "believable witness", surely the issue he had to decide upon was whether Terry's excuse of "repeating an accusation" was plausible, rather than what words were used? He can hardly repeat an accusation if none was levelled at him.

Re Terry 3: judging by reaction of certain players already, Terry can expect some more on-field tension next season. Handshakegate again?

And Jordan Henderson has a 98% pass completion rate.
Yes but he did explain that quite reasonably😉 he may have mistaken the word "Bridge" for "black",
as Ferdinand had been goading him about his affair with Bridge's missus
Garth Crooks is one of the weirdest people to ever appear on television. A truly bizarre person. Anything he says has absolutely no credibility.
So Ferdinand had been saying something along the lines of "fucking Bridge's cunt"?

I'd always thought John Terry was guilty as charged. Then I realised I'd misread the word "rapist".

So you disagree with what he said in this instance?
