Magistrates cleared him of racial abuse a while ago yet the FA (investigating the very same case) have found him guilty. Confused..? Join the club.

Yes, I care.
Different offence.
The FA apparently took the view that using the words on the field of play was enough to be an offence, and they don’t have to go with “beyond reasonable doubt” as a standard of proof. It’s just the same as at work if you are sacked – it only has to be proved on a balance of probabilities.
Don’t know if it’s fair or not. Terry gets a fine and a ban on that standard of proof, and people lose their whole livelihoods on the same basis.
Funny old world.
