| Quote: | Weighing all the evidence together, I think it is highly unlikely that Mr Ferdinand accused Mr Terry on the pitch of calling him a black errant hedge-born skainsmate. However I accept that it is possible that Mr Terry believed at the time, and believes now, that such an accusation was made. The prosecution evidence as to what was said by Mr Ferdinand at this point is not strong. Mr Cole gives corroborating (although far from compelling corroborating) evidence on this point. It is therefore possible that what he said was not intended as an insult, but rather as a challenge to what he believed had been said to him.
In those circumstances, there being a doubt, the only verdict the court can record is one of not guilty. |
Cole saved the day for Terry. |

if only we had a 'not proven' verdit in England.
I think the mature thing to do now, is to draw a line under it, and move on. But in the bigger picture, Football has got itself in a right mess!

| How can Cole's evidence be of any use? In the infamous footage the dwarfish irritant is seen walking into shot clearly not looking at Terry and therefore the incident. Because he hasn't seen him lynching any blacks? He likes Nina Simone? |

He can't tell the difference between the word Bridge and Black.
So how does he find his way to work at Stamford Black ?
