The FA should have dealt with this MONTHS AGO!
Chelsea skipper John Terry has been banned for four games by the FA (Football Association) and fined £220,000 for his actions in the Anton Ferdinand race row case. The footballer has 14 days to appeal.
The FA released the following statement:
‘An Independent Regulatory Commission has today [Thursday 27 September 2012] found a charge of misconduct against John Terry proven and has issued a suspension for a period of four matches and a fine of £220,000, pending appeal.
‘The Football Association charged Mr Terry on Friday 27 July 2012 with using abusive and/or insulting words and/or behaviour towards Queens Park Rangers’ Anton Ferdinand and which included a reference to colour and/or race contrary to FA Rule E3[2] in relation to the Queens Park Rangers FC versus Chelsea FC fixture at Loftus Road on 23 October 2011.
‘The charge was the result of The FA’s long-standing investigation into this matter, which was placed on hold at the request of the Crown Prosecution Service and Mr Terry’s representatives pending the outcome of the criminal trial.’
Last week Terry announced that he was retiring from international football (good riddance) and then had the nerve to bawl about being “treated unfairly by the FA”.
Jog on John!
I bet shoe shine boy Ashley Cole is at John’s house now consoling him with hugs and cups of sweet tea.

If they gave him less than suarez I would have been vex. though they given terry a higher fine and smaller match ban.
So was the FA looking at a different footage to the one at the Magistrates Court? If you ask me John ‘Crow’ Terry deserved more than what he got!
LOL cups of sweet tea omg you kill me.
its funny how one court can find a different verdict…… what is actually going on? … what did this case bring up .. that the other case overlooked?
I can’t wait to read the detailed stuff. Apparently the CPS requested the FA delay their disciplinary stuff till after theirs
The monetary fine has not hurt him at all, it could only be a lengthy match ban for an offence ilk this. Suarez & terry were both on the same FA charge, its incredulous that he only received a four match ban, just one more than a regular red card. Even Joey Barton tweeted he would’ve been better off racially abusing the Man City players.
