The John Terry Appreciation Thread

Ive seen a few people say Terry had struggled in the game, I thought he was comfortably our best defender on the day, even after being exposed a few times. I dont understand anyone saying he was out of his depth.

He was a little rusty due to a lack of playing time this season, but he was no worse than most other players on the field.

 
Had a look at the red we appealed for JT, it looks like a straight red tbh but when you slow it down, at the time he takes out the forward Ivan is just goal side by a hair, whether he could get there or not is irrelevant because technically JT isnt last man, did he stop a goal scoring opportunity in light of teh face ivan wouldn't get there, maybe so, still had a lot to do, not sure the benefit of appealing that. 

 
The appeal has been rejected:

John Terry will serve a one-match suspension with immediate effect after his wrongful dismissal claim was unsuccessful, following an Independent Regulatory Commission hearing.

The Chelsea defender was sent off for denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity during The Emirates FA Cup third round tie against Peterborough United on Sunday [8 January 2017].

Well, I wasn't expecting this. SSN are reporting that Bournemouth have enquired about taking Terry on loan until the end of the season.

 
Highly doubt this. He's out of contract in the summer and there's been no movement in terms of a new contract yet. If he isn't offered a new contract he may well decide to call it a day and will want to finish at Chelsea

That was my thought can't do him for last man only other option was denying a goal scoring opportunity, he would have likely got a 1 on 1 with Bego so it's not the worst decision, we would want it given if it was against us. 

 
The appeal was really wishful thinking, most would find difficult to argue against the ruling.

I reckon there's no chance he will go to a small club for the sake of playing a few games. He has started he's happy as long as the team is winning, a true legend!

 
Terry loves Chelsea, there was no way he was going to waste what could be the rest of his Premier League career fighting relegation / playing for a mid table finish over possibly winning another Premier League title with the club he has been at since he was a kid. 

Terry even said last season that he would never play for another Premier League club. He's one of the only players these days that is loyal to their club.

 
I don't think he'll go because he'll want the chance to win another Premier League medal (though I think he'd already have met the games played criteria) but I don't see anything laughable, wrong or disloyal with him leaving on loan to a club 9th in the Premier League and not a rival at all.

There is no games criteria anymore, clubs get a set amount of medals they distribute amongst players and staff.

 
It's an insult for them to ask someone like JT to join their two bob organisation. He's way too good for them.

I saw on Teletext that the club has appealed the red card.  Rightly so, in my opinion.  As I saw it, JT slipped, but never actually touched the attacker, who jumped and fell anticipating a collision.  In my mind, it was not even a foul, let alone a card of any colour.  For it to be a foul, there must be intent, or reckless disregard.  Slipping over because you try to turn too quickly doesn't encompass either of those situations.

Finally, the main thing that convinces me of my position is that the w**kers on FACup MOTD all said "yep, bad foul, last man, deserves it for just being JT, had to go, should also have been a penalty anyway, CFC should forfeit the match, weren't plucky little Posh unlucky?".

Are you back in 1980 YB?!

Those were the days, following football results on Ceefax & Oracle and waiting for the page to refresh!

You talking about Bournemouth? That's a bit harsh - decent club with ambitions trying to build something. And unfortunately, as much as a legend JT is at CFC, his days of being "too good" for smaller clubs are over.
