England worried about racist abuse in Ukraine ...?

... but one of their own players stands trial for (alleged) racist abuse. Hypocrisy or what?

And another thing, why hasn't the John Terry trial happened yet? Is it so he can play in the Euros?

    Our courts delayed it so that John Terry could play during the Euro's. They won't admit it but everybody knows it. He's a racist man, and definitely should not be representing us at the Euro's- I don't want my child to think he is a role model. And why wasn't Rio Ferdinand called up? John Terry shouldn't have been picked in the first place, even if you are only counting how he has been playing, and forget about his racist, sexist, cheating ways.

    It's not hypocrisy at all, a man (Terry) has been accused of racial verbal abuse and is standing trial in a month or so. In the Ukraine all of the barrages of abuse players and fans of different ethnic background receive is thriving and the authorities do nothing about it, even claiming it doesn't happen. In a panorama documentary 3 asian fans were beaten up by fans of the SAME CLUB and the police just stood there watching it happen.

    Hypocrisy? not exactly mate

    J Terry is a tool.

    As for his trial, it's because he pleaded not guilty, therefore his case will get adjourned from the magistrates court to Crown Court. There is always a delay to allow both the defense and the prosecution to build a case.

    Once he gets found guilty (and he will) he will also face a ban from the FA. In effect he will get punished double. You see, here's the difference; in the UK we punish racism.

    A courageous question pdr and intensely theory frightening. it is an exceptionally arguable venture that truthfully knock some 'time bombs' over the sting yet i'll chat as i extremely experience regardless of recrimination. I see that there are 2 varieties of human beings, stable and undesirable, there are fence sitters and people who will arise and rely. i think generally that human beings combination immigration up with racism and then the complication starts off, sheep, listening and copying different ignorant comments. A fool might rush in yet a clever guy will evaluate. I have no venture with any race and can be ashamed if all of us seen me to be racist, there'll continuously be cultural adjustments yet they are able to be effective in some strategies, as i think of the Western international has had issues too common. I additionally think of identity is considerable, as in what your us of a stands for etc yet maximum critically interior your self. i think of additionally there's a clean age of concern interior the air by using danger of terrorism, which returned is being jumbled jointly with racism. maximum opt to stay and enable stay yet while it is going incorrect is while what's deemed as acceptable is misguided. on the tip of the day we are all human beings regardless of what we glance like and as long as we appreciate one yet another, there might desire to be no distinction while we glance interior the reflect...

    John Terry is one player in a isolated case of using a Racial slur in a heated moment in a football game.

    Ukraine is thousands of Far Right Activists in many group who use violence to enforce their views which are based around Eugenics theories and hatred of what they deem to be lesser races.

    I really do not think you can compare the two.

    Nothing proven with Terry (i think he did it and is a idiot) yet but the Ukraine and Poland are about 25 years behind when he comes to racism and male ego( they love nothing more than drinking and fighting similar to British males up to the late 80's). Anyone who has worked or employed Polish/ former Soviet workers will know they (majority not all) are extremely right winger bordering Neo Nazi's.

    I think they just know nothing about Ukraine and they worry about everything.

    The only thing they should worry about is their hats when they are near Ukrainian president because in youth Yanukovich was a criminal who stoles hats.

    yep, look at ourselves before getting high and mighty about other countries. spurs still get anti Semitic chanting against them but that seems to be ok and is ignored.

    look at liverpool as well, their players and fans all feeling victimised and think its ok to call other players ni**ers.
