What a thoroughly charming person you are, your parents must be so proud:rolleyes: Seems the consensus of opinion in the UK is that JT got just what he deserved so luckily your attitudes are in the minority. JT even shagged Orlaith when his wife was pregnant - what a gent! And he's got a major fraud charge to answer next week! (waits for shrieks of "it's all lies I tell you":joker:) Oh and by the way Bridge and several other team members told Capello they had lost all respect for JT and didnt want him as captain (The Sunday Times today). Or do you only believe news stories that support your version of the truth? Seemingly though, even if you acknowledge its all true, you don't think any of it matters??? No wonder this country is in the sh*t.

I don't and I wouldn't. You should never look to mould your life after someone else, Take inspiriations from their proffessional lives yes (I look upto a lot of people in my own field but I don't live my life by them). I'll tell my kids exactly the same thing, carve your own path in life.

It is about what Terry represents. As captain he represents the FA, the sponsors, the people who buy tickets to watch the team. He represents the manager.

The people above do not want this immature, poorly educated, spineless cheat as their representative.

that message says to kids, dont become a pro footballer or we'll hound you and dig up dirt about you, you will live life like an amateur monk or have your personal life in all the main news stories and judged by a nation who dont even know you.

Footballers, celebrities and the media aren't responsible for raising your children and if they can't tell that cheating ain't right by themselves sorry but you've *****ed up majorly and no amount of scapegoating of John Terry is gonna fix it.

He's a footballer at the end of the day that's all we should care about, would you stop shopping at a shop because the owner had an affair? Would you stop going to a hairdresser because he had an affair? You wouldn't so why is everyone being so contradictory here?

I reject the whole idea of role models, you can't model your life on someone else because no one is perfect and plus it's such a messed up ideal at a basic level. I can understand admiring someone on a proffessional level but expecting them to lead their life with no mistakes is *****ed up.

I'd love to know who's gonna take over really, will it be prostitute loving Rooney? how about that pair of sex tape stars that is Gerrard and Ferdinand? All the team's done wrong so anyone who takes his place for me will be a contradictory decision.

Either way shaking up the team like that, we can forget about the world cup again. Thanks interfering blame shifting parents and trashy tabloids!

whats he done to you, that you are so upset about? does his affair really affect YOU that much? so much so that you want him lynched?

get your head out of the clouds, and come in to the real world

WHY should I care what some footballer does off the pitch? It doesn't affect me in any way and I'm not nosey enough to give a *****. As long as he breaks no laws he can do what he likes and I won't care, it doesn't change my life in any major way and neither does it yours. NOBODY in the England team is a role model, very few footballers are. They've all been involved in scandals so excuse me If I don't see them as role models. I'm not sticking up for him I'm just saying I don't care about him off the pitch.

After all that vitriol you've aimed at me for having an opinion, well you must be a paragon of Humanity.
