Former QPR star Sinclair backs Terry, insisting: ‘He’s not racist’

[EYR]

Next time you see Trev down Loftus Road dont forget to shout 'Oi Trev you fcking black #####,im not calling you a black #####,you fcking black #####',im sure he knows your being not racist.

[QPRDave]

Not a racist even though he made a racist comment? Does that mean a man is not a wife beater even though he beat his wife up? Or indeed a man is not a rapist even though he once raped someone

That's called Physical Education, they'll soon learn!!!!

I'll give you some physical education with my wide admin belt on your buttocks for "jokes" like this :yush:

[QPRDave]

##### swine!!
It was only a joke!!! I take it you're joking?

[Ric-Roc]

He's not!!

[QPR Richard]

Sorry, but I won't have a word said against Trevor, regardless of whether he's right or wrong about JT. He's a decent bloke.

I once took my football team to LR for a stadium tour. I asked Trevor if he would come along to have a chat with my players about life as a pro footballer. I wasn't sure if he'd turn up, but he did, straight after training. He was brilliant with the youngsters and stayed for quite a while. Even today, he remains a hero to these lads who are now in their mid to late 20s because he took time out for them.

For that reason and because I thought he was great for QPR, he remains a hero to me as well.

Trevor is probably still gutted that Sir Les was sold and therefore didn't get as many assists as he should off.

I've called someone a fat c*** before but I have nothing against fat people. So it depends on how u look at it. A racist has a genuine hatred for other races etc. terry is not that, he made a stupid comment and should be punished. The label of racist will stick and he only has himself to blame. But he's not a racist

I've always wanted to know where I can apply to join this Brigade. I've never found its website, HQ or application form.

Careful asking intelligent questions like that or you might get the thick, racist brigade on your case...

I understand exactly where you are coming from, i was given two parking tickets by the same traffic warden in two different places even though there were other cars for him to choose from, i used a racist word (more in anger, he could have been any colour really i was more because it was a traffic warden) the police were called and because of a witness i was prosecuted and fined and have a record for a verbal racist attack.
I am not a racist but did use it at that time in anger, unfortunately i now have to live with people calling me a racist even though i most definately am not.

Spot on.

Too many people jump on the 'Racist' band wagon. I bet Terry genuinely does have lots of black friends and is not discriminatory in his behaviour towards black people; he is guilty of being bloody stupid (as if that's news(!)) and could well end up with some form of sanction in this f'd up crazy PC world we live in now but I bet he isn't TRULY racist. Sticks and Stones and all that... (and no, I'm not defending the use of the language, but he is guilty of being stupid and little else in my eyes).

A few years back, I was playing football in Salisbury and kept getting kicked by a tall, stupid Centre Back. I called him a Scots **** and he pointed this out to the ref, so I said: 'sorry, you're right, you're still a **** though'.

Anyway, no-one is pointing out the irony in that EVERYONE calls our Irish 'keeper Paddy; some might call that racist...

That's his name, of course they wouldn't. It's like calling someone Dave instead of David.

How you can even begin to compare it to calling someone a "f****** black c***" I don't know!

[stan_bowles]

LOL at all these people calling people 'fooking black ####'s',but then claiming 'but i am not a racist'.

What a crock of shite some people talk.

If you are not racist then why the need to add 'black' to the 'fooking ####' insult?.

[QPR_NW10]

taking this into a wider context than the fat turd that is JT...

not everyone has the same mental capacity. Some people, such as autistic people, take things very literaly. A student at my school once said "why do they always cause all the trouble?" ..."Who?" I ask..."the black girls!"
This kid had no idea what he was saying could be deemed as offensive: it could be inteprated that he was saying "all the black girls cause trouble". But to him, he was merely saying that this particular group of girls, who are black, often cause trouble. He was simply, in his mind, picking out a similar trait that he could use to describe them.

I'm in no way saying that JT is autistic, but please be aware that not everyone in the world has the same mental capacity. To simply assume that everyone is able to think with our degree of thought and intellect is, IMO, naive.

As for my opion on JT - he's a racist.

[stan_bowles]

I agree,he is far too fooking retarded to be classed as autistic.

Next thing he will claim he has tourette's.

He has already come out with that the pictures were only showing him saying 'I did not call you a fooking black ####'.

Racist.
