Terry has lost captaincy, according to unconfirmed reports.

[Quinlad]

The right decision?

[Sandy-Wroe]

Isn't Stevie G the chap who would give you a kicking if he didn't like your choice of music? He's hardly a role model either.

[Ankou]

well he was always 1st reserve, so it makes sense.

aparently wayne bridge has refused to play for england whlst john terry remains in the team. lets hope terry shags emile heskeys missus before the summer.

[smudge]

Yeah, I thought that was rather petty too OEV!

[craft1948]

Well the poll being taken on the BBC site indicates that 76% agree he should have lost the captaincy......or even captainship........

[craft1948]

a defender who scores as well............

[Gromit]

Terry will be on the same team, pitch and dressing room as the other players regardless of whether he is the Captain or not. The argument that the others players will have lost respect for him is phony. If they have, how can he go to the World Cup?

[Ankou]

to keep him away from the wags who have been banned from the england world cup camp.

[LoftyLottie]

Tend to agree with Vibra on this.

[smudge]

Ditto vibra!

Now let's see.......role models....that is what we are looking for.....isn't it?

Gerard...Duffed someone up in a Southport cafe.........got off though.
Ferdinand ...missed a dope test..he was looking at furniture and forget. ? involved in a
"Gang bang"..allegedly
Lampard.....dumped his wife while shagging someone else.

Rooney....had a taste for prostitutes. Too ugly to have an affair LOL

Beckham....shagged Loos...I would have too if I was married to Posh.

Avram Grant....not a contender, but visits brothels.

The Geordie hero died some time ago.......Bobby Robson...had an affair.

Come on England, stop this moral hippocrisy.

[Sqad]

steve...no.....then what?

[sir.prize]

Read it elsewhere - Ferdinand serving three-match ban for violent conduct!

Just the guy for England captaincy?

[cazzz1975]

terry losing his captaincy will make no real difference in the team, capello is just responding to pressure from the public to be seen to do something about this situation. It will blow over. I would rather see wayne bridge out of the team than john terry.

//I think Oneeyedvic has it spot on.
it's not about punishing him for cheating on his wife and being a poor role model. It's about whether his teammates will respect him after letting down another member of the squad.
And if Capello thinks they no longer do, he should replace him. If it had been some random stripper, things might be different.//

I agree. I'm pretty sure Capello's made the right decision for the right reasons.
