What's John Terry's private life got to do with being the England captain?. It's what he does on the pitch for England that matters, not what he does behind closed doors with a consenting adult. I'm not saying it's right to have an affair behind your other half's back but if you sacked everyone who's had an extra marital discretion you would have a hell of lot of people out of work. Do you suggest that Tiger Woods is banned from golf courses, Joe Calzaghe is not allowed on a dance floor again (maybe not a bad thing?) or Brad Pitt is not allowed back on a film set because of their discretions?. If he had been caught downloading child porn, taking drugs or behaved like Joey Barton i could understand it. In the past we've had Bobby Moore's 'alleged' jewelery incident during Mexico 70 and Tony Adams stay at her majesty's pleasure because of he couldn't steer his car after a few beers and they didn't do too badly in their careers. At the end of the day John Terry has only hurt his family and has got some explaining to do. He is still the best captain England has had for years. Who would you rather have as captain?, Rio (who conveniently forgot that he had to take drug tests), Rooney (who had sex with hooker old enough to be his gran), Stevie G (beats people up on film and gets away with it), Defoe (lots of speeding offences), Ashley C (shagging hairdressers and speeding again), the list goes on. If this country's press spent more time reporting on 'real' news instead of trying to sell stories for the brain dead (big brother, i'm a celebrity fans, etc) we might have a better society.
