BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks on the BBC News Channel: "I'm not surprised. The Terry legal team have mounted a very sophisticated legal case. They've won it. What they planned as far ago as April has come to fruition; he's been cleared by the courts."
More from BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks on the BBC News Channel: "Bruce Buck, the chairman of Chelsea, has just said John Terry can go back to training and playing football. That's true for now, but this saga is not over for Terry. He's still under investigation by the Football Association based on what he's admitted - saying those words.
"The FA need to decide if he's broken any of their rules - ungentlemanly conduct, bringing the game into disrepute and so on. I'm afraid for John Terry this is only half-time. This is not over.
"No-one knows when the FA will do anything, but we have an Olympics round the corner. The world is watching this saga and it's an unedifying spectacle. I'm sure the FA will want to put this to bed before the Olympic Games start."
More from BBC Sport pundit Garth Crooks on the BBC News Channel: "Industrial language is used across the length and breadth of the country. No-one's naive enough to think that footballers don't get involved in that sort of exchange.
"But what's key here is what took place in that exchange, what was involved. Now it's the FA's test - do they think John Terry should have said those words in any exchange."

he would have more credibility if he criticised ferdinand for
his provocation of terry
but following on from clark carlisle's comments this morning it seems that there is a lot more to this case.

THE ONLY TV. PUNTER WHO CHEERS WHEN ARSENAL OR CHELSEA ARE GETTING BEAT
Said all this with one hand in the air, wearing a black leather glove
Garth Crooks: "Many fear that it will take us back to the dark days of the 1980s when racial abuse was rife" do they really ? name the many
Donny Osmond - what were clark carlisle's comments, please?
It's worth checking out his team of euro 2012 on bbc website. Hilarious
carlisle said if terry was found guilty he should be sacked by chelsea
surely he should have waited for the verdict ?
surely he should have waited for the verdict ?
i dont, there was no need to make such a statement when a verdict was imminent
he didnt make any provision for any other verdict or comment by the magistrate
seems like a witch hunt to me

has he still got the largest cranium in the world ?
Thre's been no need for loads of people to make a statement on this matter - hasn't stopped them (us).
It's just show business after all
It's just show business after all
it is very political it is all about shutting up any criticism of black culture, gangs, crime , attitude to women etc etc etc
it all helps to silence the critics
they were queuing up to slaughter terry and they failed this time
but still the witch hunt continues
looks like mr crooks needs to look at himself this is reverse rascism
but i blame the refereeing of football
they allow bad behaviour on the pitch and have done for decades
ferdinand was as bad as terry

Carlisle fronts a BBC Three documentary called 'Is Football Racist?', to be aired on Monday night, and was shocked by elements of what he saw during filming.
Among the problems he encountered were highly-gifted South Asian players being denied opportunities because of their ethnicity and the limited opportunities open to black managers.
The 31-year-old, who has played in every division of English football, believes a quota system would begin to address the issue.
"I do like the idea of quotas for the application process, not just for coaching or managerial jobs, but for all positions that are available within the structure of football," he said.
"That would definitely be a pre-cursor to addressing the levels of diversity.
"What was also apparent was that the young black footballer didn't feel as though anything was being done about incidents of racism.
"We need to address our processes in dealing with incidents - reporting mechanisms and sanctioning.
"When it comes to scouting young players I don't have a solution, but it's something that needs to be looked at so that clubs are encouraged to embrace their ethnic communities, especially Asian."
Several current black England players were contacted by Carlisle to give their views in the documentary, but all refused to speak out.
"We didn't get a real answer from players about why they were so reluctant to talk," Carlisle said.
"My personal opinion is that they don't because nobody wants to be seen to be a troublemaker by stirring things up or to be perceived as a militant activist.
"Professional footballers earn fantastic wages but their average career span is only eight years.
"You're not going to stick your head above the parapet, even if your perceived apprehensions are founded.
"If they're worried it will affect their career, why would they rock the boat?"

Both JT & Suarez were subjected to horrendous personal abuse before the retaliation which seems not to matter.
Suarez,by Evras admission was called his sisters **** which started the spat! YEt that is of absolutely no relevance it seems.
Abuse is abuse, be it a matter of race or some othe insult. YEt it seems not. Abuse is only ifit is racist apparently. Utter joke.

Yep. Add to the fact that Evra admitted absuing Suarez's hispanic roots
