Apparently, even though he is banned from playing, IF Chelski beat Bayern, Terry will not only be given a winners medal, he will also be allowed to 'lift the trophy' according to BBC Sport: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17860112.

I never thought I would support a foreign club over an English one...............but..............come on Bayern!!

    Joke of a decision, if he was banned due to yellow cards amassed then it would be understandable. But his behaviour on Tuesday was thuggish and he should not be let anywhere near the trophy.

    I want to see Chelsea stuff Bayern and Terry lift the trophy. He is the captain of the team and, like it or not, all the players love, admire and respect him ... also, it will shut out Pardew's men from a Euroleague spot should they finish fourth.

    After Terry has lifted the trophy, I next want to see him, Cahill, Cole and Lampard doing the business for England in Polukland
  • Will he be able to watch while Phillip Lahm lifts it?

    Do the players love, admire and respect Terry?

    He is a decent defender, not a bad captain but quite frankly a terrible person who has no morals and behaves in an irresponsible and immature way on the football pitch.

    Footballers may not be the best role models, but Terry's behaviour in the last few years (on and off the pitch) put him firmly ahead of the majority.

    he's a footballer, not an MP, Vicar, Paragon of Virtue or the Pope .. and as for being worse than 'the majority' .. IF that is so .. so what

    That's your opinion Lincs, but he is a racist, cheating thug who does not deserve the honour of playing for England OR lifting a trophy which his behaviour has compromised Chelsea's chances.

    His behavior off the pitch is distasteful,but on it?
    Him kneeing the chap was stupidity not career threatening.
    Should Chelsea win the final,he should take a step back and allow the appointed captain to lift the trophy. I won't be holding my breath though.

    I would rather he was not the captain of England.

    I would rather he did not represent England. We can do better than him.

    Stupid. He would be the 1st to lift the trophy without even playing the match! The arrogence is shameful. Chelsea beat Barcalona at the Nou camp with 10 men for over an hour. They were heroic for their fans after Terry the idiot put them under immense pressure. The chelsea captain on that day should just say F**K off John.
  • I'm sure it's been said somewhere else, so forgive me for bringing it up here, but why are the racist allegations case being left till the end of the season rather than straight away?
  • I'm not surprised, he led the team through the rest of the tournament, i suppose its kind of against the idea of being banned, but, again i'm not surprised.

    As for the morality issue... Personally think it wouldn't be a bad idea to ban anyone accused of racism from the England team. Could set a very good example and reinforce the "football against racism" theme.

    "Suspended Terry can lift trophy", say Uefa.

    Not sure why Bayern Munich would want him joining in their celebration...............................

    They had better keep a close eye on the trophy.

    All they are saying is that he 'can' lift the trophy....not that he will.......I guess that's yet to be decided.

    I'm not even sure I can get behind England with Terry in the team. I want to see England do well, but I will not allow myself to 'sell out' to that guy. I pray he doesn't even get the option of going anywhere near the European Cup (for Abramovich's sake as much as anything else).

    Terry is one of the most despicable people to grace a football pitch. I find any defense of the man to be wholly depressing. Sad emoticon.

    Wanted Bayern to win anyway - just an extra reason.

    For all the hatred for Terry he certainly has the backing of both England and Chelsea players.....so there simply 'has' to be something about the fella that is likeable.

    I would say he only has the backing of around half the England players to be fair

    Yeah, it seems unlikely that any of them will come out and say what they think of the guy. Unlike, say, Craig Bellamy!

    The bloke is a top top prick, there is no denying that. But when you play football, everything else for that 90 mins goes out the window. ive played with plenty of people ive disliked off the pitch...but if they was getting grief on it, id help them out. As a captain, he must rub off on the other players and they look up to him/respect him. Only in a football sense of course.

    If Chelsea were to beat Bayern (and if they set out to play the way they did against Barcelona I sincerely hope they do not!) and John Terry were to lift the cup there is not one Chelsea player, member of staff or fan (or any real football fan as opposed to keyboard warriors who froth at the mouth and take to the internet forums the second a member of the current list of pantomine hate figures commits an indiscretion) that would begrudge him that because they all know that if it was not for his superb performances for Chelsea in most of the previous matches in this season's Champion's league Chelsea would not have made it to the semis never mind winning it!

    haha I said that defense of the guy leads to a sad emoticon! Not sure what else to say - I think it's really odd that people still defend the guy... I don't get why...
