John Terry grabs Mackie by the throat 06:22 - Sep 17 with 5968 views | thisismyengland | I didn't see this incident myself during the match, and it clearly escaped the ref. But there is a pretty damning picture in one of the tabloids. This incident (with the pic) is covered by my latest blog offering, which is a fairly light-hearted and disgracefully biased account of Saturday's game: http://thisismyengland.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/qpr-0-chelsea-0-consider-yourself. | ![](/images/avatars/5492.gif) |

Ashley Cole saw the whole incident and told the FA it was ok. | ![](/images/avatars/2211.gif) |

very different incident though isn't it. Terry is holding off Mackie, the same way Nelson held him off for the non penalty. Cisse did a face grab after a bad tackle on him when the whistle had gone, completly different. far be it for me to stick up for that loathsome scumbag but this seems a bit pathetic | ![](/images/avatars/1922.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I'm thinking back to the bits and pieces of football I played at school and in my twenties and am struggling to think of a time I ever needed to hold off an opponent by putting my hands to his neck. The chest, yes. Tangled arms, for sure. But hands up to the neck? I don't remember ever doing it or having it done to me. But, as I say, I never played the game that much really. | ![](/images/avatars/5492.gif) |

I did it once a couple of seasons ago, unbelievably the ref gave the other team a free-kick, shocking decision | ![](/images/avatars/3276.gif) |
