JT texts Milner but no sorry
John Terry has sent his England teammate James Milner a text message following his horror tackle on the Aston Villa winger during Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley – but has refused to apologise. According to reports, Terry sent the message to find out if Milner was ‘OK’ following his studs up lunge which could have left the 22-year-old with a broken leg. Furious Villa manager Martin O’Neill labelled the tackle “horrendous” after the game, won 3-0 by Chelsea. Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti didn’t agree. Said Ancelotti: "I saw the tackle on the television. John touched the ball before making contact with Milner. I know that Terry called Milner and, for Milner, it was OK. I think the decision of the referee was right. It was a yellow card. The rules say that, if you have the intention to touch the ball, it's not a red card.”
