Petr Cech believes that everyone needs to "move forward" from the John Terry racism trial and claims that on-pitch insults are part and parcel of the game.

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has admitted that spectators would be "very surprised" if they heard what is constantly said between players during a game.

The Czech Republic international learned of his club captain John Terry's acquittal from a racially-aggravated public order offence last week following a five-day trial at Westminster Magistrates Court.

Terry stood accused of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers centre-back Anton Ferdinand.

"We need to move forward, forget about the past and concentrate on the future. That is the only way," Cech told Sky Sports News.

"If every player had a microphone some people would be very surprised about what gets said on a football pitch. I think football always has been, and always will be, the same.

"You have a lot of adrenaline, a lot of joy, a lot of frustration. You cannot really take this away from the sport. You live the game for 90 minutes, 100% focused, and you want the game to go your way, and sometimes the frustration or the happiness makes you swear and do things like that, but it is okay."

Meanwhile, the Football Association could still take action against Terry, despite the ruling of last week's court case.
