Adam Johnson Trial Verdict

Not open for further replies.

Not sure if this has been posted or not but it's a pretty damning indication of Johnson and his whole attitude.

 
This is a great forum. This thread and all the harking is just further embarrasment for our club. Lock it ffs.

Ive spoke to 6 or 7 Sunderland fans [real ones, not tragic wet fannies on a message board] since the guilty verdict and none of them have been foaming at the mouth at the club funnily enough...

Wake up for fucks sake - what's embarrassing is that the club knew what he'd done, and decided that they'd prefer to stay up than do the right thing. People are annoyed about it. If your mates don't care, you probably need new mates.
 
It was known he was accused of it. That is the issue.

The PFA are just there to assist AJ, who knows what their 'opinion' was, and who cares? They're on AJ's side.

and the legal advisors?

Maybe Byrne would have contacted you if she'd known of your extensive legal experience, taking notes in court.

He's determining who is real Sunderland fans now too.

Pathetic

Aye it's been mentioned - that he is waste of skin is not disputed. He's being dealt with. The issue now is what the club have done.
 
There's this thing called remorse and moral integrity. Admittedly pretty unfashionable these days in a society that values selfishish gain over everything else, but there was nonetheless the option of Doing The Decent Thing rather than committing a sexual offence on a minor then continuing on in the protection and employ of a job providing a multi million pound wage. A job at minimum wage in the same circumstances would be at risk, yet he earned more than most will do in their life as someone fully aware that they were a sex offender. It's hardly something to be blasé about man, if you have any interest or investment in the concept of justice.
Justice was not the topic I was discussing, that was administered by the judge and jury, I was stating that irrespective of the nature of the crime committed, no one would own up to their Employers about being guilty for a crime that hadn't even gone to court.......unless you are self- employed sing trader of course, then you probably would confess
 
BBC article describing PFA's commitment to support players with their personal integrity following the trial.



Is this really a issue of personal integrity I'd have thought personal integrity related to turning up late for training or paying up after losing a bit of cash to your team mates after a game of cards. But grooming and sexual activity with a child?

PFA have a lot to answer for in the case engulfing our club at the moment - and in most major player scandals over the past ten years. Defending the undefendable of a bunch of over paid, over adulated individuals from every walk of life,,,,when in reality they shouldn't. Makes a mockery of people, clubs and places they represent in return of protecting the rich and stupid.

PFA you are embarrassing.
 
I'm utterly bored of it and the same points being made over and over and and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

Other threads are available.
 
Why do people keep saying it wasn't the club's place to ascertain guilt? Nobody said it was.

This is about a club being provided with information that at the very least rasies eyebrows about the conduct of one of it's players and given the current climate regarding child sex offences, the club should have taken him out of the public eye.

I can't believe people don't see how bad this makes us look.
