Yes, I am that mod and notwithstanding the current situation I stand by my actions. I don't have an agenda to protect Ms Byrne, but one of the roles of a moderator is to protect this board from unnecessary friction. At the time I considered that your views were above and beyond fair comment, potentially inflammatory and that it was impossible for the board to substantiate those views. If I remember correctly, following similar complaints from you, I referred your observations upstairs and the decision was that the warnings were appropriate.

The reason I referred to your past history of criticism of Ms Byrne on this thread was simply to provide the newer or more casual member with a little context in which to read your comments.

Finally, I have to say that for someone with a supposedly legal background you don't half spout some unlawyerly rash bollocks.

:eek::eek: Holy shit, really?

Can you not see the flaw in arguing that it's not worth denying an allegation because you're going to get into a he said/she said deal? It's one thing to suggest that the club should make no comment about being accused of doing something wrong, but they didn't do that, did they? They issued a statement specifically to respond to allegations made during the trial (so it's worth responding to allegations made during the trial). They went to a lot of effort to refute "in the strongest terms" an allegation which they took exception to (so if someone has accused you of something which isn't true and could put you in a bad light, it's appropriate to refute it). They then decline the opportunity to even discuss the two main allegations which are getting them kicked all over the park. That's not just ignoring the elephant in the room, that's ignoring the elephant, and the massive f***ing brachiosaurus that's also crammed into the room, roaring loudly and teabagging the elephant.

Almost 200 pages and no one has a remotely adequate answer as to why the club has got itself into this position and is being smashed all over the shop in the world's press and the CEO being doorstepped by an army of journalists.

As I've said before, it's SAFC's name collectively that will remain clogged with the sick detritus, though.

mmmm you could argue we were under the cosh with DiCanio and his supposed Nazi leanings. That was shown to be an individual and not the club.

It would beggar belief that she would be the only person privy to information regarding Johnson within the boardroom, it just adds to a catalogue of baffling decisions that have been made and above all utterly incompetent with regard to football matters.

That's me done with it all if that's the case. And on that note I hope that when all those, and there were lots of the ignorant twats, who serenaded him with "he shags who he wants" up
until his final game grow up and have bairns of their own they never have to go through what that girls parents have had to thanks to the peado and Sunderland AFC.

If it comes out that SAFC knew of the kissing and grooming that's me done after 40 years of support. I've got 2 lasses of similar age to the victim and the thought that SAFC could have harboured a paedophile would be the finish for me. I couldn't stomach supporting a football club who chose to cover this up.

Have you cancelled your season ticket mate?
 
I tell you what after Johnsons guilty pleas I sort of felt sorry for him, not because I condoned it before anyone jumps on me, far from it,but because I thought you absolutely stupid, arrogant idiotic selfish twat, you've thrown all you had away for what? Simply because you could and you thought you'd get away with it.
But now I absolutely hate the bastard for dragging our club through this, because make no mistake he is the cause of this shit storm being created in the first place.

Hey, as I've said, I'm just making my own choices. In my own eyes, I can't separate the club from the decisions of its officers. Decisions were made in the clubs name.They have the responsibility and have, if proven, abused it.

Can't argue to much against that to be honest.
