They have taken a lot of stick since they posted that front page letter. They have deleted several discussions about it and have been removing comments from other discussions that are negative towards the echo.

I noticed that. Have they not got the strength of their convictions?

What are you suggesting Janey? You are looking into what / if scenarios. What are you arguing against? SAFC were given police interviews where Johnson admitted knowing the age of the girl when kissing her and they are given the content of all the text messages. Its fact, undeniable (and it hasn't of course by SAFC) and the account of one of the most established and well though of QC's in the country.
Asking why SAFC didn't sack him is a question only they can answer but it doesn't alter anything else.
Neither can they knowingly lie in court.

Tbf he's only replying to someone who misinterpreted something.
She said she handed them over immediately, even the speediest reader in the world would struggle to read all of those documents if they handed them over immediately. See this is part of the problem, people picking out only bits of the information to suit their agenda while not accepting the bits of information that don't suit their agenda.
That's not aimed at you directly by the way, and I've said myself I have no idea of the truth of the matter because I wasn't there as was nobody on this board.
But in not being there and in there being so many uncertainties on both sides of the debate I'm willing to give the club the benefit of the doubt, rather than the bloke that has systematically lied for a year and who has now been found guilty of sex offences against a child.
I believe that might be a backronym where the name already existed and someone's tried to fit initials to it
I don't remember saying he'd lied, quite the opposite, that doesn't mean they can't be economical with the truth to suit their argument.

But he wasn't sacked and he got a very nice goal against the local rivals, that's all the great majority care about. Are you whiter than white or black and white?

Loads of men cheat on their pregnant partners. Yet another sad fact of life, and far more likely to happen, than you'd think.
This all day long.
The funny thing is those who are protesting the innocence of the club and not wishing to comment until they fully know the facts (the QCs remarks and fact sunderland never refuted them seemingly not being enough to convince some) are the same ones who'd be whooping and hollering from the rooftops if this was our nearest and dearest rivals in this situation.
It's an awful situation and the club just haven't helped themselves it seems.

He's a total misinterpretation in himself and he's not the only one.
I used to love it too, loved it when I was off school poorly snuggled under a blanket on the settee watching that. I'm showing me age too

I've just tweeted Chris Young to be fair he replied but it's been re-tweeted a few times and has also got some support. So far I think the tweets are still there.

There's no way that a clever QC plays the game fairly. Its what sets them apart from the less successful ones, and why they can charge such huge fees..
I think he may be referring to the initial court case last year, though I must admit I've not followed this case particularly closely, nor am I any kind of legal expert.

Surely it's a simply denial or yes they did in fact have the information?
