Another idiot ffs , Johnson was found guilty ? This guy was eventually found innocent , was wrongly accused of s crime he didn’t commit but let’s just ignore that and call him scum eh ?
So would you take Johnson back or not?
 
His original conviction was found to be unsound and he was found innocent in the retrial. A jury can only return 'guilty' or 'not guilty'. You are basically advocating for everyone accused of a crime to be treated as less than innocent when they are found to be innocent of a crime. It is as if you are saying "Well we didn't get him, but we can still shun him".
No, I'm not. I'm simply saying that he wasn't "found innocent". There's no such finding in the laws of England & Wales, so far as I know. The possible verdicts of a jury are either guilty or not guilty, or the jury is unable to reach a verdict. I'm saying no more, no less.
 
That doesn't distinguish him from most players tbh ...

... Gascoigne is defended, to the death, by some people and there's no bigger tosser.

I’ve no idea why people constantly defend Gascoigne either.

You can be deemed innocent if you're acquitted I believe.
 
If he does sign I admit in advance I would get behind him Janey, I'd just rather the club not open itself up to the possible / probable grief.

There is no possible/ probable about it mate.

There will be a media shitstorm if he signs.

I’d be surprised if the clubs current owners actually sanctioned it regardless of his case being quashed or whatever it was.

Time will tell.
