Na. I did join in with the "there's only one Adam Johnson" at Hull the day after with 90% of the away end though.

The memories from December 2014 were still fresh in everyone's mind :cool:

Didn't say that did I? I was responding to the claim he took the piss out of the club when the reality is he's solely responsible for some of the best days of my life

Of course he took the piss out of the club. Fed them a load of lies, never mind using his stature within the club to take advantage of a young fan. Also when the police came knocking he ran to the club asking for help, shame they didn't tell him to fuck off and deal with it himself.

He's been made an example of. At the end of the day, the judge has the power to do pretty much whatever they want, in accordance with precedents.

I also thought he would end up with a suspended sentence on top of having to pay a huge compensation to the girl.

They don't though. These days they have fairly strict sentencing guidelines.

And surely any "huge compensation" would need to be awarded in a civil court.

A lot of interesting reading in the guidelines here, it appears the judge had little choice in the length!...

Doing my nut in, I`m certain I read on sentencing that as he`d pissed around court by pleading innocence for so long he lost any chance of early release!
 
Punishment was OTT (but to make an example and to act as a detterent). No chance will thst get reduced, especially with the other abuse stuff coming out about football. Needs to just get on with it.

Am I right in thinking he cant get out early either.

6 year man. Wether you see it as fair or not that'll feel like eternity.
