Adam Johnson Trial Verdict

[Kenna]

Did I read the statement wrong or did they only deny knowing Johnson was going to plead guilty and say nothing about the claim that they were told by Johnson he kissed the girl?

 

[Beaker]

Club have issued a very comprehensive statement. Well worth a read.

Comprehensive on everything but the questions people wanted answers to

 

[Dougal]

yeah i I started a johnson thread earlier i thought this will give me the longest thread ever and all the likes i could dream of - all gone up in smoke!

I just read your last post when the thread got pulled ....... Spoke too soon came to mind

 

[Ambivalent Dave]

I'm glad they are being deleted, it just turns the whole place into a fight, it's shit tbh

Move all the discussion into one thread. It's not hard.

 

[timeforheroes1]

cant even comment on the clubs reply?

 

[luvulongtime]

we can comment on it when he gets released from prison

The title says "and related subjects"

It says 'wait until the trial is over (IT IS) until facts come out from both sides (THEY HAVE)'

At what point do you think the trial ends? When the trial fairy says 'the end'?

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Shame they didn't answer the actual allegations put to them

They say that they didn't know he was going to plead guilty before the 1st day of the trial. Doesn't this answer it?

 

[lord of light]

No idea, but this place always takes the safe option of delete delete delete, just in case

yeah it was a rhetorical question

 

[WhoAreYa73]

Club statement is out. Don't see why we should stay quiet now

 

[lord of light]

Probably Maggie Byrne and BSA deleting these threads.

BSAs wife - she gets on here

Yup, but at the moment the trial is over and subjudice no longer applies, unless his appeal is succesful he remains guilty of one charge and the trial is now a open matter pf public record with no restrictions EXCEPT where the victim's identity may be compromsed.

I agree, wasn't saying at as a reason not to talk about it, but the whole thing just reduces to anger and fighting, he's been found guilty and no amount of arguing or debating will change that.
Just move on, he's history.

 

[Fetch Mr Advocaat]

I know Short won't be to happy because Johnson was his favourite, you could tell as he was getting more attention.

 

[WackyJackyO]

But this thread is for Pure Football, not impure footballers.

 

[Deleted User 18963]

Probably because people are hammering the club statement

 

[Kauto Star]

Where they avoid the actual allegation

Pathetic statement

Tbf, the club say on numerous occasions Johnson was going to plead not guilty. It also states they sought their own independent advice on the matter.

Johnson is now a proven liar, whose word should not be taken at face value.

People are allowed an opinion. Even if that challenges the club on issues they are hiding from

 

[DafyddHuw]

Club ststement "The club never placed any pressure or demands on Mr. Johnson to play football during this process."
...or not to play football.

 

[MunkyHeed]

f***ing calm down everyone FFS. Go over to FTB or whatever if you want to talk about it.

Mods are probably just waiting to get the OK from Roger.

...and once that happens this place is gonna be a f***ing nightmare anyway. Expect quite a few bans, online lynchings and e-fights for the next week or two.

The omission of the one thing people wanted answers to answers it comprehensively in my book.
