Not open for further replies.

Judging by what happened with 'their' social media accounts after his arrest and their name got out it wouldnt suprise me if they are checking this thread as we speak

He could have, and should have, been removed from being able to play. This entire circus could have been avoided by the club.

innocent till proven guilty is a fundamental in law. As soon as guilt was admitted the Club sacked him the same day.

Apologists for the BBC who have a clear agenda against our club need to give their head a shake.

The criminal justice system has done its job. We need to move on for the good of everyone. The BBC is trying to score points off our great club and using a very sad situation and is as low as they can get.

The BBC is the organisation that created Saville we do not need them to give us lectures. What next Hitler lecturing on world peace?

Good peice by David Conn - The Guardian

Last season, with Johnson playing, they finished three points above relegation. Now, at serious risk of going down this time, the goal Johnson scored in the 6 February 2-2 draw with Liverpool, most likely the last game he will play as a professional footballer, could preserve Sunderland their guaranteed £100m from next season’s Premier League TV rights. Survival will presumably justify Byrne’s own salary, which was £663,196 in 2013-14, and by then, Sunderland are surely figuring, they will have outlasted all these inconvenient questions.

As far as I knew, the club's accounts don't mention that MB receives that salary, only that the highest paid director receives it. It's an obvious assumption that MB is the highest paid director being the CEO but it's also possible that ES pays himself a large salary as a way of getting a return on the investment he's made into the club and that MB's salary is part of the other £400k wages spread across the remaining directors. I'm sure somebody on here will know if that's the case or not but there's certainly a very big pay difference between that person and the 4 remaining directors.

What about the Guardian?
 
How can the same handful of people be arguing the same circular point for over 200 pages? ffs. Anyone would have thought some new info would be required to keep this thread interesting.

The judge said he would only accept a 12-0 score, yet accepted 10-2

When the jury are first sent to deliberate the instruction is 12-0, after a period of time, if that cannot be reached the judge can then instruct them that a 10-2 majority is acceptable.
It's a little but strange, but he basically has to go through the motions and insist on 12-0 to start with.

This.
This is the same sun that accused football supporters of beating up a policeman administering the kiss of life. That accused supporters of picking the pockets of corpses. The same sun whose employees paid police officers for stories.
The same sun that supported thatcher during the miners strike. The same sun that told everyone straight sex can't give you aids. The same sun that was complicit in hacking phones. That's just a few I can think of off the top of my head. I don't really think they're in any position to be taken seriously, anyone that does is at the same level and should be pitied.

List the lies she made that were proven in court??

That she sucked him off (not guilty)
That he offered to buy her a range rover (didnt happen, accepted as fact)
That his pubes were shaven (accepted by most that they arent)
That he gave her money, which she then used to buy her mate sexy lingere :lol: (didnt happen, something now accepted as fact)
+ others.
 
I haven't followed the thread because it's way over my head to be honest but I've had a rush-to-the-head £50 bet with a gob-shite Boro supporter that the club won't be sued for playing Johnson up to the Liverpool game, have I just lost £50?

He shouldn't say that he will only accept "12- nil" majority if he wont, making jokes in the case of this trial means he's a nob aswel.
