his 2 weeks out before was part of his sentencing

A privilege that the common man doesn't get.
"Mr Johnson you have been found guilty of sexual offences involving a minor. You will serve 6 years in jail. But before you do, pop home for a fortnight and have some quality time with you daughter"

Yeah, no special treatment there

Maybe because he wasn’t stopped in time. Who is to say Johnson wouldn’t have put his victim up in a house, etc? He has the financial resources to do so and was clearly infatuated with her considering what he was putting at risk.

Not sure what’s funny about a 15 year old being abducted though, you’ll have to explain.

ifs, buts, maybes? ffs just deal in the facts, your comparison is f***ing ridiculous.

the only international action johnsons victim saw was a whiff of a house special chow mein

I'm not sticking up for AJ but his offence was nothing like that. It was of kissing, grooming and asking for more of a under 16 yet old girl. That is a very serious offence but it was not done against her will.

Groomimg + not against her will :confused:

You're wasting your time on this thread mind Sima, even if what you post is spot on some will use the fact you're a Mag to make out it's about one up manship.

do you have data to show that this was special treatment, i really dont know if it is. and he shouldnt have got any special treatment either, just consistency.

You’re making light of his crime now so I’m out. Nee point discussing it with you any more.

It was more than just kissing, but the fact it was a girl under 16 means that technically it was against her will because she was a child and he was a grown man using his fame and influence to influence her into illegal acts. There is no defending him

I am not defending him, just stating that there is a difference between tying down a person and forcing yourself on them or taking advantage of them while they are sleeping (as an earlier poster wrote) and having a girl willingly engage in kissing even taking into account what you correctly say about her age and consent.

Anyway, I don't want to give AJ anymore consideration or attention. I'm not defending him, he's a horrible piece of work.

quote anyone in this thread who has been an apologist for him.

the issue here his, and you personify it, is that anyone who doesnt want him destroyed forever is an apologist. to be fair to AJ he has paid a price for his crime a hundred times greater than a non celebrity would have.

Anyone who's suggesting he should play again by de facto is an apologist.
When he completes his sentence he'll have to sign the sex offenders register for life due to the nature of his crime. The club runs an active academy and has full time safeguarding employees and policies.
These policies will make it impossible for him to resume his career here. The safeguarding policies are similar throughout the land. He forfeited his career when he committed the crime.
To say he can play again circumvents the way society judges him to be around young people ie. The training ground

I'm absolutely amazed at some of the replies on here. It has absolutely nothing to do with me being black and white but some of, actually quite a few, posters would welcome him back? I agree his sentence was on the harsh side, nevertheless he did wrong. What about the girl and her family? Their lives will never be the same. Yes he's done his time, but for some of you who want him back knowing what he done his time for, your "support" beggars belief. I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to a member of your family.

Oh please fuck off you sanctimonious black and white gravy stained bastard.

Did he support you as a lad now?

How many other convicted criminal are allowed 2 weeks before they start their sentence?

i am keen to know this as well. you are banding it around like its special treatment but you have no clue if it is or not. obviously, it will be granted based upon someones risk of flight or reoffending. johnsons high profile did him way more harm than good in court, there are example threads on here all the time of people shagging kids who get lesser sentences.

give ower people are just saying he is entitled to go back to work. not a single person has apologised for him. talking about him coming back to safc is absolute bollocks as it would be a PR disaster anyway.

My original post was a shit attempt at humour but are you really trying to compare the 2?
The majority of drug use is clearly the choice of that person and harms no-one else. You can't say the same of any sex crime.

also, a dealer selling wraps of drugs to kids is “grooming” in every sense of the word

I'd rather Johnson than that ginger cockwomble ;)

Whilst Johnson is a very, very good player and one of the best I've seen play for us, I hope he is never considered for a return here.

Cheers for the good times, but he needs to move on thinking he'll play for us again. Not just us, but anyone in England



Apparently he's got Vaughan 9 printed on the back of it and has posters of Donald Love on his cell walls.

Sleeps on a Samson cushion as well

Didn’t he get done for having animal blueys as well? Very possible the cushion exists.
