But I do think his sentence was too harsh :lol:

Why is this a shit argument?

At the time after his trial, when people were saying "ah well he didnt do anything wrong really" I was one of the main posters saying what he did was wrong, that it was an abuse of power/ trust and it was completely inappropriate behaviour.

But I still think the sentence was too long. I often read cases and think "that sentence was too long" or "that sentence was too short". Do you not? Do you think every sentence is right?

I don't see what the issue is with disagreeing with the length of his sentence. It has fuck all to do with him playing for us. I thought it was shameful he was still allowed to play once he was charged. I do think he deserved to be punished. But 6 years? Nah.

So given that he pleaded guilty, the court heard the evidence (including his defence), the judge followed the sentencing guidelines, and the Appeal Court dismissed his appeal, on what basis do you think the sentence was too harsh?

Just the fact that you don't think it was a bad enough crime?

You think the state is too harsh on adults who have sex with children?
 
The poster who said they'd have him back playing for us when he is released is the best I've seen on here.. something along the lines of he will have served his time as justification for re-employing a sex offender.

He's already appealed his sentence and lost that. Luckily the judges aren't so easy to give him a slap on the wrist as some people on here seem to be.

Again, I agree AJ shouldn't be playing football in the UK once he is released. He certainly shouldn't be playing until the full 6 years are up.

But this same argument was had in relation to Ched Evans and many posters disagreed with me when I said this. I think the majority thought he should be allowed to play as soon as he was released.

So it's not just an issue because he played for us - it's a wider issue about how we, as a society, view offending/ sex offending.
 
Looks to me like you were stoking up a game of 'what's the best kind of nonce'
Check.

That was on the last thread on here too.

As well as a quick round of victim blaming and a bonus prize of 'its the parents fault'.
 
I'm only going off the evidence of things I've seen myself, and he doesn't show any remorse in it.

I'd left caps lock on at first without realising and that reply looked f***ing mental :lol:

:lol:

All I can say is that prison must be a f***ing scary place where people will say absolutely anything to get through it.

He's a dreadful man, and deserves locking up, but I can't blame him for acting the lad while he's caged up with a bunch of criminals.

I'd claim to be a Mag, in there, if it kept me out of bother :confused:
 
Regardless of how the headline makes him look, I hate Adam Johnson.

One of the most talented players we've had for years and throws it away by getting with a lass under the age of 16 when you look at his Mrs new born baby and his glorious lifestyle ..f***ing idiot.

Tidied

I'd certainly never say that.

What I would say is that hopefully they were unaware she was out at night, meeting a married man in a car park, when she had school the next day.
 
I have no sympathy whatsoever with Johnson after what came out in the trial and he deserves to be where he is, but once again the Sun are showing themselves up to be absolute scum in publishing that sensationalist headline and video.

Whilst it is their job to sell papers, they clearly don't care a jot about the victim of his crimes in doing so.

I am closing this thread now to stop giving the rag even more publicity. Please don't start any more, they will only be deleted.
