People are completely missing the point of how he used his position to manipulate a vulnerable minor.
And shows no remorse for it.

To be fair, you might be missing the point that he may well have shown remorse for it.

Thankfully I've no idea what prison is like but I'd imagine you'd say absolutely anything, to people you're caged up with, to get through a day.

If TV dramas are anything to go by people like him are a constant potential target.

Agreed. Could give a shit about him. He's a moron... bitches and moans that he got a raw deal because he's a footballer w/o realizing or acknowledging all the perks and advantages that came w/ his status. He just screwed himself w/ his own stupidity and now he wants to say he'd be better off as joe public. This f*cking guy... I swear. Let's just close the book on him and move on.
Couldn't.
 
See, this is where you're getting carried away with yourself and second guessing what people think.

As far as I can see no one is forming their opinions purely on the basis that he played for us. it's two separate things.

If people choose to believe the sentence is harsh, they're entitled to that view.

If people are 'downplaying his transgressions' it may be a response to people up playing them and implying he's an evil serial predator .... but I don't know because I'm not them.

I'm not 'chiming in', I'm posting just like you are, don't try to be clever, it doesn't suit you.

And what I've said is that this forum is no different to any other, that's all ...... I'm not implying anything.

I don't need you to interpret for me, thanks all the same. If I want to say something I just say it, I don't make snide implications.

You can call it second guessing all you like - it's pretty evident some are swayed by the fact he played for us. Not sure why you're so desperate to defend them.

You 'don't know because you're not them' but as usual have zero issue wading in on behalf of others then citing semantics when you get pulled up on it.

You say any other forum would be no different - so I essentially said how is that a defence? In my view some things should trump football tribalism.

If 'that's all' you were saying it was a pretty pointless comment and I'm not sure why you've bothered getting involved.

I'm of the view that some are clouded by the fact he played for us - a view supported by plenty of things I've heard and seen written since this whole sorry affair began. I understand you don't like seeing fellow Sunderland fans get criticised but perhaps it's worth acknowledging that 'just like any other club' we have a few knackers following us.

Hope this wasn't too clever from me :oops:
 
No more than the numerous teachers we hear about every year who end up with nowt but a comparative slap on the wrist though, that's the issue with the sentence.

Teachers aren't feted celebrities who can (and did) abuse their high profile position in order to perform sexual abuse though
