Big Geordie

I know it's "banter" to call him a paedo and that but he isnt really. I'm not sure we'll ever see this girl, but while he did know she was 15, I bet she looks about 25. Was because she was 15 that he went after her She apparently 'looked her age' according to those who saw her pic (I haven't, btw) Paedo is a poor choice of word on my part, but the point stands.

I dunno - I still think they've got a duty of care to their younger supporters, many of whom will have been around at training and on matchday. I wonder how many SAFA supporting parents will be happy that they put the rights of a paedo, ahead of that of those of their children?

Thread has just been culled.

wow.

Am I allowed to feel a bit smug now, over some of the pelters I took elsewhere yesterday, for suggesting that SAFC knew more than they had let on?! Of course they haven't broken any laws, but morally and ethically, they are fucked. Surely got to be up on some kind of disripute charge in the coming weeks? Margaret Byrne sounds like a genuinely disgusting person and I find it hard to imagine that she won't have told Short and the likes of Advocaat and Allardyce! If i were a decent red and white, I'd be foaming with those running the club. Shameful.

It's all about controlling the message, as far as NUFC are concerned. North Korean dictatorship.

This.

Fellas - has there been a tweet today that said that SAFC had seen the Whats App messages between him and the girl? Am sure I've read one, but am having trouble finding it. Someone asking for 'proof'.

That may yet be to come, at the end of the trial. Questions definitely need to be asked.

Yes I am I agree with what's being said. Throw the book at him. He's quite clearly not reet in the head. As for Sunderland. If we knew this was coming out and played him anyway, deduct us points. Send us down. Wouldn't put it past Byrne etc. to act this way. Wouldn't be the first time our board have been ridiculous. Fair play

Andy Hughes ‏@SkyAndyHughes 3m3 minutes ago #AdamJohnson said he "didn't see it as a problem" to go back and play for #safc after being brought back from suspension.

Martin BruntVerified account ‏@skymartinbrunt #Johnson Player says he told Sunderland club why he had been arrested. "I told them everything." ------------------ I'm arguing over with folk on the Si Games site, who believe that Sunderland have done nothing wrong. Am I the only one to think differently in that, they could have known exactly what happened from the start, but chose to turn a blind eye? is it just me?!

Christ knows what Johnson's defence team are playing at here. Absolutely mind-boggling.

Wow. Not looking good for the mackems then! Grubby and seedy all round.

Getting back to that vid above - it's got to be bordering on a child protection issue. I hope the plod have been informed about this wankspangle doing that to his bairns and uploading it.

My word.

I can't watch that, as my browser doesn't support playback.

5Live have said Brunt apparently has a cut under his eye. He's a lucky lad.

Hell on at the end of the WBA game. Apparently Chris Brunt was hit by a coin, chucked by one of his own supporters.

Reading 3 WBA 1

Rushall 0 Blyth 1 Dale (pen)

Merson speaking sense, shocker.

If anyone wants an alternative, Blyth are playing down at Rushall today - live commentary will be here (I believe) http://mixlr.com/blythspartans/

Great piece and have shared around on FB.

I'm not sure if I have any sympathy for her, if she is indeed standing by him for now.
