That banner's actually fair enough like

They've brought a banner about Byrne? This is proper cringey like, they've been singing Johnson's name for a year despite the accusations of him being a crabby nonce, suddenly they're not as willing to listen to Byrne's side of the story though, she's guilty and needs to go now! Fucking morons.

"Her swift ability, without thinking, to mislead you" says the barrister

You'd think this would deter them from trying to take the imaginary high ground with the weird 'at least we have class' shite they made up, but it won't. They're like Liverpool, only they achieve cringeworthy solidarity in their faux hatred of nonses instead of stadium tragedies.

Wew he looks cool as.

They've been taking notes from the House of Commons.

last 2. It's started from absolutely nothing too. Everyone's sassumed she's evil because of half a dozen photos of yer walking into court. It's canny unfair.

This is getting weird.

That's it he's guilty then Err, I've never implied "I think he is" =/= "he is" like. Reports from the hearing are being tweeted live, you can have an opinion on the case. Edit: It all comes down to opinions as it's her word vs his. I believe her and I hope the jury do too.

I don't 'hope' he's fingered her, I hope he gets charged for it though as I think he's done it. The girl has said he has and he's calling her a liar and saying she's after money. It has nothing to do with Sunderland though, even if that's the reason I'm interested in the case in the first place. So Taylor has a bit of a point I suppose, but it's a bit different

It's enough to drive a man to nonce.

Their bairn too, ultimately we should probably just let her get on with it without calling her a slapper. We know nothing about her.

What a whore! you use such language against her but not much against the offender? why? Because I'm quite obviously taking the piss.

What a whore!

Anyway the only thing that could 'save' him at the minute in the "he's not a proper paedo" stakes is if he was just a total deviant. If he was just shagging anyone behind his lasses back regardless of creed or culture. It's slightly more acceptable if she was one of many at this time, men - women - japs - commies, and not necisarilly the only one he was pursuing, in which case it looks pretty cut and dry that this was a bit of a fantasy. Absolutely no chance she looked 25 either, may as well say she looked 68. It's all speculation but I'd be massively surprised if she looked in her 20s, given the photos Johnson would have been looking at on Facebook would have likely been when she was 14 and younger.

Lightening fast 2:30 am edit man Kaiz.

still cannot believe he answered no to that.

But aye, it's getting embarrassing this like.

your disgusting club has seemingly acted disgracefully, im hoping you want them all sacked, shocking the boss knew and let it go for the sake of points can we not act like total freaks please?

Personally I think blackmailing the 15 year old boy who tells people he's going to rape them over the internet was a masterstroke.

I'll go with this.

Again though, shouldn't it be the court who made that decision. They knew the evidence too, it would be a bit weird for them to not put something like that in his bale conditions and then punish the club for it.

He specifically used his role as a Sunderland player in order to groom a child. They allowed him to carry on as a Sunderland player having known that that was the case. Aye maybe, who would level the charges against them, the FA?

A woman in a high position knew everything, saw all the evidence. The club can't hide behind her, surely. If she's at fault therefore the club are at fault. At fault for what though? He was allowed to play football by law. It's wrong morally, but there's nothing the law can do about it as far as I'm aware. Not sure the FA can or will either, it's just one of them things.

What laws could they have broke? Unless not playing football was a requirement of his bail I cannot see how anything the club would have done was wrong legally.
