Figures 1-0 Football

Completely agree with this - the Arsenal game I was expecting to see 5 or 6 minutes and couldn't believe it when it was only 4. We had 6 minutes added on recently didn't we, in a game with far less stoppages than that one. I genuinely believe they make it up as they go along.

Johnson is fucking terrible at noncing kids isn't he? Imagine being called "creepy", "pale" and described as having "yellow and wonky teeth" by some child that you've forced yourself on in a car park near a Chinese

I have always disliked FA Cup replays. The only positive for them is the smaller clubs getting a nice windfall out of them, other than that I see absolutely no reason to have them. Cup football is so much more exciting when it is 90 minutes + extra time/penalties. The away goals rule can piss off too, absolutely daft.

Doesn't matter, from his texts to her there is clear intent to take it further than a kiss - the victim is also alleging that more happened too, I'd be amazed if he gets found not guilty at the moment. Lets not forget that he has already pleaded guilty to two offences against a child, there is only one person in the courtroom with a good reason to lie and it certainly isn't this young and vulnerable girl. EDIT - also the fact that he lied about the other two charges for the best part of a year

Unless his lawyer really steps up or Johnson provides an absolutely great performance in his testimony then I can only see this going one way. He'll get two and a half years-ish for this.

Quite glad that she bought that up. What an awful defence he cannot undo some jeans with his hand in a cast, but he can drive all the way to meet her one-handed

Have they not beaten them at SoS in the league before?

Mackems have never beaten Man Utd at SoL.

Only just noticed he was in there I joked a joke

Is Johnson out injured?

Would love these wankers to collapse today and get absolutely hammered, what an excellent start to the day that would be.

An early Man Utd goal and it could be 4 or 5. They'll try be noisy for all of 5 minutes before they realise they're shit, the club is shit, their ground is shit and they go back to normal.

The eye-opening parts of those messages is the "that wasnt so bad was it?" after he got her to suck him off in a car park. That to me reads like it was her first time doing it, why else would you say something like that? Also, the fact that all of this came out because of how horrified that she was that everyone at school found out she'd be playing around with someone makes me believe that she was genuinely a vulnerable, young and inexperienced girl. I have sympathy sometimes in cases where a younger girl has thrown herself at an older lad in situations where the older lad doesn't know her age, but this is far from that. This is clearly an older man who has used his status to groom and abuse a young girl. Also, as for those who have sympathy with Johnson's girlfriend Jesus wept. She is shamelessly walking into a courtroom every day with a man who has admitted grooming and sexually abusing a 15 year old girl. I'm sorry, but there is absolutely no excuse for not leaving him. Why on Earth would you stay in a house (and probably the same bed) as a man who has abused a child? She is an absolute disgrace and I hope she falls flat on her arse and gets nothing out of this.

Me and a few friends are considering going to Thailand, purely just to take part in some god awful sex scenes. Never found myself attracted to a Thai lass, but if she's happy to fart in my mouth then I'll give it a whirl.

No matter what the outcome of the other two charges is, Johnson has absolutely ruined his life and will always have this hanging over him. What an awful quality of life he will have compared to what he has now, whatever savings the bloke has is going to get smashed up by legal costs and seperation to his mrs (once she leaves him and stops milking it). He will never work again, at least within his current occupation. He'll struggle to get a job literally anywhere and will forever be taunted and abused for the rest of his life. And all of it is thoroughly deserved.

Imagine continuing to sleep with a man who is a confirmed nonce.

100% his girlfriend is in it for the money, there is simply no other reason to stay with a paedophile no matter how much you love someone, if they are a self-confessed child kisser you probably have to draw a line.

Think it is absolutely astonishing to hear what has come out of the trial so far, the messages that they have as evidence is the reason he has had to plead guity to the first two charges. His defence will do very, very well to get him off of the other two charges. I just cannot comprehend why a 28 year old man with an absolutely stunning and pregnant girlfriend would start messaging a 15 year old girl on facebook, meeting up with her to get touched up in a car park and asking her for rude snapchats If he wanted to do all of this, then he could have done it with literally hundreds of women who are of legal age.

And to think the mackems thought this was all noncense

Chelsea are very beatable this season, then again, we're nothing but beatable away from home. 12-12

I like how the club make no reference to what the "guilty pleas" were registered for Such a shit and horrible little club, relegation for them would be sensational this season.

So they have finally acted... Only 11 months too late to actually claim any shread of decency. His Mrs will split with him next (if she hasn't already).

Absolutely nothing could be said to justify Sunderland's actions throughout this whole saga. Whether he was telling Sunderland he was innocent or what, there is simply no reason why he should have been unsuspended. The bloke was charged with sexual activity with a child, a suspension is not a punishment and would have been the appropriate action in this instance until the trial had been concluded. It is simply disgraceful that they continued to play him.

Colin Kazim Richards could have stayed on at shit clubs in England playing average football on average wages but he decided to move to Turkey to play at the top of his game and earn as much ££ as he could. Turkey is a piss league, I'd rather move to China personally. Does that make him a bad person, should he have just been greatful that he was earning £3k a week at Sheff Utd or Brighton? Or was he a clever bloke trying to earn a living and progress his career in a lower standard of league but with more money and opportunities (Europe) for him?

A modern day professional footballer (even down to League 2 and most conference teams) will be earning enough money to comfortably live whilst saving for their future. There is simply no excuse for footballers losing their wealth other than pure greed and misadventure. People forget that a lot of players from abroad will come from great povety and they are not only playing football for themselves but also their families. I have no issue with players moving for the best deal. People also forget that a lot of players dont care about playing football, they do it because it is something they are good at and can earn them money. You dont get many footballers who 'play for the shirt', most are playing for their jobs. If someone offered me £100k a year I would happily turn up for training every day and sit on the bench if I wasnt good enough.
