Heake Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Regardless of the outcome of the trial, he has admitted to being a nonce. Therefore he has opted to be a social pariah who will carry this stigma with him for the rest of his days the world over. fuck him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpie1892 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Is this the end of his professional career then? Have there been any instances of convicted paedos returning to the game? Just had a terrifying thought that he could end up here if he's let off lightly and this all eventually blows over (especially if we're in the Championship). Ashley might see it as another (former) fringe England international available for peanuts (don't imagine he'll be able to demand much in wages if he does return to the game). Not like SD or Wonga aren't used to negative publicity. Nee chance he'll play in English professional football again imo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Thomson_%28footballer,_born_1991%29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Didn't Lee Hughes get a contract with a club after he was sentenced for killing someone through drink-driving? Football has no morals so I don't doubt he'll find a club again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Graham Rix got 12 months in 1999 for having sex with a 15 year old. Joined Chelsea immediately after his release and was managing Pompey by 2001. Cant see it with Johnson though. Is this the end of his professional career then?

Hanshithispantz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 As bad as the Lee Hughes incident was I think it's right he should be allowed back into football like, I'd say the same for most criminals. If you're grooming a 15 year old girl then you're obviously completely fucked in the head though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye...massive difference between causing a road accident (Albeit a fatal one) & actively pursuing a child with a view to noncing. The point being that this was a premeditated act rather than a moment of stupidity...against a child Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Conor Wigwam apparently called the police after becoming aware of mentions of it on social media.

Hanshithispantz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 How is he (as a person) any different though than if he'd drunk drove and didn't kill any kids, like loads of people do?

Wullie Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The permanently-outraged on Twitter haven't got time to be concerning themselves with dead children. Any form of sexual abuse trumps any other crime at the moment. I think I've posted about this before, whatever you think of him it's outrageous that Evans can't get a club without threats being made against the owners while other people who've committed (IMO) worse crimes can rejoin without a murmur. Drink driving's not quite so trendy to "campaign" against on the internet so McCormick's fine to have at your club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Friend 1 was also questioned by both barristers via live video link. She told jurors that she didn't tell police when interviewed about the girl allegedly performing a sex act on Johnson because she "didn't believe it" and that her friend had asked her not to say.

The College Dropout Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Let's be honest. 80% of people who drive have done some type of drink driving at least once. Probably not speeding at the same time, most haven't killed anyone but still. It's a wreckless act of stupidity. But child grooming is... understandably..... another kettle of fish. I think Ched Evans issue is that he doesn't believe he's guilty. So he's going to have to fight that battle in caught. But yes... things are much different now. Mike Tyson was convicted of rape which he denies and he's still a Hero in many quarters. He went on to contest in massive box office bouts. If that happened in 2014 i'm not sure that would happen. His 1 man show gets shown on Sky. Neither Ched or Johnson will have that luxury. Mike Tyson's ace btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 A piece of shit who's served his time like, but aye, I'm not defending him. There's just a slight difference in the mindset behind speeding home pissed and sexually abusing an underage girl. One is ridiculous, arsehole behavior, the other is sexually abusing an underage girl. Johnson should never be offered the chance to play football again imo, as a human being he's proven himself unoquivically to be completely ammoral. I don't think you can say the same for McCormick.
