Disco Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Mike Anstead @mike_anstead 10m10 minutes ago Adam Johnson http://dailym.ai/1RofKEv I'd heard that during the trial, that he was being very arrogant and dismissive, yawning, joking about etc. Seeing as it wasn't reported, presumed there was some kind of block on it. Aye, seems to be case. Totally deluded, arrogant bellend basically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 They aren't pleading ignorance only that they did not know he was pleading guilty. They saw the condemning evidence last year and did nothing. They are a disgrace Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I notice their statement dodges the fact he admitted the kiss. Just talks about the way he was going to plead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loki679 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Notable that they only deny knowing he was going to plead guilty, not addressing the claims made by Johnson that he told them about the kissing and showed them the grooming messages, the two counts he eventually pleaded guilty to. They mention receiving documents regarding the case. It's a pretty weaselly statement in that everything in it is likely true but still doesn't tell the whole story. The question isn't whether or not they knew how Johnson was going to plead, it's whether or not they knew that he was guilty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Sunderland's statement is a woeful attempt at justifying unsuspending him and then playing him. It almost reads that he did well to continue to perform with the charges hanging over him. Shameful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hold on...is he appealing the guilty verdict for the thing that he pleaded guilty to? Or another charge? Sorry for being a bit slow on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 If SAFC were being truthful, then they would be seeking legal action against Johnson. Their statement is utter, utter lies imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest antz1uk Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 thye should have dealt with the issue head on and taken the stick, now they are trying to avoid it the press will be like a dog with a bone.

Stray Mackem Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 As a Sunderland fan that statement is a disgrace. What it leaves out is probably most damning. It was said in court by Johnson and a police officer, that the club knew of the grooming and the kissing. That statement from the club does not address this claim. If they knew, which seems probable, then that is nothing short of scandalous and whoever knew should be sacked. Shame on them and their pathetic jargon filled attempt to wriggle out of any blame. As for Johnson? He's blew his career and freedom for quick fondle in the back of his car and I don't have one iota of sympathy for him. Whatever sentence the judge passes down will be well deserved.
