Adam johnson sacked

[Green Cross Code Man]

Brave move by the club...this is going to cost them a couple of million at least as a lost " asset " and maybe more if Johnstone plays the " Unfair Dismissal " card.

I wouldn't imagine that unfair dismissal could be realistically considered in this case.

 

[beorhthelm]

I don't know the textbook definition but I think it's highly unlikely that a kiss constitutes sexual activity in relation to this part of law. Happy to be proved wrong though.

well thats what he's pleaded guilty to, that counts as sexual activity.

How on earth can he claim unfair dismissal when he's pleaded guilty to a charge of sexual activity with a child?

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

He has pleaded guilty to two counts, but not guilty to two further counts.


Nearly right.





A trial of two counts of sexual activity may take quite some time. He won't be sentenced on the guilty pleas until after the conclusion of the trial.

Hung for a sheep or a lamb then

 

[severnside gull]

In contravention of his contract as soon as he pleaded guilty to two charges for each of which he could receive a substantial sentence. It's in the standard player's contract.
Admirable that Sunderland had the balls to act.
Wonder which clubs will be first in the queue to sign him when he gets out?

Adam Johnson having a party bring your home work and your smarties

As Renton said in Trainspotting: "They cut your balls off in jail and flush 'em down the f**k*ng toilet."

How dumb do you have to be to think "I'm a professional footballer with no chance of a private life because the media are everywhere. Yep, I can definitely get away with kissing an under-age girl. 100%"

Your sentiments are right but the charges are a little more than kissing. I think the charges he has accepted carry a sentence of about 2 1/2 years where as the two that he has denied carry a sentence of 10 years.

It goes from bad to worse for Sunderland.

Are you on persians ?? Hes put his hands up to sexual activity with a child

 

[Big G]

I would take him

It's possible that all he did wrong is kiss and text a 15 year old, his life shouldn't be over for that.

He's admitted kissing and touching her whilst knowing she was 15 for gods sake!
Got to be bloody joking you don't get why that makes him a fvcking nonce!

 

[8ace]

Are you on persians ??

Not heard that one before.

 

[1066gull]

Hes going to prison

 

[alfredmizen]

Not heard that one before.

 

[alfredmizen]

I tend to be able to spot when someone is less than half my age, but maybe that's just me

Yes it probably is just you mr self righteous, Johnson is a nonce, he KNEW how old this kid was , there are plenty of 15 year olds who could pass for 21 , but you knew that and decided you'd try and look good anyway

The bloke has coughed to child sex offences.... He's a nonce!
Very much doubt he could play any card.
And 'when' he is found guilty of the other charges he'll be banged up anyway.
'Er yes I knew she was 15, but still kissed her and touched her ........but I didn't shag her...honest!'

 

[Hugo Rune]

One man's 'nonce' is another man's 'Jack-the-lad'. The age of consent is 14 in China. Sounds like a no brainer to me. I imagine his agent is on a flight there as I type.
