He copped it because of Saville, Barton has done worse and the twat is not in jail, drunk drivers kill people and get less.
He copped it because he was found guilty in Court not because of Saville. Hope you aren't trying to defend the indefensible. He took advantage of an underage girl knowing full well she was underage.
He's a dick if he did say that but look whose reporting it... wouldn't trust them to be that accurate.
This. Wtf is it with some Mackemsand their constant defence/support of this scumbag. Thankfully most Mackems and football fans in general see him for the filth he is.
No, not right now, but Barton did go to jail and served his time Not sure what's worse to be honest - Johnson actually committing the crimes he did, or people like you trying to defend someone for sexual activity with a child by comparing it to other criminal activity in some sort of pitiful attempt to make him the victim
I've seen the video, he said he should have rapped her in the context that if he was gonna do 6 years he might as well of and that he wouldn't have gone down if he wasn't a footballer. He also talks about playing football when he gets out! he knows it wont be in England, but he will go abroad! This guy's a sumbag, should never be given the chance to play again!
He got what he deserved. I dont think he's a nonce who preys on underage girls generally. I think he just got turned on by this girl and was too thick to understand that what he was doing was just so wrong.
Whilst I agree with you I'm gonna be pedantic & pick holes "I don't think he's a nonce" followed by "he just got turned on by this girl" the one who was underage! But yeah, in the grand scheme of things, although he is a sick messed up guy, he isn't one of these freaks on the dark web sharing revolting stuff or hunting down 10 year olds. unfortunately there are a lot worse out there. I've seen plenty of these types of people in the local news who have their computers confiscated and 1000's of videos found, yet they don't even get a jail sentence, it's a f-ing travesty. They should all be castrated once found guilty at the very least!
I'd burn them to the ground personally... Seriously though it is amazing so many people get a slap on the wrist for this. Should be on par with murder and rape (they should be burned too)
Amazing how Mackems are STILL defending him. This guy preyed on someone's daughter ffs. He was a 27 year old man chasing a 15 year for sex. In what world is that acceptable?
Cant see anybody defending him. Just some folk suggesting that he was unfairly made an example of and comparing his term of jail sentence to supposedly worse crimes. Although I agree that compared to some crimes he was dealt with harshly, I'm on the side that he should have getting a longer sentence personally, 6 years for the noncing and another 6 years for being an utter twat. Perfect job, stacks of cash, stunning wife and new born bairn waiting for him at his posh gaff, and he grooms and goes out picking up a 15 year old in his swanky motor. Thick selfish twattery of the highest order!
