    Orlando Pownell has made a name for himself defending alleged sex offenders, Gary and Phil Neville's dad being one. He was found not guilty.

    Does anybody think a guy like this has 'morals'? Somebody who cares not if the person is innocent, only that there is insufficient evidence to convict his client. He's a clever guy and that's why AJ has employed him at all costs. We can deduce nothing from a not-guilty verdict, it does not mean he never did it.

    I'm also fairly certain he'd be more than willing to go the distance with Maggie Byrne in court if he had to, his word against hers, if it meant A) another pay day for him and B) it helps him some way in this case.

    It must be true then, A lying nonce said it through his Brief. Good as a lie detector. Because a defence lawyer has never mis-represented or twisted anything to make a point in defending his client.

    I believe the club knew enough to morally keep him away from our club until this court case

    That is exactly the point of contention now that his guilt has been established.

    Unless other matters arise from it we may never know.

    What if they legally couldn't? The only fact available to us on this matter is there are none. I'll wait and see before condemning my club as one who sympathies with sex offenders and withholds important information from a criminal investigations.

    BTW. Johnson has already confirmed that he DIDN'T notify Maggie of the kiss, he said it to 'someone else' at the club. To even find out who that was would require an investigation, something the club couldn't do while the criminal investigation was on going. It's not as black and white as AJ saying we knew and it being the truth. It's likely very complicated and not as simple as the thick kiddy fiddler has made out.

    I'll wait for something more creditable.

    Some interesting stuff cropping up on Twitter, regarding Margaret Byrne, some old news being dug up regarding miners (not minors) and fascism and her vetoing a Villa player signing in January as she's on the FA panel... she could have a whopper of a storm heading her way.

    But the police have confirmed that they gave Byrne a copy of the Instagram pics, later shown in court as a child in a bikini and cock shots

    I don`t remember that. I thought the only statement the club had seen was the original one which turned out to be lies.

    Proper confused now :huh:

    Na, it would have made no difference at all. I just find it really funny and it made me laugh out loud.

    No they didn't. Police don't disclose evidence of an on going case to an employer. You're talking mistrial seriousness now. Aj and his brief could have chosen to share evidence with the club, but what they showed them and how they presented it was entirely up them and had nothing to do with the police at all. For all we know, AJ's brief could have shown them selected texts which expose no more than a bit of flirting. You have no idea what the club knew or didn't know. Not a clue mate. None of us do. But the police didn't hand over anything at all to the club.

    Because it didn't happen. The defence say they've shown them evidence and disclosed everything to the club but the police won't have. We basically have AJs word on that at the moment.

    He was conceived, in Disney World, Florida. She was bent over Goofy and Tigger ended up copping a face full of goop when his old man pulled out.

    No wonder he ended up in a job telling annoying little kids to **** off.

    • Sunderland supporters want answers about Adam Johnson being allowed to play by the club
    • It is claimed chief executive Margaret Byrne had copies of police interviews where Johnson confessed to kissing and grooming the schoolgirl
    • Jim Gilling, of the Sunderland's supporters' group, wants club to make a statement about the recent revelations
    Let's wait and see then

    If one good thing comes of all this for the club hopefully she will be sacked asap and maybe some of the other bottom feeders in the halls of power at SAFC won't have her giant arse to hide behind and the club maybe just maybe might get run correctly in the future

    Why the ****ing hell did he originally plead not-guilty to grooming if he confessed to grooming the girl to the feds?
