Johnson got what he deserved, no doubts. he's a numpty of the highest order. but just a few weeks on we have some female teacher given a joke of a sentence for doing something similar and she was in direct contact with kids all the time. then this other lad last week gets no sentence at all, just community service, for what is essentially the same offence. what gives? Now I've found this on the BBC website just now and i'm totally confused how one thing can be dismissed and the other found true. surely one influences the other? Midfielder Jonas Gutierrez was dropped by Newcastle United because of his cancer diagnosis, an employment tribunal has found. The 32-year-old was suing the Magpies for in the region of £2m on the grounds of disability discrimination. The tribunal also ruled the club made it impossible for Gutierrez to trigger a further deal through appearances. Claims of unfavourable treatment and another of harassment related to disability were dismissed. A further remedy hearing will be held in due course, in which compensation will be addressed. Diagnosis and Gutierrez's claims Gutierrez, who joined Newcastle from Real Mallorca in 2008, was diagnosed with testicular cancer in October 2013. He had been a regular at St James' Park before that time, with 10 goals in 177 appearances at the time of the return of the illness and subsequent treatment. The Argentina international sued Newcastle over the way he was treated following his diagnosis and claimed the Premier League club saw him as a liability after he returned from treatment. Gutierrez, now playing for Deportivo La Coruna in Spain, also alleged that he was not selected for some of the second half of the 2014-15 season, when the Magpies avoided relegation on the final day of the campaign, so it would not trigger an automatic one-year contract extension. i dont know any better so i'm going to assume they make punishments up as they go along
Clubs are allowed to not select players because it could trigger a contract extension, what that has to do with anything is beyond me. Re Johnson, probably would have got a suspended sentence if he didn't act like a **** in court or try to claim innocence from the start instead of being a man and admitting it.
Zlatan, I've just read the Gutierrez article and can't make head nor tail of the Tribunals findings, they find in his favour one one issue and against him on the same issue or am I just being thick. The whole article is nonsensical too me.
