Will be this week sometime, his own barrister has just finished questioning him and now it's the turn of the prosecution to ask him their questions. Then it depends on if the defence will be calling any other witnesses, then it's over to closing statements etc.

Cheers. I've stopped reading about it in the press now and just want it, and him, to go away. 2 years seems about right.
 
[HASHTAG]#Johnson[/HASHTAG] Player says he told Sunderland club why he had been arrested. "I told them everything."

Under cross-examination [HASHTAG]#AdamJohnson[/HASHTAG] said he told the [HASHTAG]#safc[/HASHTAG] that he had kissed the 15-year-old and had been aroused.

[HASHTAG]#AdamJohnson[/HASHTAG] says he told [HASHTAG]#safc[/HASHTAG] everything from the start.

[HASHTAG]#AdamJohnson[/HASHTAG] said he "didn't see it as a problem" to go back and play for [HASHTAG]#safc[/HASHTAG] after being brought back from suspension.

Surprised at Sunderland, knowing what they did, they must have known all this would all come out and reflect badly on the club.

Johnson told SAFC he'd "made a huge mistake”
Adam Johnson told Sunderland football club’s chief executive that he “had made a huge mistake” and kissed a 15-year-old fan, Bradford Crown Court has heard.

Cross examining Kate Blackwell QC said: “You told Sunderland football club you had been arrested, did you tell them she was a massive fan?”

Johnson replied: “Yes.”

Ms Blackwell QC asked if Johnson spoke to chief executive Margaret Byrne about what he has done with the 15-year-old and he said yes.

The thing for me is that Johnson has already admitted to lying to Police, so I would take this with a pinch of salt. It may very well be true but the fact that he has already told several lies would cast doubt of course.

So you're taking every statement Johnson says as a fact - interesting stand point.
 
Breaking News, AJ let off and some wired PDC/Marty Pellow splice being tried instead <ok>

Maybe you could take everything into consideration?

We suspend him, a meeting with his legal representatives, our legal representatives and the PFA takes place, next thing the suspension the club itself put in place is suddenly lifted

http://www.thepfa.com/news/2015/3/18/sunderland-lift-johnson-suspension

Does it sound like we had legal rock to stand on in not lifting the suspension and making him available for selection?

Folk who come to try and turn this into finger pointing at our club really need to do some fact gathering and aply some common sense.

We only reflect badly to Morons is the top and bottom of it.

I just think personally the lad is as thick as thick does, his penis and ego are his world and will beyond this be his demise, we will no doubt hear about him in 10/20 years time living in the bin and the PFA will be there dragging the useless piece of **** out of the gutter, making statements like, we look after our ex-professionals and how shocked we all are, now who's turn is it to pour the wine..

I personally just feel sorry for the child, this dickhead spawned, don't give a **** about his woman, she will get her cash for the awful outfits, the child though has to go to school one day..

What a bag of **** and an insult this creep is to young men in this day and age and more so that he's a NE lad..
Doesn't matter where the piece of filth comes from.

It has to be lies. Byrne is a lawyer so she would go in to such a conversation with a witness and probably a device to record the conversation.

Personally I doubt the conversation ever took place.

And why plead innocent at the magistrates, then confess it casually to SAFC?

Utter nonsence
 
Does anyone have any idea when it's due to finish?

I know they're opened ended, but they usually have some idea how long these case go on for.
supposed to be 10 days so would imagine by the end of the week, depends how long the jury are out and what the judges closing statements to the jury are.

He maintained innocence until the day of the trial. There's no way he told the club and the PFA the truth imo.
 
Unfortunately, some are blinded by their dislike for SAFC. I deal with facts myself and there is nothing to suggest that Sunderland knew the entire time. Judging from their swift action [and that of Adidas] following his guilty plea, it suggests to me that he told them it was bollocks, or didn't tell them the full story.

Where's this from mate? As from the Sunderland Echo...


"He did not directly speak to Margaret Byrne, chief executive, but spoke to other members of staff about his admissions, AJ has said."

I came on here and mentioned this and most people agreed it must surely be bollocks, I highly doubt he admitted to grooming/kissing a 15 year old to his employers, with them taking no action. Absolute loada ****e!
 
So he didn't admit it to Maggie but told it to 'someone else'. The PFA and his lawyers had his suspension lifted. He maintained innocence until the day of the trial

immediately afterward Adidas then the Club sack him.

Does it sound like the club or the PFA for that matter knew the truth?
 
He tried pointing the finger at our players yesterday and now he's trying to drag the club down with him. He's my most hated man now, he's gone way ahead of Jimmy Hill.
