    No, you are choosing to misinterpret my words. I'm saying that she played a role in it all and that I would hope she will learn from it, as she placed herself in a very dangerous situation. Johnson was correct;ly found to be criminally at fault, but the girl (child or not) needs to be sure that her actions were also wrong - how else is she to learn?

    Increasing prices for young fans is the worst idea the Allams have come up with.
    Far worse then the name change to Hull Tigers in my opinion.

    I really hope they drop the insane idea.

    I would rather my pass went up then have kids excluded from football through the huge price rise

    Theres no future without the younger generation of supporters.

    If this insane idea goes ahead the ALLAMS are worse then that twat Lloyd in my opinion.

    And what exactly did she do wrong? Put her trust in someone she idolized like millions of other adolescents do? How was she to know her idol was a ****ing pervert and that meeting him would lead to her being abused? I doubt she knowingly put herself in danger.

    Btw I am not meaning to misinterpret your words and apologize if I have done so. However, this was hardly a relationship of equals was it? Him - a wealthy, arrogant, mature (in physical age if nothing else) bully who thought his standing and his lies could help him get away with his criminal acts. Her- a starstruck, vulnerable, immature young girl whose reputation was tarnished by her idol and by the social media morons who believed him to be innocent.

    This was a "taster"... and not exactly ingenuous.
    ------------------------
    November 2010


    "I want to have the capacity increased to 40,000. Increased capacity will help - gradually - to reduce the value of tickets. I hope I will live to see football watched by every housewife and child - make the tickets £10, £5.

    "Watching football should be like breathing air - free of charge."

    -----------------------

    ... As was pointed out to many.

    ... As was ignored by one.

    Clearly it was never a relationship of equals, it was an adult preying on a vulnerable child - I think we both agree with that.

    The adult has gone to jail for his crimes and I think we both agree that is also correct.

    I think the sentence is heavy,but that is my opinion, nothing else.

    Where we seem to disagree is about the child. The evidence and statements released clearly show that she made some very poor decisions, choosing to meet in a deserted dark alley, allowing a man to finger her, taking a signed shirt as a 'gift'. She was 15yrs old, not 7yrs old. She watches telly, sees the news, watches movies, whatever else might inform her that her actions were not right, not what her parents would expect of her (I hope). She has to take some responsibility for her own well-being and safety; she must learn some lessons from this whole sorry affair and move on, hopefully wiser and safer. What she did wrong was to do the things she did with the full understanding that it was wrong and that enabled a slick groomer free rein.

    zero support from Johnson, because he broke the law here and he's a perv - but most of our European colleagues think its ok

    The bastard looking after the 13 year old girl.

    His sentence was pathetic.

    He should have got life meaning life.

    its quite obvious the law is quite convoluted, cumbersome & littered with caveats BUT at the end of the day if you have to google to check if it is OK then you know you are in Shady St.
    As i say , boning a 19 yr old lass or 49yr old lass in an old Amy Johnson uniform tells a lot about the man :/

    Better legalistas than me will obviously be able to explain why this guy gets 21 months and Adam Johnson gets 6 years.

    http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Chil...sed-Snapchat/story-29085223-detail/story.html

    Full intercourse 6 times with a 13 year old gets 3 times less of a sentence than kissing and fingering a 15 year old.

    Mebbees someone can explain the legal complexities, 'cos I'm buggared if I understand them.

    It's partly down to how much the judge's arthritis is playing up on the day of sentencing.

    Doesn't sound right, but Johnson appears to have been made an example of, because of his celebrity status.

    Johnson was fully aware he was breaking the law (he looked up age of consent), was in a position of trust, and is in the public eye.

    He didn't break the law after he looked up the age of consent. After he googled it he dumped her.

    Didn't he look it up when she said she turned 16 the following year? Which was before he kissed her?

    No, he knew she was underage yes, but only found out the law after he'd put his hands down her pants. I don't think he realised how long he could go to prison for. After he found out he dumped her. At least in my opinion.

    OK I can't remember the specifics about timing.
