An England footballer arrested

Adam Johnson

yes just seen

If only he played for Rotherham

Have any number of footballing apologists assembled yet on Sky Drivel to tell us what a fantastic young man he is, and that he should be allowed to keep his job regardless of the outcome?

I wouldn't get overexcited just yet. She could be a willing mature 15 yr old and it could be an Air pistol

Apparently he wsa a straight A student.

Shocked i am

Suggs went to the same school as Jihadi John.... and not a lot of people know that.

Madness!

Let's go through those complex Red Top Tabloid Newspaper rules again, regarding media coverage of PROVEN sexual activity involving teenage girls :

(a) Adult Male having sex with girl of 15 years 363 days :  CHOP HIS WEDDING TACKLE OFF NOW !!!

(b) Adult Male having sex with girl of 16 years 0 days :  Phwoaaarr, you jammy $od.

© Two or more 16 year old girls having sex together : Phwooooooaarrrrrr, got any photos girls?


Special Rules for Grauniad coverage *  :

Adult Male having sex with girl under 16 : if he's white, chop his bits off by all means, but if rapist is a person "of Pakistani Heritage", try to cover it up, or at least worry that revelations might lead to "Islamophobia" or paint an entire peace-loving community in a bad light, endangering the Pretendy Community Cohesion.


Any more media rules I missed?

never been so disapointed since gary flitcroft emerged from the shadows as the premiership star.

Yes: if white put pic up. If mussy or black, by no means put pic up..

You've nailed the main ones, alun. Good work.

2nd shot this season

I'll be waiting for his mates to upload the mobile phone footage before forming an opinion on this.

Does he have a drink problem?

she probarbly told him she was 16.

It's not 'sex'.

it's 'romping'

I go odds on Jody Morris or some other no hoper mate filmed it and another one helped roast.

And if it was a romp I very much hope it was bawdy.

I bet you he was a promising young footballer.

I can't wait for ebul posting.

I go for Adam Johnson myself

"side boob" is another new one in tabloid speak - especially daily mail online

...and a 'lewd sex act' is...oh....work it out for yourself (I think that's probably what the protagonist does).

Graham rix got 12 months and served 6

Alan is spot on.

Just as well this law wasn't applied in Rotherham.
If you phoned the local taxi firm and asked how long it would be, they would say "errrr, about 6 months"
