....is it just me or is Mr. Johnson's playing career effectively cooked with this guilty plea? Thoughts? |

I would expect that it is; IMO it should be. |

It's going to like Ched Evans. When ever he tries to come back in to the game, you'll have feminists (and the like) criticizing any club that tries to sign him - leading to him effectively unemployed for the rest of his life...

I'd like to know more of the circumstances. The girl might have been just a few days from 16, some people are maturer than others and all that ... |

I doubt we'll know the full extent of it all, it depends whether he knew if she was underage or not. I imagine he'll be put inside if there is anything untoward going on |

On the face of it, I'd think his football career is over after this. He's already admitted to child grooming and still faces charges of sexual relations with an underage girl. It would be a miracle if he escaped a prison sentence, and even if he does, the damage to his reputation has already been done. But as has already been said, we don't know enough details to be able to make an informed opinion. |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35559931 "The jury was read a series of messages between the pair in which he arranged to meet her so he could sign a football shirt. In them, the girl made it clear she was a Year 10 student and one month past her 15th birthday, saying everyone thought she looked older." He deserves everything he gets then. Can understand why Sunderland sacked him - I don't think he has a leg to stand on anymore. It's a shame he's ruined his career doing something like this. Sunderland must be absolutely livid |

it's hardly mentioned in the Spanish press, but hasn't he a couple of other cases coming light for the same? |

Without being too crude about it, once a nonce, always a nonce. If he's got an attraction to young girls, he's probably always had it, and probably always will. If he does end up in prison, he'll have a rough ride, but I doubt it will cure him of his personal perversion. |

even so, and it's not to forgive him at all, 15 is not the same as someone say of primary school age which would be far more disgusting, but all the same if he's got a weakness for this type of temptation then he's got loads of wages to have paid for a bit of preventive treatment ... |
