I never said it was right or wrong? i said i couldn't believe it.
Apart from anything else I can't imagine johnson being in the right frame of mind to play football, let alone a derby game, considering he's been investigated for having sexual relations with an underage girl? His employer's stated he would be suspended until the police investigation was completed, at least keeping him out of the limelight, for his own protection and well being i'd have thought.
If Sunderland had been in mid table safety do you think they would let him play and be subject to opposing fans abuse? no chance
I don't know why the suspect of the Claudia lawrence case hasn't been named keith, I do remember a suspect being named and bailed a couple of years ago which came to nothing? maybe they don't want to make the same mistake again? i'm not sure of the legalities of it.
What do you Sunderland supporters think? should Johnson be playing premier league football whilst still under investigation for such a serious offence? did you hear the abuse he got off the West Ham Fans?
old post so not bothered

Till he's charged it's just an allegation and he shouldn't have been named.
I think the club were wrong to suspend him in the first place, at least until he'd been charged with something. Any of us could be wrongly accused.
Whether he can play given the abuse he'll be subjected to is another matter, it may have a positive effect and spur him on, who knows.

quite right keith, truth is he's a decent player who has the ability to score or create a goal from nothing, as a nufc fan i'd rather him not play, as it is one less creative player for the already dour mackems.
By playing him the club are clearly putting their well being before the player's , which is understandable considering the position they're in (again)
the derby, I love it & hate it with equal passion, wish it was over and and done with we had sneaked 3 points and you lot were in the bottom 3

Raul Moat was a murdering coward , gazza was the best , most naturally gifted English footballer of his, and probably all other Eras. Unfortunately he has his demons and mental illness. Anyone who enjoys football knows gazza was a special talent (can't say that about many of the cheesy chip brigade can we
)The horse puncher ? One daft drunken "fan"

"gazza done nowt"
, nowt, apart from inspire a generation or two to play the beautiful game, lit up a world cup, and a european championship? Played for England, Spurs , Lazio, Nufc, Everton, Rangers (even boro) scored wonder goals and did it all with a smile on his face?he's widely regarded as the greatest british talent ever, not by just a humble fan like me, but by fellow pros & critics alike, fantastic balance, great vision, burst of pace, great at set peces a really intelligent player (on the field anyway)
Original Wayne Rooney? Is that the same Rooney who's won over 100 caps, and scored 47 goals? only 2 behind Sir Bobby Charltons all time record? Yeah, they're both over rated
Just because Gazza is a geordie he is over rated? I only hope your fishing knowledge is better than your football knowledge mate, or you won't be catching a lot
PS A Euro cup?
what is a Euro cup? do you mean the 1996 European Championships?It's only a shame we didn't have a Gazza type player for the derby

And?? That makes him the best british player ever? What has he won? Apart from Wally of the year? People make allowances for him because he is a alcoholic same as best, he contributed nothing to football he is an embarrassment I would hate to think my kids looked up to a person like him.

Alan Hanson was one of the first players to bring a continental style of footbal to England.

definitely , I thought Alan Hansen was a graceful defender, who read the game well, but he was a centre half and scotish ffs? I was talking about english gifted players
gascoigne in particular, and you bring up a scottish centre half If you'd mentioned hoddle , maybe that would have been relevantGeorge Best was another flawed genius, to dismiss them as wally's or embarressment who contributed nothing to football is unbelievable, mental illness is not to be sneered at, though as a mackem I'm not surprised
you could have said beardsley, brooking, keegan, le tissier, barnes , rooney, scholes even?
you picked Alan Hansen, and said gazza contributed nothing to football(alan hanson

Well what has gazza contributed? And what did he achieve? How many Trophies did he win? How many awards? Not saying mental illness is a laughing matter but when some one has had as much help as him and still goes on the drink he deserves everything he gets, same as best what did he contribute? Yet the likes of Beckham gets slated as he has odd dress sense I know who I would want my kids to turn out like, and gazza could not lace beckhams boots IMO
