I believe that they have caused more harm than good with this story, when this goes to court mr johnson`s representative will say that he has been sentenced by the media & probably get it thrown out of court. Not much justice for the victim !

Have your say with the express,let them know how you feel,my e-mail's on it's way,bombard the paper!!

FFS!

What a sordid, nasty little cabal of anti-Wakefield tosspots runs our local rag; it's clear that they revel in denigrating the city and for some reason, reserve the worst of their gutter press aspirations for our only professional sports team.

We all have a responsibility to boycott the paper and to bombard the editor with complaints about their blatant editorial agenda against WTW; it's a total disgrace.

In the interest in balance i do agree there has to be some publicity re: this but. Timing and FRONT PAGE!! maybe an article on the back pages would have been more appropriate.

You have to be joking though. with all the positivity and a club saved and they write about one young player who has signed and as yet not been convicted.

Very poor and i buy every week but i will avoid now.

How much paper do you think they will dedicate to printing an apology if he is found not guilty?

If the story is true we can hardly complain, we are trying to get the folk of wakefield behind us by promoting ourselves as a family club. If true the cowardly act is despicable and the person concerned should not be at our club. Imagine if the girl involved was your daughter what would be your feelings then ?

If he is convicted then he will no longer be at the club, he will be behind bars.

The club did sign him in full knowledge of the baggage behind him so can't be too surprised at this headline, no matter how sensationalist it is. Perhaps they should've waited till the after the hearing before moving in. Of course Huddersfield might not have been wanting to get rid if he was found not guilty.

Why the heck not? No-one is saying don't run the story - but we're grateful just to have a club right now and yet one negative story, about someone not even from Wakey, and it's on the front page FFS!

Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Until the lad is charged and tried maybe we should all keep our oppinions to ourselves including the Wakefield Express.

It's the front page thing that gets my goat, and the way the headline is put. Judgement by media is not acceptable.

The story is true as the Express have reported as in a girl was glassed and Johnson has been arrested for it. The important bit is whether he is guilty or not. I totally agree that what has happened to this girl is disgusting and terrible. I think we crossed the line of being a 'family club' a good while ago regarding the players that we sign and the behaviour of players on our books. Would be interesting to know where people think the line should be drawn on players who have broken the law ect.

As to the Express is not the fact that they have printed this story it is the fact that it is on the front page and that it comes on the back of a hugely positive and important week for the club.
