Johnson has been charged with sexual activity with a child (aged 15) and grooming.

I will watch the case with interest.

As a Sunderland fan I'm personally not at all happy about Johnson being allowed to play whilst out on bail. If he was a teacher he'd surely be suspended until after trial, and footballers do have a lot of interaction with youngsters as part of their job.

Unfortunately he is one of the best players at the club and I can understand how tempting it is for the club to continue to play him. I just think they made the wrong decision.

Whilst I haven't gone so far as to boo him, I haven't clapped him or cheered him. Even though I've been in a minority of possibly one where I sit. I have felt very uncomfortable to see him out on the pitch given the allegations.
