Adam Johnson is basically saying that he kissed / touched her (guilty) but didn't know she was 15.........surely

[Gibbo]

Doesn't the grooming aspect suggest that he knew a bit about her though?

Nope, in a text he asked her "so when are you 16?"

Phil Gartside has died. Only 63. Dear me.

Reported where? Not seen that suggested in anything I have read.

I find it strange that they'd refer to a 15 year old as a child. Surely there is a more suitable term such as 'pubescent teenager' or 'non-adult teenager'?

[Hollowman]

We've got one, lads.

Struggling Bundesliga side Hoffenheim have appointed 28-year-old Julian Nagelsmann as their new head coach, replacing Huub Stevens, who was forced to step down earlier this week due to a heart condition.

Nagelsmann, who becomes the youngest head coach in Bundesliga history, had previously been handed a three-year deal to take over at the start of the 2015-16 season – but Stevens’ resignation has brought his tenure forward.

I actually find those terms odder. How often have you heard them used as reference to a demographic?

[Fivex]

Yeah well odder

[Saveloy]

Well, this has all got a bit awkward.

[Buzzo]

Sunderland have sacked Adam Johnson.

[ChesterDave]

The Internet (Facebook) responses predictably hysterical...
