Good - guilty as charged, good riddance.

To rub salt in, I'll bet my house that this story is featured in the WE on Friday, with another outing for the pictures of the poor girl with her face all busted up.

Hopefully, we'll learn something from this when it comes to taking a risky punt on a player with off-field issues.

You have it spot on, the express will love it..

I somehow doubt it, dont you?

Jailed for 2 years & 3 months

A good signing for Bradford for 2013 season

Shamefully bad PR and exactly the reason why I advocate staying well away from players who have the capacity to drag the club's name through the mud like this.

That bit of business by Shudds when we were on our arrises looks even cannier in light of this story, does it not?

I hope the victim is recovering well - at least she's seen justice done.

they could always run a story about a national captain, local public school boy, dwarf throwing g and t swigger married to a princess?

They could but they won't because he is part of the establishment and there is nothing good in it for the Express to upset the heirarchy.

At the risk of sounding like an old fashined something or other, we should not involve ourselves with people/ players of this ilk.
Kids still look up to professional sportsmen and we should try and set some sort of example.
Is Ben Cockayne still coming ?

Never understood this signing for you guys. Ok didn't know how well rated he was but was an unknown with this coming up and maybe chance lost to progress for Penny or another young lad at your gaffe!

We had no players and Shudds, having raided us whilst we were in administration, threw us the scraps from their table in what their fans insisted was an act of largesse; clearly it wasn't.

They'll make something up like they did on last weeks front page about myself and work mates.

forget the fact he wore a wakey shirt , a little more consideration for the poor girl . shes got perhaps a life time of fear to live with .

sorry about this but if its on front page tough , why should it not be ? the mans an animal . What if it was you sister ? wife ? g/f ? or daughter etc?

2years should of had a 1 in front of it

proberly not used to rejection

What's the chances of Johnson being an ex Wakey player whenever mentioned yet Ellis is always an ex Leeds player - funny that.

Seemed a very risky signing at the time that has really back fired. Oh well.

Not a bad thread this , lasted a whole 10 posts before Ben Cockayne s name was mentioned,God help the lad when he actually plays for us , some of us here would have you belive , we are getting Martin Bormann as fullback

Bormann in my opinion would not make a very successful SL fullback, as he tends to go missing a bit when it counts!!!
Not sure how good he would be under a bomb either!!!

fit in nicely then with us

And he could play for England!!!!!

I agree it is probably front page material but not for the Wakefield Express because the incident did not occur in Wakefield.
It is no doubt worthy of mention somewhere in the paper because Johnson was for a short time a Wakefield player but absolutely not front page material!

2 years 3 months and he will be out in what 8 months??? why is the law soft on monsters like him when that poor girl has to live with it for the rest of her life

You are absolutely spot on

baz and ben

Wasn't sure about Cockayne, but, after watching him on sunday I think he's worth a chance. When all that handbag malarky was going off Cockayne didn't jump straight into the middle of it like he would have at one time.He did get involved during the match when "appropriate" though.
