Sure, that's what I'm saying. Â Johns should go and Brett should stay. Â What's your problem? Â To play football one doesn't need to be a 'cleanskin', unless one wants to play in England.
To front a TV show? Evidently the owners of the station require that. Â Funny isn't it. Â Who cares about Johns? Â I certainly don't. Â I'd like to pork his wife though. Â
He was just a footballer when this happened.
And what about say Andrew Okeife

Im not trying to have a go at brett but surely you guys can see the hypocrisy. Like it or not Adultery is common place and not really that big-a-deal
So your better half would think that it was not a big deal if you were rooting 19 year old girls every night? Â Â

And what you are saying is that no other personality on television has ever committed adultery?
That's a pretty big call.
Isn't Matthew Newton still on television, after his assault on Brooke Satchwell.
Surely you can not pull the morality card in all this.
His wife and him have obviously dealt with all of this privately and together, she has forgiven him, the police say there is nothing to answer for yet he loses all he has and puts his families well being and security in danger because of a mistake when he was a kid.
Surely you went away with a football team when you were youner, hell even at school, and you can not tell me that you didnt get up to no good, no matter what that may have been

It wasn't a personality who said that adultery is no big deal. You did.Â
He wasn't a kid when he rooted her he was 31 and married. Surely at 31 he would have enough sense to know better? He is just like footballers who think that they can do anything and get away with it. He is now sorry because it has been brought up all over again by the media.Â
Doing things at school and with the football team was different because I wasn't married then John's was. If John's had been 21 then I could understand it.Â
Being in the media is like being a politician. If you have skeletons in your closet they are going to come out sooner or later particularly if you have upset someone.Â
John Brogden suffered a similar situation. John's should just get another job and get on with life.
