You're giving out about Liverpool fans for not thanking you for posting a pic that we've all seen only about 300 hundred times before.:rolleyes:

Tis Xmas. He just played a blinder. He's not playing again for a week. What's wrong with going out to let the hair down?

Was thinking the same thing. Then I realised that it is nearly 2 weeks until the next league match and he has probably been told that he would be rested for the FA Cup match in between.

Your making out that because he was arrested he's guilty. I pointed out that in the majority of cases it proves to be false.

6 days away from a poxy FA Cup match he might not even play in?

Sky News are insinuitating (whilst not exactly stating) that he personally threw glass in the place. Theyd want to be careful........

Hmm. Not as full of groundless rumour, accusation and interviews with slack jawed self claimed onlookers as I was hoping. Where did The Sun lose its way?

He's obviously guilty, give him the death penalty.

But let John Terry take it.

Or Ronaldo

Released late last night according to Telegraph but no comment as to whether charges are to be brought against him or any of the others involved.

No reports of the other 5 being released any earlier than him so I don't think you can take his period of detention to indicate that he was the main suspect. Most likely the bizzies just interviewing the lot of them & any other eye witnessess to find out exactly what happened before releasing them.

That DJ must have been playing some muck to get that treatment.

Either that or he is an Evertonian and threw in a snidey little comment in between mixes, riling up the gang.

Hopefully this is all a load of old boll0x and disappears later today.

One report suggested Gerrard and a group of his friends were involved in an altercation after the man refused to allow them to choose the songs played on the venue's sound system. Gerrard is a big fan of Phil Collins and counts the singer's greatest hits as his favourite album. He is also partial to Coldplay.

Gahahaha.

This could be a bit of a disaster... hopefully he'll be able to concentrate on his football while all of this is going on.

Wow

The court date is just after Liverpool face Everton!

spockety

Lots of ifs and buts until the whole story comes out.. BUT.. Rafa may have a decision to make about the captaincy, at least temporarily.

We're fond of bleating on that captain X, Y, or Z (usually John Terry) isn't a role model for young people etc., and a captaincy should be taken off him for things he does on the pitch. But being up on assault charges for throwing a glass at someone's face is pretty damning.

mike65

Ah but if he does strip the captaincy off him is that not pre-judging?

England and Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard has been charged with assault and affray following a disturbance outside a Merseyside nightclub.

The 28-year-old was arrested along with five other men near the Lounge Inn in Southport in the early hours of Monday.

A 34-year-old man was taken to hospital with facial injuries, not thought to be life-threatening.

John Doran, 29, and Ian Smith, 19, both from Huyton, Liverpool, have also been charged and bailed over the incident.

All three will appear at North Sefton Magistrates' Court on 23 January, accused of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray.

Three other men have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

In a statement, a Merseyside Police spokesman said: "Merseyside Police has charged Steven Gerrard, 28 years, of Formby, Sefton, John Doran, 29, and Ian Smith, 19 years, both from Huyton, Liverpool, with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray following an incident at Bold Street in Southport in the early hours of Monday, December 29.

"The three men will be appearing at North Sefton Magistrates' Court on January 23."

Given others were released with no charges he seems have been in the thick of it. Looks like he could be facing time, as its a fairly serious charge.

It's a very difficult situation that Gerrard has put Rafa and the club in , IF as suggested he has actually been charged.

Maybe a 'look son, you have enough to be worrying about for the next few months, and I want you to just focus on your football while you're on the pitch, so until this mess is over and done with, I think it's best for you, the club, and the fans if we temporarily hand the armband to Jamie. I'm sure everything will work out grand and you can pick up where you left off in a few months, (just in time to lift the league trophy...)"

From the Mail

Witnesses of the alleged attack said Mr McGee, a Manchester United fan, was in charge of a card which allowed the music to be changed.

They claimed Gerrard asked for a particular tune but was told that it was not club policy to play requests.

At that point the footballer allegedly pushed past Mr McGee, catching him with an elbow.

A police source said: 'Mr McGee retaliated and swore at Gerrard, which was when Gerrard's mates turned violent and assaulted him.'

Friends of the England star insisted he had been reacting to provocation and had thrown no punches himself.

Mr McGee, a father of two who runs a double glazing firm, was taken to hospital where he received four stitches to his forehead and treatment on a cut nose, swollen eye and a dislodged tooth.

I can't imagine it's blind support.. I'd be stunned if they put up a statement like that without being satisfied that he has a supportable case...

Eh, he is Mr Liverpool , their best player and most valuable asset. Of course they will blindly back him (note I dont know if he's guilty of anything but just saying his club would back him to hilt eitherway)

If they knew for sure (for example) that Gerrard erupted in a fit of rage, jumped across a bar, glassed a man in the face before kicking his teeth out on the ground, I doubt you if you would have seen such a statement.

Says it all really. Disgraceful carry on from a thug of a player.
