[Immenseman]

Hope he's guilty, that'd be like a quarter of liverpools team gone, right there ;)

Why do footballers think they are above the law like this, any money he will bloody get away with it aswell, any normal person would get a 6 month stretch or sumin for it.

[Immenseman]

we don't know what happened.... he might be completely innocent

[Imosae]

Yahoo! News Confirmed:


England football star and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been arrested following allegations of assault at a nightclub this morning.

[Immenseman]

thank you for your confirmation :S lol

[Imosae]

np bubz

[Throne Sofa]

Whey! Good news.

Why do footballers think they are above the law like this, any money he will bloody get away with it aswell, any normal person would get a 6 month stretch or sumin for it.
What makes you say this?

[efq]

Because they think because their celebs the law doesn't matter to them. Like awhile ago I think it was britney spears was arrested for something to do with a act of driving which broke the law. She was supposed to be arrested for ages but she was released within 1 day. But she said she knew it would happen. They think they can get away with things and Gerrard will prob be released in hours.

[Immenseman]

Unless you were investigating the case, you don't know what happened. If Gerrard hit the guy or whatever then he'll be treated like anybody else. He's an idol to children, I think he grew up from a very ordinary background, he's a beacon of light to some children who come from working class families. All of these things could be taken into consideration, he's done a lot of charity work etc.

[Funya Chin]

... but why does it? You're just repeating what you said. So, because a celebrity did something wrong it means they think they're above the law? No. OJ Simpson is one of them who do think he's above the law (not anymore thank Lord) but if Gerrard has done something wrong he'll be dealt with appropriately.

[efq]

OJ was different, although the Judge said his previous Murder case didn't effect his last trial, I bet it did.

It makes sense, look at a lot of celebritys arrested, they are released almost immedietly. Like I said, Britney got her sentance reduce by a huge amount.
Gerrard and 5 others we're arrested, so we'll see who is released first.

[Immenseman]

You're giving that one example of Britney, none of us really know exactly what happened. We could choose to believe the Media but even then who's to say they're giving the exact truth.

[efq]

The Police Spokesmen o.O

[Immenseman]

A police spokesman would not say "she has done stuff that should see her behind bars for years" simply because they're not allowed. Again, it was probably a newspaper where you read that, journalists have a great skill of hearing what they want to or publishing half of what the guy said.

[efq]

Skynews is where I watched it and the OJ Simpson trial and likely so will be Steven.G.

We'll wait and see who out of Gerrard and the 5 are released or get the shortest term.

[Immenseman]

What does that prove though... do you know exactly what each one of them done? No. Gerrard could have just been with the other five who laid into the guy or he might have been the one smashing the guys face in. We do not know, so if he gets released first doesn't mean he's getting away with things because of his celebrity status.

[efq]

They will tell us, but if he says he did something thats worthy of a longer sentance or even say like Britneys that hes being released early then we obv know.
If they say he was defending himself or was just there at a bad time then they'd say it.

[Immenseman]

So you're going to believe whatever the media feeds you? They want to cause controversy, they'll probably say he was carrying a knife too.

[efq]

Every celeb has a Police Spokesmen. I'll await for professional proof, not the medias.
I don't believe much what the Media say.

[Immenseman]

Yes, but they're not allowed to say "Gerrard was the worst but we released him because of his status" are they.

Please learn English.


Because they think because their celebs the law doesn't matter to them.

Terrible English but the fact is you're agreeing that celebs get away with things when they probably didn't do anything in the first place. Hence, you being drawn in by the sensationalism within the media. I'm doing a piece of A Level coursework just on sensationalism so take my word for it ;).

[Immenseman]

lol as if you do media adam, what a waste for someone with such high intellect.

[luce]

Good news for other teams if he's taken in :) but it's sad to see someone very much in the public eye doing this

[Immenseman]

Good news for other teams if he's taken in :) but it's sad to see someone very much in the public eye doing this

Do you know what he's done?!?! NO!!! :P

[Funya Chin]

I do innit. Easiest thing to do cos I'm only in 6th form 'cos I can't b arsed to get a job m9.

[Immenseman]

I'm in 6th Form too but that's no excuse to pick Media?!

[Funya Chin]

You're innit for uni though yeah? I ain't ;)

[efq]

Stop accusing people of terrible English, its perfectly fine so maybe you don't know English?

Why do you always assume celebs don't do anything, any celeb can get drunk and have a fight. Could of been spiked who knows.

What I've said has come from a reliable source, not the media.

[Funya Chin]

I'm not accusing lol, I'm saying you have terrible English.

I do English at A Level aswell so :$:$:$

[Immenseman]

You're innit for uni though yeah? I ain't ;)

Aye, why aren't you?!


I'm accusing lol, I'm saying you have terrible English.

I do English at A Level aswell so :$:$:$

Language or Literature or both combined?

[efq]

What evidence in this thread have you got that explains I have "Terrible English" ?

[Funya Chin]

What evidence in this thread have you got that explains I have "Terrible English" ?
That sentence right there, lol.

In addition - lol at your rep comment. I don't care about rep, I think you should've realised that I don't care much for anything on this forum anymore. My last 10 reps were red and the fact that you care so much about rep just makes me think you're even more of a sad act than you already are.

[Immenseman]

I knew you was going to reply with that, lol.

[efq]

That sentence right there, lol.
I laugh at you, few thousand more members you need to go accuse then. ;)

Anyway, some news will be out on Gerrard soon.

[Immenseman]

Until then we can make vicious rumours. I heard he had a gun!

[efq]

Witnesses and CCTV have already proven it, watch Skynews.

[Immenseman]

They saw him shoot two bullets too.

7000th post*+*

[Funya Chin]

Sky News is your realiable source?

THE MEDIA.

Jesus.

[efq]

Haha, If you believe Sky News is unreliable then really you can't believe anything.
Yeah maybe some of their news could be unreliable but after the CCTV was just released, it doesn't lie.

Hes so confident hes going to jail yet still signing autographs for his little friends.

[Immenseman]

Have you seen the CCTV footage?

[Funya Chin]

Oh my days. THE MEDIA. SENSATIONALISM = MORE VIEWERS = $$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[efq]

CCTV footage Skynews. Sky Channel 501.

[Immenseman]

I will not be brain washed!! CCTV footage isn't clear and Gerrard is pretty ordinary looking I'm guessing like 6ft brown hair in his twenties. Like millions of other people too!

[Swearwolf]

steven gerrard u rock ma world

[Funya Chin]

CCTV footage Skynews. Sky Channel 501.
I'll have a look now.

[Immenseman]

Report back to me Mr. Rose.

[efq]

I'll have a look now.
Good, then you can stop accusing Skynews of false accusations.
CCTV doesn't lie, I win kfnx.

[Immenseman]

You do not win at all, lol.

[Funya Chin]

You win **** all, I see a Snow Report and that's it.

[efq]

Lol where are you getting a snow report from o.o.

Keep watching it, it will come sometime during the hour.

[Funya Chin]

WELL THAT WAS A LET DOWN.

You could see plain as day that it was definately Steven Gerrard signing those autographs in that blue suit. Great evidence right there :rolleyes:.

[Immenseman]

lmao, i just watched that on the sky news website

[efq]

Rofl, thats on the website. The club has CCTV and Skynews have it.
Just watch skynews for a while today, it'll be on local news later anyway.

[Funya Chin]

AND AGAIN!

You've let me down more than the film Dan In Real Life.

[Robbie]

I'm also still waiting to watch this "CCTV"

[Funya Chin]

I've watched it for a whole 60 minutes now and still nothing.

[Jack.Lfc]

I bet the person who was supposidly battered said something about his kid.

[Andeeh]

Out of character for Gerrard hope it isnt true cause my opinion of him may dip slightly.

[Captain]

Liverpool are nothing without Gerrard so I hope he gets convicted. Anyway even if he does, he'll get a slap on the wrist whereas a normal member of the public would be sent to jail or something.

I doubt Gerrard did commit assault though, I think he may of just been there at the wrong time.

A slap on the wrist? more like he will be asked to get photos n sign things.

[Geraint]

Some nice unbiased opinions in this thread.

[lil...hotti]

Ihate wags

This is completely off topic :| and on Sky sports news its their main story and he's still in atm

[efq]

Hes nice, but being in a night club... If he was drunk or a bit over the top, you do things you wouldn't usually, plus his drink could of been spiked. Always a chance.

[Pyroka]

Stop acting like Mr detective Sam, its sad lol. Fact is he'll come to a cash settlement with the guy, if he did punch him. I doubt he'd just flip out on someone, he was probably either provoked or mistaken identity.

He's a good scouser lol.

[Loser]

It's much more likely that what happened was this drunk guy was hassling Gerrard, who pushed him out the way, the drunkard falls over and the media blow it all out of proportion.

[Jack.Lfc]

It was the dj, i think he has said something about gerrard.

They way everton fans sing about the baby not being his and things.

Gerrard charged in assault probe


http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45333000/jpg/_45333993_gerrard_getty_body226.jpg Gerrard was arrested in a street close to the Lounge Inn


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.

Two goals

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."

After the game on Sunday the Liverpool FC captain, who scored twice, hailed his side as the best he has played in.
Gerrard has been capped by England 70 times and has captained his country four times. He was made an MBE last year and received an honorary fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University.

Hope he gets a stretch in prision, far as i am concerned if anyone assualts anyone they are just dirty scum. How can he be a role model to kids now.

I agree, but he could have been really drunk - When your drunk you've got no control of your actions.

The most he will get is a fine and probably pay compensation to the guy he assaulted.

I don't think he will end up doing a 6 months prison sentence as what Joey Barton did but wouldn't that be great if it did happen! :P

[Skajo]

Being drunk doesn't dismiss you of any wrong-doings :S.

[Bun]

well he's been charged. idk if some1 else has said it but i cba reading through :).

[Titch]

well he's been charged. idk if some1 else has said it but i cba reading through :).

yh been posted. :p but i think he deserves everythink he gets.

[Throne Sofa]

I get the feeling Capello won't be too happy with all this...

[efq]

I told you, why do you people believe celebs are all good?

Now you know the other side of Steven G.

[Immenseman]

No we don't... lol.

We told you in fact that he would be treated the same but you wouldn't accept it. Well there you bloody well go, three people were charged three weren't. Stevie G was, therefore celebs aren't exempt from the law like you were trying to tell us.

[Browney]

they should make an example of him. its harsh but they need to show young kids you can just punch someone then give 'em money to shut them up.

[Throne Sofa]

I told you, why do you people believe celebs are all good?

Now you know the other side of Steven G.
What, do you know him personally?

[Jackboy]

In My Humble Honest Shif Key Abusing Opinion,

Immenseman is just jealous that Gerrard is better than him in football

[Jamie!]

Liverpool are nothing without Gerrard so I hope he gets convicted. Anyway even if he does, he'll get a slap on the wrist whereas a normal member of the public would be sent to jail or something.

I doubt Gerrard did commit assault though, I think he may of just been there at the wrong time.

Sorry to piss on your bonfires, but he won't be going to jail. From what I've seen, he has been charged with ABH, not GBH which is the more serious offence. Therefore he'll be likely to get fined/tagged/community service at the very most. Then they'll have to take into account that it's probably his first offence and that he's a pillar of the community with all his charity work etc away from football...


they should make an example of him. its harsh but they need to show young kids you can just punch someone then give 'em money to shut them up.
Why should they make an example of him just because he's in the media spotlight...?

[Browney]

because he plays for liverpool :8

no, because it's **** like that, that makes kids think if their hero does that its ok. or even if you can afford to put a man in hospital then pay him off, you have a right to do so.

which is a point, everyone like "i bet he just shoved him!" the guy was in hospital with serious facial injuries. :S

[Jack.Lfc]

Funny thing is the man who was assualteds name has been released, worst thing that could have happend.

[Antallica]

i read on sky sports news that steve has been bailed from court.

[illegal]

He hasn't been charged with it yet, also, it depends on a lot on the sentence, if he was provoked, if he was hit first, if he was even there, if it was him who hit/kicked the person who was assaulted. You obviously have no idea what your on about when it comes to the law and how police / courts work.
