Shouldn't we change the thread title to "Gerrard's not in trouble" ?
[/quote]

Nah, we should close the thread and use Oncy's one instead.
 
I feel sorry for him having to go through that. How the hell it ever got to court remains a mystery I really hope some reporter now explored.

Correct verdict. It was a farce that it ever got to trial. I've see repeated offenders get off for far worse than that. Plus Gerrard is an honest lad and it was completely out of character.

Horrible manc twat, no pay off for you.

The lad supported United so he clearly wasn't from Manchester, or any of the surrounding areas.
 
Now can he now fly over to Singapore to celebrate with us? It will be a huge celebration and I can throw in a couple of mancs for him to hit ....

Afraid not mate, he's booked some bar in Southport for a celebration party. Apparently he likes the DJ there & they let him wash his hands every 2525 seconds.
 
Gerrard cleared after bar brawl

Steven Gerrard said he was glad to put the case behind him

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been cleared of affray after punching a man in a Merseyside bar.

The England midfielder admitted hitting Marcus McGee, 34, in the Lounge Inn, Southport, in December last year but denied the charge of affray.

A jury at Liverpool Crown Court agreed with Mr Gerrard's assertion that he was acting in self-defence.

Speaking after the hearing, the player said he had put it behind him and was looking forward to the season ahead.

Six friends of the 29-year-old footballer, of Formby, admitted charges connected with the brawl.

Mr Gerrard emerged from court to applause from waiting Liverpool fans and said he was pleased with the verdict.


The verdict is a credible verdict on the full facts of this case, and you walk away from this court with your reputation intact
Judge Henry Globe

"I'd like to put this case behind me. I'm really looking forward to the season ahead and concentrating on football," he said.

"I'd like to say a big thank you to my legal team, my friends and family and to everyone at Liverpool Football Club for supporting me."

Members of the jury took just over 70 minutes to find the Reds' captain not guilty.

Judge Henry Globe told him: "The verdict is a credible verdict on the full facts of this case, and you walk away from this court with your reputation intact.

"You did not start the violence, it was started by the violent elbowing of Marcus McGee in the face by one of your friends John Doran," he added.




"At all times you insisted that you only ever acted in what you believed was reasonable self-defence to what you understandably, albeit you accept mistakenly, believed was an attempted attack upon you by Marcus McGee.

"What at first sight to the casual observer may seem to have been a clear-cut case against you of unlawful violence, has been nowhere near as clear-cut upon careful analysis of the evidence."

Mr Gerrard had been drinking with friends in the early hours of 29 December last year to celebrate Liverpool's 5-1 win over Newcastle United.

CCTV footage from the bar showed the group drinking beer, downing shots and dancing round while chanting football songs.

But the trouble flared at around 0200 GMT when Mr Gerrard wanted to change the music on the CD player, but was refused access by the man holding the control, Marcus McGee.

Mr Gerrard told the court he had been trying to ask Mr McGee why he had a problem with him when the businessman "very quickly" got off his bar stool.

He said he "firmly believed" he was about to be punched, and swung out in self-defence.

Mr Gerrard was quickly pulled away by friends and told the court he was "sorry about the whole incident".

The victim lost a tooth and suffered cuts to his face in the ensuing violence.

Five of Mr Gerrard's friends admitted affray.

They are Ian Gerrard Smith, 19, of Hilary Avenue; John Doran, 29, of Woodlands Road; and Paul McGrattan, 31, of Linden Drive, all Huyton; and Accrington Stanley footballers Robert Grant, 19, of Enstone Avenue, Litherland; and Ian Dunbavin, 28, of Guildford Road, Southport.

Another friend, John McGrattan, 34, of Rimmer Avenue, Huyton, admitted threatening behaviour.

Anyone know what his mates sentencing date is? They've quite clearly done Stevie proud by all admitting guilt.

August 7th for all of them.
