Steven Gerrard Arrested for Assault

[red g]

I don't post too often because I'm always ignored (!) but I've been a season tkt holder for 25 years now and I care very much about the Club.

The reasons this is so shocking are that we are talking the absolute role model for English football, in every sense, both as a player and a man. For everything that Joey Barton has got wrong, Stevie has got it right, in buckets. It's also shocking coming just hours after he was getting the praise of everyone for his performance at NUFC and at last the pundits are backing us to win the League. Talk about timing.

Reading the threads on here and the "bickering", it's clear you have two types of argument and both make sense.

Firstly yes of course Steve is allowed to enjoy his nights out and unfortunately in Clubs and Pubs anything can always kick off. I suspect this was all over in seconds and I trust (hope) that all Stevie did was elbow the feller in a moment of madness. I hope that it was one of his mates who did the damage with the glass when things kicked off. In my day this sort of thing happened in every town in the country and I can understand why some people on here are playing it down and even making a joke about it.

Secondly though because of who we are talking about - not the guy made good from Huyton - but one of the most successful and famous sports-stars in the world, this incident is making headlines in every country in the world. In one fell swoop our Club captain has fallen off his pedestal and the repercussions haven't even begun yet. None of us know what they will be - and I'm talking football not the crazy suggestions that this will bring the Club down. Utter nonsense.

What we need now is a statement from Stevie and very quickly before this story takes on a life of its own. We need a huge apology for the injury caused to the victim, without of course making any admission of guilt. We need a huge apology to the Club for the embarrassment and disruption caused. We need the Club to come out and say the matter will be discussed internally and any necessary action taken behind closed doors. We also need the Club to come out and support Stevie and remind everyone of his outstanding record as a Club captain and his behaviour on and off the field for both Club and country.As for Stevie himself he needs our support and he will get it. I can only imagine what the last 36 hours have been like for him. I bet he's a very worried feller right now.

Sorry this is so long - but I was trying to sum up where we are now.

why should there be admissions of guilt all round, when we dont know he is guilty.

[Pass-move]

There's obviously some sort of media silence being imposed. I asked my mate in the dog section how Stevie was doing and all he would say was "rough."

Media silence?

It's all over the media.

That said, it's an ongoing case, and there's only so much they can report without the facts and speculating wildely, which is a concept seemingly alien to our fans.

Shouldn't that be "ruff"

[Pass-move]

Are people even reading that post properly, or just agreeing with it because it's well written?

[Elvoz]

Well written or not, it was just mindless speculation and hysteria.

I agree with you about the speculation but er...

Well I don't know how it was spelled because he said it not wrote it.

That was, however, the joke.

[Jack D Rips]

How much does a new tooth cost these days anyway?

[Neil Young]

great post
I think at the very least we should give the victum and family a tour of Anfield where he can hold the euro cup the mancs won in 99.
I'm sure that would make his day.

joking apart -
we have no idea what happened
This could range from he glassed someone to he claimed inocence but the police think there's a coverup.

These sort of incidents happen every night in every town.

Real or veneer?

Also Pass-Move is a Manc

Is he?

[bobbyfallon]

just spent a half hour reading about speculation and **** all FACT.

so i thought i would sum up what should happen

gerrard stripped of the captaincy - carra in
gerrard dropped to the reserves while awaiting his case
gerrard to be sold if he is found guilty

pretty simple really

[Pass-move]

Yeah, born and bred in the Dingle and a season ticket holder for 25 years before I was priced out. Some manc.

I'm too good looking to be a manc anyway.
