[dom9]

Do you actually know of what he is accused of doing?
Or judging by your posts just jumping on the nearest bandwagon

Er, the charge was assault.

As for bandwagons, what are you on about?

Love posts like this.
Nowhere in the alleged offence did it say he struck her.

Her own witness statement says that.

You ****ing helmet

Liverpool's Raheem Sterling girlfriend assault case collapses

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-24178588

Raheem Sterling walked free from court after the case was withdrawn
Liverpool and England footballer Raheem Sterling has been cleared of assaulting his former girlfriend.

The 18-year-old was accused of attacking 19-year-old model Shana Ann Rose Halliday during an argument after a night out in Manchester.

Mr Sterling, from Woolton, who denied common assault, walked free from court after the case collapsed.

Liverpool Magistrates' Court heard Miss Halliday's evidence contradicted earlier statements.

The court heard the player and Miss Halliday had gone out for a meal on 8 August but on the drive back to Liverpool an argument started about a text message on Mr Sterling's phone.

The prosecution alleged Mr Sterling assaulted her twice in his car, but it then withdrew its case when Miss Halliday failed to support the prosecution's case by giving "disappointing" evidence.

Mr Sterling, a winger, has appeared for Liverpool 43 times and has one cap for England.

A Liverpool FC spokesman said the case had been "a private matter for Raheem and as such we will not be making any comment".

Get him in the team for Saturday, he'll be buzzing.

Her statement was ridiculous

Shape up! Liverpool boss Rodgers tells rising star Sterling to change his lifestyle

Brendan Rodgers has warned Raheem Sterling he will put his fledgling career in jeopardy if he does not ‘stabilise his life’.

The Liverpool winger was cleared of assaulting his former girlfriend at Liverpool Magistrates Court last week when the case against him collapsed.

But that was not the first time Sterling has had to contend with legal issues in his short career, as he was quizzed by police over an assault last November.

Liverpool rewarded Sterling with a lucrative five-year contract last December when he turned 18, and Rodgers says the time has arrived for him to knuckle down and recapture the form he showed when he burst into the team in August 2012.

At his best, Sterling has an explosive change of pace and skill that can torment defenders but Rodgers does not want him to be left with regrets, which is why he has taken the opportunity to remind the youngster of the standards that are required.

‘He needs to have a clear mind in everything in his life,’ said Rodgers. ‘We mustn’t forget he is 18. We have 18 and 17-year-olds on the bench at the moment. He needs to stabilise his life.

‘He needs to understand the remarkable opportunity he has at one of the biggest clubs in the world and focus everything on his career.

‘Once he does that and he is clear in his mind, once he has got no distractions, we can get to the level of performance of the first four to five months of last year.

‘He is a good boy and had lots going on last year when he was put in the spotlight and he did well, but now it’s about him focusing on his football.’

Sterling is considered to be one of the brightest young players in the country and has already been capped by England — he made his debut in a friendly against Sweden — but he has not developed during 2013 as many envisaged would be the case.

He came on as a substitute on Wednesday night at Old Trafford in the Capital One Cup but failed to make an impact against Manchester United and the same was true when he came on during the defeat to Southampton last Saturday.

That performance came 24 hours after he had been in court, but Rodgers insists he has never had any thoughts of withdrawing Sterling from the spotlight and has promised that Liverpool will provide him with the guidance and support he needs to fulfil his potential.

‘I’d spoken to him before (he went to court), and been with him all the way through it,’ said Rodgers. ‘If I felt it was not the correct thing (to play him) I would not have had him involved. He was fine.’

its a shame that brendan has had to make this public.
you have to wonder if there have been private discussions and the message just isnt getting through. maybe the manager feels that highlighting it will kind of force the message home.

i really wonder if raheem will ever settle down. i reckon we will end up selling him.

saying he is only a young lad, etc, really isnt an excuse in this day and age. you dont see jordan ibe having his name blasted across the local papers getting into trouble.

I wonder what Sterling thinks about the manager talking about things like this in the media?

Should be something between the manager and the player only.
