Pretty much every day is a slow news day at the moment, so let’s take a look at those rat-munchers in Merseyside. The day after losing their opening friendly of the pre-season, Steven Gerrard appeared in court on charges of affray. The men who were with him that night have all pleaded guilty leaving Gerrard to stand trial alone.
Prosecutor David Turner QC claims that the fight started at the Lounge Inn, in Southport, Merseyside, when Gerrard asked McGee for a card that controlled the music in the bar.
Turner alleges that Gerrard said to McGee: “Here y’are lad. Give me that lad.”
He went on to say: “Mr McGee took offence at his attitude and the expression ‘lad’ and he refused. Not many people on Merseyside, or indeed anywhere else, would refuse a request from Steven Gerrard but Mr McGee did.
“There can be no doubt that this refusal astounded Steven Gerrard. He walked away back to his party but the CCTV shows how much his mood had changed. He was no longer the centre of that high spirited party.
“He was clearly walking around pondering, musing over what had happened – about the man who said ‘no’ to Steven Gerrard.”
Gerrard then allegedly went back to confront McGee, and his friend John Doran – who has pleaded guilty to affray – threw the first blow in a physical confrontation.
The prosecution then alleged: “We say at this stage Gerrard totally lost it. Almost immediately after the blow from John Doran, in fact within seconds, Steven Gerrard joined in the attack with a succession of well aimed uppercut punches delivered with the style and speed of a professional boxer rather than a professional footballer.”
Same ol scousers.
Man Utd News 24/7
Well what do you expect, he’ll get away with it anyway despite the clear evidence on CCTV. If this had been Rooney this would be a much bigger story with calls for him banned from the England team or football all together. Typical fucking scousers.
Oh and im suprised when the fight broke out he didnt just hit the deck claiming to be hit the hypocritical wank.
i had to go to Liverpool last friday to get replace a damaged passport….fuck me it was like a Warsaw circa 1944…..absolutely soulless place and full of boarded-up houses…..it’s the first thing you see when you arrive….full of scalls and nobheads, i went there with my united polo shirt on lol
no doubts the cunt will get off, they should have held the court session in manchester and send the fucker down…….
Fucking cunt. The sad bastard was out celebrating after getting a brace against Newcastle. Why Ronaldo didn’t do the same after smashing a hat-trick against them I don’t know! Hope he gets banged up and raped in the showers, while his dirty wife is getting spit-roasted by a couple of bouncers with McGee holding the video camera and directing things.
Ronaldo has acted with more dignity and grace than this scall and twat-faced tevez put together.
lol kings everything that u said sounds fair,as we all know the jury will say not guilty and send the cunt scot free…….
craigni – In agreement with you on that mate. Unforunately bastards like him will walk away scot free…
what a fucking cunt. Dirty rat munching gypo.
united player forgets a drug test and gets clocked speeding trying to get back to the testers
the world is put on hold for the evil hitler like rio ferdinand
lord fucking stevie will get a fine and appel that
ive just saved that video on my phone
if he gets away withthis im going to just punch a guy in a bar then play your video to the police
-side note-
nothing happened to him for punching the guy during the match
Kings etc – Hey up mate. The cunt is a fucking disgrace, an M.B.E to boot. Like you say if this was Wayne it would be front page news. He will walk away you can rest assured. He will get comm service and a fine or summat even though the CCTV evidence is overwhelming. The man is a prick and full of self importance. How dare someone say NO to Saint Stevie. It is this sort of behaviour coupled with the fact he has no league winners medals that he will NEVER go down as one of the true greats like Giggs and Scholes. A cunt of the highest order.
@ neejil
Exactly what I was thinking. I’m 100% certain that if any other player apart from Rooney had punched the corner flag at Fulham, they wouldn’t have been sent off.
Steven Gerrard, is a wanker, is a wanker …..
mufc the religion
rooney punched the flag after he got sent off
what happen forr him to get sent off was alot worse
united were losing
united had a free kick in fulhams half
giggs took it but the ref said it had to be retakin
rooney trew the ball back quickly because time was running out
rooney got sent off
‘Hard Man’ Gerrards not even won enough to be patronising to some guy in a pub
now Giggs has the right to be patronising, hes won it 11 times
shame hes a model professional, they havent got that burden on merseyside
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAajolbByAk&
does he only have the one set of clothes
this is what he was wearing at the bar
Is this what football is reduced to? Stupid comments from morons. Who really cares about Gerrard? I’m more concerned about replacing Ronny.
King Eric – Hey up mate, hope you are well. Top post mate. Yeah the guy is an absolute cunt who is caught up in his own self importance. It amazes how this bastard has an M.B.E and is held in the highest regard by people. Even those fucking cunts on ITV were saying how great it was to see him line up against Preston in the FA Cup after the ordeal he’s suffered – What the Fuck!? What about the guy who ended up in hospital after an unprovoked attack by this disgusting scouse cunt?! As you rightly said mate, he will probably get away with community service – probably teaching kids to play football, although I wouldn’t recommend it from a dirty twat like him. Just think of all the bad press Ronney was getting after punching the corner flag! Giggs and Scholes will always be greats because of their impeccable conduct off the pitch and the loyalty shown to United. These guys could of moved abroad because they are that good, but never whored themselves in the manner in which Gerrard did with Chelsea, weeks after winning the European Cup with Liverpool, then doing likewise 1 year later – this cunt is lauded as a loyal man and true professional. Fuck off Stevie Me you scumbag fucking cunt.
Never seen either of the two clips b4. Did the scally even catch McGee? Not clear on the CCTV. Still hope for more than comm service. knee-capping would a fair judgement. The one in the game was a cowardly cheap shot. Cunt.
The BBC clips show that he did land a few, dare I say, Ricky Hatton’s… I expect Stevie GBH to be sentenced to another year without winning a trophy. At least no judge or jury can affect that one. 19th and 4 in a row. sounds like the number of punches thrown/landed by the dipper.
Can someone explain the match bit to me please? It just looks like aload of shoving to me.
The write up and video aren’t that clear to me… Was it Gerrard’s mate who threw the first punch, and then Stevie joined in??
He’s a dubious character isn’t he …
Certainly his barrister will get him off without doubt, that’s the sad part …. it’s odd that his friend who threw the first punch has admitted causing an afray but guess who hasn’t admitted it? Hitting someone with a a series of sucker punches says a lot to me … he’s never do it upfront .. this is evidence enough for Capello to follow through with his threat that drop any player who isn’t a gentleman off the pitch …
He’s a complete fake .. walking around the place thinking he’s the lord of the manner .. a complete and utter egomaniac!
RJ – 3mins 10, Gerrard runs over and punches one of the Feyenoord players.
Mmmmmm United fans having a go here, a bit like in glass houses throwing stones eh? Errrrmmm Cantona scissor kick, and Rooney and his constand NASTY reactions on the pitch. I wasn’t exactly proud of Rooney in our recent game in Malaysia. Reacting like he did, no fecking need for it. If he gets himself sent off in pre season like he did in pre season Holland a short while back, and we lost him for important games start of season. Not to mention our own Roy Keane, and his tackles so nasty that he maimed another footballer for life. And yes I am a RED thru and thru, home and away, but I am also honest. We should leave this Gerrard mudslinging alone – sorry!
@ Isaidso – I agree on Rooney. And Cantona. Stevie G’s sucker punch in the game reminded me of Navarro for Inter vs Valencia. Any else remmeber the upraor surrounding that one. And the result? David Navarro was suspended for seven months. Stevie GBH? Nowt. Surprised? Me neither. And yes, of course Cantona got a deserved ban. No defence for violence and racism on/off the pitch. None.
He’ll get off with it just you wait.One rule for them and one rule for others.
If that was your normal man in the street he’d at the very least get a suspended sentence and community service.
Somehow I can’t see Gerrard doing some old grannys garden on a wet wednesday afternoon in Toxteth.
Isaidso – Firstly, Rooney only got sent off in the pre-season because he had a name for himself after being sent off in the World Cup. It was never a red card, as we all know, and he never should have been banned for league games because of it. Secondly, a goalkeeper smashing in to Rooney’s ear, which is stitched all the way up, is justification enough for him to react. He didn’t smack the keeper, he was just angry because it probably fucking hurt! Thirdly, how is his angry reaction to a keeper comparable to Gerrard going out in a bar and smacking someone repeatedly in the face because they wouldn’t let him play DJ?? Fourthly, if you’re talking about Haaland, he was playing the week after ‘that’ tackle. I thought all ‘thru and thru REDS’ knew that….? Maimed? Lol bluenose.
Scott – you are surely not supporting Rooney’s NASTY reactionary behaviour are you – Oh yes, you are – bloody unbelieveable, but I am not surprised. As for me being a blue nose, if that is what you are saying, don’t talk SHITE, just because 1 in 20 of your articles I don’t agree with. I am a Salford Red, and fucking proud of it. Live within spitting distance of the ground, so was raised in a family of Man United fanatics. Where do you come from by the way????? If Rooney in your opinion didn’t deserve to get booked in Holland, then it probably makes up for all the times he got away with a RED. I am sorry, just because I love Man UNited, doesn’t mean I have to be a sheep follower, and declare all our players saints when they have their faults. You faultless then Scott? By the way, go back thru some of the posts I have made on this blog if you doubt I am a true red, because I have fought for you and your articles when the true bluenoses frequent this blog to have a go – you can be such a tosser sometimes!
Isaidso – I called you a bluenose because I thought it was only City fans who perpetuated the lie that Keane ended Haaland’s career. I thought all ‘thru and thru reds’ knew that Haaland was playing days later on International duty and days after that for City. I thought all ‘thru and thru reds’ knew it was an injury to Haaland’s other knee the following season which ended his career. I didn’t realise there were ‘thru and thru reds’ who believed the bitters’ lies, and then spouted them off on United blogs. My mistake and one you made easy for me to make, because before now, I’ve only encountered City fans on here spreading those lies.
I’m from Sale and I’m not a tosser. Don’t get pissy with me just because you made yourself look like a twat with that ridiculous “maiming” comment.
kings
Hear hear

It happens in football. Rooney is no better than Gerrard.
The worst of the lot is Terry.
i wish jaap still played for us………would kill that sock robbing cunt.
The guy is a menace to society. Theft leading to dangerous driving leading to affray. What next? He needs locking up, an absolute disgrace.
Scott, FFS, Keane by his own admission said that he did Haaland with the intention of maiming him, in retaliation for Haalands nasty actions to him. I am NOT saying that Haaland did not rile Keane up, but I am saying that I am not an advocate of violence from whoever it comes. I did know that Haaland played AFTER the Keane incident, but there is still NO doubting, that Roy himself said he deliberately intended to DO Haaland. If Roy can admit to it, why can’t we? Your not trying to say that Keano was not a vicious player sometimes are you? Every club has there GREAT players, WITH FLAWS IN THEIR CHARACTER! Haaland has subsequently said, that the knee that caused him to retire was the one that Keane clobbered. Maybe he is lying thru his arse, who knows. I do know that Keane said he intended to hurt Haaland though. I give Keano points for his honesty. not for his INTENT – sorry! As for being arsey, I am a Salford Red, and both me and my mates are just about as arsey as you can get. For that I don’t apologise!
SG’s ‘mates’ have hung him out to dry. By pleading guilty they all agree with the prosecution’s description of what happened. The jury will have to bring down a guilty verdict – the judge will tell them to. He’ll get 6 months and be out after 4. With another month to get match fit, he’ll be back for the Xmas games. By then ‘Pool’s attempt to win the title will be well and truly over.
Ah well, there’s always next season.
Isaidso – At no point did I say it was OK for Keano to do what he did, I was merely responding to your comment: “his tackles so nasty that he maimed another footballer for life.” I’ve only ever heard City fans come out with that lie, which is why I assumed you were a bluenose.
Haaland has since blamed Keane, but at the time, on his own website, he revealed it was his other knee. The incident happened on April 21st and on April 25th he played the first half for his country and April 28th he played for 68 minutes in the league for City. Not maimed for life.
Roy Keane was a nutcase and the world commented on his behaviour. Gerrard beat the crap out of someone in a bar because they wouldn’t play the music he wanted – I see no problem with us commenting on that also.
Luv tha music Scott hehe
I’d just like to point out the saying ‘I’m a Salford red’ in no way makes your opinions more or less valid. No need.
I wasn’t born in Manchester or even near it but have been a die hard supporter my whole life, and if anyone told me my opinions weren’t valid because of my place of birth, I’d tell them to get bent.
Benjd, I wasn’t saying that anybody’s opinion wasn’t valied, so please read my posts properly mate. I was accused of not being a true red, and so was seeking to confirm that I was not only a true red, but a Saford Red, who to my mind are the salt of the earth. Call me biased, but I am a Salfordian, and love the area! I couldn’t care less where you come from Benjd, but you weren’t being accused of not being a true red, BECAUSE you had a different opinion to somebody. Anyway, I would rather not get into it with you! Its over as far as I am concerned!
Unfortunately I can’t see him serving a day in prison for this,community service teaching scouse kids how to play football will be it. Love to see him locked up in a cell with his old mate pancake! or should that be his wife’s mate pancake!?
Scott, my original post wasn’t that you made the post at all, it was really to address what many posters were responding with! I just wanted to point out that we have had our fair share of aggressive and reactionary players, and that was my sole intent. Anyway, we obviously don’t think on the same wavelength lol, so we will just have to agree to differ!
I think you’ve both got a point.
Well said benjd – you can’t win an argument by pointing out how close you live to OT!
Anyway – I’m pretty embarrassed by some of the first posts on here – if some of the revolting comments and sentiments reflect the average feelings of Utd fans then we’re no better than anyone else
King – even if its in jest, its stupid to criticise Gerard when you come out with such bile – grow up!
Amid some excellent journalism from Scott and some good banter there really is some petty, childish, vulgar rubbish written on here – which is a shame
Gotta hate tiny tears post is the best summary of this
Let’s not get drawn into comparing what some of our past players have done. That doesn’t change or justify Gerrard’s behavior. I do agree that if this was Rooney then the papers would be having a blast! I’m just surprised the hypocrite Gerrard didn’t dive in the bar…perhaps it was just because there was no referee, only video surveillance.
He’ll get a fine and a slap on the hand, nothing more. The papers have often slated Rooney for not being a good role model for kids on the pitch with his short-fuse (his temperament has improved a lot in my opinion) so I don’t see why the papers don’t focus on Gerrard in this matter and slate him for that.
If I was Gerrard I’d be really embarrassed by this, this video surveillance shows he’s full of himself and he is the only one who doesn’t plea guilty like the rest. Are we suppose to take his word for that…like when he said he didn’t dive and how he despised players who did?? Unlucky for Gerrard this incident was caught on tape, just like some of his nice dives…
Pete – calling some of the most regular and in my experience, well informed posters on this site idiotic morons probably isnt the best start. We’re not going to ‘replace’ Ronny, so stop thinking that way – we’ll play a different system and it’ll work or it won’t – we won’t know till the season is underway, so until then, might as well comment on the news of the day.
Isaidso – I can see your point about mudslinging, to an extent, but your examples aren’t great – Keane was a thug, and a great player, he was out of order for what he did to Haaland, but he did not maim him. As Scott has pointed out, Haaland played the next week for his country then for City – it was his other knee that ended his career. In terms of Cantona – not really excusable, but it still is one thing responding to racist abuse and another hitting a guy for not letting you be the DJ in a club. Rooney’s NASTY reactions on the pitch?? Yeah, my heart is in my mouth when I see him charging back for a tackle after losing the ball, and he can be gobby at times, but when was the last time you saw Rooney involved in absolutely any kind of scandal off the pitch? When was the last time you saw Wayne Rooney punch a player? He talks back and goes in too hard and stupid in some challenges, but that’s a completely different ball game to starting a fight when you’re drunk in a bar.
So whilst you might not want to defend Rooney, I will. His reaction in Malaysia? He talked back a bit to the keeper, then went in strongly, but fairly in midfield – used his body weight to shunt a wee Malaysian off the ball – he didn’t raise his studs, didn’t throw a punch, didn’t go to ground, didn’t ‘kick the hooligan’: he won the ball, referee deemed fairly! In my opinion – Rooney is an excellent role model – a scouser from a poor background who has not only escaped poverty through football, but excelled at it, and has at the same time avoided the trappings of fame, and has never got into any off the field trouble.
Even then, the comments here weren’t just saying Gerrard did it and we don’t – but the liklihood that Gerrard did it and will get away with it, whereas if it was someone like Rooney, he would have been hung, drawn and quartered by the English media. Gerrard punches someone in a game – no action taken, Evra throws and misses with a punch – with no evidence, supposedly, after being racially abused – 4 match ban.
Benj, good point.
@benjd
i could not agree more. well said.
rooney is a good role model as far as i concern. he neve fight like a street fighter in the ground or out of the ground. he shows the serousness off the game. he plays with the fashion. if some one tacles him bad only he does some times with harsh tacles to show the oppenents me is harder than u so not again. thats the message he want to give thats fair in a game. if anybody seen outside his football he is a very humble person as u wouldnt think.( past i dont know but now last 4yrs) he grown up from where he started. but gerrard as a player i do like him but most of the time he annoy me specially dive, some time cheeky punch like he did with feynoord, etc etc. dont compare rooney to gerrard, rooney is far far far better than gerrard. even if rooney does fight that may b the other person wrong and try to justify simple as that. he neve pull some one for fight like gerred.
I don’t think any of the normal posters on here discriminate like that.If you read this blog regularly,you’ll know Costas is Greek and is going to OT for the first time in his life(I think) this pre-season.
kevin,what is wrong with GHTT’s post??He’s one of the most regular commenters on here,while this is the 1st time I’m seeing your name.
On the Roy Keane tackle. Just like to point out that Haaland wasn’t miamed by Keano. Haaland got some treatment and finished that game. He then went and played for his country and city all within a week of being maimed. It was his other knee that caused his retirement and if you watch the “tackle” Haalnad leg was off the ground when keane hit it. Maybe sore, serious damage i doubt it very much as proved by him playing on.
Saint Stevie Me is innocent. McGee headbutted Stevie Me’s fist not once but several times and should be locked up for life!!
Latest stunt gerrard goin to courts for…. just hang the thieving and fighting cunt…. hehe
http://img238.imageshack.us/i/gavinsgerrard.jpg/
how did you find the video Scott ? I had NEVER seen it before !
Can’t see Gerrard do anything in that video, only his mate throwing a dig. I don’t doubt he was involved but it’s not clear from that. Was a stupid thing to get involved in but footballer aren’t renowned for their smarts.
- On the unrelated point that came up: Thought Rooney reacted poorly to his knock in Malaysia, I’m sure it was sore but it doesn’t justify lashing out. It’s obviously difficult not to react but you’ve got to be disciplined, it will come back and bite you and the team in the ass otherwise – Beckworth in the World Cup / Rooney in Euros / Drogba in CL Final.
I can’t stand the hypocritical prick. He’ll get off scott free, we all know that. Mores the pity
showed his guilt by trying to get out of the place sharpish!What a fuck up!!
What a cowardly prick… even had to bring a friend to throw the first punch.
Steven gerrard punched him yeah, however he did it in self defence and you can see that it was self defence and its funny how all the comments abouve are more than likley Man utd supports like the victim was, To say Gerrard is a cunt and we should send the fucker down is out of order as the cctv shows him being oused the the victime rasing his arm to punch gerrard so gerrard punched him first in self defence.
Gerrard is innocnet in all of this yeah he got his mate invole by so what if your about to be punched would you want to se your mate just sitting there doing nothing?
Also there saying Gerrard was rude and arrgoant, im an Everton fan and i live in Liverpool and that is how we speak like and if he didnt like how we speak than he should fuck off to Mnchester!
To ¡No Pasarán! Whre are you form and where about in Liverpool Did you go? Yes in Liverpool There are borded up houses but i bet there is form where you form and every were else in the counrty there is!!
Also if you had read the signse on the bords you would know that thoses houses are being re done okay!
You football fans disgust me with what your saying with vile rude and sickening comments!
Stick yo your own team and let Liverpool fans deal with this!
At least he didn’t dive for a penalty!
Shite dancing too by the way.
Gerrard is a damn cheat. Every time he gets even slightly brushed on a football field he rushes toward the referee with his imaginary yellow or red card in his hand like an over-anxious schoolboy.
Most of his ‘great goals’ have little to do with skill either. Most are hit-and-hopes from the edge of the area which end up in Row Z if they go wrong, and the ones that do go in are mainly down to the keeper being unsighted by a crowded penalty area.
GerrardisInnocent – An Everton fan sticking up for Saint Stevie? Mind you we all know he is a blue deep down. You know as well as we do the cunt is guilty. How dare anyone say NO to him. Twat.
fancy punching a dj for not putting on the quietfield rap haha
Oh I wonder how proud his family are…
How come you don’t have country full of prisons if that is considered as a serious offence? In Finland that would be “another day at the office”, five of those and you’re paroled, ten and community service and probably fifteen and you can kiss your freedom goodbye for six months.
Also we have this fucked up system where you get slap at the wrist if you are a celebrity because bad publicity is considered to be a punishment in itself. If someone is a “role model” he should act that way, not vice versa.
Well I know one place where Gerrard really is a role model.
everything is going right for united nothing is going is right for liverpool.
haha loving it.
Not many people on Merseyside, or indeed anywhere else, would refuse a request from Steven Gerrard but Mr McGee did.
Fuck off. That stepdad cunt came in my pub, acting large, er you go lad, give us it lad. Er, refuse. Fuck me.
I am going to start the scouse campaign right now. Justice for stepdad, sue the police, the truth must be told.
Makes my blood boil. Fucking press and abu press at that, poor stevie me and his ordeal.
Scouse TWAT. He should get round here if he is not used to hearing no. His wife aint used to saying no.
@Kilhar:Being a stepdad??
boogeyman.
Next time you see stevie me, ask “who’s the daddy”?
or not, if you want a slap!!!!
lol,mancstan.If I do see him ever(unlikely as I live in India),I’ll ask him for his autograph.Then tear it up like some dippers who asked for Giggsy’s autograph and then laughed in his face,saying they only took league winners’ autographs.
WHO’S LAUGHING NOW,DIPPER SCUM?
Mancstan – “His wife aint used to saying no”. Nice one mate.
GerrardInnoncent! – I live in Altrincham…but that’s beside the point…the first thing you see in the boarded up slums….then second is the impotent “capital of culture 2008″ poster which i thought was awfully ironic……
Gerrard to Jury : The fucking DJ quidly tried to headbutt my friends elbow and tried to spit his teeth at me so to prevent being hit in the eye by flying teeth I quicky wrapped the gentlemans head in his own jumper and tried to replace the flying teeth back in the DJ’s mouth….. and no time did I say to the nice DJ that I am a big football star and if I didn’t get my own way that I would get my mated to get him……Your honour, the jury must beleive me cos I am St Stevie of Liverpool and England (HOORAY)and if I am found not guilty of bashing the cunt….. I mean nice gentleman…..I can get all the jury season tickets for the mighty Reds
What a spoiled brat!! Someone had the cheek to say no to him and this is how he reacts! If it were you or i up on charges of assault they’d through the book at us! Dog face will get a slap on the wrist!
Wish he’d have kicked off in my pub. He wouldn’t be around to stand in front of a jury!! lol
If you’re out on the town tonight be careful not to look at a gang of drunkards that includes a Liverpool player. Apparently, if through the drunken haze, he believes you are going to hit him (even if you are minding your own business and he approaches you) it is perfectly lawful for him to beat you up.
