Liverpool Backing Gerrard. This Is Wrong?

[Nadger]

I think the point that everyone is missing in their haste to show off about their understanding of the law, is that it is so predictably Liverpool to 'back' him, rather than offer no comment or a more circumspect response to the media than 'we back our own'.

Expect Celtic to join in with a Justice For The Southport One, replica shirts tied by sobbing scousers to the cringy You'll Never Walk Alone gates, and a sickeningly insincere show of Scouse solidarity irrespective of whether they have crushed people to death, brained a Bulgarian barman, or been a pissed up dickhead in a crap provincial nightclub.

No need to debate the tits off the legal aspect of that, just on whether scousers are boring self righteous morally bankrupt c unts, which should take all of 10 seconds.

Could not of put it better myself and what can you expect from a club that their supporters urinated on, pick pocket and beat police men up trying so save their own fans

 

[SICKASAGULL]

I agree that we should not assume he is guilty until we hear the case, likewise Liverpool should do the same, no doubt they are concerned he might move on if they dont show blind faith.

 

[The Spanish]

You are a complete f***ing twat

you are coming across a bit of a c unt yourself.

is he your brother or something?

i dont buy into all that hillsborough rubbish mate dont try and tie me to those views. I mean the overall self mythologising and self pitying, not newspaper fairytales.

 

[m20gull]

It's a defence mechanism by the CPS and the fact that charges have been brought shows absolutely nothing. When there is a group involved, if they don't charge Gerrard he can appear as a witness and give evidence which might favour the defence. If they charge him he can't. Then when they get to court they can drop the case against him and his eyewitness statement is disregarded by the court.

 

[Easy 10]

Scousers.

From what I read in the one report I have seen (Evening Standard) the DJ pushed Gerrard, who retaliated with an elbow and then walked off. Then Gerrard's mates gave the bloke a kicking.

So sack him, cut off his feet, make him share a cell with Luke McCormick.

I wonder if Michael Shields will turn out for his prison football team wearing a "Free the Sefton One" t shirt.

how can you argue with somebody who is a Sun reader


If it was Rooney instead of Gerrard then I would wager a totally different bunch of posters getting the gallows ready with some of the above blinded by their Gerrard/Liverpool hatred supporting him. Still why should the truth get in the way of a good binfest.

 

[Buffalo Seagull]

But he hasn't been proved to be guilty. Yes he has been charged but the law doesn't work in such a way that 'if you are charged you must be guilty'. It's not sending out the wrong message, it's just Liverpool wish to stick by him until he's found innocent or guilty.

If he's found guilty and they stick by him then it is sending out the wrong message.

And to be honest, what he's done is no worse than what Joey Barton has done.

Totally agree. Liverpool should be allowed to support him until his day in court.

Interestingly, there have been a couple of cases in Australia in the last few months that have gone the other way.
Swimmer Nick D'arcy was kicked off the Australian Olympic team after he was charged with assault (the court case wasn't until after the games). They argued he had brought the sport into disrepute.
And Cronulla rugby league player Greg Bird was suspended indefinitely by his club after being arrested for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend (although charges were later dropped)

 

[Nemesis]

If he is found guilty, he shouldn't play for England again.....LFC can do whatever they wish, but the FA should make sure that FOR ONCE, decency is observed. He should be stripped of his MBE and should not be considered a representative of his country..........

You mean in the same way that Jeffrey Archer was stripped of his title after being found guilty of perjury? Or Mick Jagger being given a Knighthood despite a couple of druggy convictions?

Get a life for crying out loud.

He was in a bar/restaurant having a couple of beers. Anybody on here know EXACTLY what happened other than it's Gerrard and he's a scouser so he must be the devil incarnate.

You got your user name wrong-still, didn't expect a Sun reader to be able to spell TADGER.

What a f***ing idiot you are.

 

[itszamora]

Like you when you raped me

But I said surprise?

 

[Lord Large]

Until he is found guilty in a court of law then nothing at all should change.

And even if he is found guilty, he almost certainly won't go to prison anyway.

If I was arrested for affray and my work suspended/sacked me I would be straight onto my union rep or employment specialists.

You are sounding like your own description of scousers.

More to the point, how does a Sun reader actually have the intelligence to turn a computer on


Fair play though, most of the contents of this thread have given me a good laugh.

 

[RM-Taylor]

Throw the **** in a cell and throw away the key!!!

Well said Darren

You didn't answer by question the other day Nemesis;

I was just asking why you always stick up for everything and anything to do with Liverpool and Scousers?

Nothing against you, but that's always the case.

 

[RM-Taylor]

What I do not understand here is why when the same offence (at least I think it was; assault and affray) was commited by Joey Barton, that I would say the majority on here agreed that he should not be allowed near a football pitch again and should never be involved in an England set-up, can stick-up for the Diving Cheat? Is it because you like him as a footballer that it would hurt for you to think that he is in trouble and might get a nice welcoming by the prisoners? (not that he would go to prison, no doubt he'll just get a fine)

Putting it simply; why back Gerrard and not back Barton? Some people are serious hypercrites

I have neither condemned Barton nor backed Gerrard, but if some people have maybe it has something to do with Barton having a long and varied history of violence and aggression on and off the pitch? That and the fact that Barton was convicted for assault. Twice.

You've asked someone else why they always stick up for evwrything and anything to do with Liverpool. Can I ask why you are the opposite? You seem very eager to put the boot in.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

That's the point - the offence has not been committed by Gerrard until the law says it has.
