Steven Gerrard,court case.

[Pinkie]

It wasn't much of a brawl. Personally I think it's a complete waste of public money that this even went to court.

Not guilty then, I bet the others are gutted

Exactly I bet they wished they had pleaded not guilty as they would have got off too

 

[Questions]

How can he plead self-defence when his mate had already elbowed the other fellow ?

How much self-defence did he need.

in the video its obvious that the recipient of Gerrard's ire was unable to throw anything offensive other than an insult.... Stevie G is a lucky boy

He's lucky alright. Lucky he's wealthy.

The others have probably been paid off by SG. They'll get a few thousand and he'll be a free man.

I'm not sure how pleading guilty to affray helps someone else that was there to get off.

I'd imagine in reality, it has the complete opposite effect.

What I think happened here is that the others got involved again (after the CCTV pictures we have seen) and Gerrards involvement in the overall fighting was limited in relation to the others.

Gerrard should be glad that he wasn't charge with assault, which I imagine is much easier to prove.

As to comment above that the trial was a waste of money, well it wasn't really because at least a few idiots have been convicted.

 

[beorhthelm]

yeah, seems to me the footage would have proven common assault at least. makes you wonder why they went with affray...

have any of those pleading gulity been convicted yet?

 

[NMH]

The victim of this assault should make a statement challenging Gerrard to a 1 on 1 go in the ring (or cage), then let him step up on his tod and see if he can back it up.

My money would be on the victim, of a bloke who needed 5 mates to back him before he had the bottle.

That's usually how it works. I presume you mean sentenced ?

I think next month.

I doubt it's that gerrard is rich, it's more that he's a liverpool hero.

i dont believe its a forgone conclusion, they have admitted the offence but a judge still needs to convict them? often hear of crackpots pleading guilty to crimes, doesnt mean they're found guilty and convicted. i wonder if the outcome of this case will have a bearing on the others.

Yes, but as I said usually - I don't imagine the Judge will disagree. We've only seen the Gerrard CCTV, from what I understand the fisty cuffs continued after that.

Funny place for it to happen, I was having a beer very near there the previous night. I was also in the pub they visited before going to lounge.

It's usually quiet as a mouse round there. Imagine Eastbourne in the winter.
