IT has emerged that Accrington Stanley youngster Robert Grant was arrested after he became caught up in a nightclub disturbance in Southport, which saw Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard charged with assault.

18-year-old Grant and goalkeeper Ian Dunbavin, 28, were both at the Lounge Inn night club in Southport with Gerrard's party when the incident occured said Accrington manager John Coleman.

Grant was arrested along with Gerrard and four other men but has been released on bail pending further inquiries, whereas Dunbavin a close friend of Gerrard's was not arrested.

Gerrard, the Liverpool captain, was out with friends, celebrating Liverpool`s 5-1 defeat of Newcastle. But Stanley boss John Coleman said neither of his players would face any disciplinary action after the incident.

Coleman told the Lancashire Telegraph: "I have spoken to them both about the incident and as far as I am concerned they did nothing wrong.

"I understand it is very unlikely that Bobby will be charged.

"They were out having a quiet drink six days before their next match. They have broken no club rules.

"Bobby and Ian will be offered the same sort of support by Accrington Stanley that Liverpool are offering Gerrard."

An incident at around 2.30am on Monday and saw Gerrard charged with assault and affray.

Accrington Stanley who are they

Look what face Capello has been saying. You would think he would be a bit more sensitive towards Stevie.

Capello: Don't be like Gerrard!

Fabio Capello aimed a sideswipe at Steven Gerrard’s lack of discipline when giving advice to Fiorentina’s Riccardo Montolivo.

The Liverpool midfielder was recently charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray after an alleged nightclub brawl.


Gerrard has often been held up as a positive example for young Italian players to follow, while Montolivo has singled him out as an idol.


“Let’s hope he doesn’t want to imitate Gerrard in every way, especially with regards to recent behaviour,” said England manager Capello on firenzeviola.it.


It is still unclear whether Capello will exclude Gerrard from internationals until the legal situation is sorted out, but Liverpool have rushed to defend their star player.


Capello was speaking to Montolivo when he visited Fiorentina’s winter training camp in Marbella yesterday afternoon.


“I was happy to be here and I always have fun chatting with [Cesare] Prandelli about football. Fiorentina are a great squad.


“I won’t talk about tactics because it doesn’t seem appropriate for me to do so, but I can only say that what I saw here was really very interesting.”


Capello also had a special word for Adrian Mutu, who had worked with the Coach when they were both at Juventus.


“He is doing extremely well and represents a crucial figure for this team.”

What i wouldn't give for Gerrard to turn around say he doesn't want to play for England any more.

Apparently he is a citeh fan and not a manure fan. 
I heard off a copper mate of mine that he didn't want to press charges against Gerrard and it was the CPS that have brought the charges against him based on cctv footage. They have also taken into account that he was signing autographs and having his photo taken all night, so that may work in his favour.

He was bailed to appear in court later this month by the police not the CPS. The CPS do not get involved that early. Once he was bailed by the police the file is then sent to CPS to see if there is a case to answer.
