It looked just as much like people tried to then help him up more than wading in on him. The lad that threw the elbow should have been charged and that should have been the end of it but he obviously isnt as high profile as Stevie is and wouldnt be able to pay out as much in compensation.
If you are in a heated debate with someone stood directly infront of you and you get an elbow to the head then you must know that unless that person has arms like Crouch's legs it is impossible for him to elbow you in the face and you not know if it was him or not ?
He claims, during the free for all that followed he witnessed the speed and precision of the punches thrown by Stevie but missed who elbowed him in the face at the start![]()
I will be more gob smacked than the bloke if the outcome of all this is anything more than a bit of compensation
we are lucky that the cctv of him with a upside down bottle in his had was not used. the point that it was not used i think was due to him falling over by the stand and looked no danger to anyone, this was said to happen 2 mins after he had hit the guy and once his friends had pulled him off.
Are you trying to say that our captain was a little worse for wear on a nigh out after hammering Newcastle 5-1 with him scoring 2 and playing an absolute blinder, oh andit was a night off over the christmas period??
Good heavens above, sack him now.
I feel sorry for him, he's had a bit to drink got himself into a bit of bother, had a bit of a bunch up, his mates have waded in and started a bit of a brawl. It happenes all of the time. Yes he shouldn't be in those situations but what I love about Gerrard and Carragher is that they are northern (for me cos I'm not scousen) lads who enjoy a pint and a bit of fun. They are bound to attract attention and do well not to get in more scrapes. If I was in a bar when he was there and someone was having a pop at him I'd certainly give the fella the old 1 2 so the Stevie didn't have to. We don't want him getting hurt now do we...
put it this way, when i have a drink i dont feel like hitting anyone.
Yeah, but you're not a top footballer who has to take loads off rival fans when out and about in public. Not excusing it, just putting it in context. Saying that you wouldn't do the same in Stevie's situation is any easy call to make when you remove all the context that goes into creating the situation.
