Interesting name MB. More interesting than the opening post to tell the truth, but I guess only time will tell if you're right or not.

Not trying to be a smart :censored:

, but what the hell is the matter with the laws in England? Being held 40 hours in a police station for a small fight in a pub? I just hope that Steve will not get any jail sentence or something like that and will manage to somehow put this behind him and focus on the premier league. And that Dj , well i just hope some liverpool fans find him and really beat the :censored:

Could be time for Carra to make a couple of phonecalles and see if the lad can be persuaded to drop the charges. Who knows, once he's given the whole matter careful consideration he might think back and come to the conclusion that in actual fact, everyone was equally to blame and that it's probably best for all concerned if the whole matter was forgotten about. Common sense prevails and all that.

Steven Gerrard charged with assault and affray after alleged brawl

Steven Gerrard, the Liverpool and England footballer, has been charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray, police have said, after an argument over music being played in a restaurant allegedly escalated into a violent brawl.

Gerrard, 28, was charged early on Tuesday morning over the alleged fracas in which Marcus McGee, a company director, lost a tooth and needed four stitches to a head wound.

He was released from custody at Southport police station almost two hours earlier after police interviewed him and the other five men, aged between 18 and 33 - none of whom are team-mates of Gerrard - for most of the day.

Meryside police said Gerrard and two other men were charged with ABH and affray.

The other three have been bailed pending further inquiries.

Inspector Swan, spokesman for Merseyside Police, said in a statement: "Merseyside Police have charged Steven Gerrard, 28, of Formby, John Doran, 29, Ian Smith , 19, both of Huyton with Assault causing Actual Bodily Harm and affray following an incident in Bold Street, Southport.

"All three men will appear at North Sefton magistrates on Jan 23rd.

"Three other men who were interviewed over the same incident have been bailed.

"They were released earlier tonight."

The charges, under section 47 of the Offences Against the Person Act, carry up to five years in jail.

Wearing a white t-shirt and smart black trousers, Gerrard attempted to cover his face with his hands before being driven away in a black Citroen Xsara people carrier, believed to be driven by his father.

The Liverpool captain had been celebrating Sunday's 5-1 win over Newcastle United, in which he scored twice, when a row is said to have broken out involving Mr McGee about the music being played at The Lounge Inn in Southport, Merseyside.

Gerrard is understood to have asked Mr McGee, a friend of the restaurant's owner, if he could borrow a swipe card which staff must use to operate the music system behind the bar.

Mr McGee is said to have refused to provide his card.

Mr McGee, 34, a father of two, also suffered cuts to his face and a swollen eye.

The main thing he's been released and can play against Stoke, let's just hope he does his talking on the pitch there

There's got to be a lot more to this, it's very uncharacteristic of Stevie

will be dropping the charges either, Liverpool without their talisman like a fish without water, they will go to great lengths to disrupt us winning No19.

just because gerrard was there, does not mean he actually threw a punch!!

he was the highest profile guy there, so my guess is that accuser would need compensation, and realised quickly that he'd get more from stevie g, than the other two paupers he was with!

by my reckoning, the other two probably did the fisty cuffs, and gerrard got involved to stop it. but as we all know, that would look like, from an untrained eye, that gerrard was the provoker and attacker.

however, the coppers couldve been keeping him there until he signed autographs for the whole station
