404 not found.

England and Liverpool footballer Steven Gerrard has been arrested following an alleged assault.

The incident happened at about 0230 GMT at a pub in Southport. Six men were detained later in a nearby street.

The men, four from Huyton, one from Formby and one from Litherland, remain in police custody.

A 34-year-old man from Southport was taken to hospital with facial injuries which are not believed to be life threatening.

The men from Huyton are aged 33, 31, 29 and 19. A 28-year-old from Formby and an 18-year-old from Litherland are also being questioned.

Gerrard, 28, is Liverpool captain and scored twice in his team's 5-1 victory over Newcastle on Sunday.

Typical scouser.

Silly boy.

Maybe he deserved a slap!

some gob shite probably getting what he deserved.

Seriously though-if you were a pro,would you be out drinking at 2.30 a.m,whatever the day?

Fuck yeah.

Thats probably why you're not one then Ben!

If this was Joey Barton the tabloids would have him hanging from a tree by now... I wonder how their beloved "Stevie G" will be treated if he really did open up the proverbial can of whoopass on someone.

Like the cunt that he is hopefully

John Terry is amongst those who have been forgiven for his previous sins, I'm sure Gerrard would be no different.

Good to see him being judged already. How can he be compared to barton

How is it good to see ;) I've not judged, I've questioned and bemoaned the attitude of the tabloid press if anything.

Barton is a serial prick, the details from the case making him sound as if is he is no more than a simple minded thug.

Steve G hasn't even been charged yet has he, the circumstances of his arrest aren't know.

I retract the name Joey Barton because it's not worth the debate! I stand by the suggestion that the media will be kind if he's been a naughty boy.

they probably will rich but you must admit if true it is totally out of charachter . Understand your point though mate

I don't know his character... His media training has been thorough. I doubt he's evil behind-the-scenes though :)

Haha all scousers are evil deep down.

hope he did it and gets banned for ages, hate that cunt

In that case then Ady Williams should be done too.

String him up I say!  And that is just for being a shit defensive coach!

Adi williams was a bit different than this gerrard story

Charged with assault and affray. Tsk

I heard that someone asked Gerrard what he wanted for Christmas and his asked for arrest.

His Mrs wanted a (jail) bird.

Thats his Liverpool captaincy gone then I'd imagine.

Have to say of all top footballers, I'm suprised it was Gerrard involved.

According to the Telegraph.

Gerrard goes out, has a few drinks.

He then decides he wants to change the music being played.

He tries to get a staff swipe card to access the dj booth.

He doesn't get hold of one, and doesn't get access to dj booth.

An argument starts which results in the DJ being bottled over the head (by Gerrard - according to eye witnesses).

Ooops.

Yep, that'll get ye an assault charge!

<stir>Whereas Barton attacked a bloke who had followed him around all night giving him abuse... one seems more justified than the other </stir>

That could be a custodial if what is reported is accurate.

How hard? Gerrard!

Yup, could come with a jail term if found guilty.  Bet he ends up with a suspended sentence as hes "Stevie G". I guess it also depends on if its a first time offence?

If he wanted to take off Kaiser Chiefs and put on Half Man Half Biscuit,I'm with "Stevie G" on this one.

Kaiser Chiefs are a bit spooky. They predicted a riot.

Maybe Alex Curran said every day I love you less and less?

Is PD from Saaaaaaaaaaarfport?

I think I was in that bar a few years ago although it’s changed names since and looks a little more plush then it was back then.  It was a fucking dive if I remember rightly.

I believe so, yes.

I bet he's involved then.

Had a few nights out there and it’s quite a good trawl and break from the norm but it definitely has a fair few nutters on the prowl.  Morecambe down the road was an eye opener.  I had visions of a gentle sea side town and a few beers and it’s full of raving fucking loonies.

I believe he's in Southport at the moment !!!

Not just because he's Stevie G.... because anyone else would get the same, no chance of him going down in this day and age.

I reckon he'll get a 3 or 4 month suspended sentence and a few hundred quid fine. That's all Barton got.

With any luck Cappello will drop him

What, because it involved a female?

Well pointed out!!

I think JPC witnessed both assaults so is obviously right! 

I think it's JPC once again giving it the "I know something you dont know" bait.


The truth is, a lot of people already know who AW allegedly assaulted, but choose not to even hint at it on a public forum.

I think you're right Dave, I haven't heard of anyone who's bottled someone and got a jail sentence out of it, unless they've been naughty before.

 Someone told me but I was pissed at the time and have no recall...mainly because I wasn't that interested.

 Dazzza, Morecambe definitely sounds like the highlight for next season.

Lets just say I've had to bite my lip very hard on this one and show one hell of a lot of restraint on the pitch

Whist I'd normally say innocent until proven guilty I wouldn't in this case. At minimum he is guilty of stupidity, what the fuck was he doing out on the piss in the early hours of the morning? He could have avoided it by not being there and not being pissed up. I have zero sympathy for Premiership footballers, especially when it is a world class player such as Gerrard - they should be treating their bodies as temples instead of getting trashed all the time.

Its made worse by their clubs and the FA not having a backbone as they are only worried about their performances on the pitch rather than the bigger picture. Some bloke ends up in hospital, Gerrard gets charged with assault and Liverpool decide to fully support Gerrard rather than condemn him. With the FA wiping their hands of it.

Its about time their clubs and the FA started dishing out heavy penalties on players for improper behaviour. Suspend them for months rather than games, hit them with six figure fines, force them to go for rehabilitation and counselling to sort their shit out and make them perform plenty of work in their spare time for good causes.

Maybe Gerrard is innocent of the charges, but he is a fucking twat for putting himself in the situation in the first place and should be getting an all round bollocking and kicking from everyone. Personally, I'd ban the fucker from playing for England for 12 months for his stupidity alone.

What, because he is a Premiership football player, he shouldn't be allowed to go to a night club and get pissed until he has retired from the game?

I reckon you should stick your fork through his neck before a match, would make for great pre match entertainment.  Better than the fucking Rockin Robin hacka and the bloody cheerleaders anyway!  Come on triseros, think of us in the stands freezing our bollocks drinking shit coffee, take one for the team man!

For going out on the piss after a game....we'd have no bloody players available! most of them go out on the piss with their mates after a game and why the fuck not!

The difference is PP that most of us dont get into shit like this when we do

Weve all done that Berni....but assisting in glassing someone we aint...he could be just a third party but that would be suprising baring in mind theyve charged him.
Also when a club pay big big money to a pro they expect standards to be set....and thats why me and you may not get a jail term for a first offence with glassing...but the courts will go by the same rules as Liverpool FC and expect higher standards than he has set...thats part of the deal when youe England captain and playing for Liverpool.
He was probably goaded but with all the violence in Mersyside i think the courts will not have no option but a custodial sentence...if found guilty of course.

If he's gone out on the raz and committed a violent, stupid act, then yes he deserves punishment. He does not deserve punishment if he goes out on the lash and gets caught up in something just because he's in the wrong place at the wrong time.

My mates brother got mixed up in a drunken fight and ended up putting someone in a coma (one punch in self defence). The point is, he didn't know that would happen at the start of the night so he certainly wouldn't have deserved to be proven guilty of what he had been accused of. With the point to Gerrard, at the moment we only have very sketchy tabloid details to go on.

It would be a start

True, but no-one (apart from JPC possibly) knows what happened in that bar, and I was merely contesting the point that footballers always have and always will go out after a match and get shitfaced. God knows what happened in the bar but until details come out then I think that comparison with Barton and completing lambasting him is a bit unfair.

If it is true he wrapped a pint jug round someones head, then he should be treated exactly the same as anyone else, so probably a suspended sentence and a fine as already said.

Scouser = guilty.

*in a suit

Shell suit?
