The liverpool captain and Englands midfielder , Steven gerrard was involved in a brawl at the Lounge Inn at Southport. And will have to appear in front of a magistrate along with John Doran and Ian Smith on the 29/1/2009.
The trouble all started when Gerrard and a few other Liverpool players went to the Lounge Inn to celebrate their win over New Castle United..Gerrard wanted to use the swipe cardfor the music , and only staff can do it., Marcus McGee refused to give the swipe card to Gerrard , in the fight that followed Mr Marcus McGee lost a tooth and had four stitches and a swollen eye. Mr Marcus McGee is a buisnessman and had gone to the Lounge Inn with his partner,for a drink.
Now let us compare the judgement by the F.A. When a Burnsley fan through a coin at Dider Drogba, and Drogba through rthe coin back at the crowd after he had scored the goal. Drogba was fined 16,000 pounds and got a three match ban.. Please note that in Drogbas incident nobody was hurt.While in Gerrards case a tooth and four stitches were needed . But The F.a. side Gerrard only because he scores goals for England and Liverpool and it is now very clear Gerrard got away because he was white and not a black footballer.
Here Fabio Capello, Rafael Benitz , and the .F.A. and players like, Ferdinand , Rooney and Terry support Gerrard and say this is all right , these players and the F.A. should hang their heads in shame if they have any shame at all.Drogba was told that he was a role model and his tossing the coin was not good behaviour. But Gerrards action was a gentlemanly act . These stupid English footballers should know that they might need Gerrard for the world cup qualifiers , but they must have the courage as well to say that he was wrong.
Look at Arsenals Manager Arsene Wenger, he took the armband from Willam Gallas for an Outburst in the room and not the field but here Benitz cowardly says he will support Gerrard all the way what a shame .
