Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard charged
LIVERPOOL captain Steven Gerrard was today charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray following an alleged nightclub brawl.
The Liverpool captain was charged along with two other men who had also been arrested after an alleged altercation outside a late-night bar in Southport. They will appear in court next month.
The venue’s DJ, a 34-year-old local man, required hospital treatment after suffering facial injuries.
Gerrard, 28, was released from Southport police station early this morning. In a statement, a Merseyside Police spokesman said:
“Merseyside Police has charged Steven Gerrard, 28 years, of Formby, John Doran, 29, and Ian Smith, 19 years, both from Huyton, with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and affray following an incident at Bold Street in Southport in the early hours of Monday, December 29. The three men will be appearing at North Sefton Magistrates’ Court on January 23.”
The spokesman said Gerrard and the two other men had been bailed and three other men, aged 18, 31 and 33, who were arrested in connection with the incident were bailed pending further inquiries. The town centre business remained shut yesterday but evidence of a fight inside could be seen through the windows.
Gerrard has been capped by England 70 times and has captained his country on four occasions. He was made an MBE last year and received an honorary fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University.
Samo se nadam da su ovo jos jedne novinske bljuvotine i da Steve G nema veze sa tim.... Prisutan bio al da je ucestvovao u tuci... ne verujem bas....
Gerrard proveo noc u pritvoru
Steven Gerrard priveden je
u ranim jutarnjim satima izmedju nedelje i ponedeljka zbog tuce u baru u Liverpoolu, a s njim je iza resetaka zavrsilo jos pet osoba.
Engleski mediji javljaju da je oko 11 sati kapiten Liverpoola jos
uvek bio u pritvoru, dok je policija nastavila istragu kako bi
utvrdila sta se zaista dogodilo.
" Policija jos utvrdjuje sve okolnosti napada koji se dogodio u ranim jutarnjim satima. Nasi su inspektori su na mesto incidenta u Bold Street (cuvena ulica u Liverpoolu s brojnim kaficima, restoranima i buticima) stigli u 2.30 sati. Sest je osoba privedeno pod sumnjom da su ucestvovale u fizickom napadu i nanosenju telesnih povreda ", rekao je sef policije u Merseysideu.
Pored Gerrarda, u policiji je zavrsilo jos pet osoba od 33, 31, 29, 19 i 18 godina. Marcus McGee ( DJ ), 34-godisnjak iz Southporta zavrsio je u bolnici sa izbijenim zubom i laksim povredama lica. Cini se da se nakon velicanstvenog trijumfa nad Newcastleom i postignutim golovima ( dva komada ) previse opustio, mozda potegnuo koju vise i nije se ni snasao, a vec je zavrsio u tuci.
Na radost ostrvskih tabloida koji su jedva docekali takvu pricu u danima kada se nista ne dogadja...
Danas su se oglasili i celnici Liverpoola i izjavili da ce Gerrardu pruziti svu mogucu podrsku...
" Steven has been an outstanding servant to Liverpool for the last 10 years and the club will give him all the support he needs at this time. "

Newcastle vs. Liverpool, nedelja, 28.12.2oo8.
1:5.... Ovakav Liverpool ja hocu da gledam na svakoj utakmici u ostatku sezone.... Prepoznatljivi smo po tome da nam se nivo igre podize kako sezona odmice, tako da se nadam da ce ovako i nastaviti.... Odlicna utakmica, dobra igra oba tima, ne mogu da gresim dusu, ali rezultat govori vise od reci... Oduvali smo svrake i u 2oo9-tu godinu ulazimo na sampionskoj poziciji sa 4 boda vise nego celski.... :D
Mnogo, mnogo ne iskoriscenih prilika smo imali, gotovo posle svakog kornera.... Svaka cast golmanu Newcastlea, covek je branio nemoguce, hobotnica... Neverovatno opsedanje gola nufc-a i samo su ih Bog i Given spasili rezultatske katastrofe već u prvom poluvremenu... Ono je bilo strasno za gledati, ja kao navijac LFC-a sam htela poludeti a mogu zamisliti kako je navijacima svraka ( mozete ostaviti komentar dole 
)... onoliko sansi a lopta nikako u gol.... Mislim da niko nije ocekivao ovakvu utakmicu i ovakav rezultat.... a jos manje smo mogli ocekivati da ce Keane biti na klupi i da nece ulaziti u igru..... I taj Rafa je bas cudo od coveka....
Od igraca Gerrard, the best, dva gola, cisto da docara Keane-u da on to moze kad pozeli... hehehhe ( sala ), Carra, Agger, na mestu, rutinski... Mascherano se vraca svojoj prepoznatljivoj igri, Alonso odlican, dade gol, Hyypia master, i on je postigao jedan, kapa dole.... Babel nam je pokazao i dokazao da nije igrac za start meca, svaka cast za gol, drago mi je zbog toga ali on je substitute man.... I na kraju da spomenem SKRTEL nam se vratio na teren..... Jako sam srecna zbog toga, neverovatan covek....
.... HVALA MOMCI, NOVOGODISNJA CESTITKA JE VISE NEGO ODLICNA... VRH TABELE...
