What's your point-of-view then?


Oooh here goes..I'm a Liverpool fan but see it as the law goes..he was guilty..you can't have an arguement with a person..walk away then go back much later and hit him 3 times then run away and be innocent.... Ninja


Hi Clapping seems from the media I've seen that he was guilty. Nice to see a fan who's not afraid to speak their mind. It's still a good result for Liverpool and Good luck for 2010 Smiler Clapping

From the Independent:

"But the Recorder of Liverpool, Judge Henry Globe QC told Gerrard that what had appeared to be a "clear-cut case against you of unlawful violence" was nowhere near as straightforward after listening to the evidence. In an unusual move, as judges do not normally comment after not guilty verdicts, Judge Globe said Gerrard, Mr McGee, who lost a tooth and suffered cuts in the fight, and his partner all believed the footballer had struck first but that this version of events was contradicted by the CCTV footage.

"At all times you insisted that you only ever acted in what you believed was reasonable self-defence to what you understandably, albeit you accept mistakenly, believed was an attempted attack upon you by Marcus McGee," the judge said. "The verdict is a credible verdict on the full facts of this case, and you walk away from this court with your reputation intact.""

So, who was there to hear the case? I guess Judge Henry Globe QC was.

Well then, Jurry and judge did their job.

Ah, I think it meant that one of Gerrard's friends elbowed the victim in the face and it very quickly kicked off from there. The implication appears to be that the victim looked like he was about to hit Gerrard, rather than Gerrard's friend, and Gerrard hit him first, hence the self-defence claim.
