Steven Gerrard cowardly and aggogant
Steven Gerrard's trial for his bar room brawl has opened. Now I think he is a great player, but, if the evidence from the trial is to be believed, he is a cowardly fighter. He waited until one of his mates had elbowed the victim in the face before attacking him.
One of Mr Gerrard's friends, John Doran, who has admitted affray, pushed Mr McGee away but "could not resist following through with his right elbow into Mr McGee's face", said Mr Turner.
"We say at this stage Gerrard totally lost it.
"Almost immediately after the blow from John Doran, in fact within seconds, Steven Gerrard joined in the attack with a succession of well aimed uppercut punches delivered with the style and speed of a professional boxer rather than a professional footballer."

All his mates seem to have entered guilty pleas, but Gerrard has denied any guilt. It appears there is CCTV film of the incident.
Anyone know what is likely to be the sentence if he is found guilty?

From the BBC news..
The footballer told police the businessman 'grabbed' the card, saying: 'You are not deciding what music goes on here, I am.'
Gerrard said: 'He was quite aggressive. I tried to say to him "What is your problem? Why can't I change it?" '
The millionaire footballer told police he returned to his friends and said: 'Some *****'s just upset me, he won't let me put any music on.' He added: 'It had changed my mood.'
Gerrard claimed Mr McGee continued staring at him and a few minutes later he went over 'to straighten it out'.
He went on: 'I just wanted a chat but he was quite aggressive.
...So that's quite clear then. The nasty man had upset Stephen and he went over to have a friendly chat to straighten things out, because the nasty man kept looking at him.
It wasn't at all a case of Gerrard being a drunken thug who reacted violently because he's a pampered celeb who's not used to someone saying no to him.
He'll get off with a meaningless fine.
