Quote ="Ian [77"Couple of points.
1) It wasn't shown live on TV
2) He was convicted of common assault - community service is the usual penalty for that, or at least, it was then. Also, I think he was originally given a prison sentence which was reduced on appeal.
Oh, tell a lie, one more point:-
All I said in the post you quoted was:
- Gerrard is unlikely to get a custodial sentence
- Gerrard is dragging LFC through the mud
As a result, apart from being factually incorrect on every level, your post is irrelevant.'"
And of course we could always treat him as a hero, like you lot did with Cantona?
