    This could end up being a very expensive phone for Simpson.

    Ok. So based on 100 odd words from the link it appears the he had his phone stolen and sought to track this down and recover his property.

    If you or I did this; it would be sorted and nothing to see. The police would probably off-the-record be thankful that it saved then onerous paperwork.

    Phone gets stolen. Victim recovers phone. Problem sorted.

    Not if we attacked someone with an iron bar, as the headline suggests, they wouldn't.

    I'm going to wait until the facts emerge before commenting more.

    It's in the Sun, what more 'facts' does one need?! :)

    My main concern is that he didn't strain his back recovering his mobile phone. I seem to recall Ashley Cole had a phone related injury. Not good for the crucial run in at the end of the season.

    I couldn't read the article any further as I'm not subscribed to the Sun.

    So I'm going to have to guess based on the headline that he tracked down the phone and made a polite request:

    Whoops a daisy, sorry to bother you old fellow, would you mind awfully, you seem to have picked up my phone by mistake....

    Thereafter I can only surmise that he tickled the fellow with an iron bar to loosen his grip on the phone.

    A quick cup of tea together, shake of hands, and off he goes with his phone!

    Case closed.

    If someone nicked anything of mine I'd lamp them as well. Good on you, Danny.

    Right tool for the job
    Cut their hands off
    Stealing from a person not on

    Mind you the rest of the business world do it in broad daylight and no iron bars are seen

    If true then I doubt if any reasonable person who deny the is just

    I wouldn't stop with a bar

    Only in wishy washy England and DS I expect will come out worse having had his stuff lifted by a ****

    What is the world about

    Walk away and do nothing
    Leave it to the police who would of leaked the story
    Papers would have brought the phone and turned it into a mini series

    Nope find the thief and sort it best you can

    But would you use a desk lamp, standard lamp or street lamp? I think you too would get arrested if it was the street lamp.

    What's a guy with a bad back doing cutting moves in a nightclub and chasing down a guy with an iron bar?

    I think we'd be better off building the new stadium backing on to wormwood scrubs prison as we could have some of the team living there soon.

    Imagine the commentator saying: "A super match. QPR have won! And we watch as the QPR team head off back down the tunnel ..... hoping to get back to their cells before the warders miss them."

    the police dont care about right or wrong, they just want a conviction, it will be too hard to prove the chav did it but they have simpson red handed.

    I saw a guy hop over into my back garden to break into the shed, there was nothing of value in it but my first thought was to get him but he had a screwdriver meaning I had to take something with me and i knew they would have arrested me so i didnt even bother reporting it.

    someone else did and then they told me they couldnt prove it was him anyway despite the shed being locked, him then going into the garden and then coming out after a door had been forced open.

    Ex-United player Danny Simpson arrested over iron bar attack
    8 Feb 2014 11:33
    The former Reds player is accused of carrying out the attack on a man he believed had stolen his phone

    Former Reds player Danny Simpson has been arrested over claims he was involved in an iron bar attack on the man he believed had stolen his phone.

    Police are also hunting for a second man who was seen to drive off in a white Porsche Cayenne from the scene of the attack in Withington .

    The 27-year-old defender, who split with former N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos last May, is accused of confronting a 34-year-old man outside their home.

    The drama unfolded on Tuesday morning when police were called to reports of a fight outside a house on Princess Road, near its junction with Whitchurch Road in Withington. They arrived to find a 34-year-old man with serious head injuries.

    He was taken to hospital and his condition is described as stable.

    It&#8217;s alleged the man was attacked with an iron bar.

    The 27-year-old QPR player who has also played for Newcastle, was said to have driven to the address with his pal after tracking his missing phone.

    But following an ensuing fight, officers swooped before handcuffing Simpson and driving him away at around 8.15am on February 4.

    A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: &#8220;Officers attended and discovered a 34-year-old man with head injuries. He was taken to hospital where his condition is stable. A 27-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of S18 assault and bailed pending further enquiries.&#8221;

    A spokesman said they are also appealing for information on a second man who drove from the scene in a white Porsche Cayenne. There is currently no description of him available but police want any information on sightings of the vehicle on Princess Road near Whitchurch Road.

    Simpson was arrested on suspicion of s18 wounding and bailed pending further enquiries.

    If he was arrested for a section 18 criminal offence and found guilty the minimum term is three years.
