The fact is that Gerrard got away with a crime whether it be GBH or assualt and affray(actual charge) he should have recieved some kind of punishment. I'm not a Judge so i can't say what that should have been but i think community service at least. I Think we all know that what Gerrard did was a crime even if he was proved innocent and to me this sends out the wrong message to the rest of society. People make mistakes but you should always be accountable for you're actions. The same is true in the De Gea case a crime was commited according to the law, where many others would have been prosecuted, he wasn't. RR the fact that you are happy to break the law and teach your children to do so also proves my point explicitly
Were you there? No, I didn't think so. He is a coward though. Renowned for s..tting out of potentially dangerous tackles.................NOT
Do you work for the filth, Timmy? Gerrard was tried in front of a jury and found innocent. Where I come from that's normally defined as justice.
I agree, and I'm not saying De Gea was right. He was undoubtedly stupid, but to try and compare him to the looters who were taking advantage of burning cars and people attacking the police is just stupid. Are you feeling particularly simple today? It was only after he had eaten the doughnut that he realised he'd forgotten his wallet. Yes, he should have informed the staff that he was going back to get his wallet, but given he's not a native English speaker he probably didn't know how. The critical bit in that sentence is highlighted. As I've already shown with other posts in this thread, courts very rarely charge shoplifters, particularly first time offenders or people who may have accidentally shoplifted. The general resolution if the police are called is an £80 fixed penalty notice, and the shops can also take civil action if they wish. Claiming the courts should "make an example of him" because he is rich is simply undermining the foundations of the justice system.
Haha not me RHC, but i have made my own mistakes and paid for them. I love Gerrard and whether he commited a crime or not it will not change that, but seeing him been made accountable could change someone's life for the better. Let's be clear here he's hardly the first footballer to get into trouble and won't be the last but a bit of community service wouldn't have hurt him and would set a good example for the kids. Lets not forget the riots in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool all full of youngster's with no moral guide other than that presented to them from the wider world.
That's a good ****ing shout, lad. I reckon more than most of you (possibly all) will have just nabbed the odd grape from a punnet without paying. If you have, you're a ****ing thief and should be locked in the tower to await your execution.
Timmy. He was found innocent. End of. Whilst I have been in trouble with the law on a good few occasions (all petty stuff), my two daughters never have and I doubt ever will. Because they were brought up properly (aged 21 and 17 respectively).
The FACT I teach my kids to steal? Where does it it state this fact? I'm talking about an 18 month old sat in a trolley who likes apples. He isn't aware that I won't be paying for that ONE apple when I get to the till. Tesco get, on average, about £450 a month out of me and the odd apple is mine to take. Stop being such a sanctimonious, lying, ****. Ok And Red and Jonesy, I don't believe you.
