As I said, I wasn't defending Barton, nor condemning Gerrard. It will just be interesting to see how the press handle it. I know Barton has a history of trouble, but he's reformed now .
Personally I think all Gerrard is guilty of is being with his mates when the trouble kicked off - perhaps he went as far as shoving the bloke, but tha accounts sort of say it was his mates that laid into him.
Shame it couldn't have happened before the Newcastle game

i just reckon that if this was roy keane everyone would be saying he should be banned and doing time, but just cuz its steven gerard its ok and a nice slap pon the wrists is ok, regardless of who he is he should get the same punishment as someone off the street who would have done the same thing, cuz u know if it was one of us we would get made an example of but with gerard it will get swept under the carpet. I do remember when rio ferdinand got done for not turning up for a drugs test and he wasnt guilty, but he was made an example of, but i am sure that it wont happen in this case.
Ah yes you say that but whereas rio hadnt turned up and was deemed guilty and was givena lengthy ban from all football, when a russian player was actually FOUND guilty of having drugs in his system he was let off with something WAY lighter than rio, this russian dude then prevented wales from qualifying for the Euros that year as he scored in the playoff against wales, so where is the consistency?
Thems the rules m8 you miss it your deemed GUILTY (putting him in the same position as the Russian) he knew the risks when he decided to miss it.Ferdinand was lucky to only get an eight month ban as according to FIFA it should have been a year so consistency doesn't come into it they both should have had lengthy bans and both got off lightly.Ferdinand may have been punished more because he tried to wriggle out of it with feeble excuses whereas the Russian was without doubt guilty.If Rio had taken the test and been found guilty then whos to say he wouldn't have received the same punishment as the Russian and vice versa.

Partially agree - its the consistency we need. At the same time Rio was "done" a young City player (reserve or something) also missed a drugs test and was fined Ł2000 and received no ban whatsoever. How is that fair?
Interestingly, I noticed also that Christine Ohorougu, another sportsperson who missed a drugs test (she in fact missed 3 in a year) received an MBE yesterday.
It's not fair but by getting paid astronomical wages and representing your country you also have to accept that along with all the glamour comes the fact that you are in fact a role model for kids and have a certain responsibility and if you fail to live up to them you will probably be punished a little more than most.....although on the flip side there is always the bonus of being able to drive at excessive speeds or indeed along the hard shoulder and get away with it because you needed a shit.
I'll let her off because she's never said merc'd on tv.
he hasnt been found guilty of anything yet mate, lets wait and see what happens if he is,and lets not go there with roy keane,as good a player as he was he was also a animal remember what he done to the city player,and fuck me what about all the occasions when he stamped on players which he scholes and cantona done quite regulary,come on mate utd get away with murder always have always will,just look at the other pair of spoiled brats now rooney and ronaldo kicking and elbowing players every game and getting away with it.
Liverpudlian Steven Gerrard arrested in drunken bar brawl.
Carlsberg don't do stereotypes.........
Does anybody think he will get a long ban if found guilty of a criminal offence, other players have Bowyer,and pals when at leeds. Nothing to do with football but they all got a lengthy ban from playing. Only time will tell I suppose
I'm sorry, I thought I just heard you argue that an 8 month ban for missing a drug test is worse than admitting taking drugs and getting off with it?!?!?! You must be a scouser.
What I find absolutely absurd, is that bird that does the running, Uhugurou (or whatever) she's just got an m/c/obe for being a drugs cheat after overturning the same rule that stopped Dwayne Chambers from running at the Olympics.
If there is a drug travesty out there it is that - she is every bit as much a cheat as Chambers and is a disgrace representing Britain. They both should have been allowed to race or both been banned.
Back to the football - if Wales didn't challenge that then they have dropped the ball.

I think there is a world of difference between Ohorougu and Chambers, but little difference between Rio and Ohorougu. Both missed planned tests (Ohorougu missed 3, but the ahtletics testing is far more stringent - and indeed ludicrous - so its almost understandable). She got a year ban I believe, Rio got 8 months, both tested negative immediately or shortly afterwards. I believe with Rio it was the next day, a point most people conveniently forget to remember. Drugs do not leave the system overnight. Chambers admitted to taking drugs and admitted winning medals whilst drugged up. Whilst I believe he should have been allowed to run in the Olympics - time served and all that - he was rightly punished. However, I do agree that the hypocrisy shown towards Ohorougu is laughablem she wins our only gold medal on the track and somehow her past misdemeanor gets entirely forgotten
Nobody got off with it....But like in the courts if you plead guilty to something you are going to be found guilty of you wiill get a lesser sentence than some one who pleads their innocence by giving shitty alibi's which Ferdinand whether guilty or not did.
If i refused a drugs test in work i would be probably be sacked on the spot even if i said i'll do it tomorrow.Those are the rules it's now part of a sportsmans life to take drug tests whenever required and it's just part of the business they are in and if they miss one or refuse one they should be punished as if guilty.
Fair enough. Say you were supposed to have one, forgot and went off to the shops for lunch. Came back, realised you had forgotten to do it, and arranged to have it done the next day, and you were subsequently found to be clean. Do you think you would be sacked on the spot then? And if you were, do you think you would maybe have a case for unfair dismissal? Especially if your mate who went out for lunch with you, but wasnt as senior as you, just got a written warning?
I'm not arguing - and don't THINK I ever have - that Rio (and Ohorougu) should not be punished for missing the tests. The rules are, after all, quite clear. However, I do think that if both tested clean soon after (i.e. within a day or two max) that an element of leniency should be shown. For me, missing a test and then proving yourself clean isn't as severe as being found to be taking drugs, and yet footballers have been punished for taking drugs with similar or indeed less lengthy bans, which seems hypocritical and contradictory to me.
