Gerrard blinds jury with stardom
Steven Gerrard was well on his way to being very drunk when he decided to spit his dummy out of the pram and demanded to be in control of the music being played. Upon being refused, one of Gerrard's friends then elbowed the temporary DJ, Marcus McGee, in the face. As he reeled backwards from the blow, the cowardly Gerrard then piled into the injured man. Foul ref!
Gerrard argued self defence. The CCTV footage should have meant that the jury found him guilty.
How is reeling backwards coming forwards?
Perhaps, Marcus McGee should consider suing Gerrard in private law in the County Court for assault and battery? It is a lower standard of proof, and on the balance of probabilities Gerrard was the aggressor rather than the aggrieved.
Being a star is not a licence to demand his own way or else.
It's not just blind referees, here the jury was blinded by stardom.
