Gerrard should get the same - I wouldn't count on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southy354 Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Royston Drenthe Fouls Gerrard, dives and then starts a brawl. What a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Not a everton fan by any chance are youCertainly not. But I do object to people defending everything Gerrard does (including those two-footed lunges that he does numerous times each season) because he's a so-called 'legend'.

Harvey_BCFC Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 It was hardly lamping him, or he would have hit the deck. It was hardly even a proper fist, he pretty much just palmed him. People have made a big deal over nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have made a big deal over nothing.The problem people have is that if the player involved had a reputation, e.g. Rooney, Vieria, Savage etc, they would more than likely face further punishment. Because Gerrard has a squeaky-clean image, despite committing some frankly disgusting challenges over the years, he gets away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
