Liverpool and England midfielder Steven Gerrard has been found not guilty of affray at Liverpool Crown Court.

Gerrard admitted hitting Marcus McGee, 34, in a Southport bar last December and a jury at the city's Crown Court accepted his explanation that it was in self-defence.

The 29-year-old was the only one of seven defendants to be cleared over what the judge described as an "explosion of violence" at the Lounge Inn during which McGee lost a tooth and suffered facial cuts.

The trial heard that Gerrard was at the Lounge Inn in Southport, Merseyside, on 29th December to celebrate Liverpool's 5-1 demolition of Newcastle United hours earlier.

The Reds' captain, who scored twice in the game, was enjoying a night out with a party of friends including Anfield legend Kenny Dalglish, 58.

CCTV footage from the bar showed Gerrard and

TORRES AND CARRA SHAKE SINGAPORE

Singapore was treated to a double dose of Anfield magic this morning when Fernando Torres and Jamie Carragher sparked scenes of mass hysteria among their devoted supporters.
Fans had camped out for hours to get the best views of their Liverpool idols, both of whom were in town to attend a special event organised by Carlsberg.

It was a day of many commercial activities for the Reds on the second leg of their far east tour, and those supporters at the Velocity Centre probably couldn't believe their luck when they were presented with two of Liverpool's most famous stars.

As the players edged closer to their destination and as Justin, the local master of ceremonies, updated the fans with news on their whereabouts, cameras were at the ready and scarves hoisted aloft as thousands of faraway Kopite

Dante3000 (rich) (July 24, 2009)

I know, I know. A good cock stroke should never be less than 200 characters.

like the 3" cd's you can only play in cd players that have the tray? if so i am soo down.. or we could release it on those old zip disks.

Dante3000 (rich) (July 24, 2009)

I remember zip discs. My step dad had like three, talked about how they were the future of data storage. Sucker!

And I think Mini-discs are actually their own medium but the tiny CD's are also cool. I had like 5 of those back in the day. They're great for fucking up people's CD players in their car. Get a quote and I'll discuss financial backing.

we could do squares and the disc art can be a sandwich. for packaging we can have scott heisel save his big mac boxes

Dante3000 (rich) (July 24, 2009)

Could you fit the EP on one of those? I'd be for it.

TheSandwiches (July 24, 2009)

i have to call them in a bit about the red collar vinyl I'll get info. the EP is about 16 mins.

24HourPriapism (July 24, 2009)

I know that Billy Talent tried for a few years to get an indie label but no one was interested so they finally gave in and went to a major label. I dunno, to me it makes it understandable.

LookingForCorpses (July 24, 2009)

Haven't they always been a major label band?? And they "tried" to go indie. Come on. Although, it is possible that no indie had such a lack of self respect that they'd sign this garbage.

mike_b (July 24, 2009)

Nononononono

This was back when they were Pezz. They tried to get an indie label but no one was interested so THEN they signed major.

I'm not talking about this roadrunner signing.

LookingForCorpses (July 24, 2009)

Again, that sounds a little weird.

I wouldve skipped work if RG were playing with them here...but no...fucking billy talent.

drugmoney (July 24, 2009)

rg? do you mean rise against? regardless i was told from somebody that went that it was a terrible show. RA has a different fanbase nowadays, nobody knew any of their older songs, pre-appeal to reason. rancid of course sucked cause they just really suck, always have always will

LookingForCorpses (July 24, 2009)

Riverboat Gamblers=RG. They opened half the door. Rancid are one of the best live bands out there, whether you like the music or not.

drugmoney (July 24, 2009)

RG is one kick ass band, rancid i never liked. i've seen them live and i still don't like them. then again to each their own

Holy_Balls (July 24, 2009)

simple plan jr.

jacknife737 (July 24, 2009)

eh, of the current lot of mainstream pop punk bands, these guys really don't seem that bad. Their live show is pretty fun as well.
