Can Gerrard Do What He Likes?
Well, what a surprise, Steven Gerrard won’t face any charges for his latest tantrum. Did we expect anything else though?
Whilst Liverpool quickly denied any wrongdoing, laughably claiming Gerrard was merely indicating he had been brought down twice, Rafa stole the prize for most feeble attempt at an excuse, stating “Sometimes you move your fingers. It was nothing. We are not considering it, it was nothing.” Then again, he could just mean it’s nothing – for Gerrard – who, after all does tend to have a lack of control over his hand movements.
Anyway, Rafa could have saved himself the embarrassment either way because despite Andre Marriner – and half the country – clearly seeing Gerrard flick him the v-sign and mouth a further obscenity following his justifiable booking for a challenge that isn’t exactly uncommon from the Liverpool captain, as ever, it’s being swept under the carpet.
FA chiefs have had a look as well and apparently “shared his (Marriner’s) view that it was a momentary show of frustration.” Oh well that’s ok then eh? Because by that token, any player on any pitch can abuse the ref if they get a bit pissed off right? Oh no wait, because that wouldn’t strictly adhere to the ‘Respect the Ref’ campaign would it?
So why exactly has he got away with it?
Chelsea News 24/7
Oops, excuse me, I expect to find a Chelsea blog on this site. Don’t know why I got that impression…
get over it!
heres coming from the biggest hypocritical fans ever who have won nothing!
What is the problems…??? Gerrard points out the two bad calls the ref has just made, and that’s automatic a V-sign??? Idiot! Look at picture!
Stop being bitter because he turned you down twice and concentrate on supporting your own club in their bid to win their first ever Champions League and their 4th (woohoo, 4th!!) league title. 3 League titles to your name, thats the same as Huddersfield Town, less than Sheffield Wednesday and half the number Sunderland have won. Fantastic!
He gets away with nothing, Chavs always have and always will get away with murder, Cheating team mate scum.
I seem to remember Bosingwa assaulting Benayoun and getting away with it. Here you are

and let’s not mention John Terry
John Terry seems to be able to do what he likes so why cant gerrard??
Just concentrate on trying to win your 4th or 5th league title and stop writing crap blogs about us.
In rafa we do not trust (for the record)
And Chelsea players never chase the referee all over the pitch shouting? Never gang up around the referee?
Never swear?
Never covet their neighbours ex?
Pot, kettle black!
LIVERPOOL – you don’t seriously believe that surely? and how would you explain away what he was clearly seen mouthing?
trader – bitter because he turned us down? ha ha, we have enough trouble with our own captain thanks, still didnt resort to burning his shirts when he was linked with Citeh though.
Michael – I don’t think you’ll find anything on TheChelseaBlog defending Bosingwa though, unlike you lot automatically leaping to Gerrard’s defence.
Oh and Bitter Blue – ‘he gets away with nothing’? and I thought your manager was a joker, lol.
All chelsea fans are southern fairys who know nothing about football, You won a couple of titles and look at you, in actually fact all southerners are up there own backsides.. and talk out of there backsides..
Funny how this being a Chelsea blog a post about Liverpool player gets more attention than a post about a Chelsea player..Both of which were posted in the same day. Go back to your own blogs you fools..
Phil – do the FA and the press gloss over it when it’s a Chelsea player? Answers on the back of a stamp.
ph0bolus – it’s an innate need to defend Saint Stevie.
Want to get this in while the press is still hot so to speak, and hoping that there are still some stupid scouse loud-mouths to come and read this:
Why don’t you f**k off you little scummy c*nts? Your team won’t be playing champions league next year, no one likes you and you’re all dirty little criminals living in a cold little unimportant city.
I’ve never written on another team’s blog, so why should you? Why don’t you go back to posting about the merits of burglary vs aggravated assault on your own boards?
I don’t come to this site to read about how many titles you losers have won (about 50 years ago…)
What is it with these pathetic Scousers? They love to dish it out but whine like babies when somebody gets stuck into them!
The article is only pointing out the utter hypricosy of the FA and media in this country. Gerrard clearly abuses the ref and it gets swept under the carpet! Can you imagine the furore had this been JT (even before his recent bad press)?
For those of you again trying to belittle Chelsea’s history compared to Liverpool’s perhaps you should read Martin Samuel’s column in the Mail today and realize how boring you are.
And as for you, Valentine, I wouldn’t slag off southerners, mate, considering about 80% of your club’s plastic support comes from down here!
Clearly he is requesting a two’s up with Alex and should be done for attempted bribery.
This is Englands captain we are talking about, surely he can’t have done wrong, or maybe he thinks it comes with the armband ?
Wake up F.A. this is the biggest cheat in the premier league, he goes down quicker than his mrs. the ref should just be gratefull he was in charge of the game and not the music on the p.a.
steevies fav phil collins song ? she’s an easy lover.
KRIOC !!
Keep
Rafa
In
Our
City.
