If any other Liverpool player was involved in an incident four months ago, wouldn't you expect it to make the media when charges were brought? The fact he's just signed for Liverpool probably helped get it onto the front page of what is a terrible, nationalisitic, badly reported for newspaper, but none-the-less, he is one of the top players in the Welsh team, so they have viewed it as big story, worthy of reporting on. By the way - I only know two Everton fans, most people here are Liverpool fans. Do you really think that Everton would have been as warmly welcomed for any of the cup finals held in Wales that Liverpool were? Probably not.

really? that's a shock i remember i once had to sit in the gladwys street end (don't ask why) and it felt like i was sitting in the welsh national assembley.
