Could well be bullshit corn (probably is) but why would the police release evidence to the media?

Fair enough, but I don't recall any mention of CCTV? You got to wonder how someobdy would know abolut this supposed footage. Plus sounds a bit savage for the chipped tooth he suffered.

I see Torres seems to think Rafa is incorrect. The cheek of him to question his manager - he should be left to rot on the bench for the rest of the year!

One striker rotting on the bench is enough.

Rumour has it over here that there's video evidence Gerrard went over to yer man in the bar, hit him knocking him down, started to kick him when he was on the ground.  Gerrard's mates waded in and he went away and came back with a bottle and threw it at the boy on the ground.

Bad if that's true but could be bullshit.

If this is what actually happened I can guarantee that Gerard would not have been charged with a s47 assault.  The way things work is that the police charge with with the highest offence that they can as a holding charge and then when the case is being set for trial, the actual charges that the defendant will be facing will be put to him.  A s47 assault is the next step up from common assault which is the lowest level of assault charge available.  If there was CCTV evidence of Gerard doing this, and there was evidence that the complainant had injuries, which there is, then he would have been charged with a minimum s 20 assault for GBH, or possibly a s 18 GBH with intent, as he went back and threw a bottle at him.

What's the likely penalty if he's found guilty as charged bc?

I heard there was CCTV. I would expect there to be CCTV is such a place, and if there wasnt I would have expected Liverpool to pay off the victim to make it go away (which they couldnt do if there was CCTV evidence).

But I dont believe its near as bad as said above, otherwise surely he would have been charged with assault rather than affray.

If it was in the north and he was convicted of s47, with no record, there would be community service or possibly a short suspended sentence.  The likelihood is that it would be a community service type penalty with a compensation payment to the victim.

If he is found guilty do you think the FA will act and if so what is likely?

I wouldn't think so, it is not football related.  They didn't get involved in Joey Barton's case involving the assault in Liverpool, but they did suspend him over whacking his team mate.  The FA would have no grounds to get involved officially, but unofficially he might never get the England captain's armband again of convicted.

There was CCTV in the Terry/Morris/ Byrne case that showed that Terry was innocent but he still was taken to court.

The FA have banned players while charged in the past... why not again?
