Liverpool players handcuffed by Police after drunken rampage.

The following was reported by Portugal?s Record. It seems that trouble has a habit of following Liverpool around.

 

Liverpool?s last night in the Algarve, where they trained this last week, was quite troubled. Several players were involved in shameful events that only ended when the authorities intervened around 4am on Friday.

 

Acording to witnesses the players used the fact that Benitez had gone to Vilamoura to have fun. But some of the 15 strong group that went to Monty?s bar in Vale do Lobo got out of control.

 

Beers were drunk all night and some players lost count of how much they had. To avoid trouble the British were ?invited? to leave the bar, but this didn?t mean the end of the matter, despite the efforts by captain Gerrard and Peter Crouch.

 

When they arrived back at the Barringtons apartment complex, the drunkest players (Dudek, Fowler and Pennant amongst them) damaged cars, electricity boxes and even the inside of some houses, by using golf clubs!

 

The situation only calmed down when police arrived, during which time they had to cuff Dudek who had tried to headbutt an officer. While this was going on witnesses stared in disbelief.

Just read that.. I thought it was some Chelsea bloke making stories up again. Bizarre behavior though if true.

i think its an everton blog...either way, it shouldn't be a news source that news now use as it's a f***ing blog.

Went on a rampage with Golf Clubs? Im sure they would have been stopped by other players if this were true.

The daily record are running the story now it's from a national portugese paper that basically says Rafa was away last night and some players got carried away despite Stevie and Crouchy trying to tell them to calm down. It resulted in police being called and dudek arrested and Penant and fowler facing serious legal issues.

Sure the tabloids would have been all over if there was anything in it all.

Probably blown all out of proportion.

If you look at the original article on their newsfeed the story broke after midnight.

Hope this is not true. If Dudek, Fowler and Pennant did this then it is surely the end of the line for all 3. Rafa will not be pleased at all.

[Walrus]

at Dudek if true

[Chili Palmer]

at Dudek if true

 

If it is true it seems he is doing everything possible to undo all the good work in Istanbul. Very Strange.

It's the "yet again" in the link that kind of suggests the site is talking crap.

[mooks]

This was always waiting to happen with Pennant

 

Dudek is a waste of space after his Cup exploits

 

Sad way for Fowler to end his Liverpool career - shame

But that is just written based on the original article or are you talking about the Portuguese link?

[Eiler99]

The original article was put online almost 20 hours ago without anyone in the English media picking up on it. Isn't that somewhat strange if the story is true?

Hang back a sec, eh?

 

Do you really believe this?

[RafaShanks]

Please let this be true.

[Gomez]

People question why the papers print outright lies, it is no wonder when there are those that are so readily eager to unquestioningly believe anything they are told without a shred of evidence.

 

It might be true, it might not, but I'll wait until a source more credible says so rather than a foreign tabloid I have never heard of or a bluesh*te blog with 5 or 6 diatribes about Liverpool on his recent posts list.

If it was true it'd be all over Sky Sports News by now.

You mean the Chelsea news feed.

Same here, good to see 15 strong jolly boys outing. Instead of the 2/3 strong splinter group's, that foreigners actively encourage
