Pisti speaks from beyond the grave... He wanted me to share this with the rest of youse wetlips like, la'...
A MAN pulled a gun in a packed Merseyside pub after Liverpool FC’s late defeat to Spurs.
The incident is believed to have been sparked by Everton fans celebrating Aaron Lennon’s last gasp decider at White Hart Lane last night.
Armed response units attended the Wellington Hotel on St James Road, Prescot, after reports the gun had been pulled. It later turned out to fire only BB pellets.
Officers were scrambled at around 6.30pm, just minutes after the final whistle blew in London
Wellington landlord, Harry Stewart told the ECHO: “The Liverpool versus Tottenham game was on. Tottenham scored in the last minute and one or two Everton fans just jumped up, causing a little bit of a scuffle. I don’t know if the gun was plastic.”
Initial reports suggested a man in the pub was brandishing a handgun and threatening pub goers.
Merseyside Police said it was necessary to send armed response officers because of the nature of that initial report.
But the incident was over in a matter of minutes and the offender had left the pub by the time police arrived.
Patrols were stepped up in the area as officers sought out the man responsible.
Mr Stewart said: “It was a storm in a teacup and just an issue of a football flashpoint.
“The staff didn’t have much to do with it, it was the regulars who sorted it and just pushed him outside.”
The offender left the weapon on scene and it was looked after by bar staff until police arrived.
The incident came as a surprise as the man who produced the BB gun was said to have attended with his family, and wasn’t even drinking while watching the game.
Mr Stewart said: “He came across as a nice fella and had come in with his family.
“It was out of character.
“He wasn’t even drinking, it was just a flashpoint in the game.”
“I’ve been here six years and never had any issues and I know the landlord before me never had any issues.
“It was just a little scuffle over football that was over in minutes.”
At no point was the weapon discharged and no injuries were sustained by anyone present.
A man has been arrested and is being questioned by officers.

in fairness, if you're going to put up pictures of Tattoos, that are that wonky, you can't expect the world to kiss your arse and tell you they look like they were done by ortega @ evil from the needle.
Hi Mike, Sorry about Sunday. If only we couldn't split 6 points down the middle!

But more to the point...
Unfortunately, due to the results, Leicester are the Top Team in the East Midlands at the moment.
...no "unfortunately" about it Damo. You saw us take your boys apart, and Forest were as good as we let them be last night...and that was not very good at all.

personally i hope G rises above this name calling. Everton take a beating from Albion and he's nowhere to be seen. Come on G this place is a lot more fun with you around. Leave Lynx out of the equation.
