Suggestions that Sterling grabbed him by the neck in the canteen?
Don't think grabbing a Liverpool player by the neck (if true) diminishes it?Just as his reputation was at an all-time high.
I thought that too, maybe Sterling was so gobsmacked that Gomez was in the squad he thought he'd broken in and was trying to escort him off the premises.Why is Joe Gomez even in the England squad? Guy has played 4 games totalling 98 minutes in the league.
Sterling just misunderstood is all, honest mistakeI thought that too, maybe Sterling was so gobsmacked that Gomez was in the squad he thought he'd broken in and was trying to escort him off the premises.

Excellent point. Give him the armband.Don't think grabbing a Liverpool player by the neck (if true) diminishes it?
Where does it say that Gomez did anything other than say hello and try to shake Sterling's hand?This is the exact reason I detest the scouse lot & the media that panders to them.
For well i’m excess of a decade the likes of Beckham, Neville, Rio [& so on] would go away on international duty after winning trophy upon trophy without any “banter” going too far.
Yes there were stories of divides but results were left to speak for themselves & wouldn’t even give the time of day to players if they didn’t particularly like them.
Roll on to the present day where them idiots have finally won 1 trophy in 12/13 seasons & some upstart defender takes the banter too far.
They should both be bloody banned, don’t empower a lack of class in victory as much as telling Sterling he needs to man up in defeat.
You talk about those days like it was a roaring success for England. You say just 'divides' but a continuous poor squad dynamic is likely to hamper the results. I remember we used to hear stories about how players were bored on international duty, and like anyone else at work if your bored that affects your motivation.This is the exact reason I detest the scouse lot & the media that panders to them.

My first thought too.He is just doing it on the order of Pep to get a rest.
Hey, I'm not, I think Sterling is a cnut. Watch him tattoo a chokehold on his second leg now and then claim some of his friends was murdered in canteen like that.Shock horror you’re all taking Sterling’s side.
I’m not sure why Gomez is in the squad given his Liverpool form and limited appearances.
This is where it started I think:

He unnecessarily picked Sterling up like some rag doll as was seen in the game; disrespect isn’t something I’d simply leave on the field of play.Where does it say that Gomez did anything other than say hello and try to shake Sterling's hand?
Chill ... it's just in jest (still allowable?)Excellent point. Give him the armband.
I wasn't being sarcastic. I appreciate the humour.Chill ... it's just in jest (still allowable?)

The pessimism has got you to.He is just doing it on the order of Pep to get a rest. Now Rashford will play and get injured.
Guess that’s one way to look at it; I’m a growing fan of Sterling’s.Tweet

When you referred to taking banter too far I thought you meant Gomez provoked him on International duty.He unnecessarily picked Sterling up like some rag doll as was seen in the game; disrespect isn’t something I’d simply leave on the field of play.
Sterling as can be easily lip read told him “don’t f***ing touch me” [& more]. I understand why player don’t trade blows on the pitch but I’d suggest a little more respect even during a club game for a man you’re about to be sharing close quarters with less than 24 hours later.
Fair, point though; it doesn’t say Gomez didn’t just shake his hand & say hello but can you do me a favour & show me where any story has reported he did?
This is terrible. Do better.Hey, I'm not, I think Sterling is a cnut. Watch him tattoo a chokehold on his second leg now and then claim some of his friends was murdered in canteen like that.
It seems like you think squad dynamics were fine in those days because if they didn't like someone they just wouldn't speak to them.Do i?

It's 1:30 AM, the feck do you expect? Wait till tomorrow and we'll see if you're still a big guy then.This is terrible. Do better.
Hadn’t seen the Mail article, my mistake. Guess we’ll never really know as we weren’t there.When you referred to taking banter too far I thought you meant Gomez provoked him on International duty.
I agree he was out of order on the pitch but these things are normally forgotten and they apparently shook hands at full time.
In the story linked in the OP it says Gomez said hello and leaned over to shake Sterling's hand and he flipped the lid altogether.
