Raheem Sterling vs Joe Gomez

Raheem Sterling, he's dropped from the team
Sterling is funny he really asked Gomez if he's a big man? Watching too much Top Boy 
Why? Because he had the audacity to leave the greatest and most divine team in the history of the world? Liverpool fans are such weirdos.
They already are.
I don't think he has been sent home, he's just dropped for the first qualifier.
That would be what I’d want if I were a pool fan but he’ll keep it polite as most players do nowadays.
Sorry Harry Kane is that you, prey tell what did actually happen.
Read my posts & you’ll see I’ve actually backed Sterling’s reaction based on Gomez manhandling him in the game.
Sterling isn’t with the bulls*** Gomez dished out & let him know this as soon as he saw him again.
He is under no pressure of losing his position long term, this is a home game against Montenegro not the Semi Final against Croatia.
They can ‘eradicate’ the cliques all they like, I don’t remember when cliques were such an issue players turning up to international duty & choking a rival but yes let’s congratulate the FA for doing something that obviously hasn’t actually worked.

I think he took it personal with Gomes and not TAA because he tried to like lift him up like a doll. It was disrespectful, whereas anything that happened with TAA was just in the course of business. Thats why this happened with gomes and not TAA
Thought that was class by Gomez. He was having none of Sterling trying to act hard. Robertson's smile at Walker was even better. City players really are petulant when things don't go their way.
Wow some of you read way too much into these situations
and then the media run away with it and it becomes bigger news than our civilisation making contact with Aliens
You get what I mean
Step back from this none story situation, and you realise how minuscule it is, it was a little tussle (a bad move from Gomez) that we regularly see in football matches, and Sterling’s emotions got the better of him not being able to let it go
it’s as simple as that, nothing more, nothing less
Regardless to the fact sterling has been dropped, Sterling has released a statement saying both involved have moved on
we and the media should too
that won’t happen of course, this is Britain and the British media, this story will be headline news for the rest of the year, and possibly the majority of next year, people might stop talking about it completely by 2025

Strange that Southgate has dropped Sterling u’d think he would of kept it in house, unless Sterling really went over the top on it or is actually a complete dick in real life.
What’s the difference?
I disagree. Many players are on record saying that they love playing for England these days and they seem genuine about it. In the era you refer to Carrick said playing for England gave him depression and Dean Ashton said when he joined the camp that no one talked to him and the atmosphere was 'bizarre'

You don't need the details of the incident to question that though. He's a fringe player for his club (99 minutes in the Premier League this season), it's a bit odd that Southgate keeps picking and playing him.
Surprised it doesn’t happen more often with the pressure they’re under these days. One mistake and you’re all over the internet for weeks, years even. There’s just no room for error
Why is this public information? Southgate should be keeping this in house, not that it should be happening in the first place. Think this could end up costing him in the long run.

He has't played for England since the summer. But we have only decent - good centre backs at the moment, no top level options so Gomez is being invested in for the future. He may be in a bad moment in his career but keeping him involved can help him with that. He's always been very good for England too.
Literally for another thread in that case. Not a primary concern of this matter.
Probably 20 players plus coaches and canteen staff saw it. Somebody is going to spill the beans
Reading that, Sterling looks like a right knob.
Personally thought it was just handbags between the two on Sunday. Nothing as major as this.
Fair enough.
Bizarre post. Wobble your head a bit, man.
Think he's being made an example of too because England don't want to go back to the days of club rivalries dividing the squad.
Indeed. Sterling looked on the verge of losing it the entire game on Sunday. Seems 24h away from it wasn't enough to cool down.
Gomez probably took the last bread roll, Sterling was hacked off 
I think what's clear here is that both players spent their formative years in football at Liverpool FC, so it is that club that is 100% at fault in this matter. They should pay a very harsh penalty of at least a twenty point deduction for the 19/20 season and possible expulsion from the league. The authorities need to send a message that this kind of thing is not acceptable.
You can bet if this was against Germany, France etc he would have just got a ticking off.
Montenegro???
Montenegro???
One should always keep emotions out of the job but in the end they are just human beings.
People tend to forget that footballers are very young half boy / half man with most of them being under 30.
I for example have been a useless idiot until 25 or so.

It's not part of the game. If you do it, you are a cnut and should live with the consequences. Kicking, grabbing, insulting etc. isn't all good as long as it happens on the football pitch. I like what Sterling has done. If someone behaves like an asshole and then conveniently pretends like nothing happens, he should be confronted for it.
Not being able to separate what goes on on the pitch and after the whistle ends isn't exactly impressive. So what if Gomez was acting like a d*** yesterday, it's part of the mindgames that goes on on the pitch. You drop it after the game ends and move on.
Sterling didn't have the balls to say something in private. He had the amazingly short foresight to attempt to goad Gomez into a physical confrontation. The balls part would be Sterling having a man to man talk with Gomez and sorting their issues out, not this bluster bs.
It's a United forum pal. We hate your club.
If he's one of our best it really says alot about England.
Well he's not been sent home. He's still with the squad
Yeah not sure why this has got in the public domain. I'm sure these things happen all the time so why make such a big deal of it. Especially if it's as minor as reported. Essentially Sterling is far more valuable than Gomez so why alienate him over minor handbags I don't know. You obviously need to set an example but why acknowledge it to the media and have the manager talk about it I don't know.
This is the funny part for me too. People act as if Sterling 'standing up' to him in an environment where he knew nothing could happen to him because of everybody else around them would intervene is somehow perceived as an act of having balls. Following this logic Gomez would 'have the balls' if he just snapped him in half due to their physical difference. Sterling is like that little dog with all bark no bite type of stuff.
"You're taller than me"
"No u"
"No u"
You should write for the sun
Thought you've had me on ignore since forever?
Bloody hell, just handbags, get on with it you pair of soft cnuts.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:

Hope Raheem retires from international football. He knows where he stands now - he can spend years working harder than anybody else should ever have to in order to "redeem himself" in the eyes of the public, but that can all be undone in the space of a single argument. Really disappointed (and suspicious) that Southgate's hung him out to dry like this after consistently backing him but at least it shows that Sterling has no actual friends at the FA, nobody who would genuinely back him unless they wanted to be seen doing so.
