I don't think the issue is age, more of the fact that it's his wifes sister.
To be fair, I am hardly one to judge someone for cheating one someone else, but at the same time, I am not a rolemodel who loads of people, not just kids, look up too.
I actually agree with JT for once, he is the one made out to be a ****, but in the bigger picture, what Gerrard has 'supposedly' done is far worse, and thus, to take the captaincy from someone for a lesser reason, and then give it to someone with a mahoosive **** storm about to break on him, seems a bit wierd.
If this is true, it eclipses Cashley and JT's personal problems by a mile, and I for one feel quite sorry for them as they had their personal lives raped, while someone who has made a bigger and more disgusing mistake (if he even thinks it's a mistake :S) gets rewarded with the Captaincy of his country, and a gagging order on the press to stop it coming out during the world cup, where everyone has been bumming him, if this had come out before the world cup, I wonder how people would have reacted to him even being on the plane, let alone being captain.
Anyhows, just my opionion ons its
