Riise/Bellamy incident

With all his claims of having sources within the Liverpool squad, coaching staff and board of directors, you’d expect Duncan Oldham would have informed KopTalk members of the Riise/Bellamy bust-up before anyone else heard about it. But these claims are false and so KopTalk members were told about the incident, as with so many other big stories, by other members.

This was how the news broke on KopTalk (you can read the full thread here):

what about the Bellamy-Riise fight?
Bellers knocked down Riise`s door and attacked him with a “golf-iron” and gave him a couple of hard hits.
From norwegian media.

Just read in several serious norwegian newspapers tonight that Bellammy has attacked Riise in Riise’s Hotel room. Riise was asleep, Bellamy had broken the door and hit Riise several times using a golf club.. This sound very serious, and I know that these norwegian newspapers do not tend to publish untrue or false stories. If it’s true, it’s a real disgrace and a shame for the club and particularly Bellamy. Not good for the preparations come Barca..

Do they say it was in jest or a real fight?

Probably as a result of some indifferences earlier on the night. It says nothing about a fight, just Bellamy attacking a sleeping Riise who had went to bed early..

I just read the NOTW story ( I know, I feel ashamed and dirty that I did so) but curiosity got the better of me. They are saying (more or less) that Bellamy attempted to hurt Riise purposely on the legs because he wouldn’t get up and sing a bloody karaoke song and belittled him
I don’t know what to think here for the best.

This all happened on Thursday night/Friday morning how come no one from Koptalk knew about it until Saturday afternoon when the story broke in the Portugese and Norwegian media?

Good question, when did you find out about it Warren?

I found out when it was on NewsNow earlier today. I have no inside info.

I’m really p!ssed about this. Why is it that we find out about this from the NOTW Dunk?
All we get is some cover-up story from some lackey called Valter. It’s obvious now that something happened – would the NOTW go front-page with this otherwise?

Hey Dunk,
How come Koptalk couldn’t have told us this?
What am I paying my subs for FFS!

JAR’s agent Jan Kvalheim has confirmed via sms to norwegian newspaper VG that Riise was early in bed, and he had not been drinking at all… My guess; Bellamy is finished and will be kicked out of the club!
