The former footballer is accused of sexual assault over a claim he planted a sloppy, drunken kiss on a fellow train passenger.

Gascoigne, who denies a charge of sexual assault by touching, said he did not regard the kiss as sexual harassment.

British Transport Police officer Robert Moody told the court that Gascoigne was sat in the foyer in an"intoxicated, drunken state" and had a glass of beer in his hand. When asked by the prosecution why he had not challenged the person who supposedly insulted his alleged victim, the former Newcastle and Middlesbrough star said:"I do not think it was for me to challenge anybody.Gascoigne agreed he was not"so drunk he didn't know what he was doing" at the time, and said any impression he was slurring his words was because he did not have his false teeth in.

He's basically pleading not guilty but admitting his guilt. His legal advisors must be as pissed up as he is.

adamharperrr

Constant supervision me thinks!

jesus h! he was drunk. and he's a idiot. put the two together

You can’t do owt these days if a women kissed him nowt would be said wat a waste of money taking this to court

Least he didn’t touch her arm

Just hold your hands up and apologise man

Waste of space.

Well that’s the most ridiculous thing I’m going to read today.

Seems a ludicrous trial. He has pled not guilty to sexual assault, whilst admitting in his defence that he kissed her, but not in a sexual manner. Unwanted touching or kissing is sexual assault and it should be found as such.

Thank God he was there. The streets aren't safe any more. My daughter went out yesterday and people stood by filming as no one at all slobbered all over her.

I suppose offering her some Vasoline would of given her the wrong impression

Anyone like me, who has seen this guy 'enjoying' a night out In Newcastle, will not be surprised by these allegations!

Did he have his rod with him by any chance ?

Well, that must be the most obscure excuse in English court history. Not even Henry VIII could come up with such a line.

Oh Gazza what have you done.

Oh Gazza, who's told you to say that Bloody hell.

Dry lips can be a killer
