PHILINFRANCE Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Frankly, I am not particularly keen on either of them, but he does have a point. 'You employ a man who spat at a girl from his car!': Matt Le Tissier reveals he questioned why Jamie Carragher can still work for Sky Sports when he was sacked to save their 'reputation' after his Covid rants.

Super Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Was it really because of his rants? I don't recall Charlie and Tommo posting rubbish etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I agree entirely, but what I just cannot understand is how SKY continued to employ JC after what, by any measure, was a disgusting incident - I appreciate the two are not connected and, of course, SKY have financial implications to consider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incident was was sometime ago and remember Carragher saying at the time that he was seriously concerned that he’d be sacked over it. Le Tissiers comments are from a bitter and resentful sacked pundit - a classic example of sour grapes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitting is a physical assault which is a criminal offence and should have been charged and sacked for it. Le Tissiers only made comments what he thought was correct at the time. Sad world we live in to compare the two. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never apologiser for anything that's been proven incorrect either. He is so far down the rabbit hole it is pretty sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTonyTony Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Agree re Carragher. Should have been sacked - he is not a great pundit anyway. I know the banter between him and G Neville is popular, but i find his scouse whine annoying. Le Tissier is a basket case. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalRed Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 For Sky Sports, it is acceptable for an employee to gob on a 14 year old girl as the Carragher/Neville relationship works well and is popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 People might not agree with Le Tissier's opinions, but he is entitled to express what he believes. Free speech is a right which has cost him dearly. However, he has not broken any law. Carragher, on the other hand, has got off very lightly. Not surprised Le Tissier raises the question of fairness, 18 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezo Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Tiss has some interesting perspectives to say the least, I actually have some time for his perspectives - I don't agree with a lot of them but I can see where they are coming from and that is an important place e.g. freedom - what should be held IMHO as more important than life/death. JC should have been sacked for what he did and if he was 10 years older and less relevant then probably would have been. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atticus Posted June 23, 2022 Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 Pretty sure Le Tissier was still somewhat mild when he left sky in comparison to now. I do recall he was publicly questioning the legitimacy of BLM while near the end of his time at sky though, and you know how far sky backed it. So maybe partly that? I dunno.
