wendyredredrobin Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 I really can't understand why Professional Footballers need to spit. it seems the same for all professional sportsmen. I've seen rugby players and even cricketers doing it. I've played football and a few other sports over the years and never felt the need to spit.

It wasn’t in that horrible 1-4 game around Xmas was it? If I’d been a pro footballer, I’d be throwing photocopies of my payslips into the crowd if they were giving me some...that would hurt them a lot more!

Carragher has had years of worse than that and should know better. It’ll be outrageous if he doesn’t get the sack. You're the copper Fordy... Yes disgusting Carragher should be sacked... As a copper though I'd have thought you'd be calling for the dad to be prosecuted for using/filming events on a mobile phone whilst driving, he's an absolute ****.. His daughter should sue JC while the dad with (gleeful 'Carragher spat at my daughter' £££signs in his eyes) should be fined at least as much as the papers are paying him for the footage plus a driving penalty and points on his licence... The only one coming out of this with any credit is the young girl, she deserves more than a simple apology from the multi millionaire chav - put your filthy mits in your pocket Carragher and compensate the only innocent one in this, the victim!

I actually think the dad did quite well to be so restrained. I’d have acted quite differently if he’d spat in my daughters face... arrested him, obviously!

Robbored Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 He's just been on SSN apologies in abundance as you might expect. Says it was "a moment of madness" and has apologised to the girl and her father. Fair play to the presenter who fired some very decent questions at him.he was really squirming. Hes been suspended from Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EstoniaTallinnRed Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 7 hours ago, Loco Rojo said: His argument was that he was goaded a number of times during the journey after the game - which might explain his over reaction - no excuse though and totally out of order. Don't have a problem with footballers verbally reacting to abuse from fans, we're all human, but spitting is the lowest form of reaction. Under the law, it's also an assault!

poland_exile Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 why anyone would assume he is a person of class in the first place is beyond me, but that's beside the point. I wrote recently on this page about a run-in I had with John Aldridge during a home game at AG mid-90s. Cheating git took a dive then scored the resulting penalty. I (along with several others) saw it as our duty to give him dog's abuse at half-time as he was going towards the Atyeo tunnel. He looked me in the eye and gave me a wink and a cheeky smile. I've got to tip my hat to him, he took it as part of the panto that is football, and frankly his reaction at the time sent me through the roof! He played the situation bang on and i respect him for it. That Carragher can't rise above a ribbing says much. For all that, he is human - i'm sure most of us would have snapped every now and again if we lived the best part of our life facing grief, cat calls and wind-ups from complete and utter strangers. The right way to react would have been to do what Aldridge did to me, but unless you're in that situation it's hard to judge. Carragher did a scumbag thing, but I see no reason this should go further than a sincere apology (from both sides, incidentally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Does anyone really believe he's genuinely sorry?

Esmond Million's Bung Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 Vile filthy hypocrite, I hope Sky drop him tout suite, if they don't we will know the level of their acceptance. And his apology is all about £1mil per year and nothing about meaning it genuinely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
