Or maybe he is genuinely upset and ashamed of his actions and is showing genuine remorse for what happened

Carragher went through his whole career getting a lot of abuse both on and off the pitch , gettin stuff thrown at him etc

This appears to be totally out of character for him so it’s a mistake - an awful mistake that he will serve a punishment but as with everyone else in life people deserve to be allowed to move on and put the incident behind him.

None of us have halos over our head and thankfully no one is hurt from this situation - even though the father prob was the one putting people on real danger throughout the incident

sorry but just no. Carragher has form for being a hot head .. and a bit of a wrongern .. got himself in trouble for throwing a coin back into the crowd and then there is this little nugget

Boys in blue have enough evidence against the pair of them so it will be interesting to see what they do. I'm not sure where the motorway comment comes from, it looked like the road leading away from the ground which is always clogged up.

“More than enough chances in life” - what sort of statement is that supposed to be ?

So what do you think should happen to him “ in life”

And what exactly is “that little nugget” - Neill was a thug whose shocking tackle did break Carraghers leg and I would expect any player to be angry if someone did that - but what exactly did he do - answer nothing.

he was more than happy to have "the boys" repay him.. a bad tackle in the game happens... sending the boys round shows what type of company he keeps..

what should happen is he shouldn't be employed as a pundit again. he has enough money to do something else in life.. he earned a good wage for many years. footballers don't have to be pundits... he pundit career should take the same dive as Ron Atkinson.

I can see him getting the bullet, absolutely despicable behaviour which I imagine will not go down well with his employers at all.

Agree 100% disgusting despicable behaviour.

Have to agree that it's disgusting and expect him to get the sack however I have mixed thoughts. I would imagine most of us have reacted poorly in certain situations and instantly regretted it (I know I have). Listening to an interview with him today you could hear that he was almost in tears and I felt a little bit of sympathy for him. Won't be a good time for him and his family.

He's bound to show remorse, he's got a brain, he's trying to atone for his actions, but turning on the water or nearly doing so that is desperation.

Out of character or not what he did was unforgivable, it is assault, it is disgusting thug behaviour from someone who in his privileged position should have known better.

One of the most gross acts you can do and to do it, while being goaded and filmed and to do so with a child in the other car was pathetic and stupidity of the highest order. I am sure he deeply regrets the split second actions and is sorry but you have to live with the consequences of your actions and I'm afraid to say he deserves everything he gets from an employer/employee stand point

100% correct.

For me Carrahger is in a privileged position of modest celebrity, in that people know who he is and because of that he should be to control his demeanour appropriately. Regardless of the time of day his is an ambassador for Sky Sports and represents them whether he is in the office commentating or not.

His actions are one of vile disgust, it doesn't matter who you are, what you do or whatever the circumstances are, any decent human being in public life does not spit on someone. You do not spit on someone, never, period.

He may have been goaded, by the bloke with the phone, but Carrahger chose to wind his window down, he chose to spit at the girl and her father and those decisions are very likely to cost him very dearly.

As for the bloke filming the whole episode, hopefully there's enough evidence on his phone to prosecute him for driving while using a mobile phone.

 

[User101]

but Carrahger chose to wind his window down, .

That is the one thing I just can't understand, why did he do it, there was no need to get involved, crazy action.

Very dead at work tonight so been reading a lot of articles

this one did make me chuckle

Jamie Carragher's comments regarding West Ham United winger Arthur Masuaku have come back to bite him.

Only last month, the Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool defender called Masuaku "an absolute disgrace" after the Hammer received a six-match ban for spitting at an opponent during the FA Cup defeat at Wigan Athletic.

"It's vile, it's disgusting and it's an absolute disgrace", he told Sky Sports following Masuaku's six-match suspension.

"It's one thing playing like that, as poorly as he did, but it's another thing to go and spit at an opposition player. It's now down to West Ham to react and show the fans that, that type of behaviours not tolerated. It's an absolute disgrace."

However the boot was on the other foot this morning as a grovelling Carragher was forced to issue an apology live on air after he himself was recorded spitting in the face of a 14-year-old child at the weekend.

When i watched City last year in Monaco i bumped into steve McManaman ( for the second time) at the airport in Nice. We had a right good natter again about football and how City had massively underperformed. His words not mine. He was being very diplomatic. My words would get me a ban. However some City fans quite frankly were gibs******. They were giving him loads of verbal. They were calling him everything from him being a scouser to being a crap footballer. The crap he was getting was out of order. However he dealt with it fantastically. He refused to get on the shuttle bus with said planks and was the last off the plane so he was not around them more than he had to.

Now there in lies a problem for me. Some celebs are being accused of not being in touch with the common man any more. Yet when there are. Incidents like what happened to Carra, Macca and The England rugby union manager happen.
Not good at all.

All this talk of a motorway, looks like a dual carriageway to me, plus their stationary for the majority of time, and when moving are crawling no more than 5/10mph and must go all of 50 yards, is that still wrong, yes, is it life threatening and being hugely exaggerated as a deflection, hell yeah!

As for laughing at his daughter when spat on, no! He was laughing at his own banter during the wind up, he didn’t laugh when his daughter announced he’d hit her with his spit as he was fumbling with his phone then, but hey, let’s not let some facts get in the wAy of deflecting what a disgraceful act JC carried out and let’s all jump on the band wagon what a terrible driver & father he is.

putting peoples lives at risk 😂 ffs, yeah right, how many of you pick up your phone in traffic hold ups or when crawling in traffic, I bet loads do, I live on the roads and see it every day if not every hour, is it wrong, yes, is it life threatening at 5mph or stationary, no..

And what’s wrong with him cashing in on it, it’s a story and incident worthy of cashing in on, do we know his or his families circumstances, the money could be well received and go to good use for his daughter that otherwise could never be achieved, sell sell sell I say.

My god there’s some drama queens on here’s let he (or her) who is without sin......

 

[Hobbit]

Hang him, hang him!

Carragher is an obnoxious thug. Does he deserve to lose his job? That’s for Sky to decide.

What is the other driver guilty of? Loud banter and ribaldry? Surely that’s a serious crime!

 

[Kellfire]

What is the other driver guilty of?

Driving while using his phone, at the minimum.

 

[Imurg]

6 points and a fine Vs potential jail...
Throw as big a book as you can at both of them..

 

[Orikoru]

He has been 'suspended' which leads me to believe Sky will wait for it all to blow over before slowly phasing him back into broadcasting duty.

That was fake. Laughable how many people still believe everything they read sourced from twitter and the like as gospel.

As for Carra, it was a moment of madness but inexcusable. If he was being provoked and prodded on the street its still inexcusable, but he had options and time to simply ignore. It's a shame as I like him as a pundit.

I don't get the whole 'it was on him time, not Sky's' defence. My employer, and any future one, would need to know if prosecuted for common assault, regardless if I knocked out the receptionist on my way into work or spat on the guy pushing infront of me for a donner and chips on a Saturday at 3am.

Tough call for Sky, I'm glad they didnt make a knee jerk reaction, but I do think it will be very tough for him to return as a pundit there. He won't be able to call anyone a 'disgrace' (Sky's fave word) or act as judge on anything for a long time, which kind of defeats the object of his and Nevilles punditry style.

 

[Crazyface]

Nah, suspension would be immediate whilst they decide what to do, ie follow the story, see how much he grovels, public opinion etc etc.

Although if he does go back, how amazing would it be if someone in the game he was watching got sent off for spitting and then they went straight to him for a comment? :rofl:

 

[drewster]

On the flip side.....
maybe he could team up with Andy Gray and Richard Keys now

and Ron Atkinson !!!!!

 

[Hacker Khan]

He's a daft lad who has been a bit of a dick and is finding out that, due to his position as a pundit on one of the the flagship shows for the most popular sport in this country, his behaviour will be scrutinised more than others and he will be held to higher behavioural standards. I expect what with the team Sky cycling stuff that is going on Sky needed this like hole in the head. But life moves on.

 

[Don Barzini]

What has amazed me about this whole episode is the way Carragher just reacted like that straight away. I mean all the guy was doing was goading him with the scoreline! He wasn't using foul language as far as we know. Yet Carragher just gobs at him, doesn't even give back a bit of chat first! Straight in with the spitting!

Surely he put up with far worse than that from the sidelines as a player and got used to it, as all footballers do?! Just amazed that he reacted so disgustingly!

 

[Imurg]

Although if he does go back, how amazing would it be if someone in the game he was watching got sent off for spitting and then they went straight to him for a comment? :rofl:

And that is probably why we won't be seeing him again....
If I spat at someone and got prosecuted for it, I would likely lose my ADI licence as I wouldn't be deemed a "fit and proper person" by the governing body. Sky have to protect their image and, although they seem to have been soft on others, I'd be surprised in JC comes back
Would be funny, if he did go back, if GNev wears a raincoat and hat though.....
