Carragher spits at fan / now prank on g neville backfires

[JPBB]

Yes, but spitting in someone's face, on it's own, regardless of whether there's a complaint or not, isn't necessarily assault. Without accompanying violence or the threat of violence, it's battery (unlawful application of force upon a person). Therefore it can't be assault with a weapon, or aggravated assault, as it fails the "assault" part.

He says he loses his rag. The incident occurs over several minutes. And then he spits at her. I'd say there is a threat of violence.

He has to be sacked, you cannot represent a broadcasting organisation like sky after that kind of behaviour. They will see it has liable to bring them into disrepute.

So he's ruined for life and it's proportionate? Not convinced I like that idea much.

Geoffrey Boycott?

Not quite as catastrophic for Carragher....

But a major setback nonetheless.

They're gas-lighting us. Perhaps Adam Johnson should be invited to comment as well. And Roy Keane, come to that; and Eric fucking Cantona.

What baffles me is that the media give these cretins oxygen to have an opinion.
Barton has a charge list as long as your arm yet is allowed to have a job.
Quite unbelievable really.

Losing your temper and becoming violent aren't one and the same, nor does the first imply the second.

 

[StrangewaysHereWeCome]

There’s such a taboo around spitting, though. Think it’s a bit OTT myself. There are far worse things in this world than being spat at.

Oh what I'd give to be spat at in the face

I think he should be praised for keeping both hands on the wheel.
