So he admits he had no excuse and then he gave excuses.

I did too notice this flaw in his statement.

What a vile tit,

Spitting is disgusting and the fact that it appears to have been his first reaction is shocking.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Sackable offence and also classed as assault.

Common thing at every punk gig I went to in the late 70's

A stupid and disgusting act but it would be a shame if he lost his job over it. I would have thought being suspended until the end of the season should be sufficient.

Probably drawing up a list of replacements as we speak,
Rooney
Schmichael
Yorke
Scholes
And the fav giggs .

Hahahahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

The knob spots Carragher and starts filming trying to provoke him. I am in no way condoning what he did, spitting is both vile and infantile but that dad is s moron. His daughter wasn't that upset about the spitting more her dad's behaviour.

carragher was the victim it wasn't his fault

I’d be sad to see him go. I know from a few years back from someone who was close to him at that time that he’s from a seriously rough background. Much more so than Gerrard or even Rooney, but he’s clearly educated himself and for me is one of the most thoughtful and articulate pundits on tv. I hugely enjoy his football analysis; it’s always well-considered and fair. It would be sad to see a momentary lapse bring a promising career to an end. Spitting is considered disgusting by society, but is it nearly as reprensible as shagging your brother’s wife, for example? That hasn’t stopped Giggs carrying on with his life and career. People break the law; it doesn’t make them monsters.

People comparing it to what Collymore did are being ridiculous. One was a sustained attack on a defenceless female and an egregious abuse of power; the other was Jamie Carragher losing it for a spilt second after being provoked, for which he’s subsequently apologised. For me, absolutely no comparison.

I don’t think he will lose his job, as Sky didn’t sack Paul Merson or Kirsty Gallagher for drink driving, which is surely a more serious offence.
