I don’t think you can characterise Carragher as a ‘no mark’ in terms of his media footprint.
Legal consequences would be good but in the absence of that some physical consequences would work...Haven’t clicked on it, don’t need to as I know what the tedious **** will have said.
I hope, but don’t remotely expect the club to engage in a campaign of retribution against the most strident and egregious (and high profile) actors in defamation against the club once these preposterous charges are disproved.
Some, like Jordon are canny enough to stay (just) the right side of the line, but others (notably Carragher when he questioned the veracity of our accounts recently) have not and I just wish there were legal consequences for that, especially given the platform he was airing it on.
I’m not holding my breath though.
I think someone spouting that through a national broadcaster has a platform to cause reputational harm in a way that some no mark sat in their bedroom possibly can. A national broadcaster we have a contractual relationship with. There is a huge distinction in my eyes.This is the guy who said Haaland signed for the wrong club and he then proceeded to have a record breaking season. Unprofessionally brings a colleagues relationship into a conversation live on air, not to mention spitting at a girl in a car. He has no credibility as a pundit and as a broadcaster, why should the club waste time chasing him when they can be plotting what next the club can achieve.

True dat, skidmark is the word.I don’t think you can characterise Carragher as a ‘no mark’ in terms of his media footprint.
Yes, all things being equal, the broadcaster would be vicariously liable for what their presenter said. Can’t see the club doing anything like that though.Just out of interest, it's not just the likes of Carragher, Neville, Roan and Goldbridge who have crossed the line, but also Sky, the BBC and Talksport for broadcasting it? Could we (I don't mean the club, I mean concerned citizens) not put together a list of the various offenders/offences and distribute it to those organisations, along with a summary of the risks they are running by allowing those people to continue?
I think it is just possible for a fan to sue for defamation citing the libel as causing the fan mental anguish.Yes, all things being equal, the broadcaster would be vicariously liable for what their presenter said. Can’t see the club doing anything like that though.

Bit of a stretch and costly. Ah well.
Give me 2 minutes with this prick and he'll change his fucking tune alright. He'll be an arsehole with a new arsehole torn into him. I'd rip his head off and shit down his neck.Stop giving this fake prick airtime.
Would a City Scottish stand more chance of sucess, under teir new rules on hate speech?I think it is just possible for a fan to sue for defamation citing the libel as causing the fan mental anguish.
