[Football] Jamie Carragher spits at fan (young girl)
- Thread starter Sheebo
- Start date
As long as Gerard is not on the same panel. It’s been proven ?
Correct. He waves to them at the start so I doubt they’d done much wrong beforehand.

I love how the papers say he was "goaded" into it.
When someone says they were goaded into something, it says an enormous amount of their character.
If not lack of self control, it demonstrates that deep down he's a disgusting individual who will probably feel no remorse as his career bottoms out and he ends up as a columnist for the next failing Sports Broadcast Company.

Utter rubbish. He attempts to spit as far as he can by lurching sideways. Clear intent for that to make contact.

Totally agree. Disgusting. However we don't know what had happened before. It could have been more than just '2-1 mate'.

Carragher's actions notwithstanding, these two reporters hounding him through the station are utter lowlife scum. Shame he didn't have any spittle prepared.

Yeah, so what? Praising our players doesn't detract from the fact that what he has done is absolutely disgusting.

FFS. Why don't people ever read anything in context? I'm not defending him in any way whatsoever. I was just responding to the poster who said the fella had just said '2-1 mate'. We have no idea what happened before that.

***NSC binfest alert!***
Well we don't know for certain, but the way the conversation goes it seems quite clear that that's the first time they've spoked to each other. There could have been some hand gestures before, but even that looks unlikely, and if it was the case, why would Jamie put his window down?
Just reading comments on here about his apology, he claims others had also wound him up, but no suggestion the people in this car had.

What does it matter what happened before, is there anything to justify what he did? As far as I'm aware, you act by your own moral compass, not other peoples.
Okay. I watched the video again and it looks worse than I first thought.

It doesn't. I am not commenting on the behaviour of any of the participants, or the rights or wrongs. I was commenting on the poster who said "The fella just said 2-1 mate". How does he know that? Would we view it differently if the fella had previously said something totally obnoxious and offensive? I think we would. Again I'm not commenting on the morality of anything that happened, just the assumptions people make.

That's the crux of the matter. If he wasn't an ex football/pundit, the Utd fan wouldn't have been beeping his horn and then deliberately lowered his window to taunt him. You also don't know what gestures may have been made. You hear the Utd fan shout "2-1 Jamie" - was this accompanied by hand gestures?
To be clear, Carraghers response was disgusting and an overreaction but lets not pretend that he's just walked up to the Utd fan and his daughter who were minding their own business and spat on them. There was some antagonism regardless of the fact that the response wasn't justified.

I wouldn't view it differently regardless of what was said to JC.
I think he acted stupidly regardless of what did or didn’t happen before.

And I agree with you. That wasn't the point I was making. I was challenging the poster's assumptions.
