pete 371 Posted May 13, 2021 Jamie Carragher the Liverpool born self appointed Sky special tactical pundit. Is in it along with many other Sky presenters a very creditable fight to be involved. However how he managed to keep his position after his disgraceful actions in spitting at a little girl from his car. Obviously there are certain misdemeanours that can be overlooked given time. Brought this matter up because he is an awful person and this needs to be highlighted at every opportunity and is not the tactical genius he thinks he is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

horsefly 5,301 Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) So, can I "self-appoint" myself as a Sky pundit? I didn't realise it was that easy. Oh! And would you like another go at writing an intelligible thread title, just so we get some clue as to what this is supposed to be about?

keelansgrandad 6,680 Posted May 13, 2021 I know Pete is being very rhetorical but I am surprised at the antagonism toward him. But we do all know that celebrity means fireproof so I am surprised Pete is surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Angry 2,017 Posted May 13, 2021 Yeah, it was disgusting, but it was 3 years ago and the family asked Sky not to sack him because he contacted them to apologise and showed remorse. They moved on, not sure why Pete hasn’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham Paddons Beard 2,791 Posted May 13, 2021 Pete can be a bit of a kn0b but this is a hard one to argue against . Assume Jamie stood up when Liverpool wore the Suarez TShirts? No, didn’t so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,830 Posted May 13, 2021 Old news, but still unpleasant all round. The manc toe rag in the car was taunting the Liverpool ex-player with the losing score line so hardly surprising that he got a reaction from Carragher, disgusting as it was. Imagine an Ipswich supporter drawing alongside you, winding his window down and taunting you in your car when they beat us (not that they ever do), what would you do? Stick your fingers up at him? Swear at him? Take it in good heart and smile? Ignore him? I guess it depends on what mood you're in...spitting is a particularly unpleasant reaction, but then so was the taunting of someone in their private space minding their own business. An ugly incident, best forgotten imo, but it was dealt with and why the op has brought it up again, only he knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Assume Jamie stood up when Liverpool wore the Suarez TShirts? No, didn’t so. I dont think anyone is particularly defending Carragher. For me personally I'm just baffled as to why it's been posted as A- it has nothing to do with Norwich City B- it happened about three years ago C- it has nothing to do with the fight against racism he mentioned in the title. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should not be discouraged from posting in the Football thread things about football. You should call on the mods to remove threads about football that descend into Sh1t as you call it. And then of course there’s ‘non-football’ - full of idiots that think they’re on Twitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
