Jamie Carragher spits on 14 year old girl - suspended by Sky Sports (video)

[Gandalf]

I think I am just so used to people spitting everywhere that it isn't a shock to me. Honestly I was sat in my car yesterday just taking a break and I saw 3 people spitting on the floor in the space of a few minutes. When walking you have to make an effort to avoid the streams of sputum. If someone started to annoy me in the street spitting would be an almost natural response at this stage. You cannot throw punches as that will cost you several thousand pounds. Spitting is the way to go.

Miles, it brings out something primeval in me.

I don't have a daughter, but if somebody spat at my wife I must admit I would lose the plot and go prehistoric on the spitter. Maybe that's why we ban guns, because I would shoot them. Without question.

The guy in the video was not that bad, but he had no reason to be filming and winding up Carragher. He should have been driving a car and that is that. He should think himself lucky he wasn't doing that to 1988 Mike Tyson. The car would have been wrecked, the phone broken and his skull cracked. Just drive your car and go wherever you are going. Is it so difficult?

If it was me there would have been no filming and I would have left him alone. No problem then.

I quite agree, the prick in the first car was showing off to his young daughter by goading Carragher. The idiot was driving with her in the car, window open, filming and shouting abuse.

Now he is apparently the victim, it's his fucking fault

Youre quite right, Iron Mike would have savaged the guy .... and possibly gone a step too far with the daughter too

It's not particularly abusive, but he was being a prat. I think his daughter even said 'Stop it' as she knew herself her Dad was being an idiot. You don't drive and film and wind up someone you don't know when they have done nothing to you. It's hardly crime of the century, but nobody has any obligation to be 'nice' back to you when you are behaving like that. His daughter could see it, Carragher certainly thought so and the result was some spit. Boo hoo. Definitely worth a sacking.

The dad/driver is being interviewed by the police. It would be ironic if he lost his job because of the incident.

yep i suspect at the end of all this he will have bigger regrets than carragher
