As much as I hate to admit it, this.

TBH, spitting sucks and I'd never condone it as an act as it's just gross. But should people be able to sling abuse with impunity? The expectation that you can be a twatneck to anyone famous with zero reprisals seems naive at best and why I also wasn't up in arms about Ageuro twatting that Wigan fan.

Aggressive actions by an individual must have consequences and while not desirable or morally acceptable (depending on what was said), if you think you're clever spouting a facebook crack at Jamie Carragher, getting one in the eye instead of a proper left scouse hook is a risk you take. And he shouldn't be losing his job over his reaction to personal abuse.

That all felt very dirty to say, given he's a filthy scouser, but this idea of being able to do/say anything you want to someone famous with impunity bugs the gently caress out of me. If you're gonna run your mouth, expect a smashed in face at best.

Not sure "admitted" is the right term when you're already on video. Who flies off the handle like that from being told "2-1" anyways? Makes you wonder what kind of poo poo he pulls when he's not busy driving and being obviously filmed.

Watch the video. There's no contact beyond them driving up to him and shouting "2-1, unlucky game that," and being spat on.

Sorry your little boyfriend's a prick, old boy.

He should probably be fired. Shouldn't be spitting on people.

Would be depressing if they fired him over it. Then they would show all the shitnugget bellends that it pays off to act like shitnugget bellends. That they could get whoever they want fired just by acting like shitshows. Seriously, the fact that he films all that stuff, and things that also are said in the video, quite clearly shows there were some real pissy provoking going on.

Can't condone spitting on someone, but lets not try to pretend that just because he's an ex-football player and a Sky pundit he's not human but some almighty demigod who gotta be held to the morals and perfectness of the divine. 'Cause he is human, and he's a die-hard Liverpool fan who's getting provoked in the most inane manner by some moron. Give him a hard slap on the wrist and whatever, but firing him over it would be the real disgrace.

If teasing fans of rival sports teams by repeating the score of their latest match is enough for you to consider someone a "shitnugget bellend," you should probably grow some thicker skin and kick back some more

As a American I have seen sports related incidents like this countless times and I believe this whole incident was uncalled for but if your gonna goad a known former player and LFC fan then your gonna get whats coming and thats it. The father should be ashamed to provoke another driver while filming and then cry wolf to the tabloids. Typical United supporters haha

His mates saw someone he had a beef with in a B&Q and texted him offering to beat them up for him. Magnanimously, Carragher declined.

Carragher declined to have Lucas Neil assaulted because David Thompson was there and he knew that David Thompson would recognise his mates as the attackers and it would be traced back to him.

If that makes your published autobiography then the stuff that can't be included must be amazing.

I confess I didn't bother watching the video that couldn't possibly have been edited, so owned me I guess.

But yeah, I'm still in the "little sympathy for people going out of their way to goad someone, then bad things happen" camp. He's also an idiot for retaliating in such a fashion, the two opinions aren't mutually exclusive.

I agree that it seems very unlikely that Carragher would spit at someone for saying 2-1 to him, I guess it's similar to whether you believe Cantona was driven to a blind rage by "Off you go Cantona, it's an early shower for you!"

lol west ham

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/mar/09/west-ham-fan-groups-protest-march-rift

quote:

West Ham United have been accused of failing to respond appropriately after the chairman of one of their supporter groups was left fearing for his safety, having received abuse and threats over attempts to organise a protest march against the club’s board before Saturday’s home game against Burnley.

The abuse has gone on for a week and has seen the 35-year-old has received threatening text messages from unknown numbers and attacks on Facebook from members of the Real West Ham Fans Group (RWHFG), which was set up this season by Andy Swallow and Micky Morgan, founder members of the infamous unofficial Inter City Firm.

The march had initially been called for by the RWHFG, which was known as the Real West Ham Fans Action Group until last week, amid rising dissatisfaction with West Ham’s struggles. The prospect of a major protest through Stratford grabbed West Ham’s attention and on 19 February a meeting was arranged between the board and representatives from a coalition of 15 fan groups, including Morgan, Swallow and Walker. Although the club’s owners, David Gold and David Sullivan, were not there, Brady, the vice-chairman, was present.

West Ham have not denied that Swallow, who has links with the controversial Football Lads Alliance, visited Sullivan’s house.
