Interesting Comments from Carra...

[Strontium]

It's a special kind of stupid that films himself breaking the law then gives it to a national newspaper. Although I hear the police won't be prosecuting, as everyone probably wants the story to die a death.

 

The smart thing to do would have been to quietly "sell" the footage to Carra's agent. But that wouldn't have enabled him to try and get a Scouser sacked, would it.

[Ronnie Whelan]

Couldn't have put it better myself. All these manc fans from Dagenham, Gloucestershire and Ireland telling everyone how much they hate scousers but have never had any dealing with any their entire lives. Cunts.

Worked on a big job with a few hundred irish lads. Most supported us and pretty much all of them including the united fans were dead sound. However,two or three went on like they born in Salford and personally lost members of their family in munich. As you say the worst offenders for the scouse jibes are out of towners but i guess it can be the same with us too.

 

A lot of the old school mancs are alright. I go back to the 70s and 80s and saw serious agro but the bile gets to me way worse with all these keyboard warriors. The dad looks like one of them.

[Tony Moanero]

The thing is, as much as people hate to admit it, football aside, Scousers and Mancunians are pretty similar.

[Ginny]

Once a blue, always a blue. Filthy cunt

[Dr Nowt]

Good old football, bringing out the absolute best and most positive side of everyone involved, as usual.

Aye, pretty much how I see it.

[Kevin D]

Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Carra should visit the family, ring doorbell, wait for them to answer the door and shout 2 fucking nil Sevilla. Have it.

That would make him completely retarded, given the game ended 1-2.

"Will ensure he gets the help he needs..." 

 

The fuck? Are they saying it's a condition?

 

[Mark M]

So a heavy suspension but should be back with Sky doing punditry for next season.

Best result for him really, gives things time to die down. 

[Mr T]

Extremely unpleasant situation. But the subsequent response from all the parties directly concerned has been good. That includes the family, Carragher and Sky.

[dockers_strike]

 

That last sentence is telling.

You reckon ?

 

They will have new recruit by then and Jamie will be put out to grass or given one of the slots on the Stelling circus where he has to chat shite with Merson and jump out of his seat because Stoke missed a penalty

[Pureblood]

They'll judge him at the start of the season.

Tend to agree. His position is pretty much untenable as a Sky pundit. How can he objectively critique players as part of his job when he has been called out for a lack of composure in a non pressure situation.

[G Richards]

Seems a fair outcome. Suspension, and there appears a way back for next season.

[Vincent Vega]

I certainly hope he comes back, he made a mistake and it's right that Sky address that, but I think they'll want him back. He and Neville are easily their best pundits with both having a really good understanding of the game, are tactically astute (especially at the defensive side of the game) and pretty measured in what they say. He would be badly missed when you see the blandness of Redknapp, and just how utterly boring Thierry Henry is. BT have hoovered up the best of the other pundits with Stevie, Ferdinand and Lampard.

I'd have thought if he was getting sacked they'd have done it by now and not gone down the road of doing the public apology on sky news and then a heavy suspension. 

[VladimirIlyich]

I don't watch sky and hate all that analysis crap,particularly when its delivered by people who know no more than the average supporter and you pay a premium to listen to their garbage. As for Carragher,a suspension and end of season's review is a fair way of doing it compared to other people employed by the company. He's been stupid,is being punished and it will move on.

Seriously! 

 

The average fan knows fuck all - even the worse football pundit knows more than the average fan. We wouldn't employ that logic in any other industry/sector/situation - I really don't understand the logic in applying it to football. 

 

And intelligence is not demonstrated by your eloquence, academic record or business acumen. They absorb tactics and execute decisions within seconds, on the pitch. They know far more than we do.

They've just kicked the can down the road which seems to be the done thing these days, I dont think it means anything in terms of being re-instated as a pundit, How could he ever criticise players behaviour again after this incident, It may have been a momentary lapse but it will cost him his role as one of Sky's main pundits,  I don't see what he did as any better or worse than the two muppets Keys and Gray, 

[Tony Moanero]

Everyone, within reason, deserves a second chance. Wouldn’t surprise me if Sky wanted to get rid of Keys and Gray anyway. They’d had their day and things needed freshening up.
