You can take the Scouser out of Liverpool but you can’t............I think he still lives there actually.

"Suspended" until Sky can find a suitable replacement.Does "suspended" mean fired in this context? Or is he suspended temporarily?
Not defending Carragher. Just a sad state of affairs all over. A non story being blown out of proportion cause a famous face was involved.He spat at a 14 year old girl. Comeon!
Aren't we talking about someone who wound down the window to distract another driver while shoving a camera in a completely different direction to where his eyes should have been for a prolonged period?@Pagh Wraith
Haven't glanced at who's calling when crawling in traffic? Picked up your phone absent mindedly to look at the time? Maybe the alarm goes off and you need to switch it off? Even reaching for a bottle of coke or a chip is just as bad.
I had to do a driving safety course for a lorry driving job and the instructor would have told you youre not being honest with yourself if you gave an answer like that.
You may be the golden exception but you would be amazed at how many people admitted to the odd exception after giving an answer like yours.
I don't see why they'd request an interview with Sky News though, if the have no intention of trying to bring him back into the fold.That Sky interview was painful. I thought they'd keep him around but they stuck the knife in there. He's done.
Don't think he's going anywhere.
I guess that is up to his bosses. Either way, it's assault and a vile act. If I were the father I'd be going straight to the police and pressing charges regardless of any fine imposed by using the cell phone while driving. Daughter should have chucked the fathers phone at the scouse bastard but then she'd be at fault and there may not be any evidence this ever happened.World's gone mad if he gets sacked for this.
I'm not so sure, Niall. At one point he interviewer tried to put him in a position to make him say he should be fired. It doesn't seem like repairing the damage for me this, she went hard for him there.The fact that he's on Sky News talking about it and apologising indicates that Sky are going to keep him. If they wanted rid he would be nowhere near their studios. A suspension (maybe until the end of the season) to let things settle down followed by his return in the not too distant future looks to be how this will play out now.
Lampard already has a contract with BT.Shame. He was a good pundit. But you can't act like that.
They should replace him with Lamps. Lampard comes across as informed and unbiased.
Yeah, it won't be a one off for someone like Carragher though. It would happen daily. It would grind me down eventually, you see it all time time in celebs when they snap at media and general public. You can claim you'd be able to withstand the pressure but everyone breaks eventually. They're human (most of them). That's no excuse for what Carragher did, but I can at least understand why he'd react angrily. His choice of reaction was obviously fecking stupid.I would have wound up my window and ignored the guy. Especially if I was a face on Sky Sports every weekend.
Pretty much this. Yes, I may reach for a bottle of water but even that only at red lights and not while driving.Aren't we talking about someone who wound down the window to distract another driver while shoving a camera in a completely different direction to where his eyes should have been for a prolonged period?
I haven't actually watched it yetI'm not so sure, Niall. At one point he interviewer tried to put him in a position to make him say he should be fired. It doesn't seem like repairing the damage for me this, she went hard for him there.
Sky News like drumming up viewing figures like everyone else. Plus, if you want rid, what better way of facilitating that than hanging him on live TV.I don't see why they'd request an interview with Sky News though, if the have no intention of trying to bring him back into the fold.
Well you are defending him which you're perfectly entitled to do. People who work in sensitive areas (media, politics, NHS, army etc) should conduct themselves in an exceptional way on and off work. Spitting to a child is completely unacceptable especially for a man whose got quite a long experience being booed by 40k-80kNot defending Carragher. Just a sad state of affairs all over. A non story being blown out of proportion cause a famous face was involved.
"Suspended" until Sky can find a suitable replacement.
I make no bones about it. If I ever did a job that put me in the public eye, I would be very reclusive and reserved otherwise. There’s an amount of money that I’d let you spit on me for, but I’d never want to lose my privacy. I’d fecking hate to be born and grow up in the public gaze.Yeah, it won't be a one off for someone like Carragher though. It would happen daily. It would grind me down eventually, you see it all time time in celebs when they snap at media and general public. You can claim you'd be able to withstand the pressure but everyone breaks eventually. They're human (most of them). That's no excuse for what Carragher did, but I can at least understand why he'd react angrily. His choice of reaction was obviously fecking stupid.
Oh I agree, I sympathise with Carragher. But you never react like that, it's just stupid.Yeah, it won't be a one off for someone like Carragher though. It would happen daily.

He deserves all of the journos taking gleefull bites because he made the decision to spit on a 14 year old girl. Not sure why anyone with a brain would fail to understand that. It was a disgusting act. If it was Neville’ daughter that was spat on, this Tweet would be the complete opposite. Let’s actually be real here and stop trying to wrap it up into something more dignified.I agree with this. It was a mistake, he seems decent otherwise. Good on Gary to back him while journos are gleefully taking bites.
Someone said give it to Giggsy till end of season.Imagine they put Redknapp as his replacement.
What he did is stupid but don't think he should get sacked.
