Is Kate cheating on her man? Why would Carragher say that otherwise? Very disappointing from her. She seemed cool.
Going to get fired for that and no-one will miss that odious twat.
Happy if you could share one example of this level of idiocy.
Wow, that was awkward.
Doubt it. They say stupid things all the time.
Of course not. Just Carragher thinking he's funny.
What a fecking weirdo, imagine her fiancé watching this.
He’s like the uncle who pressures everyone into laughing at their jokes.
Not convinced that's racist to be fair.
Edit : thought you were talking about what he said to Richards.

It's obviously made a co-worker VERY uncomfortable and is pushing past the boundaries of workplace 'banter'. They say and do silly stuff all the time but this is straight up zero filter stupidity from Carragher. Off with his head.
What's racism got to do with this
Bit weird you go straight to blaming her before realising Carragher was thinking he was a top lad and would get more laughs then had an awkward panic when he noticed he didn't. He's the type of bloke to call someone gay in the pub for wearing a pink shirt then gets grumpy when nobody laughs.
To be fair he's a Scouser. All Scousers think they're absolutely hilarious at all times.
He basically insinuated she cheated on her fiance. That isn’t the normal banter and you can tell that from their expressions.
He’s a knob. We all know he’s a knob because he behaves like a knob.
But he’s a knob that gets views for Sky/TNT etc so he’ll continue to be allowed to be a knob.
Money > Being a knob

With the spitting and now this, I’m starting to think Carragher might be a bit of an idiot. Will need more evidence to make a final conclusion.
There's banter and then there's calling someone an adulterer on live tv as a joke. If you can't see the line there's a problem.
It's annoying as he's actually a good pundit but he gets carried away far too easily
This is Carraghers problem he talks too much, nothing about that was funny.
That is how they have been talking to eachother pretty much all the time. Give and take. I would say Richards have been the one who have been on recieving side most. Who are we to tell where red line is for what is ok or not if you consider how they have been talking to eachother?
He crossed the line, you don’t say something like that on live TV.
Bizarre take. You don’t insinuate someone else is cheating on live TV, while having a football discussion. Just look at their reactions.
He's an idiot, I'd imagine some truth in it and may involve one of his co pundits, you just don't do that though. I wouldn't be surprised if other pundits told their bosses they aren't happy with him, there is a banter line and he's gone pretty much as far as you can over it.
No it isn't. Do you not understand what Charrager said? That is not normal banter.
Also Abdos reaction made it pretty clear that what Charrager said was not on, live on TV. Can imagine he got a bollocking from the producers. Just look at Henry and Richards immediate reaction when Charrager said that too.
He spat at a child and managed to keep his job. I don't think this "banter" will get him sacked.
That is not for us to decide. If they talk to eachother like that in the studio why should we decide. She was surprised by that comment from Carragher but we know they have been joking a lot in their show.
She did react very surprised. Just laugh it off and go on and say something back. Like they have been doing previously.
She reacted quite pissed off, Richards and Henry were visibly shocked and silenced by that line. It's clearly not banter.
Saying "that's not for us to decide" is a ridiculously daft argument. We are the audience, the product is for us. If we clip on to something that's deemed a red flag then they get in trouble. They can have all the banter with no lines behind the camera all they like, but in front of the camera there's certain things you just don't say
Besides, the video very clearly shows no one took that as banter.
What should she reply back with? "Why don't you go spit on a child?" or "Well you also cheat on your missus, so there!".
It was an extremely inappropriate comment for Carragher to make. Don't see how anyone can disagree with that.
Also it should go without saying but 'banter' isn't an excuse for inappropriate work place behaviour. He won't get sacked but sure he'll get a bollocking.
Spot on. Richards’ reaction is telling. Even though this was on a US network it should also be a massive wake up call for Sky who fired Gray and Keys for derogatory comments about a female staff member that were leaked not on live coverage.
The hell you on about?
Yeah, possibly to create as little fuss as possible about the whole thing. I imagine he's going to start getting sidelined pretty quickly now.
Seems to think cheating jokes on your colleague live on tv are fair game.
Maybe it is for Carragher. People react differently to different things and have different humour.
That is up to her. Just answer with some funny comment back. What is inappropriate for someone don't need to be for another. If Carragher thinks it is ok with those jokes so be it. Like I said, they have been joking around every time they were on tv. For example Richards have been taking it and laughing it off every time they were at him.
What? That's an absolute insane line of thinking?
So if Carragher thinks a racist joke is okay then so be it? We all have to go along with it?
I'm not sure how much of them you have been watching but this has never been part of the banter.
Aren't half the jokes they make about how Henry fancies Abdo? (I don't watch it unless I am diligently reporting illegal streams) He's partnered up.
Problem with banter, everyone's limit is different so you need to be very careful.

I think we're watching a brain entirely bred on twitter and the interweb in action here.
