The former England and Liverpool defender told ITV News that he would be "as angry as anyone could possibly be" if someone spat at his own daughter.

You’d think he just committed first degree murder. I don’t condone his actions but as he said, a moment of rage and he snapped which he shouldn’t have. Honestly don’t get why this is blown out of proportion. You see people doing far worse and keeping their jobs. Sky already employ people who have done drink driving and drugs which is on a greater scale than spitting. It was petulant, disgusting and uncalled for but it was a moment of stupidity which he will learn from. Those asking for him to lose his job etc need to get a grip. People are obsessed with someone losing their job over incidents. Every human being makes mistakes.
93football4life Ehh? I'm not PC at all but he spat at a 14 year old girl.
@@Scallion_Dim pretty sure he was spitting at the guy behind the camera
Apparently 16 women have come forward to say that they too have been spat at by Jamie Carragher!
Richard Bliss From a man called Dick Bliss? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Richard Bliss ... you’re lying.
Hinton Bliss?
Donald trump style
Richard Bliss 🤣🤣🤣
Why don’t the police penalise the driver for using his mobile whilst driving..
Because the kid was holding it
Jay Herring - except for the fact that she wasn’t
They should also penalise carra for not wearing his seatbelt
Normal behaviour of an adult from that part of the world to gob on little girls eh John?
Mark Vince it’s the law...
Diouf must be pissing himself right now
LegitUser he should wear nappies then
LegitUser ... 😂😂😂😂😂
yeah well Diouf is in a cave somewhere doing stuff no one cares about
Jaime is too important to sky, him & Neville are the 2 best pundits on tv
sure
He's not sorry, he's just gutted that he got caught and it's gone public. Big difference. He's not killed anyone, but at 40 years of age you'd expect he'd know better. Spitting at anyone is just plain disgusting, especially on the road in a moving vehicle. The other guy also isn't free from blame, but it just seemed like typical football banter it has to be said. In any other job he'd be sacked for this. Sometimes in life actions have consequences. His position at Sky Sports is now just untenable. I just can't forget that kind of behaviour. It's so vulgar.
OneDigitalSoul Sorry Professional psychologist/mind reader. Didn't know you knew why he apologised from watching a video in your home
The lads over at Bein Sports will have him.
on twice the money!!
warren duffy they’ll use him as a Rugby pundit or Championship
Yeah but it's all the way out in Qatar, would he want to relocate tho ?
loooool
Jaime is too important to sky, him & Neville are the 2 best pundits on tv
brendon Rodgers would say that Carra has shown great character here.
TheBudgMiester even more character by not being on mnf , when Rodgers was on
Of course. He's also a beautiful human being
He'll be on This Morning next explaining to Holly and Phil 😂
after he spat at him he should have said "Two all!" lol that would have least been funny
to you. maybe !
john D only racist dickheads come out with that "what about a Muslim or a black guy" when a white person does something wrong
TAFF NESS, how right you are, that`s why I never gave a reply,
no doubt he is just a juvenile ignorant teenager, if he had a brain
he would be dangerous !!
john D But the muslims are the ones that get attacked you clown
paul gascoine showed up at sly sports last night with some chicken a fishing rod & 4 cans of newcy claiming to know jamie carragher
His Fifa icons card will feature:
99: SPI
Nez Mustafa iii
Lol
Nez Mustafa .... PMSL..... 😂😂😂😂
You can take the Scouse out of Liverpool but you can't take Liverpool out of the Scouse.
You are sorry you got caught.
Laughable that the same people who were calling for Gray and Keys to be sacked after saying women don’t know the offside rule are saying this idiot deserves a second chance for spitting at a 14 year old girl. Unbelievable
When I heard about this I thought about what my own instinctive reaction might be if I lost my temper behind the wheel - I might shout, swear, make hand gestures or toot the horn at someone but I've never in my life spat at someone and that makes me believe spitting isn't completely out of character for Jamie Carragher...
How to destroy your footballing legacy in 5 seconds....
Buckblacket Not really. He's probably gonna get the Southampton job
He should be given a 2nd chance. No one is perfect and he seems very remorseful
Kevin Herron has he got a choice? He is grovelling because he was caught, if it wasn’t on camera he wouldn’t have got hold of the family if he could to apologise
Kevin Herron . Agree. Let him resume his tv career. Maybe sometime in 2030.
A Scot would say that, spittings also second nature to your lot.
Spitting is the most disrespectful thing you can do to a person imo. He would've been better off swearing at the girl.
how about the man driving with his phone out thats dangerous and disrespectful to everyone else on the road
@@jayday4795 I'd say that's moreso dangerous, not so much disrespectful
I bet that family will be given Free Sky Sports for life and a season ticket for Manchester United. lol.
Maverick Musique he sounded like he was scouse so he was probably an evertonian
Maverick Musique that would be a nice treat
Uwais Bangi - They were Manchester United fans apparently. They be landed if they get that Lee. Carragher could spit in my face for that. lol.
😂😂
lucky mofuckers
How about the driver endangering his daughter by using his phone while driving ?! Carra made a stupid mistake but the real dummy was behind the video camera.
Absolutely!!
In light of something this disgusting all you can think of is why the driver wasnt looked at for driving and recording. I hope you're not a liverpool fan.
David Johnson Great example to set your daughter. Follow a pundits car and shout abuse at him and then open your car window and the footballer tries to spit on you but it ends up on your daughter. Well done dad and carra
KayTH-cam abuse? I didnt hear him swearing, or calling him names. All he did was made a reference to the game that liverpool lost. You so mad and childish that you let your anger get the best of you that you spat on someone? If anyone was being abusive it's Jamie.
Endangered? Come on now lol. Wonder how much this dummy made when he sold it to the mail?....
Looks like carragher’s next TV appearance will be on CBB
and yours in the morgue
Spitting came a bit too naturally to him, obviously not the first time he has done it; I don't think he should lose his job though as foul as it was.
I hope you were a gentleman and tipped her John
He has to go unless sky have got some serious double standards....for me this is far worse than saying something about a woman off camera! Women do that all the time on their chat shows but no one gives one.
This is vile behaviour, only a certain breed of person spits and its not one who should be on tv
exactly if we spat at someone outside of work i doubt we would get sacked for it, plus i was mad after the liverpool game ref was up their arse so much
You are right I mean I've been annoyed at people/had arguments with people before and my first reaction isn't to start storing my spit getting ready to spit at them
To naturally? Hahahah come on man seriously, obviously his behaviour and his actions were disgusting and i would never defend that. But ffs every grown man can spit in a "natural way" as you might call it
The volume is soo low on this interview. We can hardly hear the interviewer asking questions.
"Is spitting something that comes to the forefront of your mind when you're in a rage? Is that something you usually do?"
Lol the interviewer is trying to goad him into getting angry and spitting again.
for christ sake scouse quit ,wait six months then rebuild your career all will be forgiven.
His position on Sky Sports is pretty much untenable now really. How can he ever condemn any player for misbehaving again ? Imagine Mourinho in an interview after a game where Carragher has criticised his players. Lol. Jose would have an absolute field day. Carragher simply is not a position to do his job with Sky properly after this. Richard Keys and Andy Gray were turfed for a lot less in my eyes. No doubt Cara will be back soon though. Sky have already been doing clever PR by giving him a roasting on Sky News and giving Gary Neville the backing to tweet that 'it shouldn't stop them working together' and 'sure he'll be back soon and rightly so'. Spitting at someone equals bottom of the barrel. To say that you lost it for a few seconds isn't an excuse. There is something inherently wrong with a person's character if taking THAT action is what comes to mind when 'losing it'. Shame really, I like Cara as a pundit.
He said Frank Rijkard was his idol growing up
He's finished. It's over. My advice is get down the job centre, see what's on offer. TESCO are always on the look out for night staff, replenishing the shelves.
Don't belittle shelf stackers, at least they're out there doing something (and presumably not spitting at people).
Yeah im sure he's broke after earning 100k a year for half of his life.
a year? More than that.Let's assume he was only on £25,000 a week during his playing days that's £1000,000 a month! Safe to say he doesn't need to ever worry about money
He doesn’t have to work another day of his life, he’s got more money than you’d ever see if you had 100 lifetimes
He's 40 now and a multi-millionaire I doubt he needs a job, he's set for life.
I was in the car behind and can confirm it wasnt actually Jamie Carragher but the guy looked like his spitting image
How many times did he say ‘hopefully’
What's happening to the man driving while on his phone? They should both be publicly shown up
The problem is, as a pundit, his job often involves criticising the behaviour of footballers on the pitch. It's gonna sound weird him saying "it's a disgrace" etc. when a player shouts at the ref or something.
How unfortunate that the "only time" he has ever spit at someone it was caught on camera...
The father seemed to think it was a bit of a joke sounded as if he could not wait to tell his mates.
This is a man that went in hard with tackles in a TH-cam charity match. This is part of his character.
When the interviewer said "you've been suspended from your job..." Carragher's eyes awoke in shock. He is clearly scared of losing his job.
I think rather than calling the family over the phone. He should have apologised face to face
I often have altercations in the road and then I have to phone them in the evening and say sorry. When will I learn ?
Have to say the first time I heard and read about this I wanted him sacked and hated him for doing what he done. But after listening to that I really have changed my opinion on it. He made a massive mistake and regrets it completely, he sounds very honestly sorry for his actions...
HE SEEMS SO SPEECHLESS FOR SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED 3 DAYS AGO
Diouf 2.0. Needs to be sacked if they sacked guys for banter they should sack him
Why’s all the news companies focusing on this when there’s more important things going on in the world
Can I get subtitles?
Is no one aware that the driver recorded illegally cuz in uk u cant drive and go on ur phone
Anyone else gutted we will never see him and Gary Neville dissing each other on MNF ever again
He was bias as a pundit anyway , calling Arsenal cowards yet silent about lfc mediocrity for years
AbuYahyah23 mate he's an excellent pundit, I'm an Arsenal and he's right we are cowards, he roasts Liverpool all the time
He destroys liverpool. He even said liverpool were becoming tottenham when rodgers got sacked
Lol wtf, he absolutely goes to town on liverpool! Infact since klopp put his bf neville in his place carra has hardly said a positive word!
He questions all teams performances on a match basis and season basis however the venom and anger he shows when Arsenal are poor he does not show with his beloved Liverpool. Sadly , Questioning commitment and desire from AFC players I agree with but let's have this judgement across the board.
I only watch for Carra and Neville. If Sky get rid of him, they are muppets
Lets be honest we are missing the fact that it took great skill from Carragher to hit the target, with both cars travelling at some speed and several feet between the 2 vehicles
How did I miss the spitting incident ? As a Liverpool fan I am disgusted that he should lose his self control like that. Legacy forever tarnished, he should have resigned from SKY.
The only reason MNF is interesting is because of him and neville. Sacking him is sacking the best or atleast 2nd best pundit possibly in football atm. A mistake is a mistake but tbh, sacking carra won't harm anyone except us the viewers. He'll find another job either in football or abroad and we'll be stuck with Gary neville
Frank Lampard came on the pundit scene after Carra, he'll be the replacement. He's basically tailor made for Sky.
don14vito
Thinking the same thing but is Lampard contracted to BT?
I'm not sure what the deal is there, because he seems to appear rarely compared to the others. Plus he did MOTD this week, so I'm guessing he's open to doing more.
don14vito Lampard isn't carra. No banter not funny l. Very stale him and Gerrard are the same
don14vito
My only criticism of Lampard would be he talks too much sense. A pundit with a couple of flaws up his sleeve makes for an entertaining watch.
He won't be sacked as he would just go and work for BT. I'm a Liverpool fan but think he needs punished. If the person installing your sky dish did this they would be sacked. Both employees of Sky so should be no difference.
Gary Neville at home gasping with laughter...
they should have him analyse it on the touch screen
He's on £1m a year and couldn't just keep his window down and drive on ...wow
We all make mistakes, i forgave him ( i am a Man Utd fan ).
SPQRapid I'll never hate him he scored some great goals for us
The guy made a mistake He should not lose His job. Nobody is saying anything the bad driving of the father I notice.
Give him a second chance he deserves it after all he’s done for football on and off the pitch
When you are behind a wheel rage is amplified...Ive done things in road rage what i wouldnt do normally...
If you placed every copy of Peril at End House sold in the US, one on top of the other, it would reach the moon.
It was the father of the teenage girl who brought it to the attention of the media, to claim compo... It's him who showed it to the world
The fact that he hasn't resigned shows exactly how remorseful he actually is. I know he's not the brightest but surely even he knows that if he doesn't resign the axe will have to fall.
No company in any walk of life can keep on a member of staff who has spat in the face of a 14 year old girl especially as there was no real provocation, purely the kind of banter which is nowhere near as bad as most footballers and ex footballers have to deal with daily!!!
Be a man Jamie and walk. You're just making it harder on yourself and everyone who follows Liverpool FC as they are making themselves look even sillier by trying to defend the undefendable!!!
If he does get sacked (which he shouldn’t) the NBCSN ppl here in the states will gladly take him they need better pundits
Oh COME ON. He is scouse, so something like this was bound to happen. Give the man a chance to be humble, please end this witch hunt.
Driver should get 6 points on his licence for distracting another driver and putting his daughters life at risk
Lol. Shows the class of the man when his first instinct is to spit at someone. Got found out son!
Devastated he might loose is big fat sky contact spitting at a child is. The lowest of lows
Carra can't run from this or control this. And he's not. Just has to let the chips fall where they may and hope he doesn't get the Weinstein/Spacey treatment, cuz he's not those assholes. We'll see what happens. Bad mistake Jamie.
Carragher has now fully retracted his apology. He was just clearing his throat and it was just unfortunate timing that the car was passing alongside him.
Typical media dragging this out at the time... You would think he literally murdered someone... PATHETIC
Whilst on patrol in the late 70s in Belfast, my mate was spat upon in the face. Infectious abcess's began to grow upon the skin and made a right mess that took a long time to clear. I harbour a very despicable view of anyone that spits in someone's face.
Don’t get me wrong like carra and can understand lashing out in the heat of the moment..... BUT SPITING is not just disrespectful it’s disgusting and degrading. I honestly think this is sackable.
It's always comical when celebrities say that an incident they partook in was out of character. No mate, that was you. That part of you was always in you and always will be, the same for all mankind.
This is the guy who admits he gave serious consideration to allowing his mates beat up Lucas Neill in an Arndale Centre just because Neill injured him.
His remorse is faker than Klopps new teeth.
I don’t even know why he agreed to go on the news for this rubbish, it’s only making the situation worse
As a red I’ve had countless ribbings off United fans over the years and never spat at anyone,what did he even wind his window down for, if he keeps his job then it sends a message that spitting is ok as long as you apologise afterwards
good grief you’d think he’d killed someone. i condone his actions.
john D yes exactly, i wonder if the family are just looking for a compensation payout.
What if the driver followed him and beat him up? If that was my Lil girl he will be doing that interview in hospital
Taff Ness violence is not the answer my friend
john D WTF😂. Could've also been one of those white football hooligans killing people for not supporting spurs of West ham
The dad is looking for compensation payout. U can here it in his voice when he said nice. Cared more about that then his daughter being spat on.
Its the same as Cantona kicking that thug. He was not sacked by Man Utd
Imagine if there was no video footage of the incident and the father went to press - no doubt Carragher would have denied it. The real JC was shown in those couple of seconds, reminiscent of all those dirty tackles he used to make. No class.
The road is also no place to goad someone, too many accidents are caused by carelessness. This reflects badly on both parties involved.
If you can spit on someone , it shows you what you are.
This just shows the hatred that comes out of Liverpool vs Manchester from the small guys at the bottom to these superstars at the top. Think he should quit and then look for something that's not in the media
To spit is absolute disgusting, anybody with a decent upbringing are taught never to spit, its disgusting and should never be tolerated, spitting on a 14 yr old girl is absoloutley disgusting i certainly wont watch him again.
At age of 40 you spat on someone because you lose your temper, I feel sorry for his wife. Disgusting 💩
Why the 10min interview chill out
Sacking him would be similar to sacking Clarkson from Top Gear , him and Gary Neville are what make MNF, it’s bad what he’s done just seen red mist don’t think he should lose his job. You can’t do anything nowadays anyway so he doesent have much of a leg to stand on.
Expect nothing less from scouse, to be honest he probably thought he'd been caught stealing whatever he had in his car
I think the common consensus is that he is a good pundit; and overall, people want him to keep his job. Whether or not a two week suspension is a proportionate punishment is another debate entirely.
Using mobile while driving - 6 points and a fine
Driving without care and attention - 3/6 points
Driving ban or you’ve just doubled your insurance mate
Carragher: think of right thing to say (scripted bullshit)
Reporter: please take more rope
He'll be Liverpoo U17s coach. Teaching diving spitting and not getting sent off as last man fouling some one going through on goal and missing penalties by the end of the week.
He's done wrong he's held his hand up and apologised!! There's people that have done far worse things, give him a break everyone has done things in the heat of the moment and then wished they could turn the clock back!! He's said sorry now move on.
As a Manchester united fan i can understand why he reacted he's an ex Liverpool player. Heat of the moment he fucked up. We all do let him move on he doesn't deserve bad press. He's a good pundit with Gary Neville accept his apology and move on.
I can’t believe he hit her,he couldn’t pass water when he played, only player I know that could trap a ball 40 yard....
He is not sorry at all, just making sound bites to save his job. Im suprised the family never pressed charges against him.
Unacceptable behaviour from Jamie. He overstepped the mark massively. But lets not forget the careless driver dad who put his daughter's life in danger just to get a few likes on Facebook. To me thats even more pathetic. Jamie Carragher seems like a good bloke and I really like him as a pundit. We all get in terrible moods when our team loses and sometimes can't control the anger. He has apologised profusely and I believe that he is sorry. He doesn't deserve to lose his job. People need to get over it now. United fan
And that's why before you do something, you think! Just imagine that all of this could never have happened and he would not have needed to explain himself hoping this story disappears from the headlines any time soon. If only he had flipped them off or had done something NORMAL people do when confronted by cheeky banter or better yet, just ignore it. Silly thing, yes, but silly things can get people in jail. If you overreact, you can get into trouble. Spitting will never be excused in this case. If your *natural reaction* to this sort of thing is to roll down your window and share your saliva, abusing a child in the process, you need to get removed from the TV. There are plenty of crazy motherfuckers out there on the streets, no need to have one on the screen as well.
Sack Carragher.
Does this make john terry look like an angel now 😂😂😂
I would not call a member of the public shouting out a score line an intense argument/altercation...Cmon Jamie. In workplaces between Manchester and Liverpool banter would have been thrown around but there wouldn’t be any spitting. It was an unholy act by a person who is blessed with an extremely privileged lifestyle and he should know better. Sky must let him go...end of
The real person who put tue daughter at risk was the father. Driving on a motorway whilst filming and looking across constantly to his left. Could have caused someone to die.
jesus he's only spat as disgusting as it is it's been made out as if he killed someone personally apologised to the family we all make mistakes this gone way too far this is dark side of social media today stuff get blown way out of proportion
I turn over when this man is on. Unforgivable and Sky should have sacked him. “Moment of madness” what BS you don’t just do this it is because you think you are above others and should no longer be on Sky sports.
If everybody had some past incident caught on camera we would all be guilty of a stupid action and would have to explain.
We shouldn't cast stones so easy!
