Thought Carragher had no brains in putting his Sky gig in jeopardy, but Lingard just split from Jena Frumes in bigger news.
Some people just don't know how good they have it.

Maybe not but it's happened now and the Dad still used the phone and it's dangerous thing to do and he should rightfully be punished for it. Equally if Carragher just ignored him and drove off I doubt the video would get any traction at all so the reality is we wouldn't know it happened. As it were Carragher spat...that makes him a dick and sent the video viral...the Dad is using his phone whilst driving (and apparently on a motorway as well) which is stupid and dangerous to not just himself but his daughter in the car and other road users. He should rightfully be looked on as a dick whether 99% of RedCafe drive on their phone or not.
This. The dad is a complete tool. To ignore your daughter when she asks him to stop essentially ends up in her getting spat on. Holding his phone whilst driving too. Dad of the year right there.
Both of them (Carragher and dad) are in the wrong for every different reasons.
Richard Keys has suggested the equally accurate headline “Carragher’s DNA found on 14 year old girl”
Shouldn’t he get a suspension, then?
Just shows what an absolute scumbag of a human he is. Saying that, I was just starting to appreciate him as a pundit.
He shouldn’t be surprised to have been caught on film given that Sky have insisted on filming every single thing to have come out of he and Gary Neville’s mouths in the last few years.
Okay. But I’m just wondering why you think he should be sacked for something that you say footballers would be suspended for?
Stupid tit showing his true self.Fixed.
The irony of raising the sacking of Keys and Gray to suggest Carragher’s position with Sky is untenable is not lost on me. The first tried to defend their actions as banter, the latter has now reacted to what people want to defend as banter.
Hilarious how people are claiming the dad to be some sort of evil role model for his daughter because he had his phone out while driving, yet I guarantee each and everyone of you have been guilty of this very same "crime". I know I have on numerious occasions. Get off your high horses.
Plus how often do you get the opportunity to give Jamie Carragher some banter? He only said "2-1 Jamie unlucky lad", that hardly warrants spitting on a 14 year old girl. I'm sure if the dad had any idea that Jamie would react in such a vile manner, he wouldn't have said anything at all.
Carra is at fault here and he openly admits that fact (even if he does attempt to excuse himself with made-up lies)
Don't really blame the dad at all, yeah childish of him, but I don't think he expected in a million years that would happen, why would you? Absolutely pathetic from Carragher.
Serious question: would you rather watch less insightful analysts who are whiter than white or better ones who have had a transgression or two in life (and relatively minors one at that)? Ditto with having a team comprised of the best players available, including Cantona who reacted to BANTA with a kick, or a team that has a whiter-than-white but thoroughly mediocre number 10?
Rivalries with his club aside, he's got to get sacked for that. Why the hell would he spit like that? Why not just settle for a simple "Eff off"?
It is a shame, as far worse ex-Liverpool will no doubt get his airtime. JC was a decent pundit, which I know isn't hard as punditry is basically just an ex-players pension system!

To be fair there have been a lot of pro-Carragher comments on here praising his punditry and saying they hope he keeps his job - and that the driver is an idiot too.
Put the boot on the RAWK foot if this had been Neville, do you really think one single person on there would have stuck up for him?
Agree with all that.
The father didn’t know carra was going to spit like that, who would? And he’s just playing the embarrassing father to the girl, she doesn’t sound like she’s fearing for her life (as some are making out)
The only thing that shocked me about the father was that he was not livid once his daughter had been spat at. Spitting is not a normal reaction to anything!!!
Thought about it and don't think he should be sacked if the family accepts his apology, I think he should do something nice for the girl he spat on like give her some cash. Sky should give him a bollocking and put him on a final warning.
What a fecking scumbag.
Amusing that apparently we now cant beat Liverpool without there being some kind of mini collective meltdown from the Liverpool biased section of the televised media. This is a particular highlight though
I reckon they must have all convinced themselves they were going to turn up and win 4-0 or something. Based on what other than their own overhyping of their own team though, I'm not sure.
Calling for him to be sacked is a bit OTT. If he was useless maybe. He's one of the few who isn't. It should be possible to somehow hold Souness and Redknapp responsible for the incident.
In fairness, I suspect a majority of people criticising the dad, can do so from a position of never having driven along whilst on their phone filming themselves goading the driver in the car next to them. Also safe to say that anyone who can say they have done this is a bit of a bellend.
It's not the sort of thing a normal (non stupid) person would do.

Speak for yourself.
The girl must have been gobsmacked.
Souness will blame Pogba's hair
No, I haven't. People like you should be banned from driving.
Surprised Mourinho's tactics haven't been blamed yet.
Final warning so he can learn that spitting at children is not acceptable? Christ!
Lost his job as commentator for MTG Nordic because of the spitting. He is not wanted as an expert commentator for the CL games on Nordic tv channels.
Is it because I just woke up, or is that actually big Sam? Please tell me that's big Sam!
Anyway as far as I'm concerned Carragher should be suspended by Sky for a couple of months. Banning him until the end of the season fits in nicely with the time frame of the season.
Also, this is why I fecking hate the internet:
Okay. First of all, using a mobile phone whilst driving is stupid. That isn't debatable and he's a naughty boy. Maybe that could be discussed in another thread, it's not relevent here at all. Neither is your opinion of whether this guy is a good father or person, I've not seen anything here to make a definitive call.
The goading of Carragher is mild to say the least. He will have experienced much worse throughout his career and it's the inevitable price you pay for having the best job in the world for which you are rewarded handsomely. From Fergie being punched in the balls to Gary Neville having his car tipped over at some red lights, it's part and parcel of being part of the game.
In this case, the 'abuse' isn't even an issue. Shouting "2-1" at someone isn't offensive. At all. You're in a Range Rover with an incredible sound system and windows, this is easy to ignore. Having a short fuse is one thing, spitting at a 14-year old girl is another. This is very bad. The goading here does not equal the reaction. He's a professional and knows better. Whatever happens, he can have no complaints.

Which raises the question - how much cash would it take for accepting a spit in your face?
I wish it was a lot more than I'm thinking, to be honest.

BS.
Whilst the dad was obviously wrong but some people are kinda equating his act with Carragher which is wrong. What Carragher did was an act of a scumbag, the dad was irresponsible but any equivalency to spitting or drunk driving are stupid.
Whatever the girl and family thinks is acceptable. Just don't see the need to go overboard with punishment, it was the girl he wronged and only the girl. A lot of people act like he spat on them too.
I think most people are happy to take a pay-off for such minor offenses (in terms of damage caused). Marcos Alonso even got away with killing someone drink-driving because the family accepted whatever it was he paid them.

No, I agree. I'm genuinely asking the question and I want numbers.
Yes I agree what Jamie did was terrible, but that dad put his daughter's welfare at risk by driving along goading a pundit and filming it at the same time, then surprise it appears in the tabloids. He is a scumbag, who likely thinks he is now the dogs bollocks for potentially getting Carragher the sack. Jamie should have just drove on and ignored him.
Yeah mate but how much would you take? Obviously you'd ask for more but what's your minimum?
