Yep. 'City' rhymes with 'spitty' and that's the only legal argument I need.

Agree with most of that. If SSN wanted to take the moral high ground, worried about brand reputation, they'd have sacked him immediately. They dropped that lesser pundit who made the holocaust comment like a hot brick.
They acted quickly with the apology on Sky News, not going easy on him.
I reckon he'll be suspended for the rest of tbe season, giving him a few months away from the screen, and put on an anger management course.
Thing is, he'll probably be goaded more than ever now.
People have said that he would have been better off telling the bloke to feck off. I happen to agree with them. Using profanities is not the same as resorting to a physical attack(which spitting is seen as). If he had just swore back at him nothing would have been made of it.
Managed by Flob Paisley
Having reacted the way he did, to that level of goading, hopefully he’ll get some counselling/therapy as he’s likely to receive a lot more and far worse goading than that in future now.
Fixed.
If there's a complainant, it would be an open and shut case. As it is, an apology seems to have been accepted and the matter settled amicably. Nothing mad about that.
Are we sure he's not just angling for a gig as an ambassador for Qatar?
I swear if he had kicked the girl in the mouth after headbutting the father people would have been more forgiving. What is it with the British and spitting?
Sky are so lame, just replace him for tonight and do the show as normal, pretty pathetic really.
When are you getting your show
?It is quite funny how Sky are making a point out of this, but on the other hand they repeatedly gave screen time to Rooney, Giggs, Gerrard, Lampard etc. all of whom did some questionable shit at some point of their career.
It's the absolute lowest of the low, scummy, vile, cowardly, you just don't do it.
Having said that I hope he keeps his job.
"Bruce Flobber, la" .... after the team name, that's my favourite.
Precisely.
It's not as bad.
He's a dickhead - but I don't know what constitutes a reasonable punishment tbh.
Do people want the guy to never work again?
Is an apology, suspension and some kind of charity donation should be enough?
He's humiliated himself and that's something he has to live with.
I don't want to revel in this but I like to think that somewhere in the world this made Nani happy.

After Carra is sacked, mate.When are you getting your show
Nah we saw Gary but he was sat on the gantry and wasn't saying much.
For feck sake @SteveJ thats amazing.
"We don't have our pundit who's a figure closely associated with Liverpool but who never won the Premier League title in the end, so here's Brendan!"
No condoning what he did but the 'dad' came across like a real prick. If he left him alone nothing would have happened in the first place. I hope he doesn't get sacked to be honest.
I'm sure we've all been in situations before, where we acted out aggressively and ended up regretting our actions.

Scummy bastard.
That Sky interview is hilariously OTT though. If I were him I'd be furious with Sky for that.

Is it relevant if the spit hits the intended target or is spitting in the direction of someone just as bad? Is it the danger of actually catching a disease from the low life spitter or is it the symbolic act of hurtling your body fluids towards a rival that provokes so much?
Slightly different spitting in a police officers face surely
Having said I thought he’d be sacked earlier, i now think he’s probably going to keep his job. The interview earlier feels like damage limitation, as does Neville’s tweet. Maybe suspended for the rest of the season with some anger management training. Would seem a fair outcome.
The person in question was currently serving a suspended sentence as well.
Yeah, it looks like a public show of 'not going easy on him' by Sky.
Hitting by said spit is obviously always going to be worse, for me the thought of been hit by someones spit, especially in the face fills me with revolt, even though I know I probably won't catch anything, i'd far rather be punched, or kicked.
Nobody thinks he should never walk again. He's suspended, he'll be back in some form, but maybe not on Sky.
As far as pundits go it's a shame, but you need to control yourself in those kind of situations.
That doesn't mean that dad isn't a stupid prick, which he is.
Any mention about it on MNF or have they ignored the situation?
In law it is. It's is only assault if you intent to spit on someone. The anger in his face when he spat has me believing that he meant to hit somebody.
He was definitely trying to hit the car/ the open window. Then again I imagine spitting from one moving car to another is difficult.
Oh well, i guess the most likely outcome is that he withdraws from TV voluntarily.
How fast were they going ?
The reason I ask is everytime Ive spat out of a fast moving car it's either dribbled down my chin or got blown back in or ended up on the window of the side door.

That'd be a bit extreme alright.
To the first paragraph.
You can't really say that and say its 100% truth. I've been rude to people in public when they've done my head in and regretted it almost instantly . I do get your point though but you can't say it is fact.
