Carragher sees red
CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN!
To view the link you have to Register or Login THIS is the flashpoint moment when raging Jamie Carragher lunged at taunting fans – and offered to FIGHT them. The Liverpool defender lost it over banter by eight Luton supporters wearing curly black wigs and yellow shellsuits like the bickering Scousers from ’90s comedy show Harry Enfield’s Television Programme. Like the TV characters, they urged him to “calm down” as he jogged round the pitch with teammates after Sunday’s FA Cup draw at Luton’s ground. They also hurled remarks about midfielder John Arne Riise’s ginger hair. Ex-England player Carragher first shouted at the fans, who were in a box on the terraces, from the pitch. But then he leapt up a fence to confront them. Carragher, 29, screamed obscenities and yelled: “Come on – let’s have it!” Security guards had to drag him away. Luton fan Michael Sapsford, who was in the box, said: “This is a Premiership star behaving like a thug.” Plumber Michael, 24, added: “He couldn’t cope with banter in good spirits that hundreds of other players put up with every week.” No complaint was made after the game – attended by new England boss Fabio Capello. But a Luton FC spokesman said: “There was a problem being investigated by our safety officer.”

He's such a tit. I remember when he phoned up Adrian Durham on talksport a few months ago, over Durham's claims that he was a bottler for retiring from the England team.
He spent the next ten minutes whining like some spoilt child and sounding like he was about to burst into tears. |

I can't stand that Scouse twat. One of the most overrated players to ever grace the Premiership. Heaven knows how he got 1 England cap let alone 30-odd.

what is it with players from red and white teams jumping into crowds?
I used to have a lot of time for JC but he's turning into a bit of a knob

Because he is probably the best English defender around! Absolute travesty he wasn't given starting place, better then Terry and Ferdinand by a country mile!

No excuse for this, but I do love how the instigators of these things always come out and say it was "good natured banter", when I expect that they are just as "thuggish" as the fence-climbing player. |

I am sorry to say that being a professional sportsman is more than just being good at your game. One also has to remember that there are kids watching almost every move you make, either at work or outside of it, and you should, if you are indeed a professional, be good at that too. Climbing up walls and shouting "Come on then, let's have it" to your paying public, is hardly the behaviour of a priviledged, highly paid pro.

this line "Plumber Michael, 24, added: “He couldn’t cope with banter in good spirits that hundreds of other players put up with every week.” sums it up.
While I don't and will never agree with what carragher, did twats like this think they have a right to say what they like to someone becuase they are a footballer on a pitch and shrug it off as "light hearted banter". the mentality has to change. I find it highly unlikely that the "banter" was confined to a few shouts of "calm down" , which lets face it stopped being even remotely funny or witty about 10 years ago. |

The game was over, his team were warming down. The time for banter had passed. He has something thrown at him, he didn't dive him with his boots up (ala *****na) he jumped up and offered them out, at which case the mugs melted. Fair play to JC i say.

So it's ok for those same kids to watch adults acting like idiots? Would it have been acceptable had they been wearing affro wigs & the player was non white. The players reaction is not acceptable, neither was the childish behavior of the fans, Luton do not need this type of publicity at the moment, if ever.(I don't even know why Luton allowed these fans to be dressed the way they were)

In all seriousness, unless things have changed since I did it, the policy was to use a "Bermuda Triangle" strategy. More often than not, the "rowdy" element have enjoyed more than a couple of beverages during the course of the day, so rather than wade into a potentially hostile situation (and duly making it worse), the policy was to wait for them to go to the loos and nab them there. It's surprisingly effective. (Although, the chaps involved in this incident specifically stayed behind after the match to have a pop. Generally speaking, the stewards wouldn't necessarily be on active watch at that time.) |
