Carra the clown to get the push?

[Jebus_lives]

Yeah, but he wasn't sacked was he?

Because he's a big time celebrity

They live by different rules than we do

How anyone is shocked that Carra is still in a job is beyond me. A regular plebian gobs on a kid and it's curtains. Celebrity footballing pundit does it and he's given a paid vacation for a few months whilst it all blows over

It's an absolute pisser, but that's the world we live in

No but as I said before, it relates to what his contract says about his conduct.

If his job was 'everton coach driver' I'm pretty sure he would be sacked for drink driving.

If there is not sufficient grounds to terminate his contract then Everton aren't going to do it because of potential challenge. Either way the decision would rest with them whether they considered it 'sackable' offence.

But yes, I take the point about celebrity privilege.

Thing is though Mikey I didnt see anybody condoning it,blaming the woman he was with or threatening behaviour toward anybody involved,the fact that as a fan base nothing is said,no action taken just gives them more fuel to their fire of rightious justice

I can't be arsed traipsing through the thread, but I'm sure there were people defending him

That wasn't my point though

I was just taking issue with Toast's point that if Rooney had done the same thing then the results would be different

They really wouldn't have been. Celebrity trumps everything else

Again, if Alan Shearer was a SKY pundit and had done this, he wouldn't have got sacked either

The only reason Andy Gray eventually had to leave was because people at SKY actively wanted him gone and stitched him up. They like Carragher and will do whatever they can to keep him. They think this will blow over and they're probably right

I agree completely that celebrities live by different rules,they have presenters convicted of drunk driving,I dont care if Sky sack him or not,ultimately its up to them if it affects the rating then so be it thats their loss

 

[MrD]

I know it's been mentioned already but honestly, how can he do his job when he returns? Nothing he can say or point at on his giant iPad can be taken seriously. Surely just for that Sky won't keep him around for long after his return.

But I wouldn't be shocked if he stays on.

 

[peteblue]

Well he didn't get sacked did he? Nor is it brought up every week either

He's a wealthy bloke who can afford a chauffeur. Getting a two year ban was getting off easy

You think he should have got 10 years or maybe hung then.......what do you think should have happened....

“celebrity privilege” didn’t save Keys and Gray.

Carragher is gone....they may not fire him as such, but his contract will not be renewed.

Sky know what the first thing to come to the viewer’s mind if they see him will be

 

[MrD]

Just heard on the news that police won't be taking action against Carragher

 

[jackyboy]

Interesting the line Sky take against some and not others.

Regardless I think even next season, whenever he criticises anybody on MNF, within seconds there will be tweets bringing this incident up again. Genuinely don't think this is going to be forgotten about any time soon.

I suspect that people were saying that he shouldn't be dumped but I really can't believe that anyone would have defended drink driving.

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Police to take no action against Carragher, the fella who was driving his car while on his phone has got to attend one of those driving course things.

Out to the end of the season is right for me, too much negative focus right now, keep low for a few weeks forgot it and move on. By the time next season comes there will be plenty of new controversies for us to fume and laugh at

Sky totally putting this story into the long grass.
Focus will be on Russia World Cup, should we go ?
If we do, will Kane play ?
Jose took up the sports pages today too..

Lucky Liverpool player, shocker.

Well you can get prison time for drink driving, so the fact he didn't suggests he got off easy

Its not my place to pass judgment

You're very defensive of drink drivers for some reason though

 

[Professor Toffee]

Bet the family will pursue an assault claim

Yeah stories soon get buried, like the Tories cutting school meals for poor families right as this nerve agent situation is all over the press, thats gone un-noticed by many, if Chelsea win tonight and the death of Jim Bowen this is yesterdays news
