    He's totally wrong. But the driver is as bad as him. Driving and recording on his phone at the same time

    Yup, i can't load the video but a terrible thing to do. From what i heard the driver was being a total dick too though; not that it excuses it or anything but we're all human i guess.

    Vile act.

    The state of Liverpool fans trying to defend/deflect away from what he did.

    "But that dad was recording and driving!!!111"

    Lads this from a person who admitted to this Carry on in his book after the Lucas Neill incident

    "A few weeks later I received a phone call. 'You won't believe this, Jay. We're in [Manchester shopping mall] the Trafford Centre and Lucas Neill is walking straight towards us. What do you reckon?'

    "Did I really want Neill to take a crack? 'There's only one problem,' added the voice. 'Little Davey Thommo is with him.'

    "That was that. I could hardly let one of my best mates, David Thompson, now a Blackburn player, become a witness to an assault.

    "Besides, he'd have recognised the attackers. The impromptu mission was aborted and I sent a text to Thommo telling him Neill should give him a hug of thanks."

    Carragher added: "As word got back to Blackburn about the near miss, or should that be hit, their coach Terry Darracott, a Scouser, appealed to one of my friends to call the boys off. I agreed."

    I can’t think of a single thing that could possibly make me spit at anyone. Let alone a young girl.

    Bull****.

    I don't support United or Liverpool or any other UK team for that matter, I don't give a toss about Carragher either way, if it was Gary Neville I'd say the exact same thing. I think most balanced people would.

    That's a disgusting act, spitting at someone is the lowest of the low. What an embarrassing outlook to have on the incident.

    Right let's make this real simple.

    Random bloke takes piss out of ex footballer over a football match he had no part in but played for the team. Really its a bit of crack banter as they call it. I'm sure these type things happen every day.

    What would most people/players do? Laugh it off? Respond with ah whatever mate or similar.

    Jamie decides to spit back at them/car........

    The lowest of the low? Driving and recording, winding up someone who is also driving; endangering people’s lives isn’t lower?
    The faux outrage.

    United fan here. No one came out of that video looking good.

    The girl - Sounded utterly embarrassed by and for her father. I genuinely feel sorry for her.

    The "father" - Scum. Completely disregards the safety of his child, as well as other road users, to throw some cheap comments at a footballer in the hope of getting a reaction to sell the video to a rag. Should be ashamed of himself. No doubt he goaded Carragher at the risk of causing an accident. Should be hit with a dangerous driving charge to try discourage any others trying to replicate this attempt at making a quick buck.

    Carragher - Shocking behaviour and absolutely naive. Do anything, tell him to f**k off, stick up the finger, keep driving, call him a bellend, tell him you earned more in month than he'll earn in a lifetime, but just don't spit. Especially out the window of a moving car in the direction of a young girl. Very hard for him to come back from this.
    Shame, I liked him on MNF, but this was totally vulgar. Even though it's not as sinister or creepy as the Key & Gray behaviour, it looks worse.

    Hmm, if someone verbally attacked my wife/children/mother/father etc it may be a natural/spontanious reaction perhaps. Which is not what happened to him of course which is why i'm not defending him by any matter of means

    Driver apparently followed him down the road numerous times to give him "banter". More likely with some abuse thrown in as well.

    Don't think either of them come out looking good from it to be honest but I don't see Carragher being sacked for it due to the provocation element. He was ridiculously stupid to do what he did though. Probably gave your man exactly the reaction he was hoping for. He even had the phone ready to record.

    Carragher should have just told him to eff off and driven away. And maybe he did before that.

    Agree with all of this. Wouldn’t care if he got fired for it. Unlikely he was aiming for the kid, but a brainless reaction that could have provoked a serious response and could have led to serious rage .... and something a lot worse.

    Pathetic. Sad deflecting.

    Imagine actually not condemning Carragher for what he did. Totally indefensible. But... but.... the dad was filming and driving you guys!!!

    Disgusting.

    But here come the social justice police that won't be happy until sky fire him, Liverpool disown him and his wife leaves him. Watch how this man gets destroyed over the next few days.

    Again, just using it to take a shot. Faux outrage, and a true show of your own character.
