Former Liverpool defender turned Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher is never too far away from controversy.
The ex-Red, who found himself in hot water after spitting from his car window at a young girl in 2018, somehow managed to keep his job, but following recent reports of another incident, Sky Sports may be forced to take action.
I’m not Carragher’s biggest fan but he’s not in the wrong here in my opinion. Obviously shouldn’t snatch the phone but still https://t.co/5jIExpGvyM

Carragher, 44, was recently caught on camera snatching a mobile phone from a fan while making his way through a crowd of Nottingham Forest supporters following the Reds’ two-nil defeat against Spurs last weekend.

That’s according to the Mirror, who claims the 44-year-old was being heckled by a large gathering of home supporters with one eye-witness source saying: “He was getting a lot of stick when he was coming down the stairs and then he stopped and grabbed some lad’s phone. He seemed pretty riled up by it all – at one point I thought he was going to properly kick off.”
Today, Carragher pour cold water on the incident.
“I was being escorted from one part of The City Ground to another, past some vocal fans with plenty of heckling,” the pundit said.
“For me, no harm was intended from either side.”
He really is an absolute idiot, all he did when he played was take players out I really don’t know how he played in the Liverpool team for so long.
Whenever he’s commentating I turn it of.
Him and Gary Neville are so anti Spurs it’s untrue.
I was in A block when he came through. Some banter, but a few were giving him unnecessary abuse and aggression, thought it looked a but dicey until a couple of older sensible heads ushered him down to Stewards. Not in any way a fan of his, but he did nothing wrong and took the actual banter well. A few of the folk right near back were embarrassing to themselves and my club. We are better than that.
Obvious how people target him it’s easy money calling it assault and how their feelings are hurt it’s all about money other people would not put up with abuse
