Jamie Carragher spits at a 14-year-old girl

Jamie Carragher is facing showdown talks with Sky Sports on Monday after a video emerged of him spitting towards a 14-year-old girl.

The football pundit was filmed committing the act following Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat by Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime.

The video, captured on a mobile phone and published by the Daily Mirror, appears to show the former defender reacting to the girl’s father repeatedly mentioning the scoreline.

 

Carragher apologised for the incident on Sunday evening by branding his actions “totally out of order” having personally spoken to the family at the centre of the storm.

He tweeted: “Totally out of order and I’ve apologised personally to all the family this evening. I was goaded 3/4 times along the motorway while being filmed & lost my rag. No excuse apologies.”

 

However, Sky Sports appear intent on exploring the matter further and talks are planned with the ex-England international later today.

A spokesperson for the channel said: “It’s unacceptable behaviour and we will be addressing it with Jamie.”

Carragher, who retired from football in 2013, is due to go in front of the cameras for Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football coverage of Stoke v Manchester City this evening.

He is thought to be earning an annual salary in excess of £1million for his punditry role.
