Calm Down, Calm Down...Carragher In Fan Fight Fury

Jamie Carragher was today at the centre of a probe (not anal I presume) after he allegedly challenged Luton fans for a fight after the shambolic performance against the Hatters on Sunday evening.

Carragher is no stranger to such charades, who could forgot that classic moment against Arsenal when he picked up a coin which was aimed at him and threw it right back into the crowd. It later emerged that the fan in question had merely offered Carragher a penny for his thoughts.

Full details have yet to be confirmed as to how the latest incident came about, but it is rumoured that a few Luton fans, dressed up in Scouse wigs and moustaches were giving poor Jamie a bit of stick during his warm down and telling him to “calm down”.

Now, whilst I can understand his annoyance, and the exact details cannot be confirmed it does appear to be a case of another footballer acting like a prima donna. It appears that Carragher was trying to pick a fight with a bunch of fans who probably take a couple of years to earn what he does in a week for about 3-4 hours “work”. Why could he just not ignore them, be the bigger man and walk away. Is this really the way professional sportsman should act?

How often did you see Shane Warne jump in the crowd and with a Jimmy Fly Super Snuka Splash after being taunted for being fat? No, what he instead did was bowl out the whole England team to silence them. In other words, he got on with his job and let his talent do the talking.

It’s about time these idiots starting acting with a little dignity. Abuse isn’t nice, don’t get me wrong, but reacting in such a way is only going to further damage the reputation of top flight footballers, especially when confidence in them is at its lowest ebb for many a year.

Sort it out lads.
