Jamie Carragher - Controversial Autobiography

Steely Hill · Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 2:01 pm

fresh off the back of the many Carragher incidents where he displays what an unsavoury character he is we learn of this little gem from his forthcoming autobiography (what the ----?!?).....

Jamie Carragher wrote:

When my leg was broken in an horrific tackle by Lucas Neill in September 2003, my mates were ready to hunt him down if I gave the go-ahead.

A few weeks later I received a phone call. "You won't believe this, Jay. We're in 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.

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.

what kind of a man is he? who the hell does he think he is? Al Capone?

i bet Neill is terrified of potentially finding a horse head in his bed with a message from Don Carragher.

What a loser, I bet he wouldnt take Neill on one on one.

That is a bit shocking.

Did you read about his run-in with Rigobert song? That was slightly better.

Carragher discusses former Liverpool teammate Rigobert Song:

'He strolled off to his French speaking friends and began talking to them. I could see him pointing towards me while everyone was grinning. It was clear what he was saying and the rage inside me simmered.

'Later, Song walked on to the training pitch with a smile on his face. He was limping off it with a grimace an hour later. The first chance I got, I did him. Never have I hunted down a 50-50 tackle with greater appetite

"You're not ------ laughing now are you, you soft ----?" I said as he hobbled away.

'Did I care he had a knock? No way. I don't remember him or anyone else in the squad for that matter trying to take the piss out of my ability again.'

Indeed.

what a hypocritical muggy -----.

i genuinely hope somebody, hopefully Neill, breaks this ----- leg and puts him out of the game for good. i mean that with 100% sincerity.

Same as Barton really, to do a teammate on purpose like that is .... Especially as my bet he did not know what Song was saying in French as well : Bi-lingual Carragher never Laughing

Sitting on the England coach as it prepared to drive us away from the World Cup in Germany, I received a text message.

"F*** it! It's only England". I'd just missed a penalty in the quarter-final shoot-out against Portugal. Around me were the tear-stained faces of under-performing superstars.

England's so-called golden generation had failed. Again.

An eerie depression escorted us on the short trip back to the hotel, but as I stared at my phone and considered the implications of the comforting note, I didn't feel the same emptiness I sensed in others.

There's no such concept as 'only England' to most footballers, including many of my best friends.

Representing your country is the ultimate honour, especially in the World Cup.

Not to me. Did I care we'd gone out of the tournament? Of course I did. Passionately.

Did I feel upset about my part in the defeat? Yes. I was devastated to miss a penalty of such importance. Had I really given my all for my country? Without question.

I've never given less than 100 per cent in any game.

Despite this, whenever I returned home from disappointing England experiences one unshakeable, overriding thought pushed itself to the forefront of my mind, no matter how much the rest of the nation mourned. "At least it wasn't Liverpool," I'd repeat to myself, over and over.

I think this is really unprofessional to try to exact revenge on either team-mates or opponents by using violence.
I remember Roy Keane being suspended for doing the city player on purpose or Barton who is gonna get something for assaulting Dabo. I just wonder why Liverpool did not take action for the Song incident ?

Just saying what he and some other members of the England squad are thinking? Or maybe just because he couldn't hold-down a place in the first 11?

Pathetic.

You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

In the real world, people do much worse. Well, he did nothing anyway, so what's the big deal? Steely, you're supposed to be an east-end boy, surely you've experience much worse on a regular basis?

EDIT: I've now read the Song part, which i certainly don't agree with, but that wasn't intended to be part of this thread, so i stand by what i said above. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

what a f*cking hypocrite.

you criticise Bellamy and Bowyer and yet defend this scummy coward?

un-f*cking-believeable.

whatever i may have experienced is beyond ireelevant.

this man is a boyhood hero to tracksuit wearing scouse pikeys swarming all over Liverpool. is this the actions of an idol? if he is this Mr Big why not confront Neill himself? complete b*tch. and then to wipe out Song for laughing and pointing in French was yet more cowardice. thats not even getting into the countless other misdemeanours this scumbag has commited.

yet he somehow gets away with it. he is Mr Teflon and all these cummy acts never stick. its disgusting.

he is everything that is wrong with the inhabitants of the City of Liverpool.

Now you are the hypocrite. You act all high and mighty, condemning Carragher, and then you come out with this.

Wishing someone's career be cut short with a broken leg. What a scum bag.

And for the record steely, i've never criticised Bowyer on here, so i don't know where you've got that from. I actually used to like him, but his violent thuggish ways put and end to that.

What a scumbag. Nothing less than you'd expect.

His ability deserves mocking anyway. He can barely trap a ball.

rachrvp · Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 4:35 pm

i absolutely HATE him. what a complete and utter idiot

conner99 · Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 5:09 pm

well we have all had a go here at certain players for their actions on and off the pitch ...calling them all sorts of names and wishing them all sorts of ill-fortune after the event or incident , does that make us as bad as Jamie Caragher .....if we were to write a book about our life would we have such stories to tell ...would people have reason to hate us or have a go at us like in the same way as Steely ..

in my case absolutely not ....i`m not a paid a huge salary though and in the public eye like Caragher is ...

floody · Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 5:15 pm

I've never really been able to stand Carragher, he's always struck me as being a bit of moron and some of those quotes above go along way to proving it, both the Neil and Song ones are just ridiculous. I find him also to be hilariously overrated by many.

Ben91 · Posted: Thu Sep 04, 2008 5:20 pm

Plenty of what is written will be embellished though.

He is trying to write and sell a book after all.

that would be what he deserves in my opinion.

planning on getting a couple of goons to beat somebody up is cowardice. doing so over a tackle on a football pitch is even more cowardice.

i have no time for cowards and his cowardly actions deserve punishment.

how about the song incident? yet more cowardice. why not confront him face to face like a man? a weak and pathetic little man. clearly he is trying to position himself as some kind of hard man and yet the opposite is true.

yes i do wish that to happen and i make no apology for it. this kind of cowardice has no place in football or in life at all. even if he is blagging it to look tough that is probably even worse and highlights what a sorry human being he is.

im condemning carragher for his cowardice, not his thuggery or leanings towards violence. hence why that is not hypocritical. geddit?

why has my post and the title been edited? scum of the earth is the title i wanted. explanation please somebody.

this has to be the worst of the quotes, the guy should never have been playing for england with this attitude, his heart was not in it, he contradicts himself in this excerpt, at one point he says he cares passionately that england went out of the cup and then he says he was just thinking "at least its not liverpool" - absolutely disgusting

also the foul on song, on your own team mate is rotten, carragher is a man without class and i doubt he could scrap in real life, im with adrian durham on this one, hes a bottler
