Carragher

[Roopy]

Just came across a quote from his book about Lucas Neill

"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 [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."

Now I respect Carragher for all he has achieved with the club and his passion...

But he comes across as try hard gangster from that quote - even if Lucas Neill's tackle was a disgrace.

It has been discussed before I think.
Disappointing, but sadly what you have come to expect from footballers.

Oh true, somehow missed it then.

But yeah, I thought someone was taking the piss when they showed me that quote.

He's probably sensationalised it for his book, I don't believe Carra would have let his mates beat Lucas Neil up, with or without "Davey."

 

[Judge Jules]

Of course not FFS. Carra does have some heavy duty connections through his dad, but at no time did he ask them to hunt Neill down.

A load of school-yard crap

If true, you would have thought Carragher would have been mature enough to get over it, and it's surprising he incorporated the 'event' in his book because he doesn't come off well.

Lucas Neil is a cunt, though.

 

[Roopy]

After reading that, its obvious why Lucas didn't come to LFC.

Carra would have finished him off in a training session.

 

[Squiggles]

He wanted to come enough that he sat down with the club to discuss personal terms.

Unlike West Ham we - rightly - didn't think he was worth £65K a week and that was that.

Bullet dodged.

 

[Roopy]

Was quite pathetic really.

The 4 clubs after him were: Liverpool, Milan, Barcelona and West Ham

He went for money over substance.

He wanted to sit down, but, even though he gave us plenty of notice that he was coming, Parry forgot to arrange for a fold-up 'director's-style' chair to be brought to his office, so the player had to perch on a radiator and subsequently got piles. For once, therefore, Parry's incompetence worked in our favour in a sort of crazy Hegelian way.

 

[Squiggles]

Hahahaha

I'm also grateful to the immigration service, they've prevented us getting work-permits to a few shit players over the years.

Scary that they're better scouts than we are.

To be fair, my money would be on Neill. The guy is a beast.

If that story was true, thats proper shit-house tactics from Carra. I'm surprised he'd admit to it.
