Yes he was after some footage to show his mates of him abusing Carragher, it wouldnt have happened if he hadnt have done that, yet we all agree that still doesnt justify Carragher spitting at him
As it happens I have 2 stories from driving the car ( well the VW T5 in the first instance and my works van in the 2nd )
We were driving down to London to go and stay the weekend with my Brother, as we are driving down, we overtake the Swansea team coach on the M4, I slow down slightly and tell the kids to get the city scarf out from under the seat and wave it at them and do the Ayatollah, a bit of a laugh imho
2nd story, i had a job to do ( still do it ) near Bristol Citys training ground, When Trundle was playing for them I was driving past one day and caught sight of him, I pulled up just down the road and shouted " Lee , Lee " he looked over fairly pleased to accept some fan admiration, " you jack B-stard " was the chant, he laughed and I drove of
Both cases were imho a bit of harmless banter, lets face it, we are football fans, We give abuse to players, when they can, they give it back ( look at Jacks doing the Ayatollah or the swim-away ) we give it out, we get some back ( though the spitting was way too far )
On this note, I remember when we played Swindon and Razor ruddock was playing for them, he took the chants in great humour, you fat b-stard was the main one, he stood and rubbed his Belly, Now thats how it should be
If i saw Hartson next to me in traffic, would i shout " you jack B-stard " at him, sure i would, I wouldnt film it to put on youtube / facebook though, as I am not sure any of my " new " middle class england friends would care or find it funny, i would hope Hartson wouldnt spit at me either.
