What kind of a man spits in a young girl's face? Feels like it's one of those stories that has a lot more to it than is being revealed. I don't condone spitting. It's rank. Let's get that out of the way first. A few questions though - Was it really just banter? Or was it "banter" - the modern phrase for behaving like an arsehole and the other person 'just can't take a joke'. If it was just gentle ribbing, why was the father - who should've been concentrating on driving, especially with a young girl in the passenger seat - filming it? Carragher will have had some ferocious abuse from opposition supporters down the years. What must have been said for him to react like that? Do we really believe the spit was intended for the girl, or was it the general direction of the vehicle? If it was intended for the girl, who on Earth is able to spit so powerfully that they can get it from one moving vehicle through the window of another? Why is football (and seemingly broader society) so infested with bell ends that one man is able to be so antagonistic it provokes another one to spit at him? Banter? Is it a word, and indeed an activity, exclusively for words removed? If so, what does that suggest in regards to question 1, and the victim suggesting it was "just banter"? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted March 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2018 I've just received a parking fine from Premier Park of £100, £60 if paid within 14 days. It was outside the Solihull Ice Rink, is there anyway around this or have I just got to cough it up and pay? Me and a friend were playing Snooker at Rileys, got there at 10.30am only to be told it opens at 11am (the website says 10.30am) and that caused me to go over my time by 27 minutes. I'm not sure if this would have any relevance in addition to the parking fine I got though.. (probably none) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would very much like answers to all of these questions. Sadly we almost certainly won't get any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 12, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted March 12, 2018 I used to rather like the word “banter”. I now hate it along with “bantz”. I reckon “jesting” or “joshing” are better. Or maybe if I’m so inclined “one upmanship”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you can ignore a ticket like that. However, it's free parking there for Fitness First Members (I used to go there). I think they have allocated spaces, but you could always try and blag that you were using the gym and were assured the parking was free. Could even say you were using a free pass if they asked for proof of membership or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the term “joshing” purely because Glenn uses it in “The Thick of It” in response to Ollie’s epic “I’m Geoff Average” rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah - why are you talking about nuance when we can have a good public vilification? Let's be sanctimonious so we can feel self important and destroy his career!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another question though, before I answer that. Can I just ask if the girl in question has requested it because she likes it? Too much? I'm basically new here in OT I don't know!

VILLAMARV Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Also Carragher has always been pretty dislikeable if that's even a word. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have too much time on your hands spitting is actually defined as battery so presumably plod have to investigate it and issue at least a warning . That said , he's apologised and that should be enough but then we live in an era of trial by social media so he’ll be getting a P45 in the morning 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve told the story before, how I was stalked online, also turned up at my work, but it was ‘banter’, he ended up getting the sack from his job as he was doing it to a lady too - but played the most incredible victim card. ‘It was banter and now I lose my job’ - **** prick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the page to keep an eye on it, as I saw a few posts from people I know - saying it was a page made by a bully. About 2 weeks after liking it (I wanted to see what was happening) I got a message from the lady who was stalked, she warned me it was him and I unliked. It’s popular though, thousands of people have liked it. People love a bit of social media bullying.. ‘banter’ Edited March 15, 2018 by Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
