That was amazing, and he didn't let it phase him once

What an odious cretin Andy Burton is. Apparently Carra's son was right next to him during this pathetic baiting attempt as well. I like Carragher's retort though, very good. Makes me a little more content that I watched this on the BBC despite having to listen to Lawrenson for two hours.

FUCKING GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friggin hell we don't do cup finals easy, Istanbul, FA Cup against West Ham and today. Tom Heaton had a stormer of a game but we should have scored more just couldn't take our chances (Again)

Made up we won :D :D :D :D

[Dingle]

Usually dislike Carragher, hate twatty reporters even moreso, especially if that IS his son. Was such a tense game and I'm gutted Cardiff couldn't clinch it, but they've got to be happy with how they performed. Liverpool were lucky in the end because they weren't really good enough to take this from what I saw, especially since Downing may have been the best players in the second half (the only half I caught all of).

[Liam]

To be honest, I thought that was a fair question.

There can only be so many games left in a guy whose only wortwhile contribution is generally to tuck in some pretty nice own goals.

[Dingle]

It IS a fair question, it's just the manner in which it's done. Let the team celebrate for now, maybe ask if he's contemplating his future, but it came across as really dick-ish. I do forgive interviewers sometimes, but a lot of them really wind me up with how they ask people things. Like these people have no feelings >_>.

[Lineker]

That's brilliant; they don't quite know just how to react to that!

[Cheeky Hughes]

The best part of it is the reporter tries a smarmy return as Carragher is walking away.

'Apparently' about it, his son was shown on camera with him!

[Matt]

It's not necessarily his kid. It probably is, but not necessarily.

[Cheeky Hughes]

Same kid walked up the steps with Gerrard and Carragher, and Sky commentators pointed out that he was Jamie's kid.

[Adam]

Yeah I didn't watch on Sky, only mention I think we got of Carra's kid on BBC was when they went back to the studio and Shearer made a comment about his son and school.

Either way, Andy Burton is a tosser. Not that this wasn't already common knowledge before today.
