ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC"

[Kurt.]

Ha ha ha ha, if they didn't exist I don't think you could make them up. I actually thought it was the first of April when I read this ...



A dad said he was considering changing his son’s name after the widespread disgust over the Jamie Carragher spitting incident.

Reds supporter Anthony Caplin, from Canterbury, gave his son Charlie the middle name ‘Carragher’ to give him a “strong and brave name” after the youngster underwent open heart surgery.

But now Mr Caplin is thinking about legally altering the four-year-old’s name as he doesn’t want him to be associated with the pundit following his shameful act.

Speaking to the Jermey Vine show on Radio 2, he said: “Four years ago I had a son, he needed open heart surgery when he was born, and being a massive Liverpool fan and being a really big admirer of Jamie Carragher who played with his heart on his sleeve with great bravery, I wanted my son Charlie to have a really strong name.

So he is called Charlie Carragher Caplin. I just wanted to give him a strong brave name to help him get through his life.

“I used to run a football team and if anybody spat at anybody in my team I would kick them out, I didn’t mind if they punched someone but I wouldn’t have them spitting.”

Asked if he thought the spitting incident would blow up before his son was old enough to understand it, he said: “I hope so. This is the worst news I’ve had in a long time and I’ve had a lot of bad news recently.

“I would absolutely [consider changing his name]. My older son is named Emlyn Crazy Horse after the great Emlyn Hughes. He wasn’t a spitter though.

“We might have to go for Gerrard now.”





Feel sorry for the kid, bad enough having surgery but a dad who's obviously a massive buffoon isn't gonna help. There's so much "bonkersness" going on here it's like Alan Partridge wrote it

I told my boy Fat Sam about this, he laughed.

 

[Kurt.]

Calling Liverpool to be second leg at home v Sevilla or Roma right now.

Called it days ago

 

[Saint Domingo]

Called it days ago

Will be amazing if it is, easiest qualifier possible, easiest group possible, easiest round of 16 possible. Devil’s club.

 

[Yarrgh]

I told my boy Fat Sam about this, he laughed.

That was going to be my son's name if he was born 5 weeks later. As it is Lard Ar$e will have to live with what he's got.
