one thing you can always be sure of is that he would throw himself and probably his missus and kids in front of a challenge if he could.
shame though he conceded another penalty even if you choose to blame spearing for it.

Nothing to do with "choosing" to blame Spearing, he was to blame. He inexplicably kept a ball in inside his own box whilst a striker was on his back?

Carragher did what any defender would do and made a last ditch tackle.

Carragher was outstanding last night. The diving headed clearance in the second half was him at his best.

He didn't have to fly it like that.

He didn't have a choice did he? let the player skip past him and look like an idiot? He was forced and attempted to do a last ditch tackle after Spearing lost the ball in our own penalty box! That was a school boy error from Spearing and that forced Carragher to do something about it. All good defenders would have done the same, sometimes you get away with it and sometimes you don't

spearing should have hoofed it into the stand rather than falling over it,that was his mistake but carragher is the one who went to ground and conceeded the pen.
whilst you were at the game and im sure you enjoyed it but watching it on the tv we had the advantage of replays and it was a sloppy challenge by carra and always a pen.
other than that though carra was immense but when you look at the stats on penaltys conceeded its carra 2 spearing 0.
if we want to pin it on someone else im sure we can backtrack on that play and find someone who gave the possession away in the first place and pin it on him

What he lacks in pace he makes up for with his footballing brain.

Again not argueing the Spearing mistake ,it was indeed a school yard error ,but the brighton player was moving backwards and Carra just throw a wild tackle. He had plenty of choices he picked the wrong one.

No disrespect but that response sounds like you have never played football. When you are on the byline the only realistic way to move is away from goal - if you want to score.

It's different if your further out, in those (and most) circumstances your chances of scoring become less the further out you go. However, when you're on the byline moving backwards increases you chances of scoring as you are increasing the shooting angle.

I understood, Carragher understood, you need to understand this to explain why the tackle was made.
