Not this again?
NOTW is not the S*n, there is no boycott of the NOTW....surely, of all people, Carragher would know the level of feeling on writing for the NOTW, and obviously he sees no wrong in it.
Some people will make a big deal of this though.

Unbelievable really.

Of all the players in our squad.

Regardless of whether it's part of the 'official' boycot or not, it's an extremely grey area that is sure to upset and anger a fair chunk of our support. It's not like he needs the cash or anything.

The NOTW is The Sunday Sun.

Poor, really poor Carra.

Should have stayed away from it - if true he knew it would be controversial, and it isn't liek he needs the cash for writing the column is it?

The HJC say it's no problem, but still some do see it as The Sun's sister paper.

But still, like Chris, I'm surprized he's done it.

Heres the proof

actually read that this morning and it never occurred to me the significance of it,probably because im completely baffled as to why its a problem.

all this crap about it being the sunday s*n is complete bollox,to me its just moaning for the sake of moaning now.

the boycott and stance on the s*n stands to lose any credence if people continue to tar everything that murdoch owns with the same brush.
i bet those same people who are up in arms all have sky.

The club consulted the HFSG regarding this paper and the outcome was that there would be no boycott. I thought the club also consulted the HJC, but it looks like they didn't.

Anyway, if people want to associate the NOTW with that other rag then it's personal choice.

[Darth Marty]

perhaps hes just sticking up for a mate. And maybe it wasnt exclusive to the sunday rag?
I wont hold it against carra personally.

[Rafa Shankly]

It's not like he needs the cash or anything.

so you know that he hasnt donated the cash to charity do you?

[Marky]

I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable with all this tbh.

How long before this thread goes crazy?

for what it's worth I think it was a silly thing to do because he is doing something he doesn't need to do, knowing that it wall cause a mini **** storm within the fans.

My own feelings towards it are that I don't mind and am not offended in the slightest. In my opinion if you boycott the NOTW then you would have to boycott other media like Sky which is the NOTW of television. IMO anyway

It's weird that multi millionaires like Gerrard, Owen and Carra feel the need to walk such a tightrope for the sake of a few extra quid.

It's only money. Is it really worth pissing off the folk that pay to watch you week in week out for ?

I honestly dont get it sometimes

[El Jefecito]

Carra

[Ron_Mexico]

looks like carra is testing all those that criticized bascombe for moving to NOTW

will there be a similar campaign of hate against carra?
