Following an internal review, Sky has suspended Jamie Carragher for the remainder of the football season.
Jamie has taken full responsibility for what has happened and we will ensure he gets the help he needs to guarantee something like this never happens again.

Carragher was goaded in his car by a Manchester United fan after Liverpool's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford on Saturday, and responded by spitting at the car, with some of his spittle landing on the driver's 14-year-old daughter. Carragher has been forthright in expressing remorse, and did so once again today in response to the news that the driver of the car has received death threats.
