Reds legend Jamie Carragher was involved in another war of words on Twitter on Monday evening, as barbs he was exchanging with Leicester City full-back Danny Simpson turned personal.
The former Liverpool centre-back, who turned out for the club in their friendly last week with Sydney FC, started their latest round of social media sparring after being pictured with this snake below:
Twitter: Finally get my hands on @dannysimpson https://t.co/MgnbZW2xFB (@Carra23)
Carragher and Simpson had previously swapped insults after the Sky Sports pundit questioned the Leicester players’ desire, as they imploded under Claudio Ranieri last season but were like a different team after he was sacked, and Craig Shakespeare took over.
Simpson responded three times before Carragher deemed a reply was worthy to this tweet:
Twitter: @Carra23 have you ever just chilled in your living room like this with a prem medal on your neck ? https://t.co/J4tDHUKfl0 (@dannysimpson)
Twitter: FFS you got it out the cabinet & asked your missus to take a picture!!
That’s nearly as bad as the ear ring? oh &… https://t.co/0L7wZk7lNC (@Carra23)
The wisecracks then turned personal, however, with Simpson referring to Carragher’s wife, and the ex-Liverpool man responding with a reference to allegations about Simpson and his ex-partner, before both recognised lines had been crossed and exchanged apologies:
Twitter: Apologies for getting personal on here not my style! But a line was crossed. And another reminder to never lose your temper on social media! (@Carra23)
Twitter: @Carra23 Yea apologies mate, was only supposed to be a bit of banter (@dannysimpson)
So all’s well that ends well.
Until the next time…
