Carragher and Richards make fun of Roy Keane’s ‘car park’ threat

Colman Stanley

“We just want to go home, Roy.”

Unsurprisingly, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards have poked fun at their Sky Sports colleague Roy Keane, following his spat with an Ipswich fan two Sundays ago

After Man United’s 1-1 draw with Ipswich, Keane got into a heated exchange pitch side, which ended up with the pundit saying to the supporter, “I’ll wait for you in the car park.”

Jamie Carragher, never one to miss out on a bit of ribbing with his fellow pundits, used the line in his mini spat with Liverpool’s Mo Salah.

Ex-Reds man Carragher criticised the in-form winger over his handling of his contract negotiations with the Merseyside outfit, with the Egyptian ambiguous in his comments about whether he will likely stay at the club or leave.

Carragher said:

Right now, there’s obviously a big difference between the valuation – what Mo Salah and his agent value themselves at, whether that’s financially or in terms of length of contract, to what Liverpool do.

So the reason Liverpool haven’t offered him a contract yet is because Mo Salah will turn it down.

I must say I am very disappointed with Mo Salah. Liverpool have got Real Madrid midweek and Man City at the weekend. That’s the story for Liverpool right now.

If he keeps putting comments out, his agent puts out cryptic messages, that is selfish. That is thinking about themselves and not the football club.

After Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Man City on Sunday, Gary Neville had Salah as his man of the match, while Carragher had Virgil van Dijk.

Van Dijk quipped to his teammate: “I’m surprised that Carragher didn’t give it to you,” to which Salah replied, “he wouldn’t give it to me.”

Back in the studio, Carragher responded with “I’ll see him in the car park,” with Keane his usual deadpan self.

Micah Richards has laugh with Roy Keane comments

Last night, Micah Richards tweeted a photo of Keane and Carragher looking at their watches with the caption,

“This Ipswich fan is really taking his time. We just want to go home Roy.”
