This tweet from Dean Windass about Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher defies belief.

Windass was replying to one sent out by Carragher when he typed out one of the most incoherent pieces of social media literature ever recorded.

The 48-year-old hardly spelled a word right in his brief tirade at Carra, in which he address the spitting incident that left the pundit suspended from Sky Sports.

In a long career that spanned two decades and saw Windass net 200 league goals, the Hull native played for 10 different sides across the English pyramid and featured for the Tigers across three different spells, Sheffield United twice, Bradford twice and Sheffield Wednesday once.

His most productive period came for The Bantams, for whom Windass played 138 league games and scored 60 goals between 2003 and 2007.

With only 17 Premier League goals behind him, it can hardly be said that the striker had an excellent playing career. But 600 senior appearances tells its own story and it’s clear that he was valued as a footballer.

But maybe social media outbursts like the one shown above prove that being valued as a player and being valued as a commentator of the game are two completely different things – and it also highlights the providence of thinking and proof-reading before you tweet!

His mangled views on Carragher, when unscrambled into legible English, do provide the crux of the argument against letting the former defender stay in his job.

Carragher is supposed to be a role model and his behavior, spitting at a car on the road, was not acceptable from a man with his social standing.

However, his apology and the number of positive character references coming from former players and media would suggest a man who is rightfully ashamed of his action and crucially, a man who will learn from them.

Hopefully Windass will copy his fellow football veteran’s playbook and learn from his own poorly written, badly executed Twitter mistakes.
