Football fans have mocked and blasted Jamie Carragher in a series of online memes after he spat at a 14-year-old girl.
The former Liverpool defender sparked fury after a video showed him appearing to spit at the teenager from his car.
As the Sky Sports pundit today met with TV bosses for showdown talks, the web was flooded with a series of tweets and images poking fun at the star, with others calling for him to be sacked.

Others reacted with outrage over the shocking incident and tore into the star as he arrived in London this morning.
And as he arrived at Euston station in London from Liverpool, he said: ‘I’ll speak to the family again. I’m sorry. I’ll apologise again today properly.’
It came as Danish channel TV3 Sport pulled the 40-year-old from their line up to cover the match between Manchester United and Sevilla tomorrow night.
Sky bosses are now deciding whether he should present Monday Night Football this evening.
In a shocking video of the incident, the teenager’s father repeatedly mentioned the scoreline in Manchester United’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool.
Carragher is then heard to say, ‘Alright’, before he appears to spit at the car alongside him.
The former Liverpool star apologised to the teenage girl after the video emerged on Sunday evening.
In a tweet on Sunday night, Carragher wrote: “Totally out of order & Ive apologised personally to all the family this evening. I was goaded 3/4 times along the motorway while being filmed & lost my rag. No excuse apologies.”
Twitter was also swamped with tweets urging Sky Sports to sack the pundit after the incident
Carragher, who joined Sky Sports after retiring in 2013, has become a popular pundit working regularly alongside former United defender Gary Neville.
A Sky Sports spokesman said: “It’s unacceptable behaviour and we will be addressing it with Jamie.”
