"It falls well below the standards we expect of our people.”  Carragher himself appeared on Sky News in the wake of his suspension, saying: "You can't condone that behaviour in any way shape or form."[It was] a moment of madness, it is difficult to explain. Watching those clips back it feels like almost an out of body thing. A moment of madness for four or five seconds. "You're actually thinking to yourself, 'Why did you react like that?' That's part of being a public figure. I just have no excuse. I'm devastated for the family involved and my own family."My biggest regret is for the 14-year-old to be caught in the middle of this altercation with the father. That devastates me a little bit more than anything else."I can't go back, hopefully they accept [my apology]." Asked to explain why he should remain with the broadcaster, Carragher, who said he has not offered his resignation, replied: "There's no doubt what I have done is disgusting, I'm getting vilified and rightly so. "What I would hope for the public who have known me for almost 25 years in the public eye is that five seconds of madness will not take over everything I've done now. "Hopefully going forward I can show the real me. I don't think that is a real representation of me."</blockquote>
