Richards 'banned' from CBS segment as Carragher leaves panel in stitches

Brest were facing Barcelona in the Champions League and as part of CBS Sport's coverage of the night's action, Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Richards were set to take a look at the side.

CBS Sports have built a reputation for combining sports content with comedy and entertainment, leading to a number of memorable moments in their recent coverage.

Knowing that ex-Manchester City star Richards has a somewhat immature sense of humour, Abdo took the opportunity to have some fun and try to make him laugh when discussing the unfortunately-named French side.

"We are going to do a segment about Brest, but unfortunately you've consistently proven that you can't stay professional when talking about Brest so production would ask are you comfortable just staying silent?"

Richards responded: "Come on, Kate. I can do this! You can't trust me?," to which Abdo replied: "No, we can't. Experience has taught us not to trust you."

Beginning the segment, Abdo asked: "So after four games, who here likes Brest?," to which Carragher immediately raised his hand.

"You like Brest?" asked Abdo, with Carragher replying: "I like the shape of them."

This led Richards to burst out laughing as he watched on in disbelief.

Abdo continued: "You look at the setup that the manager has got - do you think he's going with a front two tonight?"

Henry replied: "Yeah, two big - a big pair up front who will try to…" "work off each other," interrupted Carragher.

Abdo then asked: "I'm interested to know how much you like to watch them, would you pay to watch them?"

Carragher then replied: "I have done," which led to hysterical laughter from Henry and Richards.

Henry then added: "One thing you have to say is that you don't have to be big, you can be small to compete," with Abdo replying: "Hmm, that's interesting."

The anchor then asked: "Do you think Brest could get exposed tonight?" with Carragher cheekily replying: "I hope so!"

With a look of disbelief on his face, Richards asked: "What is this? What is this? Nonsense! HR? Wow!"

Abdo then asked: "What do you think Micah? Do you think Barcelona could come a bit quickly for Brest tonight?," to which Carragher replied: "Oooh, I think we might have crossed the line."

Richards then responded: "You're trying to get me sacked! I'm taking the fifth (amendment)," with a big exhale.

The panel then went on to properly analyse the French side, before Abdo wrapped up the segment.

She said: "Daydreaming about Brest, I'm sure you can all relate," to which Richards replied: "What is going on here?"

Brest ended up losing the clash 3-0, with Robert Lewandowski helping himself to a double.
