Football fans have grown accustomed to Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher going blow-for-blow on Monday Night Football.
The punditry pairing have combined to stellar effect since retiring from football and are well accustomed to trading barbs on television. And former Manchester United star Neville has told ex-Liverpool defender Carragher he's 'losing his rag' in their latest clash.
But the Sky Sports duo are seen facing off in a very different setting this time around. In fact, the colleagues weren't even in the same room as they teamed up to promote Sky Live, a new streaming product that allows viewers to interact with one another while tuning into the same programme.

The video begins with Carragher, 45, gushing over some fine 'footwork', 'backheels' and 'crosses'. Neville, 48, disagrees with that assessment before 'Carra' asks his colleague 'where his head's at', only for the former to fire back: "You're losing your rag now."
That's when the camera zooms out to show the two are actually watching Joey Essex and others performing on Dancing On Ice. Using a camera hooked into one's television, viewers can simulcast a show while speaking directly to their companion(s).

And it isn't long before Neville and Carragher are joined by Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse, who invades their viewing session before propositioning both with an invite onto the show. "I would love to see that," said Carragher. "He'd [Neville} end up on his backside in seconds."
Neville wasn't about to take that lying down, however, and replied: "[That] from a man who spent most of his career on his backside?"

Sky's promotion of the new viewing options reads: "Watching TV will never be the same again. From analysing the Premier League title race, to enjoying guilty pleasures together, see friends and family in their own homes, on screen alongside the biggest range of brilliant TV on Sky. Only on #SkyLive."
The new innovation is perfect for sports viewing and offers friends and family an alternative to watch matches and events together, even when they're apart. Albeit hopefully with fewer insults traded than Carragher and Neville.
