Football News: Fans response to Karius concussion leaves a lot to be desired

Fans response to Karius concussion leaves a lot to be desired
Image from: freelargeimages.com

The recent and confirmed concussion of Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius in the Champions League final appears to have suggested the player was not in the right frame of mind to continue playing after his collision with Sergio Ramos, however the fact that nothing was done by UEFA to notice this, and certain Liverpool fans claiming it as an excuse to avoid buying a new goalkeeper, should be deemed as absurd.

Here's a collections of fans thoughts from http://www.liverpool-rumours.co.uk/

"If Karius felt disoriented or ill, he could've said something after he conceded the first goal.

And if Liverpool are looking for sympathy on Karius' behalf by letting the hospital release private medical records, then this is just embarrassing. They should just have left it at him owning up to his mistakes like he did after the final. We lost, some of us are actually trying to move on here."

"Maybe they are releasing it to stop the death threats? Or to help sell him? Who knows."

"VDV, sometimes you just don't know these things when it happens to you. And if it justifies the errors he made then I'm cool with that. To make a statement saying they are seeking sympathy by releasing private medical records is embarrassing for you.
It's football, The details of pretty much every football injury ever is released ;)
Yeah the result was rubbish and the way it happened was worse and the fact that ramos has and will continue to get away with rubbish like that is also embarrassing but it's time to move on mate, we had a cracking season. The end."

"I love the support we show our players. win together, lose together. the biggest disgrace is how long it took for a team mate to go to him ynwa."

"You'll never walk alone is ringing in my ears after a few of them comments."

"He very well could have had concussion, but for me there is nothing to be gained from this being publicly announced. It makes the club look like it’s clawing at excuses and ungracious in defeat. Take the hit move on and use it as a learning curve and experience for the young lads. Was it the result we all wanted no but it wasn’t the first time and unfortunately won’t be the last time we lose. Karius can’t win either way concussion and he should have said something sooner if not he was just rubbish and at fault this statement puts him in the limelight again for the wrong reason. sorry for the long winded response."

But Ed001's response summed up how he felt about some of those posting in his summary.

{Ed001's Note - I disagree, I think all this stuff should be more public. What is showing is what a bunch of selfish turds you lot are, in that your only concern is whether it affected the result or if it increases his sale value. We should all be asking how we can ensure another player does not risk his long term health by playing on with this kind of problem. We should be asking why Ramos was able to get away with what was yet another act of violence which could have damaged another player's career. And we should be asking why it was not picked up at the time and Karius either subbed or given more time to recover, whichever was best for the player's long term health. Instead you lot are being utter selfish dicks and not considering anything other than a game. I am disgusted by the pathetic and selfish attitude you all are showing over this. About time some of you went and took the time to learn more about concussion and the damage it can do in the long term.}

 

"Spot on Ed when I just read that news on sky I expected to come on here reading all sorts of sympathy for Karius. I should have remembered though that it’s too much for some people on here. Who cares about the result now? I care more about karius’ health And his mental state. It also explains the performance in the biggest game of his career to date! I was one of the first to say on the morning after his performance was unacceptable and we need to buy a keeper, but after reading to doctors statement I think he should be given another chance. I don’t think it’s “embarrassing” releasing that statement either, it let's people know how his game was effected and I think it will help karius deal with this. YNWA."

{Ed001's Note - there are hundreds of times players have had stinkers because they played through injury, putting up with abuse from fans for having a stinker. About time clubs were honest like they have to be in most US sports. They should have to be open and fair to the players. It is not right that someone should take abuse for not playing well when they are doing well just to make it out on to the pitch.}
