Are you actually serious? Have you ever had anyone in your family attacked?He didn't need to go into the crowd to protect his family.
If his family was being threatened it didn't need him to do that.
He's a complete idiot man. Sell. PLEASE
He'll never get to the next level. And now he's going to get banned - what a tool.
Probably one of the worst signings we've made in recent times.
If he gets a ban I think we'll sell him at whatever price we can get as a convenient way to get him off the books.

Oh ya someone else can save them.
Fucking hell.
Yep, there's no defending that.Yeah, a lengthy ban will be the end of his Liverpool career, and rightly so.
There are some awful takes in this thread, but the one thing that sticks out as stupidity from Darwin is that video of the potential chair throwing. Thats not a good look, and beyond stupid. Could be a ban for that at least. Doubt we’ll get much money.

Well, that's the thing – several Uruguay players rushed in, but he seemed to be the only one who completely lost his head. Not surprisingly.Yeah, a lengthy ban will be the end of his Liverpool career, and rightly so.

He's lucky that the security guard managed to get a hand on that chair. If it connected, whatever ban he is going to get, would be a whole lot longer.If you are trying to protect your family you go find them and make a passage for them to get out. You don’t make a crap attempt to throw a chair then throw haymakers when covered in beer.
He has the emotional intelligence of a three year old. That was clear when he got sent off on his home debut. Things haven’t changed.

Indeed, and although difficult to understand the situation its not a good look to go back after the families are safe.
If we’re honest his Liverpool career is over the moment a lengthy ban is confirmed.
A shadow of a steaming turd?
The last video I posted kind of altered my view of the situation – it does seem that he is trying to push back the Colombia fans just as some women and children from the Uruguay section are trying to get to safety – I'm sure in his mind he did what needed to be done. And he was quite effective at it, to be honest!
But this is another reason why his LFC career might be over already – if he thinks he's in the right, he will feel betrayed by any response from the club that's not a full-throated support and he clearly won't get it. If the club tries to make him apologize to reduce the length of the ban, he will come back a shadow of the player he was, with no confidence or passion.
We should at least be able to get half of what we paid for him.Here’s a thought. What if everyone wear Free Darwin t-shirts in our first pre season friendly?

We won't get our money back, but he's a still young-ish striker. It depends on the length and severity of the incoming ban imo. I think a lot of teams in Spain would take him. With his size and pace he'd bully defenders in La Liga.Jokes aside. Who will want to buy him?
I don't blame him in the slightest. Its all good saying he shouldn't have done that and being all logical when its not our family that is the one being attacked.. If it was my family i'd be out for blood as well.
I think from the fighting donkey and bitey biteuarez we can all agree that Uruguayans are maniacs.
This is the longest and clearest video so far (bottom right of the Tweet). You could see Darwin running from a long way away to join the melee, Diaz's shirt still in hand. It does seem like some women and children in Uruguay colours are passing from the stands onto the pitch and being pelted and attacked, so it gives credence to the argument that he was trying to defend them.
Darwin never seems to make an attempt to find his wife, so I assume he knew she was already safe at this point, but probably other players' family weren't. It's going to be complicated to determine guilt in this situation, but jumping in to protect and deescalate rather than wildly throw punches would have been 1000% better.
