How do you know what he knew or didn’t know?They were already saved when he ran into the crowd. What was he looking to accomplish?
Or maybe he’s the only brave one willing to get hit to save people.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.
Chuck Norris.Or maybe he’s the only brave one willing to get hit to save people.
I know who id want in a fight with me.
I’d be stunned if Klopp didn’t defend himI wonder how Klopp would have handled it – maybe his sense of loyalty to the player would have kicked in and he could try to publicly defend him and if admonishing him in private. But I doubt the new regime will find as many reasons to be loyal.
If you were in a pub drinking your lime and soda when a brawl breaks out, would you try to reach your family and get them out? Or grab a bar stool and launch it at those who were fighting then wade in to throw some punches?How do you know what he knew or didn’t know?
Not to mention the fact if my teammates and fellow countrymen were in danger all logic would go out the window and I’d be in the middle of it.
Instincts take over.
I’m shocked at the lack of empathy here. If someone had died would your view be different?
Who wouldn’t dive in when there is even a hint of one of their own being in danger.
Fuck me.
I’ve been in more fights sober defending drunk friends than I care to ever count and picking up weapons is also something I’ve seen 100 times by people trying to strike fear and drive people back. It’s a very effective technique.If you were in a pub drinking your lime and soda when a brawl breaks out, would you try to reach your family and get them out? Or grab a bar stool and launch it at those who were fighting then wade in to throw some punches?
Or Momo.What I’m taking from this thread is… never go out drinking with Dreamie.

Loads of times at Sunday/5-a-side footy too.Or Momo.

I doubt we'll see him in a red shirt this year. Any ban he gets, as with the Suarez one, will likely be from all football activity.
I just hope we don't see any of the following:
- Players training in Nunez t-shirts
- Seagulls following the trawler in search of sardines
- The team struggling in his absence and the forum breaking out into "if Darwin were playing" alternative realities
The Cantona incident is relevant precedent here. And much as I despised Cantona, I had total sympathy with him until the seagulls quote, at which point I remembered he was a nob and didn't care how long he was banned for.
The difference is that its a CONMEBOL issue and a potential FIFA issue. It could be just an international ban, if given, from what I read so far by journos.
I'd rather they banned him for premier league games.It would be far too convenient if he was banned from internationals and was able to rest every international break
If he's banned for a year or whatever I think we should experiment with cryogenic storage so he doesnt age. It's highly likely that the procedure will fail and he'll die but it's all in the name of progress and it would be worth the risk.
