Well, the game is over and LFC lost. I watched the game with at my brother's place with my 4 year-old son. I'm not sure he understands football, but he's seen me jump of joy all season after a goal and he knows who Salah is.
As I was driving to my brother's place, my son told me he'd be very sad if the team in white were to win the match. I was stunned by this and told him that if this were to happen there would be no reason to be sad. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose (my son is a very bad loser and I hope there is nothing more to this than being 4). Being sad, frustrated and mad are not very productive feelings. He did not really understand what I tried to convey, but the loss did not affect him. In fact, he played in his cousin's room for the last 30 minutes of the match and missed the disappointment.
I was very much affected by the result until this morning when I realised what little impact the loss has on my kids. So, for anyone (you know who you are) who is trying to find ways to rob real fans of football of any joy, know this: I feel sorry for you. I may be banned for this, but I have been wanting to write this for a long time. The Internet is the worst thing to ever happen to football and sports in general. It is a haven for little people and narcissists alike. Kicking people when they are down is just pathetic no matter who you support as a club.
Liverpool had a good season which ended in disappointment. Forget Ramos' tweets, Karius's tears were real! The kid apologised to the fans after the game. He may never play a game for the club again, but if your last memory of him are the errors, then you missed the big picture. Everyone can stand behind a keyboard and pretend they have all the football wisdom in the world, but try to hold your hand up in front of the world after they have seen you fail. Don't let anyone rob you of the good memories of the season. There were far too many to be negative today.

I don't know why you would be banned for that. I'm a brit living in Canada. I'm still trying to get my 7 year old to watch the reds. Even telling him half his blood is from liverpool doesn't seem to persuade him . Haha.

What a great post Canadian.
Took me a day to get over the heartache and disappointment.
Now here I am and saying out loud - I hope Karius is at goal for the first game of the season.
Were they terrible mistakes? You bet your sweet behind they were. However. One cannot stand up and sing about you never walk alone and then throw the kid to the wolves. Even after two awful mistakes in the biggest game of his life. He is 24 for christ sake - have none of us never made mistakes when we were that age?!
If Klopp decides to sell him - so be it and good luck.
But, if (like I suspect and hope) he decides to stick with Karius, I for one will be completely behind him.
This is the lowest point in your career Loris, now go out and show everyone what you're really made of!

YNWA (for real 😊)

Spot on, boys. I watched Karius cry his heart out in front of the fans. Seeing him in tear and distraught broke my heart. I felt like running into the pitch via the TV to hug him, to let him know that I forgive him and that I support him cos man, I would not wish this on anyone. Whatever Klopp chooses to do, I'm cool with it BUT right now, Loris needs our support not just as a footballer BUT more as a human being.

He’s not a scapegoat mate. He was culpable.
By the way, I think people who abuse him and threaten him are cowards who should be jailed. That doesn’t mean you can’t have an opinion on him.

Klopp will be under more pressure next season, which in itself is not laughable as he is absolutely the one for Liverpool. However, he will not be able to take another chance on Karius or it could bring him down.

Previous post should read ‘is laughable’. Don’t know where the ‘not’ came from.
