I guess she decided he wasn’t a keeper either.

Not really. I just know how big corporations work.
I dont think we are actually trying to discredit Madrid, we are trying to spin Karius as the opposite to a lame duck. Madrid just happened to be on the other side of the pitch.
I think anyone buying this bullshit is weak minded as fuck.
It's a sprightly swan. I have consulted the concordances of antonyms and the opposite to a lame duck is a sprightly swan.
I said it before, I think all things considered it's much more plausible that Karius has actually sustained a concussion after the Ramos elbow to the head than LFC creating a huge and possibly illegal conspiracy to pretend there was a concussion when there actually wasn't. The PR benefit is negligible if not negative, judging by the media reaction so far, but it would be risky as hell – imagine how many people would lose their jobs if we actually faked it and this comes out. It's ridiculous to suggest that a big corporation would take these kinds of risks up and down the command chain to make one employee feel better about themselves.
Oh, and you also said you liked Ramos and his snide response to injuring two of our players in the final. Whereas I think that deliberately trying to injure another player or two during a game is despicable and certainly not worthy of any kind of praise. I'm glad Firmino called him "an idiot" yesterday. Surprisingly, it looks like this story has really got under Real's skin and therefore I'd like to poke them a bit more – appeal to UEFA to ban Ramos for life, for example. They won't do it, of course, but it will be funny to watch Marca go ballistic and Perez's head explode. And strategically it won't hurt to create some really bad blood with Madrid, so they forget even thinking about signing our best players.

I don't doubt he suffered some level of concussion; as said elsewhere it is possibly illegal, at best unethical, for a doctor to issue incorrect medical statements.
But it is a bit cringeworthy as it comes across as excuse making.
That said, the Germans (Bild) bought it, and if it means we get £20M for him rather than a bag of spuds, its worth it, isn't it?
Madrid's reaction to it is equally cringeworthy too; they should just ignore it and gaze lovingly at their 13 pairs of big ears.
So let's say Karius did sustain a concussion – a mild one, obviously, but still. You're the manager or the CEO, your medical department informs you and the player about this – what will you do?
a) Conceal and hide the medical report. If Karius (understandably) wants to reveal this information, try to prevent him from doing so (possibly also illegal since it concerns his own health).
b) Tell the truth, even though some will accuse you of making "cringeworthy excuses."
c) Any other option?
I think the club handled it well.
Fuck it move on
Fuck it move on
Jesus wept.
We should have moved on after the whistle blew 2 weeks ago.
Quite. And the irony is, while striving to paint Karius as anything but a calamity, we're actively trying to buy a keeper.
"He's not really shit! But we bought a new one just in case!"
I'm sure they wish they'd never played us in the final after all this!
What the feck happened to 1-5???
They are ubermench, they dont have 1-5.
I don't think the club's done anything wrong. If Karius has been judged to have suffered concussion, it was right to acknowledge it. If some Spanish hacks react to that - a tad insecurely, I think - as the club 'excusing' the loss, well, that's their problem. It was noted after the win in 2005 that Hamman was playing with a fracture - presumably that would also have been revealed had we lost. I guess if we'd lost in 1965 the club would've had to cover up the fact that Gerry Byrne had a broken collar bone! None of the players criticised Ramos publicly after the game, or any other Madrid player, so it's a bit rich they're now having a dig. They won, we lost, we all move on, but facts are facts, and there's no reason for them to resent them, let alone other people who've nothing to do with it at all, such as Courtois.
It's a shame that all the beautiful football that got us there will never be spoken of again much like 07 on the road to Athens.
I loved how we stuck it to Wordy in the semi final!!
Fuck you wordy fuck you!
But ya move and this may only be brought up as a video montage for revenge when we meet them in the final next year in Madrid.
Great response Macca.
In many ways, I feel like we actually won that final.
Can you list them? Because I actually can't find any silver lining to losing to this shower of absolute cunts who were not even the better team on the day.

I bet you analysis the heat map of your sleeping positions.
I don't know - I said it comes across as excuse making, but I didn't say it was wrong.
Maybe say he had concussion, but don't make a point of linking it to Ramos' elbow, or even the match … but then folks would still make the connection
As I said, I don't know what the right thing to do was, and even if this was the right thing, it doesn't stop it being a bit cringeworthy
You lot are cunts for not giving this more love btw.
I liked that movie. At that time a Norwegian was found good enough to be part of the star team. Those were the days.... we even gave Maggies boys a hell of a beating at Ullevåll!! Can you imagine!!!
