Of course you can overblow the concussion issue. The way things are going, they'll have people playing in helmets sooner rather then later. And that would definitely be going too far.

What would be the issue with all goalkeepers wearing "helmets"...? I guess serious head injuries are funny to you?

I don't think people in general realise how fragile our heads are.

Maybe I'm more sensitive down to a previous relationship with a nurse who drummed it into me? Maybe it's down to having a good friend in Dallas die after he hit his head hard at work, never went the ER, with nobody including him realising he'd been concussed, went home that night (he lived alone); went to sleep and sadly never woke back up?

All I know is you DON'T f*** with head injuries and there's nowhere near enough mandatory regulations in place in soccer right across the board. From big clashes of the head when players shake it off and play on through medical staffs on the field not realising a players been concussed and letting them continue to play and players that have been diagnosed not having a long enough spell out often before they're straight back in the action. Headaches or warning signs be damned. We need you out there **** it!

It's gotten better, but the protocol that should be in place is nowhere near the levels it should be.

He took a knee to the face and had a skull fracture. Not exactly the same thing as bashing heads with somebody.

Why stop there? All injuries are bad, so let's have all the footballers play in full-body medieval plate armor.
 
Jesus Christ, you guys are overreacting with head injuries. I had head injury when I was a kid, hit my head against steel pillar and I'm perfectly normalsdkfasdfals\ .................sg

Certainly would explain the Utd thing .....
 
Being as 3-3 is the current score of the week for both teams, let's enjoy the original two 3-3's.

First Kenny's great '88 side (Biggest regret in football for me. The European ban depriving that side of what would doubtless of been 2 or 3 more European Cups. That side against Sacchi's Milan of the 3 Dutchmen would of been a purists wet dream); surrendering a 2 goal lead to 10 man Utd Easter Monday '88. Funny before the game when they had our players run down the Utd fans the Anny with flowers, and Utd run down the Kop with footballs in a vain attempt at peace. (Hostilities were particularly bad at that time between both sets of fans. And that day was murder after with Everton out looking for Utd too. Happy Easter indeed ..... ). Only for all the balls they kicked in the Kop to come raining back down at the Utd players and Utd fans refuse the flowers the other end.

And then one of the best ever Premiership era games as we came back from 3 down against eventual Champions Utd in one of the single best atmosphere's I've ever witnessed the old place. Even the Manchester Evening News was gushing about the noise and flares on the Kop. Which from the MEN and that absolute *** Meek at the time was high praise indeed. Remember Schmeichel coming down the Kop before kick off and not looking up at all until he went to move some bog roll out the area and just gave a little glance. (Not what's on the clip. Just before that the other side.). And his face was drip white with fear with upwards of 20 thousand baying for his blood! Then Robbie missed a sitter early, and suddenly we're three down within 20 minutes! Then Nigel Clough reappeared after going AWOL for about 3 months and the rest is history. Felt like winning the League, European and World Cup rolled into one coming out after that lol.

If the game Sunday is even a quarter as good as those two affairs we'll be in for something REALLY special.

Nah, but it could explain that part where I said I agree with Liverpool fans.

Mignolet has probably had a few bangs on his head. My time spent watching Liverpool play has led me to believe this theory.

Normally hate the Utd game. (Just get too nervous and been bitten too many times over the years when we haven't deserved to be.).

But really confident we'll lick them Sunday. Can't see us keeping a clean sheet with that meff in goal but something like 3-1. Firmino must be sky high on confidence the minute and if we start like we did Wednesday and carry that momentum over, with the crowd as buzzing, we might well put these back in their place.

Be very disappointed if we don't as this is a very average Utd side.

Have a nasty feeling we're going to go from a high and get brought back down to earth, it's rare that I'm optimistic ahead of a United game, but that's not going to stop me interrupting my Melbourne holiday and dragging my friends down to the nearest pub to watch the game at 1am!

Love that passion from you guys.

Been the other side of the World in the States and had to be up early in the AM around 6 at times to catch a game. But never the opposite end of the spectrum late at night/ the ?VERY early hours of the morning.

Not sure how I'd pace myself the afternoon and evening to cope with that haha.
