You have a choice; donate if you want to and don't if you don't want to.
No need for the hate.

We've reached peak edginess:

Innocen mans life destroyed at football match, has fund raising match organised by fellow supporters, but we shouldnt care, because others' have their lives destroyed also.

Jesus wept.

I don't think that is the what the OP is saying and you are twisting things.

It's possible to have fully sympathy and support Sean Cox , which any right-thinking person should have and to also ask why in society certain cases get pushed hard while others are forgotten about.

Sean Cox isn't a unique case but (thankfully for him) he has much more support than others in the same situation.
I don't begrudge him that and I hope he recovers but we can and should be able to ask questions too. It's not obscene to ask these questions.

Odd that you and others would think this as if we must all stay on script.

Mean spirited way of thinking. Disrespectful title. “The Sean Cox thing”.

Sean Cox deserves a fundraising drive because of his circumstances ; his life was changed in an instant and will never be the same. People identify and emphatise with him as it could be any of us. I don't know Sean, I dislike football, but i donated to the appeal because he deserves every chance to get the best medical attention to aid his recovery.

There is another local go fund me, where a young Dad was injured on a charity cycle and is niw in a wherlchair and his family want to have their home adapted for him which again is costly. I donated to that even though i dont personally know the family, because again, it could happen to any of us.

I agree that there are riduculous go fund me topics- "Johnny was bullied in Mc Donallds- lets send him to Disneyland", but as said above, no one has to donate and we can all use our oen money to support what we personally believe in.

I wish Sean Cox and his family all the best as Sean adapts to his new life and I wish them every success with the fund raising.

If this happened to a member attending your local soccer or gaa club at a match, I'm sure the fans and members of the club would do everything possible to help, I'm sure it would be a big deal to anyone involved in the club.

Its the exact same thing happening now with Sean Cox but on a much bigger scale due to the size and following of Liverpool.

I for one think its great to see the support he is getting from the fans and club, and hopefully it will all help him recover ASAP.

I have a rash on my leg, should I set up a go fund me page

The hatred of Delaney and FAI is ott hysterical and has been engineered to distract the masses from a genuine cause for public outrage: that being the National Children's Hospital.

The media circus around Delaney has all the knuckle scrapers distracted from an actual real financial scandal. "Leo" is pleased.

Go away out of that to ****. You know people can have an opinion on two stories at once, yeah?

Your thread is very mean spirited and says a lot about you so if you think I’m a knuckle scraper for thinking JD is a bit of a bollocks I’ll take it as a compliment.

You not getting this Sean Cox thing says more about you than the insults I can post here... Waster

Again, no disrespect to Mr Cox and his family, I just find people's attitude to this rather strange. I wish him a full recovery. What was done to him was disgusting but it goes on all the time in society.

As Ian Rush said earlier this week, Liverpool is like a family and if something happens to one of them, they try to help out.

Communities tend to rally around members in need. This one is the club rallying around Sean Cox. In Cork at the moment huge sums have been raised for a former cork intercounty footballer battling cancer. The Liam Miller game was around example. You'll find a multitude of other examples this year at various levels.

Not sure why someone cannot "get this".

The difference in this and finglas or where ever is that it happened just before a CL semi final and got a LOT of publicity. The lad has been in hospital for the last year which obviously is very expensive. Liverpool and Roma have tried to do there part as it obviously is something that stayed with them the past year & something that was out of their hands.
Most sports teams would do the same thing which obviously gives it a bigger platform. Sorry if fund raising offends you that much even if there has been issues, most of it is done as the victims whether its animals, the poor or the sick just can't afford to pay huge bills.
