Finally, they've cut back to the studio, that took far too long for my liking.

Sky saw fit to cut the cameras away as soon as that Everton player broke his ankle on the pitch. I just cannot get my head round them keeping the cameras on here.

I hope Pukki feels a twat for his earlier theatrics.

I rewatched it to see what happen. He is jogging just slows downs stumbles and collapse.

It looked bad from the moment it happened, just staggered forward in slow motion and went down in stages.

Looked like heart attack. Worst thing was him lying prostrate with his eyes open. Yep far too long on camera. Terrible scenes. BBC need a slap for that

Yup he face had no colour or emotion.


disgusted how much the cameras showed

 

[Evo1883]

Shocking moment , really feel for everybody.

Hope he pulls through

Thats one of the worst things I've ever seen

English ref was brilliant. Can’t believe no de fib or ambulance or helicopter.

I think the medics had a de fib with them.

Agree - although not sure who is responsible for coverage - is it BBC, or is it one service with BBC just adding commentary? Glad the studio had the sense to not try and refer to any of the game, Reminded me of the sense of shock i had when watching Hillsborough unfold. Fingers crossed for him, Unless he recovers, I can't imagine the Denmark team wanting to play another game in the tournament.

Thought there was a defib - he looked like he was being shocked to me (my wife was in tears, as she saw her mum go through that)

 

[hill83]

Looked gone to me. Horrific

 

[jordan210]

Can't show pitch invaders, But show that. Host broadcaster/BBC director need a good kicking.

Me too not quick enough though and surely an air ambulance can take him off to hospital for the best care.

I read muamba’s book. Amazing man. Hope Erickson makes it through

In the past it’s all been one feed used by the various broadcasters. Presume that hasn’t changed. Nothing stopping the bbc cutting the feed though. In retrospect I imagine they already wish they did sooner.

I saw Andy Pearce score that own goal at Loftus Road.

Now’s the time m8

Yeah it’s knocked me that has.

 

[Evo1883]

My face tingled when they started doing CPR .

Not a nice thing to see

In truth they should have cut away much sooner but that's irrelevant now it's been done

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

If it is worst case for him (I really hope not) perhaps they will call the whole thing off. You can’t expect Denmark or Finland to carry on. Then you’ve got all of his teammates in other sides.

 

[Blind-Faith]

Absolutely awful, his eyes were open but he just wasn’t there.

Think seeing when his legs were shaking they must of been shocking him. Hope he makes it

 

[jordan210]

I hope the fact they moved him is a good sign. With Muamba they dint move him for an hour.


As normal procedure is work in situ to revive and only move once more stable.

 

[Otis]

That has upset me so much. I just cried when I realised what happened.

Does look like that is it for him, but somehow wishing for a miracle

Be a powerful statement of what’s important to call it off if he dies. Can’t see it though. Next game kicks off at 8.

Pretty impossible to play the game again or change the schedule.

No idea what the right thing to do is, I imagine Boris will have something constructive to say

Didn’t see him moved but that is a good sign if so

Felt very much like Foe, which I also had the misfortune to watch live, fucking dreadful. Hoping it ends up being a Muamba situation.

Mate I’m sorry. Have a virtual hug

 

[Tommo1993]

Was outside washing my car. Glad I was now, stuff like that petrifies me. Really hope he’ll be ok

Do these athletes train too hard these days ?
Did this used to happen 30 years ago

After muamba every professional sport person started to have a check on their hearts it’s why the young cricketer had to stop james someone or other. It may just be hugely bad luck.

The things you hear about fitness training maybe they do do too much for one heart.

 

[jordan210]

Didn’t see him moved but that is a good sign if so

Looked like they where moving him before camera finally cut away.

I honestly cant believe what I just watched

Think it can happen to anyone at any time.
