Hope he's ok but fear he may already be dead. Sky news reporters appear to be talking about him in the past tense, "no further updates expected tonight" - why?, "respect the family wishes" and presenter and Strachan on FA cup show with black ties on. I hope I'm wrong, but wonder if some family memebers need to eb told before news can be released.

Didnt Fadiga play for us at one point? and hope he pulls through great shame

Fadiga was also a Bolton player at the time I think, don't have much luck do they.

Hope Muamba pulls through, doubt he will play football again though but at least he will have his life if he survives.

Really hope that's not the case, perhaps it's just treading on egg shells not wanting to offend or bow to supposition.

wife said the same, "they are in black ties, what do they know ?"

Johan Djourou just tweeted that he's just been in to see him and he's still alive: https://twitter.com/#!/JohanDjourou

This whole situation reminds me of somebody I knew once. She was 18 when she died of SAD's (Sudden Arrhythmic Death syndrome). If you're lucky, and you get the correct medical attention quickly, you've got a chance of surviving. She, I'm sorry to say, was not so lucky. Her Brother, a few years later, would suffer the same heart problems. He was lucky, he got medical care in the nick of time.

There is virtually no way of diagnosing it. Often, by the time a person or their relatives realises they've got it, it's too late. In this case, I would suggest that the reactions of the medical team have given Muamba a chance. And, where this kind of syndrome or condition is concerned, any chance has to be more hopeful than having no chance. The tragedy is that so many people have this condition, and can know nothing about it. It's a scary thing, because it can happen at any time, in the blink of an eye. Here's hoping that he can pull through. At 23, he's still got so much to do with his career and his life.

Yes, that happened to someone I worked with. They were only sixteen and didn't make it.

It is a truly terrible thing. That somebody aged 16, or 18, or even 23 can go through something like this. It certainly puts a lot of things into perspective when something like this happens.

CCFC123 · Mar 18, 2012

it looks like he's fighting back... thank god.... football and relegation is f**k all when things like this happens. We all moan about how shit are team is but when things like this happen you know you dont REALLY have a big issue.

johnniericoh · Mar 18, 2012

It makes me feel so proud and thankful when reading the heartfelt response from all SBT's and other sources as to the wellbeing of Fabrice Muamba - it puts all things into perspective that football is only a game but peoples lives are sacrosanct.

Filling up now but thanks everyone - get well soon Fabrice.

Here here, above hope he recovers.

Football often gets a bad press bit at the end of the no matter who you support, we all love the game.

did anyone see bilbao in Europe the bigger day their fans clapped giggs off the pitch and applauded rooney's goal. Respect.

I'd rather spend an evening with a villa or Leicester fan than a non football fan.

Macca · Mar 18, 2012

Surely showing respect as a man is collapsed on the floor potentially dying is the basic standard of human behavior required not something football fans need a pat on the back for .Frankly I would have been appalled with anything less

Brighton Sky Blue · Mar 18, 2012

Good point well made Macca.

speedie87 · Mar 18, 2012

Spot on macca didn't really make my point very well.

Wasn't directed at anyone on here really. Just makes me annoyed when you watch the tv and people praise the fans reactions. I don t see that there is any other "reaction" that you could consider other than showing the kind of respect that thankfully the supporters did. I guess that it's a sign of the times that the media see this as a positive rather than a given. Anyone enough ranting from me, most important thing is the young lads recovery

kg82 · Mar 18, 2012

Fadiga's thing also happened against Spurs, which is really weird.

Hope Muamba's ok, horrible to see scenes like that. It really hits home when you see the players on the pitch looking completely distressed.

Macca, like you said, you would think it's a natural human reaction to be sympathetic and compassionate when something like this happens. But can't you just see someone making a joke out of it.

PVA · Mar 18, 2012

It's not even just fans and players in this country. Yesterday evening Andrea Pirlo dedicated Juventus' win to Fabrice Muamba. Pirlo has never met or played against Muamba but just shows how the whole football world unites.

mexico88 · Mar 18, 2012

I was at the game yesterday on a corporate thing. Still effected me today - My heads in the shed. One of the worst things to see.

BackRoomRummermill · Mar 18, 2012

lets hope he comes through, it is very sad

scroobiustom · Mar 18, 2012

Just seen the Gary Cahill tribute, nice touch.

Coventry La La La · Mar 18, 2012

Cahill reveals the good luck message to former team-mate Muamba during FA cup goal vs Leicester.

Any more news? Trying to watch Iggle Piggle and Uspy Daisy on in the night garden and cant stop thinking of the poor guy. #Prayformuamba

I am one of the lucky ones and was diagnosed with Wolf Parkinson White syndrome during a routine scan three years back. It's one of the main causes of sudden adult death syndrome.

Had it operated on twice, and i'm all good now. It's something you're born with and all the symptoms I used to have, I just assumed were normal and that everyone experiences the same!

Good to hear you're all better, what were your symptoms?

KersleyDigs · Mar 19, 2012

My heart would beat very fast like a machine gun when I really pushed myself exercising, to the point where i couldn't breathe and though I might collapse.

I just thought that it happened to everyone when they pushed themselves and that I just couldn't seem to get any fitter, even though I trained relly hard!

I was being monitored by Charlton and Middlesborough when I was 12, was told after 4 or 5 times of them coming down that "the physical side to my game wasn't there yet", but to keep working as they really rated me skill wise etc :-(

Hear, hear.

If he makes a recovery, what will his quality of life be? I read his heart stopped for two hours, would the brain have been starved of oxygen as a result?

sw88 · Mar 19, 2012

Well he's reported to have been talking both English and French and recognising visitors. Still considered critical though, but it does sound a lot more positive than first feared.

Very positive step i say

Covstu · Mar 19, 2012

Good news he is getting better

Cov City Daytrader 87 · Mar 19, 2012

Spurs players request heart checks after last Saturday's incident.

KersleyDigs · Mar 19, 2012

I always said after my ordeal, if I have kids I will get checks done. Although the condition is not heireditary.

In Italy from the age of 12 you have to have checks even to do PE at school. They have brought cases of sudden death syndrome in the young down by 90%!!!

SkyBlue_Bear83 · Mar 19, 2012

Muamba has started speaking again.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17419654

ExmouthNeil · Mar 19, 2012

Great news....... He seems to be coming through it......

Still very best wishes to him

EleanorRigby · Mar 19, 2012

Heart working unaided and apparently talking. So things looking better but a long way from being out of the woods, other organs could be damaged as could the brain and obviously the heart itself and after all that what was the cause. I think he'll pull through but he's a very lucky chap had that happened anywhere else he wouldn't be here today had great on the spot treatment and as luck would have it a top surgeon from the chest hospital was there at the match, fingers crossed

Joy Division · Mar 20, 2012

Good to hear he is responding now. Unfortunately I don't think he'll ever play proffesional football again if he does pull through completely but thats irrelevant after what he's been through.

Tad · Mar 20, 2012

I wish him all the best, but I've got to admit the media have really annoyed about this. It wasn't that long ago an entire team died (23 players/officials) in a plane crash and it wasn't mentioned anywhere. One bloke in football collapses and the media plaster it everywhere. Again, I wish him well, but the media have really disgusted with this.
