The TV channels should stop filming football match now. This is wrong

Why can't the TV channels stop filming while a player is being resuscitated rather than commenting on it. I've switched off. Hope they stop soon

Bloody hell where? Really?

Timetopoeet · 12/06/2021 17:58

It's so sad

Glitterblue · 12/06/2021 17:59

I agree. So awful.

BarryTheKestrel · 12/06/2021 18:00

Absolutely horrific. Really hope he's OK.

Purplepeoniesdroppingpetals · 12/06/2021 18:01

Poor man and his family.

BonnyEm · 12/06/2021 18:01

I turned it off. Give the man some dignity. Empty the stadium too

WingBingo · 12/06/2021 18:02

Shocking. Cut to the studio surely.

EdithWeston · 12/06/2021 18:02

It's grim, and of course they should cut away eg to pundits describing the match so far. Resume coverage when the patient is no longer in view and play restarts

dustybluebell · 12/06/2021 18:02

His poor wife.

MoiraNotRuby · 12/06/2021 18:02

Oh how horrendous. I hope all turns out ok.

dudsville · 12/06/2021 18:03

They've stopped. Be easy on everyone. It's a shock.

RoseAndRose · 12/06/2021 18:03

Just checked the BBC news page, and they say their live coverage has been suspended and it's possible the match will be abandoned

Freshandtasty · 12/06/2021 18:04

One of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen. Hope he pulls through

Cocolapew · 12/06/2021 18:05

It was shocking, I hope he pulls through.

speakout · 12/06/2021 18:05

I saw it too- in my local chinese takeway- it was very graphic.

EvilPea · 12/06/2021 18:06

Oh my god that’s terrible.

carcarbinks · 12/06/2021 18:06

That was horrific. Poor man. Just hoping and praying he pulls through.

Smokeymirror · 12/06/2021 18:07

Oh gosh what’s happened ? I saw something on Facebook and switched it over to the commentators visibly upset . Was it an injury? Hope all is ok

itsgettingwierd · 12/06/2021 18:07

Not watching but reading news and it came up.

How dreadful.

I read his team mates made a shield around him to protect his dignity. What grace in the face of something so horrific for them too and so public.

stopgap · 12/06/2021 18:08

I think he had a heart attack. Poor man. I hope he pulls through.

CanofCant · 12/06/2021 18:08

Completely agree. I expect it will be plastered all over the papers tomorrow too. His poor wife.

He just dropped like a stone. No one near him. Just down on the ground and they team circled him as he was treated (looked like CPR). Shocking - I know I was watching but it was just so shocking.

the80sweregreat · 12/06/2021 18:09

I hope he'll be alright. So sad and shocking. He is only 29.

RoseAndRose · 12/06/2021 18:09

UEFA have yet to confirm the match is to be abandoned, but all the commentators are saying that is the case

BBC has switched to a garden design show
