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

@wheresmyhairytoe don’t talk nonsense, you can’t tell that yet.

toffeebutterpopcorn · 12/06/2021 18:10

Other matches today - aren’t there? Shouldn’t be played. It’s terrible - so young and fit.

wheresmyhairytoe · 12/06/2021 18:10

There is no way they can continue the game. The players were distraught they can't play on.

freckles20 · 12/06/2021 18:11

@wheresmyhairytoe that's uncalled for. It is not anyone's place to say that at this stage.

Well as they were doing CPR and using a defibrillator I'd say so.

This is how I lost BF. Heart attack whilst playing football aged 30. Brings it all back.

wheresmyhairytoe · 12/06/2021 18:12

I'm not meaning to gossip, I'm in shock. Apologies.

motogogo · 12/06/2021 18:12

Poor man. The feed comes from the home broadcaster, it's a shock, obviously no one realised how serious at first, they don't stop filming for normal injuries.

Poor wife/partner is with him apparently, so sad. Thanks for them

OttilieKnackered · 12/06/2021 18:12

@wheresmyhairytoe you know those things are intended to save a life, right? The person is not dead until medics agree they can’t be revived.

wheresmyhairytoe · 12/06/2021 18:14

My words were clumsy, the camera was on his face and his eyes, at the moment, were haunting.
Like I said, I'm sorry, I'm in shock and wish I hadn't seen it, the cameras should have been pulled away.

Fabrice Muamba pulled through. There is hope

When something traumatic happens it is important to have a place to talk about/start to process it. I didn't take this thread as being gossipy.

Sinister I am so sorry for your loss, and for everyone else who has had a trauma like this.

Ihatefish · 12/06/2021 18:15

That was horrific -his poor poor wife, but total respect for his team mates what they did.

That's exactly it, I was wanting to discuss it, to process it with other adults, not my children.

Sinister, I'm so sorry for your loss.

itsgettingwierd · 12/06/2021 18:17

I've seen the footage now. How incredibly sad. It looked like he just suddenly staggered and fell?

When they went over to him you could see their blind panic. It was clear it was serious.

I haven't seen the programme but if they continued filming and filming the treatment that's vile. Totally degrading and unnecessary.

AlexaShutUp · 12/06/2021 18:18

Really hope that he will pull through. As @RoseAndRose has said, there is hope.

@SinisterBumFacedCat, I'm so sorry. Flowers

Just see this on Twitter. Hoping it's true.

Sinister, I'm so sorry to read this. It must bring back so many awful memories for you.

There are pictures on Twitter of him conscious being taken off the pitch, I hope they are real

wheresmyhairytoe · 12/06/2021 18:21

I've reported my own comment.
I wasn't gossiping or being intentionally horrid, I was and am just very, very distressed by what I saw.

GenderApostatemk2 · 12/06/2021 18:22

If they used a defibrillator on him then he wasn’t dead, a defib only works if it picks up a heartbeat, they don’t jumpstart a heart, they put it back into proper rythym
