Really upsetting. They shouldn't be showing this on TV

Waveifyouknowme · 12/06/2021 17:57

In our prayers, massive spurs fan , thought the filming was inappropriate

MrsGulDukat · 12/06/2021 17:57

Looks like they've taken him now.

Hellocatshome · 12/06/2021 17:58

My 14 year old is watching this with his friends in a friends garden he has just called asking if I will go and pick him up he sounded really shaken.

DysonSphere · 12/06/2021 17:58

They should have cut the cameras MUCH earlier!

ILoveYou3000 · 12/06/2021 18:00

That's one of the most distressing things I've ever seen. His poor wife.

sunshineandshowers21 · 12/06/2021 18:00

i can’t believe bbc kept the cameras on the pitch whilst this was happening. they should have cut the pictures as soon as the severity of the situation was known. absolutely shocking that they chose to continue showing his distraught wife and teammates.

wheresmyhairytoe · 12/06/2021 18:00

This is horrendous, can't believe the cameras didn't cut away sooner there was a clear shot of his face and the vision of his eyes was haunting.

Praying 🙏

MrsGulDukat · 12/06/2021 18:02

@wheresmyhairytoe

His eyes are gonna haunt me. That was awful.

Proper tears now.

Waveifyouknowme · 12/06/2021 18:02

Not surprised hellocat mine are in pieces. I know he is a stranger but doesn't feel like one when their room is covered in posters of him

MaverickDanger · 12/06/2021 18:03

He has a baby the same age as DS who is sat in front of me giggling.

I just can’t comprehend this.

wheresmyhairytoe · 12/06/2021 18:06

I'm actually shaking.

My god his poor wife 😢

ILoveYou3000 · 12/06/2021 18:08

*His eyes are gonna haunt me. That was awful.

I agree. I can't stop shaking. I really hope he's okay.

paniniswapx3 · 12/06/2021 18:08

Just awful, really is ok.

paniniswapx3 · 12/06/2021 18:09

*really hope he is ok

AddisonMontgomeryShepherd · 12/06/2021 18:10

Totally heartbreaking I can't stop crying either. One of the most horrible things I've seen too. I can't believe they kept the cameras on.

LarsErickssong · 12/06/2021 18:11

Gosh this is horrendous praying he is ok.

Monkeytennis97 · 12/06/2021 18:13

Just horrific. Praying for him.

From what I can gather UEFA are completely in charge of what's shown, so that's been shown across the world. Makes it even worse somehow.

His teammates looked so distressed, how do they get over this?

AramintaArrowsmith · 12/06/2021 18:18

This is promising?

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 12/06/2021 18:20

I think there is news floating around he is awake..
Horrible to see.
Seen Fabrice Muamba commenting as well. Must been hard for him!

babbaloushka · 12/06/2021 18:22

Why did it take them so long to cut the cameras?

5475878237NC · 12/06/2021 18:22

I've just complained on the BBC website about how they handled this. They cut to the studio with streakers instantly but for some reason thought it OK to entertain us with this awful moment for a man, his team and family.

LarsErickssong · 12/06/2021 18:22

I was just coming on to say I had seen this picture on Twitter, it does indeed seem promising.

Yep. Imagine if you were his family or friends and you watched him getting CPR being shown to millions of people.

I feel him, his wife and everyone who knows him.
