It looks like they saw he was recovering and didn't want to leave that area of the pitch. They just made a barricade to give him privacy and stop fans seeing exactly what was happening. That was awful to watch on tv imagine being there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo-Jimbo Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Sky news now saying he's awake, in hospital and will undergo further tests. So it certainly sounds positive news, certainly a hell of a lot more positive than when he was lying on the pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzroy Pointon Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 8 minutes ago, martoon said: Don't remember the words now but met a mate before a Hearts game a few years back and he was feckin pissed off with me. I had no idea why. Finally asked him what the problem was and he read out a text I'd sent him the day before. The way he read it out, intonation and no proper punctuation, it sounded awful and insulting. I read it back to him in the jocular way intended and he instantly realised the misunderstanding. Wish I could remember the words etc. but the point is that the written word, particularly if done sloppily, can easily be misinterpreted. I don't know @Cruyff personally, btw, so have no ulterior motive for posting but feel it's worth putting it out there. Thank God the news appears good. Good point. Its like in work when I receive an email I think is cheeky. Usually when I re-read it, it's just the way it's worded or punctuated. I said he had maybe had a few. Apologies to him if this wasn't the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the heart is an involuntary muscle unlike say a leg muscle. If your legs get sore you will stop running. Your heart doesn't get sore so it keeps going, so you could overwork it and not know it. It also only good for so many beats in your lifetime, maybe why a lot of athletes have heart trouble? If they overwork their hearts and burn them out quickly? Or maybe he had some sort of defect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if Denmark feel like continuing to take part, it's quite a traumatic event to happen to anyone. A point each and a draw would be a fair result, but I think UEFA might schedule the second half to take place tomorrow or the day after, if possible, and go forward based on that.

Taffin Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Delighted to hear he's awake and stable. I fell asleep and missed the game, glad I did now, watching Romain Grosjean's crash last year was horrendous, it's horrible to witness something like that unfolding. Wishing for the very best for him and his family.

adambraejambo Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Great news he seems to be Ok. I thought he was a gone and had to walk away from the TV for 5 mins whilst it was happening and let the dog in the garden. When I came back I was amazed they were still live in the stadium. BBC messed up big time there. Wishing him a speedy recovery and hope he and his family have many many good times ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember very clearly when a young player collapsed at a Harrogate Town game about 15 years. when people noticed what was going on and how serious it was we either quietly moved into the clubhouse and others respectfully left. that poor lad didn’t wake up.
