Not sounding good….

Fabrice-Muamba-fighting-for-life-after-collapsing-on-pitch-during-Boltons-FA-Cup-contest-against-Tottenham

Fingers crossed.

No, doesn’t sound good. Hope the fella pulls though.

Hope he’s okay.

dreadful, he was still getting CPR in the ambulance, doesn’t look good for him at all.

It really didn’t look good. The fact he just went down by himself, and not a tackle, suggests something very serious.

….ESPN should have cut the feed waaaaay sooner though.

Agreed Jamie. I thought ESPN didn’t handle it well.

Thoughts are with him, although it sounds exactly the same situation as Marc Viviene foe.

A friend of mine works for a lab diagnostics company that went to the FA with the proposal for testing all registered professionals for sudden heart attack predisposition syndromes (genetic test). The FA said “too expensive” crazy really given the money in the game but the reality is that clubs dont t want to risk their investments in players with the tests. I hope that this is something different.

Horrible, doesn’t look at all good for the lad.

Very scary. Absolutely shocking. I hope he pulls through.

Dreadful news. Hope he pulls through, poor lad.

tears in my eyes her – shocking and sad news

Hospital statement says he is stable.

The hospital are reporting he’s in a stable condition. hats off to all concerned, they’ve done a great job tonight.

Luckily it happened at a stadium with good paramedics on hand, great effort, I hope he makes a full recovery however it’s likely his career is now over, shame he was a good player but stranger things have happened.

Just listening to 5Live, and apparently there was a cardiologist in the crowd, who legged it onto the pitch and went to hospital with Muamba in the ambo.

Wow, some luck considering.

Indeed. That, coupled with having a defibrillator on hand, probably saved his life.

Good news, wishing him a speedy recovery and hopefully it’s something that can be treated.

F-ck me, he is one lucky guy.

Great news 🙂

Fingers crossed he pulls through and reports saying he’s stable are good. I was watching it live on ESPN and I think if they cut the feed they’d have been lambasted for it so it was a no win situation really. They did pull the cameras away from close-ups as to what was going on so they did that right. I’m sure they’d also want the viewers to know he was okay – if that was possible so staying with it for me was the right thing to do. All in all I hope he does recover and lets keep our fingers crossed.

Critical according to latest tweet 😥

Sorry I’ve got to ask

We have an insensitive spurs fan at work and he is gloating that Spurs are now through to the Semi finals…..this can’t be right can it?

Game will be replayed.

Tell him he’s a **** from us please.

And show him this.

Stick one on him from me, dick.

No it’s not right. On both counts.

Steady on chaps.

He will probably be being sedated and ventilated, and likely cooled down for 12 to 24 hours then re-warmed.

Look up therapeutic hypothermia for more info.

No one will be able to give any news, good or bad, until he is woken up and assessed.

Don’t get your hopes up, and don’t despair until there is further news.

Latest is he is Critical and in IC

Good news that they got him going again, hope he pulls through and goes on to make a speedy recovery…

Nice touch by the Spurs fans chanting his name , As much as football gets a bad press 99% are a decent bunch.

Well he’s still holding on this morning. Heres hoping for him.

Poor guy

good luck to him.

fwiw, i thought the spurs crowd showed a lot of class.

A nice piece from Amy Lawrence about the sort of guy he is –

Cripes – not good news at all. Had been avoiding the sports pages so I can watch the 6N games time-shifted to Oz time. Glad I saw this thread.

So 23 year old keels over with a hart attack.
What are the changes that he’s been using EPO or other such substances?

Go hang your head in shame.

Follow your own advice.

Of course we can never know if he was doping because there is no rigours drugs testing in football is there.
