Today's Other Games

[christhered]

Aww christ, this is awful

[magicrat]

The way they are talking on ESPN and the fact they were still trying to revive him in the ambulance probbaly means the poor lad didn't pull through. Terrible news

[magicrat]

John Barnes is such a solid, intelligent person.

Fully agree , very articulate

[JagSquared]

Christ, hope he pulls through.

[ScouseJim]

Instances of this seem to have increased so much in last 10 years compared to years ago. What's changed in football that might increase the chances of this?

[Block109'er]

It looks like we're all just waiting for the inevitable news now.

 

This is going to be another sad day.

[redsoxs]

shocking scenes, i pray the lads fine.

[Scott_M]

Shocking news. Hope he's Ok.

 

Wonder what it'll mean for tomorrows games or the competition in general.

[DooooodekNo5]

Fucking tragic stuff , life is such a bitch at times , hope and pray he manages to pull through.

[tenner]

It looks like we're all just waiting for the inevitable news now.

 

This is going to be another sad day.

 

It does look like that.

[1892-LFCWasBorn]

Absolutely horrific stuff.

 

I really hope he pulls through.

[Strontium]

I can't see him ever regaining consciousness.

 

I wonder if our game will even go ahead tomorrow. Not sure I even feel like going anyway.

[Jennings]

Fingers crossed for the lad.

[Trumo]

Echoing everyone on here, I hope Muamba pulls through, but everything they've said so far suggests the news will be extremely grim. I just hope it's more Clive Clarke or Ruben de la Red than any of the names Stronts listed.

[G Richards]

This is sad news. I was sitting here watching the game and then they stopped it as he just went down in the middle of the pitch. The cameraman kept his distance, so immediately you knew it was bad. Then various medics rushed out and you could see various players holding their faces in shock. Then the camera panned out to stadium and crowd shots. The fans chanted his name and you could see different fans crying or in a state of shock.

 

This does not look good at all.

[Edward.]

Positive thoughts.

[Randy Marsh]

I feel absolutely sick. Praying for the lad, please pull through feller.

[lifetime fan]

BBC reporting he's passed away.

[lifetime fan]

They've just corrected that on radio 2 saying he's fighting for his life.

[Lurtz]

Is this Defoe that Bale's comforting here? He did look pretty bloody upset.

 

 

 

 

This is horrific and puts an awful lot of things into perspective on here and in football in general. Really hoping the lad pulls through. YNWA.

[TheBitch]

This happened to a lad I played footy with. I wasn't playing that day though. Not that that had anything to do with it, like.

[Edward.]

Did say it was Defoe on the radio.

[Phoenix]

Sad news. as someone said we are waiting for inevitable news by the sounds of it.. unconcious for so long and not breathing. Cant see a positive.

[lifetime fan]

I can't see him ever regaining consciousness.

 

I wonder if our game will even go ahead tomorrow. Not sure I even feel like going anyway.

 

If he does he may well have some brain injury as a result of a lack of oxygen.

[Scott_M]

Did this happen to a lad we let go a couple of years ago?
