I've no wish to cast doubt on the often serious nature of an ill spectator, but the latest decision by the PL & EFL to stop play - even taking players off the pitch - whilst someone is being attended to baffles me. It now happens evry week somewhere. It's never been an issue as far as know, and God forbid if I ever needed medical help, but the last thing I'd want is 20,000 pairs of eyes staring at me.
Two today already
I wonder if it’s the stress of being back in stadiums, after such a long break.
I know crowds have been back a while, but could the lockdowns, increased stress in some spectators
The anti vax crowd are having a field day at the moment. Relating all to the vaccines
I'm watching with the sound turned down and wondered what the hell was happening. Fulham were frighteningly good for the first 15 minutes or so. Players coming back out now.
I wonder which of the Fulham players performed CPR on the poor bugger who had a clutcher?Quote:

Meanwhile, a huge percentage of the people that actually die of covid today will be unvaccinated.Quote:

judging by report they stopped play as OP mention seems to be happening alot these days
RIP to the fan, did these medical emergencies happen at games as often and weren't noticed as much because the game didn't stop I wonder?
Decent observation there butt.Quote:

Do St. John’s Ambulance Brigades still attend the games?
There will almost certainly be numerous defibs at the ground. Id love to see football clubs donate more to communities given the high profile incidences in football.Quote:

I was watching the game and the commentators quickly picked up on what was happening - even saying that the goalkeeper had alerted the medical staff about the emergency.Quote:
