"Medical Emergency". Play suspended

[A Quiet Monkfish]

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

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?

I think play is stopped because if the medical staff are treating a spectator, then they're not available to treat any players should they need attention during play.

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

They just used to ask if there was a doctor in the crowd.
