[michael21]

:bawling::bawling::bawling:

look bad to me :bawling::bawling::bawling:

[King Gizzard]

...what?

[King Gizzard]

He collapsed, looks like a heart problem :shocked: Muamba

[Ninastar]

someones maybe died on the pitch

they couldn't resuscitate them is what I heard

[King Gizzard]

That's awful :/

[michael21]

He collapsed, looks like a heart problem :shocked: Muamba

yes i was watching it live hope he come though ok but looking at the player it not looking good

[GiRTh]

Yes. Its happening as we speak. He seemed to just collapse on the pitch. No one was near him when it happened. You could also see his body convulsing on the ground. Very sad.

[Brother Leon]

It's like Foe again :(

****ing hell.

[Ninastar]

Match has been cancelled and fans have been asked to go home

[michael21]

the camera went away that why i new it was bad the game is now off

[Samuel.]

:(

[michael21]

Match has been cancelled and fans have been asked to go home

i had £40 on spurs to win now i feel bad

[King Gizzard]

Doesn't look good

[GiRTh]

He collapsed about 20 mins ago and he's still not revived.

[MTVN]

Sh*t it's crazy, I was just half-listening to the game on radio and heard the commentator say something about someone "fighting for his life", thought they were just talking metaphorically at first until I realised he was actually collapsed and they were trying to revive him :(

It's like Foe again :(

****ing hell.

Yeah that's what I thought of as well

[michael21]

He collapsed about 20 mins ago and he's still not revived.

no 6 mins before h/t i was watching it live :bawling:

[Ninastar]

I just asked my dad if anyone had died on the pitch before

this was a week ago D:

[arista]

Yes. Its happening as we speak. He seemed to just collapse on the pitch. No one was near him when it happened. You could also see his body convulsing on the ground. Very sad.



Yes young 23 year old
he would have passed a medical.
But what recent food or anything did he have?

At least the Fans on both sides clapped the Medical tteam.

This is so Rare and so sad

[King Gizzard]

Been quite a few similar incidents. Can remember Dani Jarque a couple of years ago and Puerta before that

[Shaun]

omg that's horrible, I hope he recovers

[Ninastar]

I remember it happening in Scotland. It was a father and his kids saw it happen

it's just so sad

I really hope he gets better

[michael21]

I just asked my dad if anyone had died on the pitch before

this was a week ago D:

i was thinking its amazing how fit the players must be to play as fast as thy was today i could maybe do 30 mins at that pace

i never seen player look as sad as this

[King Gizzard]

Got a young kid as well. Surreal looking at his tweets now from only a couple of hours ago

[Marc]

Cannot believe it

[michael21]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_association_footballers_who_died_while_pla ying

[Ninastar]

They were still trying to give CPR as he left the stadium. Doesn't sound good at all

[King Gizzard]

Sky news are talking about it as if they kind of know what's going to happen :(

[michael21]

i am a bit in shock now

[michael21]

They were still trying to give CPR as he left the stadium. Doesn't sound good at all

Sky news are talking about it as if they kind of know what's going to happen :(

:bawling::bawling::bawling: :bawling::bawling::bawling:

[King Gizzard]

I don't think it's a question of did physios do enough/see signs of this in the past, there are such occurences as heart problems completely out of the blue without any warning signs, like a couple of incidents in the past

[michael21]

i think there should have a medical centre as all grounds so the player can get treated faster

[Benjamin]

I think the match being abandoned is likely to that fact they probably couldn't save him. :(

[Shaun]

This can't end well, surely, not with a defibrilator and CPR being unsuccessful on the pitch :/

[Brother Leon]

He's so young :(


Keep fighting man.

#PrayforMuamba

[Shaun]

oh ffs, this just came up on Twitter.

sickipediabot ‏ @sickipediabot
Ray Winston has just popped up. Fabrice Muamba to score next: 1,000,000 to 1.

[Ninastar]

He's so young :(


Keep fighting man.

#PrayforMuamba

#PrayforMuamba is the top tweet on twitter

[MTVN]

It was nice to see both sets of supporters chanting his name as they were trying to revive him, it doesn't look good though

I think the match being abandoned is likely to that fact they probably couldn't save him. :(

Maybe, but even if they thought he would pull through I don't think they could continue the game, the players wouldn't be in the right state of mind

[King Gizzard]

sickipedia is a disgrace, always has been

[King Gizzard]

Gary Lineker gets his name wrong on twitter and he's suppose to be the leader Premier League presenter, shows how much he knows

[michael21]

as most of you no i am a spurs fan but i want bolton to win when the match get replayed

[Ninastar]

as most of you no i am a spurs fan but i want bolton to win when the match get replayed

thats really sweet

i wonder what the atmosphere will be like when they play eachother again though

[King Gizzard]

Depending what happens, it will probably be played as a testimonial and wont be for a while I think

[Jords]

Thats awful hope hes OK :/

[michael21]

thats really sweet

i wonder what the atmosphere will be like when they play eachother again though

they will be a lot of respect i would hope from all fans don't no if Bolton next match will be off as well as the player will need time

Massive respect to the Spurs fans chanting his name and showing so much concern. At times like this, football has to take the back seat.

[michael21]

Spurs player Rafael van der Vaart was one of the players on the pitch when Muamba collapsed. He tweeted: "Terrible what happened with Muamba during the game. We're all praying for him."

[King Gizzard]

Hospital have said he is stable, good news.

[Ninastar]

No more news yet don't think

Hospital Statement: Admitted to Heart attack centre in a critically ill condition in intensive care.

[King Gizzard]

Critically ill in intensive care say Bolton

-what KA said-

That sounds worse than stable :S

[Novo]

got to be honest i am expecting to hear the worst reading the latest news reports, his heart must have stopped again after he was stable or something else happened

[MTVN]

Andrea Pirlo dedicated Juve's 5-0 win tonight to Muamba, good to see all the support he's been getting and how respectful the Tottenham fans were, considering how often football fans get criticised.

Also reminds me of Antonio Puerta the Sevilla player who died on the pitch a few years ago, they've been talking about all evening on 606 and apparently 12 people a week collapse playing football from cardiac arrests, and it would only cost something like £35 per player to get all this stuff completely checked out, the FA should check it out

[MTVN]

Also to do that link with words just highlight the words you want and press this icon http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/editor/createlink.gif and paste the link, easier than remembering the code :laugh:

[Callum]

This is so sad :( I really hope he recovers, he's so young.

[Ninastar]

Unconfirmed but a source says that his heart stopped 4 times :sad:

this was on ITV news

[joeysteele]

I hope he comes through this, what a thing to witness happen,no wonder most were really shaken by it.

Was most likely just a sudden heart problem that can happen to anyone, I researched it at the time Dani Jarque died/De La Red had to retire and there are really no signs at all it's going to happen no matter how many checks you get

Yeah there was also someone on the radio saying that for all the checks you can do you can have heart problems that will never be identified, I still think it's worth doing more tests on players though, I think they do in Seria A

[Legend killer]

To dive or pretend to be hurt in the upcoming fixtures should be banned for life and named and shamed. Its bad enough as it is but doing it while a young lad as fighting for his life us ****ing disgusting

Grow a pair FA

[Mystic Mock]

[Brother Leon]

I hope he pulls through,he seems like a nice guy.

I agree with you Legend Killer,but the FA won't grow a pair.

[Ninastar]

I agree with you Legend Killer,but the FA won't grow a pair.

agree with both points

[bbfan1991]

I was doing other things yesterday but came across this when I checked my Twitter, how horrific. I hope Fabrice makes a recovery and his family remain strong for his sake.

Nice how people come together in a crisis such as this!

[Kizzy]

The poor guy, my mothers first hubby passed away at 36 with an undiagnosed heart condition :(

[MTVN]

He's now showing positive signs of improvement apparently, looking hopeful

[bbfan1991]

Good news that he is showing small signs of improvement and well done to the brilliant medical team looking after him:).

[Mystic Mock]

That's good news,hopefully he will be fine in the next 3 or 4 days.

[King Gizzard]

He wont be 'fine' for ages tbh

[bbfan1991]

Just seen on Twitter that some of his friends have apparently told the press that he is speaking again, good progress:).

[Mystic Mock]

It's good to see that his pulling through.

[Vicky.]

This is just awful. Surely even if he makes a full recovery it will be the end of his career anyway? Poor lad.

[Brother Leon]

First thing he said when he woke up and saw his manager apparently

"Did we lose?"

What a man.

I respect him for a comment like that but who in there right mind would play a Football match after witnessing one of the most frightening things that could happen?

Im glad his alright though as I was extremely worried for him.

[Jesus.]

He's still got a long way to go, but really glad to see he seems to be coming back.

[Kizzy]

bless him :)

[Iceman]

Was there any update this morning?

[Mrluvaluva]

Fabrice Muamba is talking and even laughing as he shows further signs of recovery from a cardiac arrest, Tottenham Hotspur player Emmanuel Adebayor has suggested.

The Bolton Wanderers midfielder has been fighting for his life at the London Chest Hospital since he collapsed during his team's FA Cup clash with Spurs on Saturday.

The 23-year-old's heart did not start beating on its own for nearly two hours after he fell on the pitch.

Spurs striker Adebayor told Sky News the player was showing a major improvement in his condition after visiting him in hospital.

"He is much better, he recognises people and can talk (and) that's the most important thing for me," he said.

"We just have to keep praying for him. He is a strong guy and I think he's been through a lot during these two days but he's back to normal and he's trying to talk normal and he's acting normal, which is very important."

Asked if Congo-born Muamba was laughing, Adebayor said: "All African people always have a smile on their face, so we are always laughing. It's part of our life."


Good news. read more (http://news.sky.com/home/uk-news/article/16193023)

[Iceman]

Thats great to hear.

[Vicky.]

This is quite sad in a way. It shows how much he cares about football and his team, when I very much doubt he will be able to play again. Even if he wants to(which I would think he does) it will be impossible to insure him now I would imagine :/

[michael21]

Our FA Cup quarter-final tie against Bolton Wanderers has been re-scheduled for Tuesday, March 27, kick-off 7.30pm.

The original tie was abandoned in the first half following the collapse of Fabrice Muamba.

The match will be broadcast live on ESPN.

i think all the money should go to the hospital


Fabrice Muamba was 'dead' for 78 minutes

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17460781

amazing good job the doctors did not give up and did a professional job

[Kizzy]

Yes a donation by the club would be a nice gesture and to the ambulance service, he was a very lucky young man.

[King Gizzard]

Would hate to work in that London Chest Hospital..amazing people in there..


Heard a good 'un just now

Wayne Rooney has visited Fabrice Muamba in hospital. "It's great, he can almost string a sentence together" said Fabrice.
