I am sure they always happened but its is only in recent times the Clubs medical teams get involved hence the stoppages

My comment was relating to God not being able to save Man U in general and you took it to mean this individual game. It says it all :shrug:

fantastic win by united :flutter:

It started after the covid break. Everyone laughed at me when I highlighted it then.

well lets see where we all are at the end of the season eh

and we are still laughing

In one sense that statement is correct. This is a new phenomenon. The apocalyptic overtones are risible, though. Anyone who has attended football regularly for any length of time knows that people die at matches. It’s just that in the past the game continued on, oblivious to their fate.

After more than 50 years of match-going, I tallied up some of the obviously fatal situations I’d witnessed over the years when health issues caused death. The most poignant one that came to mind on Saturday occurred at Craven Cottage in 2005, during a 0-0 draw between Fulham and Charlton Athletic. Returning to the seat after the half-time interval, it became clear that a man three seats away had turned unresponsive during the break. The stewards alerted St John Ambulance medics and they tried to revive him for 20 minutes while the action continued on the pitch. The vast majority of those in attendance were unaware anything was happening.

Going further back, I recall two people dying on the old standing Kop at Liverpool in the 1970s. Spectators often became ill or distressed on the standing terraces. If the crowd was sparse, police and medics would hurry up the steps to attend to them. For big games, where it was impossible to penetrate the swaying mass, the patient would be hauled up by those around them and passed down over the heads of the crowd to the side of the pitch. The majority of those afflicted were fainting victims who were revived easily. Nevertheless, there were times when the ambulance staff became embroiled in intense attempts to resuscitate people behind the goal. The game went on merrily, without most of the crowd, the players or the referee showing the slightest of interest in their fate.

Sorry, I meant pre cocaine usage in the over 50s.

:laugh:

Errrm? ::conf:

I dont think Arsenal and Man Utd are fighting for the the same league position. Man Utd wont finish in the top 4. I'll call that right here right now. :thumbs:

I never said they were Mystic Meg, your precious Arsenal are bottle jobs so lets see where they actually finish :hehe:

Bottle jobs. OK if you say so. At least we're in a position to 'Bottle it'. Only Liverpool and Arsenal know what its like to put up 80 odd points and still get beaten easily. Man Utd dont. :hee:

lol you lot were crowing about being top at Christmas, didn't last very long now did it :tongue:

I wasn't. Throw those wild accusations at someone who was.

For real, go and find me ever gassing it about Arsenal last year.

Liverpool put up 90 points three times and still lost to Citeh. Are they bottle jobs too? Challenge first then tell all those who have challenged about 'bottling it'.

Correction. Liverpool put up 90 points twice but lost. :thumbs:

but, liverpool did bottle it on those occasions, that is factual

I'd disagree. I 'd say they were beaten by one of the best managed teams in premiership history.

Soooooo


Just heard this snippet on the grapevine ..

Apparently Mikel Arteta plus his back room staff have discussed the possibility of leaving Arsenal at the end of this season !!

Coincidentally Xavi leaves my beloved Barcelona at the very same time ..

Mikel Arteta played for Barca youngsters from the age of 17 till 20

Bet you all called liverpool bottle jobs at half time v messi and his Barca team mates.

Because it's one of two things.

1. Covid itself having long lasting effects on the Human body, which is entirely possible.

Or.

2. It's the Vaccines somehow causing it.

I reckon it's sad old men taking cocaine and getting to worked up in perhaps, 68% of the cases.:shrug:

I'm probably wrong though, but I can guess.

jock stein died of a heart attack in the dug out of a scotland game, long before covid

Pity he wasn't on cocaine at the time, he might have blabbed on his way out.:shocked:

Kyle Walker has apologised to his family for "idiot choices and idiot decisions" following weeks of speculation about his private life.

The Manchester City player admitted in an interview to an extra-marital affair with TV personality Lauryn Goodman.

"What I've done is horrible," he told The Sun, apologising to his pregnant wife Annie Kilner, with whom he has three children.

It follows a turbulent period for the England defender.

The 33-year-old told the newspaper: "What I've done is horrible and I take full responsibility.

"I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can't begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I've tried to ask her but there's pain and hurt."

Speaking out in the hope of giving privacy to his young family, Walker continued: "My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I'm sorry because, as a family, this isn't meant to happen."

Walker and Ms Kilner, who first met as teenagers, are reported to be spending time apart as she prepares to give birth.

"To not be there when she needs me the most, but to know that you've caused that hurt, that's something I have to live with now," Walker said.

The newspaper reported that Walker has fathered two children with Ms Goodman during his marriage to Ms Kilner.

Walker said: "I take full ownership of the choices that I've made that have hurt other people."

In 2020, Walker apologised for breaking coronavirus lockdown measures, telling BBC Radio 5 Live: "They were bad decisions from me at an important time for the country."

Last year, police announced the footballer would not face criminal charges over newspaper allegations that he indecently exposed himself in a bar.

The right-back, recently voted by other players one of the eleven best players in the game, helped Manchester City win the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.

Are they putting something in the water at manchester football clubs?

I mean that again is very much possible.

And I do imagine that genetics will also be playing a part in some cases.

Unfortunately Heart problems are a common way for a lot of people to die.

Tbh I'm dreading the day when my time comes, because it's going to be a painful way of going out regardless.
