Doyler92

Nothing he just dropped with noone around him.

No reason not to play 2nd half assuming Muamba isn't dead (not watching but it sounds more serious than the BBC5 reporter initially suggested).

Muamba dropped to floor with noone near him

the below suggests otherwise

this is from the guardian

45+1 min After a brief chant of Fabrice Muamba, the crowd falls silent. Nigel Reo Coker is on his knees, resting his chin on his fist. He looks like he has seen something truly awful.

44 min There's a woman crying in the crowd. This is horrific. The whole crowd is completely silent, and medical staff from both teams are gathered round Muamba. ESPN's cameras are not even showing the players anymore. Howard Webb has both his hands clasped together; he looked in a lot of distress.

42 min Fabrice Muamba has suffered a very nasty injury. I'm not sure precisely what happened, but you can tell from the grave tone of the ESPN commentator Jon Champion – and the body language of the players – that it is very serious. Rafael Van der Vaart has his hands over his face, and ESPN's Jon Champion says that there are attemps to resuscitate Muamba. This is awful. All the players are in complete shock

Mars Bar

Oh I feel like crying.

Cantona's Collars

Looks really bad as they are still trying to revive him off the pitch.

Do you not think his teammates might be a little concerned :rolleyes:

Nuri Sahin

Fingers crossed for the lad!

Good call by the Webb to call the players off the pitch too

Raskolnikov

Had to turn over, felt sick to the stomach. I hope he is ok.

dreamers75

Ian Dennis, BBC Radio 5 live's chief football reporter, has just reported that Muamba is fighting for his life.

mike65

Can someone say what they saw? Apart from Muamba on the deck.

Doyler92

Apparently it may be a bad heart attack.

ESPN think it's unlikely that it's going to continue anyway hopefully not a case of sds.

Jaysus!!

carlcon

BBC and ESPN using the phrase "fighting for his life". Screw the game, let's hope he pulls through.

mike65

When I posted up top I going on what I knew from BBC5live, unfortunately they are covering the rugger so only updating during quiet moments.

Just announced game off.

Mars Bar

Game abandoned.

Kess73

Just on tv now that they had to use a Defibrillator on him before taking him from the pitch. Reports saying that he had stopped breathing

MrStuffins

Match officially abandoned.

everdead.ie

Yup game called off Muamba on route to hospital.

iMuse

No way it will continue, very hard for the players to focus after that, Fingers crossed he will pull through

Cantona's Collars

Match abandoned.

Professey Chin

Abandoned & Muamba on his way to hospital now

When the camera showed him on his stomach uncontrollably shaking, instinct was to turn away.

In Mike's defence, the BBC coverage at the time Mike posted just said that the player had gone down with an injury, and made no mention as to how serious it was.

SantryRed

It doesn't sound good lads

stovelid

To carry on the match would have been pretty sick.

OctavarIan

This is terrible, really hope he can pull through.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Anyone have a gif or video of this??


Horrible incident, hope he's okay. Right decision to have the game called off. I think I'm correct in saying it will be replayed in full at WHL?

MrStuffins

This happened pver 20 minutes ago and they just said they are STILL trying to resuscitate him

Raskolnikov

Had to abandon it - the result of this match is irrelevent when one of the players is fighting for his life.

The fact that he said "if he's not dead" was a bit callous and suggests an awareness of the seriousness of the situation.
Out of order in my opinion.

antodeco

Jesus, following all this online. Doesn't sound good. We could never have gone back out with what happened him. Spurs players also in shock. Trying to find out what's actually up from bwfc officially

Heart attack is suspected, they were using a defribulator on the pitch. BBC reporter in the tunnel said Muamba wasnt breathing as he passed on the stretcher. Very very sad and shocking.

Only Mike can answer with what he meant, but I would be inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt on it. I doubt he would have used the same words if he had been aware of how serious a condition the player is in.

He fell to the ground,when the physio got there he was lying on his stomach and was in convulsions, thats it.

LizT

Unbelievable, he's only 23. Hope he pulls through, it sounds to be a very serious situation.

antodeco

Sounds like at least a heart attack, but may possibly be a lot worse. Shocking to see and hope its not as bad.

Kiwi_knock

Absolutely shocking, am praying he can pull through.

He was one of my favourite players when he was at Birmingham, can only hope the strength and resolve he showed on the pitch will carry him through this horrible incident.
