Rte commentator said he saw thumbs up from a medic and I think brady is right there would be bad reactions from the Danish players if the medical interventions hadn’t had some success so hopefully he pulls through.

I'm a bit shook after that. Absolutely awful stuff.

You can be sure it if was a streaker or someone making a political protest that they would have cut away in seconds

Shaka Hislop · 12-06-2021 06:23PM

Bein Sports are reporting he's left the stadium in a state condition..

Yeah there's a photo doing the rounds on twitter of him leaving the stadium on oxygen where it looks like he's conscious. Fingers crossed it's true.

What a horrible thing to see. Still in shock

I must say I became a bit teary seeing the wife being embraced by Schmeichel and another player on the sideline, it took me right back to Paris and Anthony Foley.

RTE Sports news on the 6.1 quoting a Reuters comment that he raised a hand from his stretcher at some point when being borne off the pitch. Lets hope thats correct and that the outcome will be better than it looked initially.

But yeah, not the better of that at all.

Sky Sports News showing that now, he certainly looks concious and is lifting his head under his own steam. Hopefully will do well now.

Sky News now reporting that the Danish FA has released a statement saying he is awake, has been stablished and is gone to hospital.

Phew.

I had a colleague who had a pet possum (it’s illegal) He built a large indoor cage with shrubs and everything. They are pretty vicious creatures and he would regularly come to work with scratches.

On his back? Maybe he found it 'attractive'.......:D

The game is restarting in 15 mins... absolutely ridiculous

My initial thoughts are that that’s pretty disgraceful. UEFA will fall back on “it was at the players requests” but that decision should’ve been taken out of the players hands.

Maybe, maybe not

Players appear to want to resume. Maybe they feel its important mentally to get back on the pitch

Correct...there is no way a player can make this decision...they are still in shock and the game should have been halted

I’m not sure. Players will always say they want to play. Completely different circumstances, but players who take a knock to the head would say the same; there’s a reason that decision is taken out of their hands.

It’s a difficult one. I’m interested to hear the likes of Richie Sadliers opinion on it.

Says who?

Maybe the players actually want to get back out there so let them at it.

And there are circumstances where that decision is taken out of players hand, for good reason. I don’t think it’s a stretch to suggest that seeing your teammate nearly die on the pitch an hour previous might qualify as one.

Larbre34 · 12-06-2021 08:05PM

The Players made the decision. Eriksen even spoke with a couple of people in the camp.

So long as thats the case, belt on.

Clegg · 12-06-2021 11:10PM

Ewan McKenna has been making a dickhead of himself again. Criticised the English side for not holding their press conference in the wake of Eriksen's collapse. Managed to make it all about him.

Throughout the lockdown he's exposed himself as someone utterly uncaring about the suffering of others. Taken on some Gemma O'Doherty vibes recently about lockdowns and testing etc.

You're better off not mentioning his name or anything he posts to be honest. It just drives people towards his Twitter page and gives the sad little gremlin the attention he craves.

aloooof · 13-06-2021 12:12AM

A friend sent me a screenshot of one of his replies earlier which was “I had a friend top themselves lately. Deadline wasn’t extended”.

Even for him, that’s beyond odious. He’s best ignored.

He's not worth any headspace thinking about.

I kind of like him.

Quelle Surprise

Shaka Hislop · 13-06-2021 04:56PM

Yes indeed..the truth is coming out today after the Denmark v Finland game
The players were given the option of continuing on, or playing at midday the next day.
I knew it was a load of shít that the players chose this themselves.... UEFA need a good hard look at themselves after this debacle

Fairly common for a rural kiwi kid to adopt a possum, I knew a few and think my mother did. Though gets difficult once they are fully grown - likely many met an early demise. Also amusing the discrepancy between the way Australians and NZers view them - cute cuddly natives or habitat-destroying tree rats. That article is very Guardian however, some very flawed reasoning creeps in.

Strange to say that the NZ cricket team is better than the rugby team right now! The top players are paid better too.

I really liked the first two series but both suffered badly from covid shutdowns. Loki wasn't as badly effected from what I know so shouldn't have the same issues.

Episode 2 was pretty amazing - very good show. Reminds me a bit of the HBO Watchmen series.

Video doing the rounds of 4 scrotes causing trouble on South William Street last night. The Gardai aren't doing themselves any favours by not patrolling the City properly.

There are permanently Gardai in and around that area now. Either uniformed Gardai or the militarized version trying to intimidate people. They can’t be everywhere at once but I’d imagine they weren’t too far away.

So either uniformed Gardaí or other uniformed Gardaí.

Can we keep comments like this out of the off-topic thread here. I believe it would very quickly descend into the off-limits topics. There's dedicated threads elsewhere for people to express their views on this kinda thing
