    Thought the cameras stayed on him a bit too long tbh.Clearly serious and seemed to zoom in on a horrific situation

    Just seen on Twitter that if you get a pitch invader or streaker the cameras don’t cover it but they broadcast to the world a player getting cpr,his wife in obvious distresswithout any qualms at all.
    Priorities eh.

    There is so much play acting with regards footballer getting an advantage but this came right out of the blue, lets hope it's not as bad as it looks, but it doesn't look good when a player is getting CPR on the pitch God bless fella.

    I tuned it off when it was clear the TV was zooming in on a man having a defibrillator applied to him.

    They change camera shots if a streaker runs onto the pitch, apologise if someone near a microphone swears but zoom in on a man receiving CPR. Cut to the studio.

    The medical people have him on a stretcher with a face mask on, hopefully he will be OK long term.

    That was horrendous to watch. Whoever decided to film him getting CPR and air it to the world should be sacked. Thankfully it looks like good news.

    The most shocking thing I’ve witnessed on tv in a long time, why they kept the camera rolling I’ve no idea.
    Producer needs to give his head a shake.
    Prayers to all involved, hope he pulls through.

    Match restarting at 7.30 according to UEFA.

    Seems wrong but players all agree to play.

    Correct decision. Eriksen is stable. Horrible scenes but if the players want it for the good of the tournament then get on with it.

    Im 101% certain Eriksen would give his blessing.

    This just sums up what I was saying about UEFA. They don't give a flying feck about players. They play a compressed season largely with the players not having a preseason so they weren't conditioned for it anyway and they add more and more matches to the season and still go ahead with the EUROS.

    And then this happens which may have nothing to do with it but could very well be because of that and then showing another complete and utter lack of concern on player welfare play the match. They claim the players agreed but I bet they were given little choice much. It was probably playing the match tonight or forfeit it and the countries FA punished for it

    Oh, come on if you think after that the players are in the right mental frame of mind you are kidding yourself. They will have been put in a situation where they have no choice and UEFA as always tries to make out they are the good guys of football, not the despicable pieces of shit they consistently show themselves to be. I remember comments from the Man Utd players when David Busst had that horror leg break where there was blood on the pitch from it about how they weren't mentally able to focus and you could see something similar when Shaw had that leg break that wasn't as bad as Busst

    Bit of a half arsed apology from Lineker about carrying on filming.They could have stopped it a lot quicker if they had wanted.

    As I said on Twitter I think the problem is they were in a bad situation no matter what. People kept watching because they wanted to know what was happening, if they cut away you leave people without that so they are in a sort of limbo. That then causes a situation that allows for social media rumours to run riot.

    It needed the host broadcaster (guessing its UEFA unless Danish TV is running it) to have picked the far away shot from the stands or local broadcasters need to be given access to the individual camera feeds live and in this kind of situation allow each of them to make a choice best for them and their viewers

    They are grown men. If they want to play then let them.

    The question is do they really want to play. Does that goal Kasper let in really look like a top-class keeper who is fully focused. Again we see players who say they weren't mentally right to continue games when there is a serious injury let alone when a player needs CPR on the pitch in front of his teammates. Maybe I'm just being overly cynical of UEFA but nothing they have ever done suggests they care one bit for the concerns of players all they care about is making money while acting like the good guy. I will not be surprised if sometime in the future we see the players talking about it and for it to be revealed that there was pressure from UEFA through the risk of things like fines and bans to the countries FA if they didn't.

    Just seen the penalty save the finish players congratulating the goalkeeper for the save actually touched the ball should have been another penalty

    How do you mean? I've got both games on but not really watching either. Saw the penalty (Which again seemed to suggest that the Danish players especially aren't really mentally there) but didn't really pay attention after it was missed

    Edit: You can tell how little I'm invested right now when I managed to post a second thread for Belgium vs Russia game. I'll sort out the proper one in a little bit. Sorry for spamming everyone with a dupe thread
