Euro 2020

I, too, found it shocking that they continued to film and not cut back to the studio - we ended up turning it off - but genuinely I think everyone involved was in shock and didn't really know what to do.

Clearly wasn't the right decision, but at the same time I'm trying to remember that it's just as traumatic for whoever's in charge of the match footage. Sometimes when you panic you just default to what you'd normally do. Nobody teaches you how to deal with a player potentially dying in front of you when you're filming a game.

What they do teach you is this: film where the action is. Let's not fool ourselves that footage like this wont generate an enormous amount of clicks. That's how media work, unfortunately. Despairing wife pics alr circulating.

Sometimes the fans just get it... right!

I'm gonna be honest, seeing him awake is a huge bonus.

As a nurse resuscitated enough people to know if theyre awake you're on to a winner at least short term.

Compare to Fabrice that was out for a long time after.

As shocking as the filming was, as a first responder, there were positive things to take from it. I appreciate that’s super niche and basically no one wants to actually see that shit but for me there was a weird reassurance everything was basically going exactly as it should for a positive outcome.

Really really glad for him and his family that seems to be the direction, let’s hope it keeps improving.

It’s all going to end up in training videos.

Honestly, after Foé and Muamba incidents, I would have thought TV channels would have had something in place for things like this. I get it's something we all hope never happens on the pitch ever but it unfortunately does.

I think it's one of those where even if the studio have a system in place, it's used so rarely that nobody knows what to do in the panic.

Great news that he's ok though.

So the game is going to continue tonight at the players' request. Christian Eriksen is awake and stable.

20:30 Danish time is 19:30 BST so that's in 23 minutes' time if I've read that right."

glad he had a shot on target before he temporarily died, the bookies still haven't paid out though.

It's seemingly the player's choice. So if it is then I can't have any complaints. Likely both sides want to finish it for Eriksen.

[jonnysensible]

lets face it, it was a terrible match. I think ill die if i have to watch another 45 minutes of it.

[Doffen]

I legit felt it inside. Just horrible to watch.

Was nice seeing him on the way out of the pitch, life is good.


*clap*

Wasn’t paying attention, but glad to see it. Jee Suomi!

Now time for the ability enhancing drug country to play its first game.

[Acidbaron]

Now time for the ability enhancing drug country to play its first game.

Only going to matter near the end of the second half but yeah...

[jonnysensible]

Now time for the ability enhancing drug country to play its first game.

to be fair their players are all 60 years old.

im on big rom golden boot and belgium to win the tourney

[Nerph-]

There is literally no excuse to keep the cameras on him. Any sort of decent human being, even in shock, would realise that what they're filming is not suitable and they should cut back to the studio or whatever. I think I was fortunate to not see it myself, I wasn't able to watch the Denmark - Finland match, and even things that have been linked to me have been quickly taken offline luckily. That said I hope he recovers.

On a side note, nice to see Belgium starting off with a win.

[Fuiking]

I am not gonna make any predictions but I think the favorites are clear; Belgium, England, Spain, Portugal and France followed by Netherlands and Italy.

lol Netherlands? its decline since.. well 2008 is visible as heck now.. im not expecting they make it.. my feeling: they end up last in there little poule.
