Toepoke Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Wonderful, wonderful to see such a busy stadium. Presumably different distancing rules apply there? Potential 2nd round venue for us (if we can travel!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandydunn Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Distressing stuff to see. I fear the worst. The coverage from bbc was disgraceful, pictures should’ve been pulled a long time ago 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toepoke Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Bloody hell. I nipped for a shower and came out to Richard Gordon's somber voice filling for time. Absolutely horrific stuff, fingers crossed for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So amazed the medical staff have literally performed a miracle and got Christian safely to hospital. Hope he can now fully pull through this. It may of course mean end of his playing career but being alive itself dwarfs anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86glebestreet Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 How hard was that for his wife standing watching him having CPR, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Jim Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) I think the BBC should cut their coverage and went back to the studio long before they did. It’s looking promising now, but it didn’t at the time and they were showing his wife being comforted on the touch line. Edited to say, DD had already made my point but never noticed, apologies.

tartandon Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 There's n excuse for BBC not pulling the pictures. Danish tv switched to drone footage above the stadium. So no excuse for BBC not to also switch pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've ever seen as shocking on live television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 An update from the DBU, so much better news than we'd feared... It seems very hollow in comparison but you have to feel a bit for Finland after the greatest result in their history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartandon Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 The Danish manager has said they were given two options - either finish the match on Saturday night or replay the match at noon on Sunday. That is horrific. The match should have been abandoned as a draw. The players will have been traumatised and there could be long term psychological impacts on each of them. Making the teams play when they are potentially suffering from PTSD is not something that should have happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the teams play when they are potentially suffering from PTSD is not something that should have happened I'd thought it was a case of the players insisting they played on, but that's terrible if they were given those conditions. I'd tipped Denmark to go quite far in the competition but I think that's extremely unlikely now, their minds will be all over the place.
