A good day has turned into a sad one my thoughts are with his family and hopefully he pulls through but i am not hopefull
Explains why lads in the 70's, for example, used to go on the piss, turn up, play etc. Really unpleasant, I wish the lad all the best, we all do.
It's on Twitter (I know) they got him breathing in the Ambulance...He's hoping. I'll cling to anything for the lad tonight.
Try not to spread this around until we know it for sure. There are a lot of comments on Twitter but you have to wonder how anyone would be able to find it out so soon whereas no news sources have reported it yet.
Well I aint ever had a heart attack but have had numerous seizures & not one time has it ever caused me to stop breathing. The main reasons that can happen during a fit is due to either the tongue being swallowed or the airways being restricted. I not any doctor but this seems far worse than a seizure. Hope I am wrong & the lad recovers.
If it's true that he stopped breathing from the moment he collapsed, and that they spent 10 minutes+ trying to resuscitate him without any luck, then brain damage would have almost certainly occured and he'd certainly never play football again.
Suggests on BBC Sport that he was still out in the ambulance, that's looking at 20-25 mins at least. ****ing awful mate.
I'm no doc either BDC just looked as if he was fitting. Either way we all want the same end result, for the lad to pull thru. Hope what Connor W is saying is right.
Not true. He was getting CPR the whole time therefore his circulation was being maintained. If they can get him breathing again he could well recover.
Absolutely mate. Wasn't having a go just passing on my own experiences of fits. Then again like, there are many different types.
MONsMush I was referring to Connor Wighams post ( not our footballer) post saying they had got him breathing in the ambulance. Admittedly i didnt realise he had said the source was twitter which isnt totally reliable. Sorry for the confusion mate
Thing is, we just seen about 5 seconds when he was on the ground, with 1 medic beside him. In that 5 seconds, the medic tried to turn him over and he was shaking. I cant remember anything from when I used to have convulsions, you just wake up as if nothing happened, But I have seen my Brother and Daughter in them, and in that 5 seconds of footage, it did look like a convulsion and maybe him swallowing his tounge, But after the resuscitation etc, It does seem to be a lot more complicated than just a Convulsion, but at the time....
