Stadium collapse

Was pretty minor to be honest, on piece of fencing and a few fell forward.

Reading from Marca nobody was hurt, and only one person needed hospital treatment.

The rest who were involved stayed and watched the game.

Not as bad as that Indonesian footballer who died earlier after that horrific goalkeeping tackle.

There is also this important one.


James Horatio "Jimmy" Thorpe (16 September 1913 – 9 February 1936) was an English footballer born in Jarrow. He played 139 games as a goalkeeper for Sunderland Football Club. He signed when he was 17 after attending Jarrow Central School. He had a promising career, becoming starter for the club from the 1932/33 season. His life and career were cut short on 1 February 1936 when he was kicked in the head and chest after he had picked up the ball following a backpass in a game against Chelsea at Roker Park. He continued to take part until the match finished, but died in hospital 4 days later from diabetes mellitus and heart failure 'accelerated by the rough usage of the opposing team' [2]

This tragic end to Thorpe's career led to a change in the rules, where players were no longer allowed to raise their foot to a goalkeeper when he had control of the ball in his arms.[3] Though Thorpe may be little known, even in the North East, goalkeepers around the world doubtlessly owe a debt to him. The changed rules now says that players can't kick the ball out of the goalkeeper's hands.
 
That is so shocking that Indonesian lad, on the face of it, the tackle is bad, but he's trying to recover his error, and itt's hard to see, with where he caught him, how it's a death.

Awful though.

He died after the game (4 days) - he couldnt afford the hospital fees so by the time his friends took him down it was too late. Internal bleeding and bladder leakage.

Apparently the players havent been paid for 10 months over their, many staff and players having to beg on the streets to survive.
