Reet, I’ve thought about posting this, decided not to, changed my mind, changed it back again… a few times.

I was watching the match yesterday & felt that sick feeling most on here commented on when Eriksen was on the floor receiving treatment. Half felt like I should turn off the telly out of respect, half couldn’t stop watching. The common consensus that the swift medical intervention & use of the defibrillator saved his life.

Anyhow, I was roped into doing the Sunderland 10k next Sunday. In a world where people are raising funds at 100yr old by walking on Zimmer frames, climbing the worlds highest peaks or running 30 marathons in 30 days, I’ve felt a bit reluctant to ask for sponsorship for a run loads of people will do to freshen up on a Sunday morning.

But…

The charity I’m doing it for is the Red Sky Foundation, a local charity started by a Sunderland couple after their daughter was born with a serious heart condition. They’ve raised a shit ton of money for various equipment at local hospitals, software & staff salaries doubtless improving & saving lives along the way. Find out more here

What you’ll also see on that page is they place public use defibrillators around the area.

“Red Sky Foundation continues to fund life-saving defibrillators in public areas across the North East of England. And an emergency purchase of 23 devices were made for Sunderland Royal Hospital in the fight against the coronavirus outbreak”.

I’m not up on the stats, but I’ve seen it mentioned on the other thread how important a minute is when someone has a cardiac arrest. One of these will save someone’s life. I need to do first aid training & a refresher of CPR, what happened yesterday was horrible, but it will raise a load of positives such as people being proactive on the subject & upskilling.

So, with all of this in mind, there’s a link below to donate to the Red Sky Foundation for me doing this Sunderland 10k next Sunday. I don’t want this to come across like I’m boosting my own sponsorship, cos I don’t matter, but I have spotted an opportunity when we’re all gripped emotionally by what happened yesterday & coincidentally, I can help & this will benefit the charity that does fantastic work locally.

Any amounts help lads & lasses.

Apologies to anyone who doesn’t think this post is appropriate, but it’s been made with the right intentions.

I think I’ve made my donation to the wrong fundraiser. I’ve donated to the team challenge :oops::oops:
do I need to change it or does it all go to the same place?

im not sure what he’s supposed to do to be fair. Damned if he said owt and damned if he didn’t. He shouldn’t have been in the position really as they should have just cut the feed.

I honestly don't know why he's getting so much stick.

I watched it back yesterday and neither him nor Keown said anything remotely disrespectful.

If anything they did a fairly impressive job considering what they were witnessing.

The stick he is getting is ridiculous, he was in a position he never thought he'd ever be in. I bet it was really hard for him.

My wife and daughter left the room - my son covered his face.
I watched it because strangely I felt I had to stay with the lad.
I know that sounds daft and it was miles away but I just felt I was doing something.

That’s the conundrum I felt afterwards, I was willing him to pull thru and had everything crossed, I feel like the bbc should have pulled away from the feed but then I could have done that myself with the tv remote…

I nearly did the same 😂

I'm guessing it'll still go to Red Sky. You have just donated to a different fundraising event

I’ve had an email saying Dilli has donated, so all good mate. Appreciated. There’s about 10 of us doing it & all of our donations go into the same pot. As long as Red Sky get the money it doesn’t matter the route.

Cheers.

I don't want anyone sacked or even an apology really, but ha'way zooming in on his face, getting close shots of the players surrounding him clearly in bits and showing his lass was all terrible.

That would have been down to the director of whichever TV company was filming it, choosing those particular shots over a wide shot from the other side of the pitch.

All the BBC could have done was to cut back to the studio earlier, they had no other control over the broadcast pictures.

why does it bother so many people? what do you want to see happen, other than an apology? i've seen posts on FB demanding 'someone' gets sacked

in hindsight it was a poor decision and very poor taste to continue the broadcast. a proper fuck up. but in the defence of who was making the decision, its pretty unprecedented, high pressure, and time seemed to stand still. they obviously shit themsleves and didnt want to turn it off as millions of viewers were gripped by it.

its typical of an enquiry looking in hindsight at high pressure incident. its easy to say 'at this point they should have done x,y,z' but thats not how humans work in these situations. the first 3 minutes were probably just watching in silence and the feed was playing, then someone decided to not film the paramedics but continue the footage of just around the stadium. probably not enough for the bbc bloke to pull the feed as it wasnt really showing anything traumatic, it was just staying with it. then all of a sudden the camera man goes to the crying wife, after 5 minutes of sombre panning around the ground, not really knowing what to do

i love all these investigators after the incident picking through it with a fine tooth comb, totally ignoring the human side of decision making

like i said, it was poor taste and a poor decision in hindsight. but i just dont get the outrage.

At some point, someone is going to have said "cut to the wife". His partner who for all Inents and purpose was watching her husband and father of their children die in front of her. That's not "live TV", its f***ing Snuff.

There is no comparison to be made here between something like 9/11 or the like.
A) Its a f***ing football match. Its meaningless. Nobody needs to see it. On top of that, it was a personal medical emergency. Nobody had a right to see it anymore than they have a right to see you or I undergo a physical emergency.
B) Even in those must see world changing moments, there is usually a sense of decorum and propriety to the coverage. Not zooming in on the people suffering or dying in the midst of it all.

I *loathe* this notion that in high pressure situations people are not responsible for their actions. In most jobs there are codes of conduct which make it clear that certain things are unacceptable in any circumstance. Most people act in accordance with these and face consequences if they dont. There is no reason this should be any different.
