I think Iβve made my donation to the wrong fundraiser. Iβve donated to the team challengeReet, Iβve thought about posting this, decided not to, changed my mind, changed it back againβ¦ 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 couldnβt 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, Iβve felt a bit reluctant to ask for sponsorship for a run loads of people will do to freshen up on a Sunday morning.
Butβ¦
The charity Iβm 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. Theyβve 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 youβll also see on that page is they place public use defibrillators around the area.
βRed 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 outbreakβ.
Iβm not up on the stats, but Iβve seen it mentioned on the other thread how important a minute is when someone has a cardiac arrest. One of these will save someoneβs 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, thereβs a link below to donate to the Red Sky Foundation for me doing this Sunderland 10k next Sunday. I donβt want this to come across like Iβm boosting my own sponsorship, cos I donβt matter, but I have spotted an opportunity when weβre 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 doesnβt think this post is appropriate, but itβs been made with the right intentions.

I honestly don't know why he's getting so much stick.im not sure what heβs supposed to do to be fair. Damned if he said owt and damned if he didnβt. He shouldnβt have been in the position really as they should have just cut the feed.
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.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.
Thatβs 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 remoteβ¦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.
I nearly did the sameI think Iβve made my donation to the wrong fundraiser. Iβve donated to the team challenge
do I need to change it or does it all go to the same place?
Iβve had an email saying Dilli has donated, so all good mate. Appreciated. Thereβs about 10 of us doing it & all of our donations go into the same pot. As long as Red Sky get the money it doesnβt matter the route.I think Iβve made my donation to the wrong fundraiser. Iβve donated to the team challenge

Never mind, Iβll have another bash and make sure it goes to the right event this time. Thanks mateI nearly did the same
I'm guessing it'll still go to Red Sky. You have just donated to a different event
Made o moneyNever mind, Iβll have another bash and make sure it goes to the right event this time. Thanks mate

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.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.
Itβs for a good cause mate. Plus I like to put me own cock ups right. I think Iβm a bit OCD. I like everything done properly.Made o money
fixed it tho@Dilligaf60 has donated twice now. Much appreciated mate, but you can stop now
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.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.
