Nowt of the sort marra. In any case mebbes someone would have wanted to donate but simply doesn’t have the money ( been there) that'll maybe help cover them a little bit.He's making the rest of us look like tight wads
There were times when it was playing out that I was taken back to watching Heysel or Hillsborough at the time. Same harrowing types of scenes and commentators put in a horrible position of having to comment, completely unprepared on the scenes unfolding before them.
A lad I played 5aside with sadly passed away a few years ago, unexpectedly. I only really knew him from footy, but still, when something happens that is someone you know it is a shock.
We currently have close friends who are in hospital now with their new born. It’s all heading in the right direction, but again, it’s a serious heart condition with many more months before the bairn can go home. The emotions people must go through when this happens is something I hope I can only ever guess at.

It’s a sign of society today sadly. As soon as it was obvious that Eriksen was not breathing that feed should have been cut and gone to studio. If presenters weren’t prepared for a return, they should have cut to a logo or played highlights.
Dignity is seemingly a thing of the past, what dignity did Eriksen or his partner have? I don’t buy this notion that whoever was in charge of feed was not used to this situation. You know in an instant what is acceptable. And the utter bullshit the BBC have come out with as an excuse is laughable. They were an absolute disgrace.

, all the best for the run.

As soon as we saw them doing chest compressions everyone knew then how serious it was and that should have been it - cut back to Lineker and co. Directors and broadcasters know fine well what to do when a streaker comes on, i.e. immediately cut to the crowd, so I've no doubt they knew what they ought to do in this situation...but chose not to for whatever reason.

No doubt, totally agree. But that wasn't with the BBC..they haven't got a time machine 1 minute ahead knowing what the broadcaster giving them the feed is going to cut to in a split second. It was awful taste to go to her. At least they cut away quickly and didn't come back. But that wasn't the fault of the BBC either. There are loads of people at fault here.
I imagine the bloke in charge, in a situation he's never been in, may have rang his gaffa to ask what to do, who then rang his gaffa, they showed some of it, then cut away to the stadium, then the fans, then the wife for a brief second. It's was madness the whole thing. I was watching and could barely breath or blink. The feed kept filming and BBC decided to stick with it. That's it . Lessons learnt. If there is ever a next time (hopefully not) they may have a contingency in place now .

It's nowt to do with the BBC at all, though the crap they've come out with about UEFA controlling the broadcast feed is a feeble response and stirred it a bit more. Most TV channels are getting comments made about them showing the video. Read through this tweet (many others on twatter so not just a UK BBC thing) and you'll see some TV channels in various countries had the decency to cut away, others didn't. It was clear after just a few mins it wasn't good and he could be dead (or dying) but it went on for nearly 15 mins after he went down. So a bit of common sense would have been enough for the BBC to think to stop the broadcast regardless of them not controlling the feed and cameras as they didn't know what may happen. The BBC let the feed continue for over 10 mins even after he got shocked by the defibrillator.
Not one fan close to the pitch was recording it so at least they showed some respect for the situation. This was a few mins after he'd gone down and you still see the shock reaction from a few fans. I've put it in spoiler in case any knacker decided to say "Why you posting images and then bitching about the BBC? I've posted them and people have a choice to look. They're all over anyway on media websites including closeups of his lass/players in distress but I want people to look at the fans being respectful of the situation and the clear shock on many of them even minutes after
Like I said, some common sense was missing as it was clear that he could potentially have just died. You can see the distress in the fans and look at the players, especially #8 and #19 but they rolled with it.
This was posted by the Danish FA about an hour ago
Do you work for the BBC?
You still being suckered in by the "but UEFA controlled the feed so we couldn't do owt" from the BBC? If someone ran onto the pitch waviing what looks like a gun and started pointing it players and UEFA kept the feed up, would you expect the BBC to just roll with it and then show a player getting shot? As mentioned by many, they can easily cut when other stuff happens, UEFA didn't and the BBC didn't have the common sense to take action themselves yet other stations in different countries did.You only need to look at the reaction in the match thread and social media when it was happening and calls for them to cut the feed when CPR was started. Aye people can turn off but that's not the point. Surely many in charge of broadcasting at the BBC must have had the same thoughts and they will know about the regualtions (regardless of whether they apply) but clearly decided not to do it. They showed the above freeze images up to around 5 mins after he went down. As I said, it was 10 mins after defibrillator the feed stopped but that's only when Eriksen was taken off. It wasn't because anyone had some common sense to cut the broadcasting of the feed, they just had nothing much more to show.

In my opinion, the ONLY 'good' thing to come out of the coverage continuing would hopefully be alerting people to, and embedding in their minds the need for incredibly swift action and decisive leadership in such situations should they ever face them themselves, or to demonstrate this importance of knowing what to do if it is ever needed. This is, again, the only thing I can take some sort of solace from, and I'm not justifying the coverage continuing. I don't think it should have at all. But as it did, there might be some slight positive, and who knows, might in a roundabout way, help to save a life.
I appreciate that this might be a bit controversial, I don't mean it to be, but if there is some good comes out of it, then thank God.
Cutting to his wife etc, however, was beyond insensitive.

You just do what they when they're is a streaker on the pitch. Just pan to the crowd.

It's not controversial at all
I've seen comments on here and twitter that kids have asked what was happening and been told and the kids were fine or wanted to know what CPR was. Others have said it's inspired them to look more into CPR or take more care of their health also so it's not all bad and positives are coming out of it also.

Of course they can which is the essence of what I imagine will be an unprecedented number of complaints to the BBC and rightly so.

Given the state of shock the pundits were in after they'd had time to think a bit, I'm not sure whether they could have coped at all any earlier.
