I really hope Pools don't do anything like a minutes applause tonight

So do I. But I suspect the lads behind the goal will try and start something and then call us all Kuntz for not joining in.

whoever has the Hartlepool Banter page on Facebook is trying to organise it, they removed my post saying that said applause/silence should be used when somebody has passed away

I certianly won't be, pointless really. I could understand the ones the day after as a show of unity behind the lad but don't think it's appropriate tonight.

I said I personally dislike it.

A lot of folk who have never heard of, let alone seen the bloke kick a football or met him, have poured out a grief and sympathy and a bit of me cynically thinks that they have done it to feel included.

Those who saw it on TV, or in the stadium are understandably going to be shocked by what they saw but the public outpouring of grief and sympathy is still a bit Dianaesque to me.

Worse things happen everyday, and if it was me or you that had suffered a heart attack it would barely get a footnote in the mail if it got a mention at all. While Liam Kelly was busy celebrating Killies Scottish cup final win while his Dad was being treated by paramedics for a heart attack, his father died in hospital taking the feelings of elation away from the players. I've barely seen that event reported yet I heard Muamba mentioned on every TV and radio news broadcast I caught yesterday.

This.

I didn't see it, I haven't seen any reports except what's on the Bunker, and much as it might make me look callous, quite honestly, the episode doesn't really move me.
I wish the bloke luck and anyone else in the same situation.

Tbf it doesn't really matter does? Over the top or not... As long as the lads ok.

Well apparently the lad came to and asked his Dad if they'd lost the game. That's a pat on the back for those who treated him on the spot and the hospital that treated him in IC. clappp

He was apparently dead for 78 minutes according to the Beeb!

Fairplay to him and his medical staff.
