Apparently being resuciatated on the pitch in Bolton game.

Hope to god he's ok

puts things in perspective

hope he's ok

Poor kid looks like he is in a bad bad way

God bless mate. Pull through .

Hope he pulls through!

dreadful dreadful situation. thoughts and prayers with you mate.

God bless he is in a stable condition.

did he just collapse ,or was there a collision ?

Just collapsed with no-one around him by all accounts. Very similar to the Marc Vivien Foe incident in the Confederations Cup around 10 years ago.

Hope the poor lad is ok.

Felt absolutely sick when I heard the news, relieved now he's stable.

All the best fabrice hope you make a full recovery.

critically ill now at the heart attack centre at the london chest hospital and we are arguing over getting a point today!

Praying. for him to recover listening too 5 live scared to think we could face the same situation in our day to day lives do you think you could help..

our place has a defibriliator and if any driver complains of chest pains it is rushed out in case the ambulance is delayed then the duty manager can hopefully keep you alive in the worst case scenario

I was watching this with two trainee doctors (they graduate in June) and they're both mad keen football fans. It was a bit surreal to hear them starting to exchange diagnoses in quite a detached manner but they called it exactly right. They said his youth and fitness along with the prompt and exactly correct first aid he was given gives him a good chance of recovery but it's unlikely that he'll play sport professionally again.

This has reminded me of the day I was watching West play Morley at Scatchard Lane when the West Lock, John Howe collapsed and died on the pitch.
That was a terrible tragedy and a terrible experience witnessing it.
I hope the lad does recover and even maybe play again, except playing is a distant second in importance at this time.
Good luck son.

People are laying flowers, shirts and scarves at the Reebok Stadium.

Bit strange innit?

What's strange like???

Well he's not dead is he?

There's no need for you to tell me how it's a way of supporting him while he's in hospital before you start too.

If your ma is in hospital you take her flowers, same thing really

It's nothing like the same thing.

I might take her some grapes and a copy of Hello too but I don't see any of them laid outside the ground.

I don't see anything wrong with it and I think it is a lovely gesture by people who obviously care deeply about him as a player for their club. I would like to think that if we as a club found ourselves in a similar situation we would do the same. Reading half the stuff off some of the idiots on here it's clear we would all just say "fuck him, get on with it".

People don't have to die to receive the support of their fans, it's a difficult time and peoples thougths and prayers are with the lad and his family and some feel the need to create some form of "shrine" or focal point for all of peoples toughts, there is nothing wrong with it at all in my opinion, all you need to do is what you want to do and not condemn others for what they want to do.

What a crock of shite.

I haven't condemned them, I just think it is strange that people are behaving in a manner usually reserved for when somebody dies.

Just seem a bit ignorant to me, perhaps you can't help it.

Perhaps I can't. I'll pay the price when I go to hell though, don't worry.

It's all very strange, the flowers are being laid next to a memorial at the Reebok as well, as has been said he's not dead.

I find the whole coverage of it all a bit ghoulish to be honest, why are cameras outside the hospital? Why does anyone who doesn't know the lad need to see his friends, family and peers walking in and out of gate into a hospital. How is that enhancing our lives? They showed his mate Jermaine Defoe leaving hospital yesterday, he clearly didn't want a camera pointing in his face. Step back show some respect, yes wish the lad well but we don't need 24 hour coverage of someone fighting for his life. The people who need to know information will, it's none of our business.

Ignorant.

I fully agree about the media coverage and being camped outside the hopsital, that shouldn't be happening.

Theyve just had a hert screening specialist on Sky News saying that if you want to join a local sports club in Italy, you need to have a medical certificate and insurance papers from your doctor.

He mentioned that the levels of heart-related deaths inItaly are 90% lower as a result than in places such as the UK.

I know that certain countries do do this. I was in France last year and they have the same rule. If you havent got the relevant documents and have manged to register at the doctors (very difficult for a foreigner to do in France), then it is very likely that they may well reduse to allow you to join a sports club.

In the UK, you have the opportunity to play sport by playing at a leisure centre. It might be expensive but at least you have the opportunity.

It would be too much red tape and unopular to intorducethat overhere.

There really isnt such thing as a public leisure centre in France. You either fill in the forms and join a sports club or do indivdual sport. Running is such a popular sport in France and I can see why that is.

Thats 24 news coverage for you, they have 23 hours n 55 minutes to fill as really, reading out boltons statement will only take a few minutes.

You've got sky news and bbc news fighting it out for the best coverage and the exclusives, so they camp outside the hospital to get out, sticking a mic in everyones face who walks past to visit muamba.

It's not right but the demand for instant and constant news in society today has changed the way things are reported.

I just dont watch it myself.

Ok i just flicked sky sports news on, seen the flowers outside the bolton stadium...

Someone had left a easter egg ffs.

Not really one of the gooduns either, just a shitty £1 one from asda.

Don't understand that.

No different to taking some chocolate if your mum is ill, surely?!

i wouldnt take my mam an easter egg, n if i did, it would be a good one, with a mug, n at least 2 chocolate bars in the box.

And Boltons game tonight has been called off.
The guys getting better now, surely nows the time to get back to normality and start playing some foooking football.

It was called off at the weekend Lightning Tree

Did we expect anything less from a 'lovely lovely person' like mr tree?

The Bolton management n virtually all the first team squad hasn't even thought about footy over the last few days as their team mate was on deaths door but hes breathing now so fuck him n let's play footy eh

As I said before, Ignorant.

It could be said that the media coverage and the public outpouring of 'grief' or 'support' (it should be support, but feels more like grief) are two sides of the same coin (in that they're both elements of a process whereby private emotional experiences are forced into the public realm), so to see one as fine, and the other as distasteful, is somewhat contradictory.

Not at all, a shrine at the ground in no way encroaches on his family and friends privacy whereas being camped outside the hosptital sticking cameras and microphones in their faces does.

I'd fine a public shrine being left to a member of my family who was fighting for his life utterly distasteful, get well messages from folk fair enough but it looks more like Anfield post Hillsborough.

My Dad was taken ill a couple of years back and the number of people who spoke to me in a sombre manner as if he was dead rather than simply wished him a speedy recovery really got on my tits.

Apparently his family don't and they continue to thank folk for it so what the problem.

Life goes on you sentimental 'lovely lovely person'
We all gotta go one day but there's football that needs to be played and people who have paid to see it.
Stop being a big foooking girl

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

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.

Nah, they're not that dense.
