Denmark v Finland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

Basic life support ABC is very easy, it maybe a good idea at the start of a season to take 30 mins before your first training session to go through it, immediate CPR on someone great increases their chances of survival and it’s not hard to do. It’s all about confidence in you know what you are doing. You can go inline and learn it, you can’t really harm anyone if they are already dead so to speak, it’s better to do something than nothing.

I’ve always thought it should be part of the school curriculum once children reach a certain age, I still stand by that, learning how to save people’s lives and recognising the importance of life is a great education.

After my experience, I did lessons at the local primary school and got a defib machine installed in our village.Please all learn how to do this because you never know when it maybe needed.

That's a good idea. I never thought about that.

I don't know the stats but a fella I used to do my accounts passed away last year, his wife said he just dropped to the floor, the Paramedics got there quite quickly and tried to revive him for around 30 minutes without success. I guess Erickson got the best available treatment on the spot whilst the rest of us are left to luck but as you say trying CPR is better than nothing, they should teach it at School.

He may unfortunately had a condition that no matter even had he been in hospital no one can save him, people get mixed up between cardiac arrest and heart attack, however to the naked eye you wouldn’t know the difference if they dropped in front of you, only once a defibrillator (AED) is put on will you find out and even then just do what the machine tells you.

The beeb knows their audience. They got the attention and reaction they wanted and the now generic societal apology afterwards whilst now the casuals will turn in and be talking about it to their friends all week. Job done.

A streaker just gets "tut" indignation and no emotional viewer investment so the apology isn't worth the effort.

Just a marketing ploy and knowing how to trigger their viewer base.

That's a pretty offensive way of looking at it, frankly.

Football commentators are used to watching on after fairly serious injuries, and games almost always continue, so at what point do you make the decision that this is different? As we saw yesterday, they still had to fill a few minutes back in the studio while they queued up another programme - talking about something else clearly wouldn't have worked, but talking about what had just happened was awful.

They wouldn't have had control of the feed, so it was either leave it showing, where the commentator can talk less, or move to the studio where they have to talk about what has just happened. In hindsight, maybe just putting on highlights of the earlier match would have been better, but what felt like a huge amount of time for us and the presenters when they were on screen, was actually just minutes in which someone had to start making decisions. And don't forget the people expected to do this had just watched the same pictures as we had, and like many of us were coming to terms with the shock of that.

I’ve taught it once in a school, there was a push for it a few years ago but it seems to have faded away, Christ I’d do it for free when I retire if they let me.

I suspect it could just have easily happened in training or even down the supermarket......'thankfully' it happened in an environment where treatment was immediate and first class.

Exactly this.
Moussa Dembele collapsed in training for Atletico in March. Different circumstances however (drop in blood pressure), but on face value you automatically fear the worst when something like a player just collapsing happens.

Good on you mate, I’d imagine there’s no shortage of retired paramedics and such people who’d take great pleasure in doing it for pocket change too, a real missed opportunity in my view.

Andy got out of bed, went downstairs and told his wife he wasn't feeling well, rolled his eyes and collapsed, that was his life gone, in an instant.
