Absolutely amazing. So, so pleased to be reading this positive news.

Early days I guess but that has to be a positive sign surely?

Maybe, just maybe, the speedy medical treatment he received has been the major factor in turning around something that could have been catastrophic.

Yep, full credit to the medical staff. 99.9% of the time they attend the football matches week in week out and hardly anything ever happens. Then something happens and they only have a short time to act. I remember watching Seville vs Getafe and saw Antonio Puerta have a heart attack, obviosuly I can't say for certain but I'm damn sure it was because of quick actions that meant he was able to get up and walk to the dressing room. Unfortunatly he then had another attack in the dressing room and died in hospital.

They regularly have to deal with broken limbs and serious injuries in all sports

The police come and go but the medical staff are essential.

Great great news, who cares if he ever plays again, as long as he is still alive, still able to walk and talk, teach that kid of his and enjoy watching his child grow up, that is the only thing that matters here.

Well said mate and thank god for referees.

Yes but I didn't quite mean that. I meant for example take City home games. How often do you see the medical staff come on the pitch and deal with an incident? Plenty of times I've seen them walk to the touchline watching some cheat lie on the floor in agony and then get up as if touched by Jesus. Despite these idiots they have to stay alert and be ready even if it doesn't look genuine.

Football in general. I've seen more fans run onto the pitch due to game watching/pocket-money-for-a-few-hours-of-wearing-a-high-vis-coat-Stewards than I have seen medical staff need to treat players due to a serious incident. Thus what I mean is it's all too easy to switch off, but medical staff can't afford to and so full credit to them.

No, fair point about being early days but having been checking the bbc website on my phone expecting to see the worst for the past 24 hours I stand by my amazing comment!

I agree, and am very happy to do so ;-)
 
Great news about Muamba. It will be a wonderful story if he can turn it around. Shame Liam Kelly's dad wasn't so lucky, what a horrible thing to happen on the biggest day of your career.
