It's mental down at Newcastle v Spurs today

[Bouncebackability]

“luckily” it happened in the ground. Hope the fan pulls through.

 

[WBD]

Seemed like an age before the guy appeared with the defibrillator.

Yes. I knew straight away they were asking for 1 of the doctors assistance and they were sitting looking at each other. Bizarre

 

[Caesar]

Well done the players

Yeah quick on it. Grim scene

Mad for Ginola being there

Yes, and a player was pushing him as if to say "move!" he still didn't really respond. Odd.

 

[WalterSkinner]

Can’t even pretend to like Newcastle fans. Possibly the most delusional support in football that believe for no good reason they’re owed the world

 

[Papasmurf]

I’m pretty sure that Steward said “not good”. Really hope the person pulls through

Could easily have been not sure

 

[imager]

I agree with Ginola, kids should be taught First Aid in schools, its a life skill and having the knowlege and confidence to use them can save lives.

 

[Papasmurf]

Yes, and a player was pushing him as if to say "move!" he still didn't really respond. Odd.

Would have thought there would have been one each stand.

 

[Jimnycricket]

Just like Muamba, you hope there are some medical experts in a crowd of that size.

 

[Papasmurf]

Absolutely

Dier had to urge him on. Looked like he didn't know what to do.

Strange to say but they are. If it happened at home theyd have been nowhere near a defib

 

[Macdonsj]

Can sign players for 50m and pay them hundreds of thousands a week

Dont have a defib on each stand

 

[GovanFront4]

Has Ginola had heart issues previously?

 

[onelegwonder]

No real need for crass comments like that with what is happening.

 

[wilso10]

Has Ginola had heart issues previously?

Yes, they used a defib on him something like 7 time I'm sure to save his life.

 

[WalterSkinner]

No real need for crass comments like that with what is happening.

I should pretend I like them? Give over

I can only hope you haven’t read the thread and you are unaware of what is going on

 

[imager]

Ginola was wrong about the Defib, they are easy to use and are designed for a novice to use, they actually tell you what to do and guide you through it, its the confidence to use it that is the difficult bit.

 

[Gardy90]

Has Ginola had heart issues previously?

I seem to remember quite recently him having a heart issue.

 

[VGM]

Instead they get taught fucking Drama.

 

[MainStandLoyal]

Has Ginola had heart issues previously?

Yeah I’m sure he had a cardiac arrest during a charity game a few year back

 

[TimzRFudz]

Yes. I knew straight away they were asking for 1 of the doctors assistance and they were sitting looking at each other. Bizarre

I strongly suspect that the team medics are not at all expecting to have to jump into situations in the stands. Not saying they shouldn't, but I would imagine they would be focused on the playing staff and would assume that stadium first aid staff would be the people responding initially. Probably just took a few moments to register what was happening / get clear comms.

Not exactly an appropriate time to post this.

 

[Gardy90]

Dyer and Ginola having a doctor-off here.

 

[WalterSkinner]

I can only hope you haven’t read the thread and you are unaware of what is going on

Didn’t read the thread. Hope the guy is alright, still don’t like the overall support

 

[onelegwonder]

Has Ginola had heart issues previously?

He had a heart attack years ago

We're all glad for your well timed and tasteful input here.

Defibs aren't even that expensive anymore, fairly came down in price over the years.

Have pressed my boss on fitting out our vans with them, if he doesn't I'll buy one myself.

 

[WalterSkinner]

I read the first few posts and commented. Not watching the game

 

[macaloon9]

No. You shouldn’t comment. Instead you have made yourself look like a cretin.

 

[Tino_Col]

Fair enough. I've got Spurs to win and both teams to score so I am a little tense.

 

[BlueBritain]

Exactly right. I'm not sure asking a potentially emotional Ginola for information was the correct thing to do.

The defibs are incredible. A step by step voice recording of where to put them, how to use them etc.

Absolutely anyone can use them. More people need to know where you find them as well.

For example, most, if not all supermarkets will have one.

 

[Gascoigne8]

Redknapp said ginola was very taken aback during the break then they go and get him to relive that moment

Poor judgement from sky

 

[WBD]

Ginola said he was dead for 12 minutes!

Had 3 broken ribs from compression

 

[Cowan_rfc]

Hope the fan is all right.

Fair play to the spurs players who took more control than the medics.

 

[Gardy90]

What a goal that was.

Newcastle defence is a complete shambles

 

[Whitburnbear]

Wasnt want to derail the thread but theres a few things that are higher priority in Scottish schools these days than things like CPR.
I'll leave it there

 

[blue barney]

Sounds better news there that the person has stabilised and on the way to hospital. A far cry from the 60s with white hankies being waved in the terracing trying to get a medic into the crowd.

 

[Airfix]

Ginola recognised the importance of having that discussion.

 

[TimzRFudz]

Glad to hear they've stabilised the person and taken off to hospital.

The other part of your comment is way off the mark though. The stadium has first aiders, ambulance staff and at least one doctor on duty to look after the crowd. The team doctors are not primarily there to look after the fans.

 

[Moz]

The co-commentator said it's nice to see him stop the play to help. As you worry if the players care about the fans, especially away fans.

Utterly bizarre stuff to come out with. Maybe he was just filling the silence

Yeah I just mentioned in another thread I thought that was in poor taste that comment.

The players aren't robots, of course they care in situations like this ffs.

 

[LOL 133]

No time for racism (but don’t mention the murderous regime).

They kill without discriminating so they're ok.

 

[ibroxbound]

I didn’t mean necessarily right away. Give it a few weeks and they’ll be trying to flog Bruce

A bit drastic. Will it be a public flogging?

Could only really go downhill from there.

No chance Rebecca is much more of a ride
