Fookin' 'ell.
Minor point, but the fuck are the telly-folk gonna do??

Fuck, I‘ve just found out about this. I watched the first half hour of the game on my work PC, and I just got back home hoping to catch the tail end of the game. Very sad and upsetting, and I (thankfully) didn’t even get to watch it unfold on the screen. I can only imagine how much more harrowing will have been for all those who saw it happen.
So fucking relieved they’re saying just now he’s out of immediate danger

Belgium v Russia also going ahead as planned, k/o 8pm British time.
Guessing the BBC will only screen one match?
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
They weren't due to screen Belgium v Russia anyway, that's on ITV.
E2A: 'ang on, my notes may be wrong

Ah yeah, the Russia match is on the 'light channel' isn't it.

Tbf I'll be switching to Belgium Russia when it starts. The Denmark Finland match wasn't very good.

Could be anything, couldn't it. I know him surviving is all-important but he may never play again, or he might be back in months.

How can the players from any team be in a mental state to play on? They're not machines.
I think that is half right.
Footy player's, like most sportsperson want to play sport. Likely Eriksen wants the game to go ahead.

How the hell do you get fired up and motivated for this game?
Can you imagine trying to celebrate a goal in this atmosphere??

To me it feels similar to a player with a head injury wanting to continue playing.
Sure, of course they do, but at that point it arguably shouldn't be up to them.
The Danish will do it for Eriksen.

Yipchaa!
Feel like it's (understandably) been forgotten, but hadn't we already had two incidents of players actually clashing heads and at least one staying down for a while?

Why shouldn't it be up to them to play on if they want to? It's nothing like a head injury where the long term health of the player is at stake.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
I'm not gonna play doctor, but mental health should be just as protected as physical health.
BBC commentator talking about how it sends a "positive message" to the rest of the world that they're continuing and I'm honestly not sure. What are the motivations that make them decide to play a match so soon after their teammate almost died on the same pitch, and they've been dealing with the aftermath since.
I honestly don't know which way I fall on it, tbh, but equally that does mean I'm not certain it's the right thing to do overall.

I think if the footballers want to play that's good. They'll concentrate on the game hopefully

Apparently he spoke to them from his hospital bed, told them he felt fine and asked them to play on.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Yeah, I read that too. Again, I'm honestly not sure that should make all that much difference, tbh.
But, they're playing, it is what it is.

I know Gazza even at the height of his troubles said being on the pitch was the only place he felt ok, I mean these lads will be in game mode now. They can process the events of the day and maybe visit Eriksen after this is out of the way.

That said Schmeichel would have thrown his cap on that under normal circumstances
