I’m suddenly proud to be Finnish

I'm hoping that if he was dead then he wouldn't have that oxygen mask.

Looking better. Come on lad.

My thoughts and prayers to Christian and his family.....

[The Real Buh 3,432]

Lots of unknowns everyone need to remain optimistic but what’s happened is horrendous. The photo gives me hope though.

[Herman 9,765]

Looks like better news. That photo is genuine.👍

[Fuzzar 1,702]

Christ, what a relief! 

[lake district canary 4,531]

Good to see him apparently conscious.  awful to see something like that any time, let alone on a football pitch, was it really necessary that the BBC had to show it all?

Indeed, having trained first responders attending so quickly contributed to this outcome, he will be surrounded by some of the best medical people and equipment available. I am relieved for him and his family. That really was extraordinary.

UEFA EURO 2020 on Twitter: "Following the medical emergency involving Denmark's player Christian Eriksen, a crisis meeting has taken place with both teams and match officials and further information will be communicated at 19:45 CET. The player has been transferred to the hospital and has been stabilised." / Twitter

Other thread appears to have been removed. Pleased to see images on Talksport suggesting he is conscious. Wonderful if this is now confirmed

[Samwam27 527]

BBC now confirming the EUFA tweet. Thank God

No. It was absolutely disgusting from the BBC.

Even had the audacity to get a shot of his distraught wife.

Rightly so, ill judged.

Looks as if the protocols have worked. Amazing job by all the medical professionals at the ground 👍 

[Dean Coneys boots 1,400]

Media should have shut cameras off immediately and gone to studio. Delighted he is alive and stable

There will need to be a discussion at some level of the proper behaviour of cameramen. Why did they feel the need to zoom in on his face on the ground or zoom in on his wife? 

Not BBC responsibility I know, although they could have cut the feed sooner.

That was so rough they’ve gone well overboard and will be rightly slated for it

Thank **** for that

[Ramrod 258]

In the first instance no one knew. The media did nothing wrong IMHO. 

The Danish players surrounding him deserve every credit and Schmeichel is an incredible person.

Agree. I had turned it off. It as wrong to watch but much, much worse to broadcast.

In fairness to BBC, what is shown is beyond their control.

Whether it is shown, however, is and they should have cut the feed as soon as they realised what was going on.

In the first instance, I agree. However, after a few minutes, it was obvious what was happening and they should have stopped broadcasting it there.

[Samwam27 527]

To be fair no one knew what was going on. I don't think you can really blame the media on this occasion.

This isn't the time to start blaming anyone or a witch hunt on BBC, or camera men. Lets just be gracious he's alive

[TheGunnShow 5,940]

He's awake and awaiting further tests. Let's just hope there's no relapse.

Difficult to know how serious things are/when to show and when to cut - presumably the bbc was using the official feed so it’s not the BBC to blame

 

[The Real Buh 3,432]

Should have cut the feed, back to the studio, have them dictate any significant developments

I can kind of understand holding onto the scene of the players surrounding him when you couldn't see him behind the flags and players. But that shot of his wife grieving was absolutely despicable. There was no need for it at all, what the hell were they playing at there? That went into absolute scum territory and it needs a full investigation

5 minutes in and they film the distraught wife. At that point there really is NO excuse.

Even the earlier bits, it was clear from me on my sofa it was serious after 30 seconds.

[Worthy Nigelton 1,047]

Very difficult circumstances for the BBC to get right and easy in hindsight to criticise - I'm sure they meant no disrespect. Just be thankful he's been stabilised. That was really upsetting to see.

[Canary73 160]

I think the question for the BBC was how long they continued to carry the feed. The Danish Broadcaster DR would have been televising the game so they controlled the pictures. Once it was clear how serious it was then they should have gone to the studio which from memory had about 5 mins discussion before changing schedule.

[The Real Buh 3,432]

Once the Denmark players surrounded him and CPR starts that’s it, cut the feed, there’s no doubt what’s going on at that point.
