Showing the CPR is bad enough, but seeing his body convulse when they used the defibrillator was just horrendous. Then to show players consoling his wife. Totally unnecessary. Swedish TV cut the feed when they realised they did CPR and the commentators stopped talking. That you describe is terrible from the BBC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted June 12, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 12, 2021 **** the BBC. As soon as that shot of his face when he's down appears this should be straight back to the studio. Girl runs on the pitch with her tits out and we have an immediate cut to the stands. Guy collapses and we ogle 10 minutes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradd92 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Disgusting they didn't cut that, the camera gets turned away when someone's streaking but they'll show someone trying to be resuscitated to the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just collapsed, has had cpr live on TV. Pretty unbelievable broadcasting when they won't show bad injuries normally. Match called off and I can see them calling off the whole tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's far worse than very poor to be honest. Not only to show that footage but to then take a report for cricket. Horrendous doesn't begin to explain how bad that really was. I truly hope he pulls through. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMitch Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 This is awful and I feel it for Eriksen and his family. I have the same heart condition that Fabrice Muamba and a lot of these athletes who collapse of a heart attack have, Hypertropic Cardiomyopathy. It's not something that's commonly screened for and most people don't even realize they have the condition until the worst happens. The only reason I got screened and realized I have it is because my father passed away from a heart attack 25 years ago. I really do hope he's alright and comes out of this ok.

To be fair, that’s not quite the BBC’s fault. They basically get a stream from the stadium and provide commentary over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Can’t believe what I’m reading. So glad I was having dinner instead of watching it live, sounds horrific and appalling in equal measure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) BBC were just taking the Danish/world feed but yeah should've cut back to the studio way earlier. Shocking doing a close up of his Wife or GF crying on the pitch, completely unacceptable that. Love to anyone Danish reading this (I think we may have one or two on this forum given we've had quite a few Danish players in the past).

MachoFantastico Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 The fact that the BBC kept the coverage going for so long, only to than show Christian's traumatized wife is disgusting and made me feel sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the Muamba one and Setanta or whoever it was back then did the same although they cut to the furthest camera from pitch as possible. Still had the commentary on until Muamba was carried off the pitch as can still remember Jon Champion's very hushed tones. Awful directing as it was obvious he wasn't just going to get up anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
