there was a guy but he didn't go on the pitch. Gary Lineker was praising him but the guy replied and said he didn'tadage to get on
SSN and some of the papers were reporting that one got onto the pitch. Shoddy reporting I'm guessing.

"Get on the pitch instead of tweeting you arrogant ****" My sides are splitting, you should consider a career in comedy.
Like pretty much everyone else I wish him all the best and my thoughts are with his friends and family
i thought the first people there, after the team physio, were the St Johns - volenteers ! If that is right then they deserve a lot of credit as i'm sure its something that they come across a lot less then full time highly trained paramedics. I agree with Gymgirl that these people do perform these acts everyday and get very little praise and as someone said thank god it happened where there was a lot of support instantly available. Unfortunataly we can't have guardian angles evrywhere to protect us all from such horrors.
Squibba, think about what you're doing next time you decide to make a joke like that. Come on... Also, gymgirl put's it perfectly:
The st johns crew, whether volunteers or otherwise, are sadly not paid no where near enough for what they do. Let's face it, probably 95% of us will have our lives in there hands at some point.
Effort to quote all of them.. but yeah tweeted him to provoke a reaction, didn't even know what had happened to Muamba at the time so wasn't insensitive.
You purposefully sent a disgusting tweet to a player who is worried about the life of a team mate and friend for a laugh with no knowledge of the situation. That's a load of bollox that you didn't know what happened to Muamba as you told Sordell to get down on the pitch. You make me sick.
Rotherham manager Andy Scott had to quit football at 32 due to Hypotrophic Cardiomyopathy ( A thickening of the heart wall). He's trying to get a screening campaign brought in where players are screened annually and have to hold a certificate to say they are fit to play for that year. Apparently it's already in place in Italy
RIP Jack Kelly, father of Liam Kelly who helped win SLC with Kilmarnock, who died of a heart attack whilst watching his son today. He died from a cardiac arrest, somehow I feel this will not have the same media coverage as Muamba.
Geez I certainly seem to have wound gym girl up. Gym girl I too have a medical background, and I entirely appreciate the fantastic job that the emergency services do on a daily basis. Instances like this which are in the public eye highlight their skills to everybody, especially when medical care is probably something that most people take for advantage. I have helped in emergency scenarios, administered CPCR and been on the losing side. It is incredibly difficult in these situations to keep a level head and more than anything that is what I admire the emergency services for. Perhaps my statement appeared somewhat cliche, however just think how many people have said the same thing as a result of this horrible situation. At the end of the day who gives you the right to make a judgement about me......get a grip.
Well considering Sordell tweeted what happened to Muamba and that the game was going on at the time i assumed Sordell could get access to the pitch. Doesn't take a genius to work that out. If i knew the seriousness of it before-hand do you think i would still tweet it?
So because Sordell didn't know what was going on you thought you would act like Jimmy Big Bollox and abuse him? How am I to know what you would do or would not do, the fact of the matter is that you sent disgusting tweets to a worried team mate who did not know what was going on. Doesn't take a genius to work that out.
I wouldn't bother with her too much if I were you mate. Apparently no other opinion matters but hers :sign12:
Just wanted to see if he replied to be fairly honest, unfortunate timing. Yes fair enough, if i knew what had happened then sent that tweet it would be pretty disgusting? But i am not inhuman, if a game gets abandoned because of a players condition I'm obviously not going to make a joke about it.
i think people should back of squibba. he made a tweet to provoke an ex player into responding unaware that this ex players team mate was having complications. i don't think it matters that they play for the same team, just because his team mate had a heart attack doesn't mean people can't say stuff to sordell
Why? I just don't get why people think they can 'provoke' strangers. He doesn't know Squibba and Squibba doesn't know him so what's the point? The biggest problem with Twitter is it's given liitle scroats a voice and they feel they can say what they want to who they want when sat behind a computer.
You certainly don't have anything to apologise for. So what, if your post was somewhat cliched - it was still totally appropriate and clearly well meant. Sometimes cliches are stil right on!
True.. but i'd have to agree with Maccatwo that some people here are going a little overboard on the matter. If you believe his explanation then the only thing he is guilty of is using twitter as a provocative tool.. and he's hardly alone there. I cant personally believe he would send such an insensitive message if he knew exactly what was going on. I dont think he would do that.. i'm not sure anyone would do that.
He said Sordell should get on the pitch to see what was going on. He's either lying about not knowing he was cup-tied or not knowing what went on with Muamba as if he wasn't cup-tied he wouldn't be able to go on the pitch to play and if Squibba didn't know about Muamba then why would he tell Sordell to just run onto the pitch when a game is going on?
Desperately sad all of this, praying that we hear some positive news about Muamba tomorrow. It is a testament to the emergency services to get his heart working again after 2 hours of nothing. And yes it happens everyday, we are blessed in this country with out health service, it's a truly wonderful service. Squibba, wether you knew or not, provoking a reaction out of a player is frankly childish. Just hope the guilt is eating you up. Gymgirl - Do you have a stick up your arse? Quickly overtaking lizard as the most arrogant member on this forum. And desperately sad news about Liam Kelly's dad. I cannot begin to imagine what the poor lad must be going through.
Have heard that The Sun went with a large image of Fabrice Muamba prone on the floor for their article picture - the man's distressed face very clear to see. The Sun makes me want to cry. Always. Whenever I remember it exists it's for an utterly despicable reason.
You know what makes me feel so smug? It's this, OH and Cheeky (and your sycophantic entourage) You complain about Lizard being abusive, then you resort to the same behaviour yourself, making references to my arse and my being 'on the rag' Your hypocritical behaviour is enough to beggar belief, but your inability to accept constructive criticism compounds my belief that you have a median emotional age of 16 years and 2 months. I don't belittle this upsetting event. I question the responses to it. But I guess that expecting you to understand this was probably a wish too far. I would have responded earlier, but for two reasons: 1. Allow you space to vent spleen and gang up 2. Drinking excellent porter in Reykjavik took precedence.
