I've just seen that particular moment when Muamba is lying on the ground: I've never been so scared from something related to football. Hope he pulls through.

They were trying to resuscitate him for around 10 minutes on the field. Such a horrible thing to have watched unfold live.
Yeah, no news is bad news.
Not necessarily. If they revive him they're not gonna release a press release minutes after. They must stabilize him and the whole thing can take hours.

For those who did not experience the incident when it happened, there were no players near Muamba when he collapsed. Within 10 or 20 seconds it became apparent that something very serious had happened, and we soon found out that he had stopped breathing. He was treated on the field for almost 10 minutes, with a defibrillator used in an attempt to resuscitate him, before being taken off on a stretcher. Howard Webb took the players off the field, and the game was officially abandoned a few moments later.
The last we heard was that Muamba was on his way to hospital, that he was not breathing and that he was still receiving CPR. That was 40 minutes ago.

Rafael Van der Vaart (who was playing) has just tweeted.

Edit - Sorry, Unconfirmed report.
Images of him sat praying floating around twitter too.
Sometimes player reactions have more of an affect on me than the actual incident does. Scary stuff.
SOURCE?

Source?
I've never seen anything like this. Please be OK, Fabrice.
Is that Defoe? Must be quite close to him...
All over Twitter, allegedly originated from BBC Radio Manchester, but nothing officially confirmed.

Edit- Beaten
Haven't watched any football today, so I watched the score in all games. I saw the Spurs - Bolton game was suspended and thought some idiot in the crowd had done something. Then I read what happened to Muamba. Fuck, guy is younger than me. Please be well. I was going to watch footage of the event, but I can't do it.
Why would you post something like that without a link/source?

There is plenty of unsourced tweets saying this. Nothing concrete.
Irrelevant right now mate.
Just seen this posted - BREAKING: Ambulance crew confirms that they got Muamba breathing again.
Obv no source though.

There is hope for him, the fact that they got the defibrilator out means he must have some kind of beating coming from his heart, as they can't restart a flatline. He looked like he had a seizure and couldn't start breathing, which is a problem a hospital can do a lot to try to fix.

See eerie reading through his twitter
Please be ok lad

Sorry. I'm reading the updates of the lad on twitter. Still I don't see the point in keep posting more about him as long as we don't get new information. Didn't want to be disrespectful.
There is a lot of conflicting information floating around, originating from people who know nothing. It is unlikely we will hear anything until the morning, given that his family have to be informed of any developments first. Think what they are going through right now, given that they are probably based 200 miles further north.
Please don't post/propagate important developments without a source.
He seems like a really nice person, too. Such a shame.

Some 17 year old called Daniel Rodger from Milton Keynes was the first to claim this. https://twitter.com/#!/Mkdan08
There hasn't been a real update for more than 30 minutes...
No one knows.

Messi !! what a goal. The guy amazes me.

Holy crap the goal Messi just scored.
and yes I am aware what is going on, but we are not going to have any further developments for a bit. The problem with heart issues is that sometimes they cannot be detected. Is happened in soccer before, it's happened in other sports and is a tragedy.

This is why people shouldn't post random shit they read on the internet as if it's fact.....

Scary stuff. It emphasizes how silly our bickering is about players and teams when something as terrifying as what's going on right now happens.
Forces an necessary perspective adjustment.

Messi is a genius. Clever little nutmeg and another quality chip, pure class.
