Same thing if they die and play doesn’t continue?
At least the victims is shown respect and one hundred percent care? If play continues then it’s also harder to clear the area around the emergency. A large section of that stand has been moved and it would take longer if there was a match going on.
Look at how a broken leg kills the atmosphere of a game never mind someone fighting for their life.

According to reports it was [Irrelevant point] who pointed out the medical emergency in the stands.

Watford players are not coming out until they find out what happened to the fan.

I can sympathise with what P-Ro is saying here as I've often hoped he would die in the crowd and it go unnoticed.

Come on, really.

Can't have cpr going on in the crowd if someone has an MI! Need get them out of the ground to hospital ASAP.

Better to stop the game if its a heart attack for sure.
I've seen it happen a couple of times. As long as they are getting the right treatment there's just no need to stop the game. If I decide to pop my clogs during a match (probably due to my pie diet) I would want the show to go on.

State of twitter, people instantly blaming the vaccine. Some theorists will literally take any chance to spout their shite

These stops due to medical issues are becoming fairly regular now aren't they.

I see what you’re saying re the care but if this happened so many times before and we never knew then I don’t think it would affect the atmosphere. If the medics have requested this as a better way to treat people then fair enough.

tbf, they are no more regular now than in previous years, they just never used to stop the games before so it was never really brought up in comms

Now someone is saying that there's fighting in the Chelsea end?
Funny you say this, as my other boys Wycombe were playing away the other week, and there was a break for a "medical emergency".
It then turned out it was fighting in the crowd!

Na no way, not only because the game might get in the way of getting them out and to hospital. Eg across the pitch if it's more direct.

Imagine taking a corner or throw in with someone getting CPR and defibrillator behind. No way can you have that on TV. For the person suffering and the viewers!

I just googled to see if it’s anything to do with a rule change and apparently it was Regulion who pointed out the Newcastle fan and pleaded for the game to stop and it was going unnoticed tonight until Alonso pointed it out and it’s Watford players awaiting the outcome.
Could honestly just be the players taking the initiative

When you see close ups of crowds and see some massively overweight fan, going absolutely ape sh!t at a player, it's surprising it's not much more regular.

You know you are saying this with the knowledge that it used to happen during matches and I don't recall ever hearing about objections to this.

Watching West ham v Brighton. Football is so much better on Amazon. The picture and audio is spot on. Actual crowd noise and no commentary. Perfect. Like being at a game.

If anything there will be more people on the concourse loading up with burgers and beers then there would have been had they not stopped the match (considering this happened in the 10th minute and not the 40th).

What's the point of even watching the Everton - Liverpool game? Why do I even bother? Every time I tell myself that it must be this time that Everton get something against Liverpool and every time it's the same.

4-0 to Liverpool.

First match I can ever recall watching in 30 years with a probable MI in the crowd.

Not a normal thing to happen, any other Chelsea games it's happened before in?

I was going to watch that but the Everton players looked beaten already during the warm up. Not even kicked off yet. Just checked.

Danny Rose on which further locks in the likelihood of 3 points for Chelsea

Didn't they win last season? But yeah, they'll get battered tonight and Liverpool will go top, regardless of the Chelsea match.

Andros Townsend. For the love of God, if there's one game you should turn up for, it's this one.
