Site Supporter Spider Posted March 19, 2012 Site Supporter Posted March 19, 2012 No one knows the full facts yet, but an important correction has to be made here. They are reporting it took two hours to get his heart beating on its own unaided. The two hours previous it was stimulated to keep going via CPR, defibrillators, and other aided means. So it wasn't stopped for two hours. We have to be truly thankful that there surely cannot be a better place for this to have happened than somewhere surrounded by medics with one of the countries leading heart hospitals minutes away. The thought I can't get out of my head is how close we must have been to witnessing this at the Reebok. Come on Fab!! That'll do for me. Positive stuff. Come on Fab. Quote

Flannel Truscott Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Very touching to read some of those message. Found them difficult to read. Quote
Members DazBob Posted March 19, 2012 Members Posted March 19, 2012 im also quite glad i didnt go to the game as im not sure i could handle being there, not knowing what was going on. i know thats probably selfish on my part, for that i apologise. Not at all. I feel exactly the same and was just saying so to a workmate I'm glad I wasn't there. Quote
Traf Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Same here Don't normally do public outpourings of grief as I normally find them very shallow and false This however seems very very different and im sure I'm not the only one still left numb by the whole episode Come on big fella, fight on, fight on.... Hope to awake to the news we all want That's prety much 100% where I'm at. It's just doing my head in, keep reading it. I'm going for a long walk, i think Quote
NorthernStr Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Interview by SKD : http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17431495 Totally agree that thinking about the next game is irrelevant until we know how it goes with Fabrice. Quote
famouswanderer Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I live away from Bolton. At work today people have asked me how i was and told me that they were thinking of me when they heard about fabrice . They have also said they are all thinking of Muamba and praying for a recovery. This is people that have no interest in football what so ever, its very touching. Everyone (not just the football community) is behind the big man, Quote

Loft Nuthouse Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 What a sad do. Watched this on telly at the time and I must say one of the most disturbing things I've seen. Come on lad. Big up to the medics that day, great job. Quote
Athywhite_Mike Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Thoughts are with Fabrice and his family. Come on Fabrice, you can pull through this! Pleasssse Quote
madthatter Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Been out of the country for a while now and stayed up to watch the game. Utterly shocked and like many have said I dont know the guy but it felt like watchin my best mate out there. Well done to coverage on Star Sports who were really sensitive, Howard Webb, and the Spurs fans especially. Brought me to tears seeing them chanting his name like that. Also really choked by all football worlds response to this tragedy. Football as one. Get well soon Fab lad, the whole world is rooting for you! Quote
wovlad Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Much as it was distressing that it happened in so public a place, it could hardly have happened in a better place. Medical staff were on the scene & a cardiologist was in the crowd. Had he been out walking the dog or asleep in bed I fear the consequences would have been much worse than they currently are. They call it the call golden hour with head & heart trauma, in that is critical that medical attention is given during this time, well Fab had medical attention in seconds not minutes. That gives me cause for optimism.. The lad has been a fighter all his life lets hope & pray that he can win his biggest battle. P/S A few big thank you's are owed to the Spurs fans on Saturday who were pure class, to all the players, clubs & fans who showed there respect over the weekends other matches & finally to all those from other clubs ( across the globe ) & the public as a whole who have posted messages of support on message boards. Lets hope our thoughts & prayers are answered. Come on Fabrice, you can do it. Quote
Ben Der Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 we are currently have a mass whip round at work to buy a shirt and sign it with messages. All spare money is going to charity Is anyone aware of any collections being taken by the club on his behalf? I would much rather he/his family choose where it goes than me. Quote
Members bolty58 Posted March 19, 2012 Members Posted March 19, 2012 Watched it live on Setanta down here. Still stunned. Moved by the reaction of the Spurs fans. Kent used the term 'restored my faith in humanity'. Couldn't improve on that. I have been inundated with messages down here from (mainly) Spurs and Hammers fans plus a curious collection of Aussies who generally take the piss out of 'soccer' but felt compelled to pass on their best wishes. Amazing and humbling. The world is with you Fabrice. Quote
Traf Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 That's prety much 100% where I'm at. It's just doing my head in, keep reading it. I'm going for a long walk, i think 7.5 miles and my head's no clearer. All my thoughts are with Shauna & Joshua. #comeonfab Quote
freds dad Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Latest interview with OC about the support they have received. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17433688 Keep praying Quote
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted March 19, 2012 Site Supporter Posted March 19, 2012 I was in Dublin this weekend when I heard the news of Fabrice, it pretty much stunned me all weekend. Its fantastic to see how the country in general has responded to it, the support has been incredible. Lets just hope we see Fab up and about soon enough and well enough to be in attendence at Reebok. Come on Muamba - you can do it fella Quote
MalcolmW Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Apparently Howard Webb should have been 4th official at Wolves yesterday, but was stood down by the PGMOL on the advice of a psychologist who advises them. Quote
onlyoneawalker Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Can't stop thinking about it - hopefully get some news before tonights out god only knows how his family must be feeling. Keeping Fighting Fab's Quote
