Fabrice muamba collapsed

[eFestivals]

There's talk of postponing Bolton's match at the weekend.

stranger still, they're talking about pulling out of the FA Cup and giving Spurs a bye into the semi.

If the country was run on the same basis then every business would shut down every week due to someone being ill and others being unable to work because of it.

What happened to Muamba is very sad - but for Muamba and his family and friends. It's not any reason for national mourning (particularly as he ain't even dead) or for the world to stop. People get ill and die every day.

Yep, all seems a bit over the top now, i can sort of understand them not wanting to play tomorrow as their heads might not be in the right place, but not playing again at the weekend?

Where does it end, there are reports of them not wanting to go back to white heart lane becuase of the memories it will bring back, so what happens in future league games?

Very sad for the guy and his family and i hope he recovers.

Spurs players have all requested heart checks....

Shows the intelligence of footballers I guess.

If one are work colleagues died in our normal job we would still be expected to be working next day...

I think its more a "in our thoughts" thing. Its an expression. They're not going to come out and say "we're praying to something that doesn't exist for you Muamba"

I don't follow football and have no idea who he is but some friends turned the tv on to watch the second half of the match at the weekend and we were all shocked by what was going on. I hope he pulls through ok.

Neil that story about your old man is so sad but so lovely that he pulled through.

Encouraging signs for the lad. Hope he continues to improve
