I didn't hear about the four players dying or the fan collapsing at Blyth Spartans. Were the players professional players? Surprised that didn't get more attention.
Yeah but they were all over the world at a variety of levels. They wouldn't necessarily get loads of press here (not to play it down of course). I think the croatian lad was 23 and I think that was in the press here, just not a big story. The others were from Oman (he was an international), Algeria and the other was Egyptian. I think they were mainly playing in their countries second and third divisions etc.
I see there was another collapse and heart attack at the weekend - Ousmane Coulibaly (Mail international).

Big up James Rodriguez mind for quick thinking and being up on his emergency first aid in the Coulibaly incident https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/talk...cardiac-arrest-qatar-everton-real-madrid/amp/
I see Lee Johnson has said Lee Burge can’t train currently due to heart inflammation and has mentioned COVID and the jabs.
Aye a least the Mackems are providing more heart warming news Johnson should have kept his head beneath the parapet, he has enough problems
Not related to these collapses but two flares thrown on the pitch by West Brom, Sunderland thrown one on, and Rotherham fans threw something which hit the linesman. What a bunch of scumballs. They need to be using the footage to find these knob heads and banning them forever.
Wonder if Covid 19 might be a factor. You never know. https://www.reuters.com/business/he...19-illness-than-vaccines-uk-study-2021-12-14/ https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/hea...ases/coronavirus/heart-problems-after-covid19
It would be a lot higher death toll but for the early treatment, that’s the only positive you can take from all these collapses. We have got better in this regard as we’ve become more aware there is a problem. Very sad that this lad wasn’t so lucky.
