Bolton player collapses

[stek]

Sky says he's critical now

[Robinho]

A joint announcement from the hospital and Bolton FC in 15 minutes.

This isn't looking good.

Anything?

[stek]

Anything?

See above Bolton announced he's 'critically ill' in intensive care.

It's on Breaking News ribbon on Sky News site

[Robinho]

Yeah, i am hoping for the best but expecting the worst.

[OwlHoot]

If he stopped breathing for ten minutes, and wasn't in icy water, he has essentially no chance of recovering even if kept alive.

[Robinho]

He would probably be a severely mentally handicapped if it's true that he was out of it for 10 mins.

I would rather see a person die than survive and never be themselves again personally.

Though obviously i would much prefer a full recovery.

Very sad.

[mudskipper]

He was receiving mouth to mouth, so presumably not completely oxygen deprived. Hope he recovers OK, but still 'critical' according to BBC.

[russell]

At the very least he will be out the rest of the season. Hope that's as bad as it gets, a lot of you are doom merchants.

[FiveTimes]

Tragic news, and fair play to the fans for the support they gave.
Also a big well done to the ref who took the players off the pitch when he realised it was bad.
Hope he pulls through.

He was given CPR so oxygen/blood still being circulated.
