Alert and responsive in the tunnel according to the bbc

Tom Lockyer is being taken off on a stretcher by paramedics and club medical staff down the tunnel.

All supporters in the ground rise to their feet to applaud him off.

As it stands, play has been suspended.

Reports also that he was conscious, which can only be a good sign!

[SamLad]

BBC commentator Chris Wise has just reported that they have been told Tom Lockyer is "alert and responsive" in the tunnel.

That is positive news from the Vitality Stadium.

I run marathons with mine but with a very low heart rate.    It’s not possible to play football with a low heart rate.  He will be on beta blockers and blood thinners I presume

Why is he playing then, surely if it was that bad the club would be saying no to him continuing. What kind of insurance have the club got on him I'm wondering.

Comeback is on for Palace

Comeback is on for Palace

Hodgson won't like that.

Second yellow for Ederson for fucking around with the ball after?

Great news, cheers duvva.

He had an operation so medical professionals have obviously considered him okay to carry on playing. No point speculating at this stage.

[disgraced cake]

City's next game after the CWC is a resurgent Everton away, assume the dogs of war will be on Christmas break but you've got to hope they turn up for a game.

Yes, I've just read that now, so they must have been hoping that would have helped him. Fingers crossed for another recovery for him.

Fulham's LB looks handy.  Robinson.  never noticed him before to be honest.

We're still awaiting a decision at the Vitality Stadium on whether play will resume.

It would be incredibly tough on all the players - particularly Tom Lockyer's Luton team-mates.

The clock was stopped in the 65th minute and players have been in the changing rooms since then.

Newcastle 3-0 bundled in

[newterp]

Newcastle 3-0 bundled in

With still no mention that Newcastle has been playing a man up for 70 mins.

[QC]

Palace will have one more shot surely

[coolbyrne]

With the game 1-1, why not just call it and redo it at a later time? You don't even need to do a restart from the 65th minute; just do a fresh game.

they did mention it about 5-7 mins ago, in passing.

Not good news this

[Dim Glas]

Just saw a clip on Twitter of that Ederson foul - he wasn’t sent off for that? 

[stoopid yank]

Bournemouth game abandoned. What happens? Ends in a draw? or replayed fully, or just the the missed 30 minutes or so?

[QC]

Just saw a clip on Twitter of that Ederson foul - he wasn’t sent off for that? 

It will be explained with a series of very strained justifications

The fans?

Should be up to the players/managers.

Most importantly.. what happens to my Solanke FPL points?

[jillcwhomever]

The right decision the players will be in shock after that.

[jillcwhomever]

The fans?

I doubt the fans either will be that bothered in the circumstances after seeing that.

Well it's good news that he's conscious.

[Caligula?]

Come on Palace! A late equalizer would be delicious

maybe players too upset?

I'm not sure what the fans have to do with it.

[mattD]

Alert and conscious I've read. Thank god, here's hoping for a full recovery.

[Dim Glas]

and I’m sure Hodgson will just accept it, unlike last week when he couldn’t accept correct decisions 

[QC]

Penalty!!

[SamLad]

Players from both teams have come out to thank supporters at Vitality Stadium, who will have been equally shaken by the events.

The Luton Town players are being applauded by the home fans, who are all on their feet. It's a nice touch.

Managers Andoni Iraola and Rob Edwards also shake hands and pass on their support for each other.

[farawayred]

Alert and conscious I've read. Thank god, here's hoping for a full recovery.

Good news, hope for a full recovery

[DelTrotter]

PEN PALACE!!

[ThoroughlyMediocre]

For what it's worth, the fans applauded the decision. Common sense call really.

Glad he's seemingly OK, was watching at the time. They learned from Eriksen - once it was clear what had happened, cameras immediately cut away.

[OkieRedman]

Come on lad!

[Dim Glas]

maybe players too upset?

you’d think so. Shocking thing to see, for all, and especially the Luton players, their captain and friend collapsing like that.

 

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

I'm not sure what the fans have to do with it.

Just a reason why those involved may have considered restarting the game.
