Or is it just that matches are being stopped now when something occurs? I'm sure someone posted that in previous seasons the game went on during these incidents but now the game is stopped while the person gets medical treatment.

No idea what the stats would be but there are hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of fans attending matches each week. In an environment where alcohol, and possibly drugs, are consumed and people are getting excited or angry over what is happening on the pitch then there are always going to be people that have medical emergencies, whether that is due to falling down steps while drunk or having a heart attack. What I don't understand is why nearly all of the reports are coming from football crowds. I haven't heard of any from rugby matches or other sports.

Do rugby fans get as irate at matches as football fans?

Another crowd medical emergency.... Nearly 1 a week at the moment. Got to be covid or covid jab related surely.

Or a couple years under lockdown and semi lockdown conditions made peoples bodies not as in good condition as before

My physio is getting more and more work on people who have strained abnormal muscles.. for example I did my hip flex.. he said he normally gets 1 a year and when he was treating mine he had 10 people will this condition.

Maybe all those Stone Island clad overweight middle aged men need to lay off the marching powder and booze along with stopping getting themselves so wound up at football matches. It’s clearly not doing their health any good.
 
That was harder than it needed to be at Anfield but got the job done. Managed to catch the penalties at Wigan as I've a mate who is a big Sutton fan and well pleased they reached Wembley in their first season. Think he's getting me a ticket so will be a grand day out
 
Mad game last night, we were a bit sloppy at times with the ball. Created quite a few chances aswell as hitting the post twice and crossbar once.

Special mention to the ref though, hes 1 crazy man him. If he's Spains best ref then spanish football has the same problems as the PL.

There were about 6 tackles in the 90mins that should've been shown a card, he blew and booked 1, waved the rest play on but dished out 10 yellow cards. Mad ??

Disappointing to lose but glad to get through. Inter are a very good side though.

Hopefully not too grand if the Mighty Millers win their semi final tonight :p
Will be at Wembley if we win, always a good day for those of us that don't go very often

I had connections with both Banstead FC and Carshalton FC so Sutton were always seen as the noisy neighbours but pleased for them. Hoping they can make a Crazy Gang Wimbledon rise up the leagues. They certainly seem to have hit the ground running

This all day. Two weeks ago my cousins husband took his dad to a game. After the game he put his dad in the passenger seat of his car. Walked around to the drivers seat and his dad had a massive heart attack and died. 20 mins earlier he may well have been in the ground and had better immediate medical attention.
 
Been reported a lot today. Seem Everton are in a real mess with players having relegation clauses, and struggling to adhere to the profit/loss rules. Having never gone down from the top division this must be worrying times and it seems a shame on the day ex-manager Gordon Lee died to see a side you were use to always being mid table at the very least and managing a few seasons back to get Europa League football
 
In a bar in Lanzarote watching the game. RM v PSG on all the tellys bar one. It’s fair to say the commentator on the RM game is passionate. ??
