Gabby Logan expressed her sincerest apologies at the decision to show a replay of the horrific incident.
Gabby Logan has admitted both her and the BBC were shocked at UEFA's decision to show Barnabas Varga's nasty injury - which has left the Hungary forward in hospital.It was a distressing scene at the Stuttgart Arena, with his teammates putting him in the recovery position before medics covered him up and stretchered him off to be attended to more seriously.
When the stretcher bearers arrived on the field, Hungarian players urgently encouraged them to hurry, clearly worried about Varga's condition.In response, the BBC quickly switched to a wide shot of Stuttgart Arena. But after the match, Logan conveyed her best wishes to Varga and emphasised the BBC's disapproval of UEFA's choice to air the replay of the collision."We are updating you on his condition. At the moment we have no more. We were as shocked as you when they replayed that incident."
She continued by addressing the audience to explain the broadcasters shock at the footage shown:"There are protocols around this kind of thing after Christian Eriksen three years ago. We were very surprised that UEFA chose to play in that replay, which is why we cut away to a wide angle as soon as we could."Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
