It looked like the knee to me at the time, confirmed - hope he recovers well.

Richard Owen must train with a Spanish or Premiership football club during the week the way he went down after rubbing shoulder to shoulder with Bruno. I'd be ashamed to call my self a SL player after that play acting, As for the booing I've go no idea other than some fans thought he was playing dirty towards Eorl. The funniest thing was when the Cas fans were booing Eorl as he ran over a few of their players and ended up knocking Aspy for 6 in the process!!!!

I raised this point on the Cas board and they for some reason tried to defend it! Cristiano Ronaldo would have been proud of that one.

Well done on the victory. Good defensive effort won it for you.

But on a side note, I'm sorry but I've lost respect for Huddersfield fans tonight. Booing Walker when he went off injured was uncalled for. There was nothing in it.

TBH I think the Huddersfield fans thought he was faking (this not the case). he went high with a big hit on Crabtree who took offence and pushed him as he got up to play the ball, Walker then seemed to collapse but didn't look much in it. Obviously he has twisted or fallen badly?. Hope the lad a speedy recovery and think I speak for all Giants fans in saying we would not intentionally boo off a genuinely injured player. Is it his brother plays at Giants, Adam?

Yes i think there twins if i remember rightly and as you said it looks like nothing at first untill you see it on sky

think the problem was he went down and the fans thought he was playacting at 1st and trying to get Eorl into trouble... very unfortunate injury for the lad, hope he's ok

I didn't boo, but I did have a little chuckle at the way his head was bouncing up and down hanging over the edge of the stretcher cos it wasn't long enough!

Good job it wasn't a neck injury!

Shame for walker getting injured like that , shame on the cas fans for jeering /cheering at broughy getting carried off , double standards anyone ?

Re: Home to Cas next................well sort of! : Mon Jun 06, 2011 9:11 pm  

as i've said on the cas forum, the booing was because fans thought he was playacting after trying to get a penalty from eorl's reaction,it was shown on the replay on the big screen at the same time he was being put on the stretcher,i dont think any genuine fans would boo an injured player off the field it was just unfortunate that the boo's could be heard as he was been stretchered off.
hope he makes a quick recovery.
