Stretchered off.
Probably dazzled by the goalscorer's barnet0 -
Not a great start for Rob, one down in 13 mins and he's carried off injured.0
-
Looks bad. Was almost clutching the knee before he landed. Gutted for ya Robbie. Hope it's not as bad as it looks. Randolph on for him now.1
-
2-1 now to Ireland, 2 pens.0
-
Soft one for the first, but Skrtel way too slow for Shane, definite for the 2nd one.0
-
2-2 ht McShane OG.0
-
Injured his knee. Off to hospital for a scan. Hopefully it's not too serious and he can still make the tournament. Might finish off Newcastle's season though.1

Oh good, just put him in my fantasy side for the weekend. Well done me.
Seriously though, hope he's alright. Don't Newcastle have Alnwick the younger on their books, brother of Alnwick the older, star of Sunderland sex tape?0 -
All coming together lovely for our pal shay3

He's at Port Vale now I think as Channel 5 made a big fuss about the Alnwick brothers playing against each other when Peterborough played someone.SDAddick said:Oh good, just put him in my fantasy side for the weekend. Well done me.

Thats not going to help Elliot at all... If Newcastle do go down then they'll rely on Karl Darlow being the No.1, he might come back and even find Freddie Woodman ahead of him as well0

Terrible news for the lad.
What is it with modern boots and knee injuries. Or other injuries, with Butland breaking his ankle, with nobody near him.
It seems these days that hardly any serious injuries are caused by contact with another player like they used to be in the old days0 -

Rob was going one way and dived the other way, was grabbing his knee before he hit the floor and the ball hit the net.Dazzler21 said:

That's kind of my point, players seem flimsy these days.
Even back in the mid 90s when I started to watch football they could take a tackle or twist in ways that would make the knee pop etc for a modern player but they were fine...0 -
Really feel for him.
The chance to feature in the finals of an international tournament has been cruelly snatched away.1 -
The likes of Bolder and Deano went for years without serious injury, whereas modern keepers get serious injuries far more often. It's got to be down to the boots and pitches, how the hell can Butland break his ankle just kicking the ball away?Dazzler21 said:That's kind of my point, players seem flimsy these days.

I would argue this is first and foremost down to the pace of the game at international level, and especially at club level, increasing dramatically.Dazzler21 said:That's kind of my point, players seem flimsy these days.

Keepers just aren't made like they used to be

He's a really good lad is Butland.guinnessaddick said:
The Goalkeeping version of Chris Powell in some ways2 -
Elliot seems like a good guy. I like that he calls JJ skip after all these years. Not sure if JJ was even skipper when Elliot was here...?4 -
Elliot played for the first team at the start of our league 1 title winning season....SDAddick said:

Shirt number 44 if memory serves me right.6 -
Can't remember when JJ got the armband but I think it was after Dailly left in which case it was under Parkinson and Elliot was very much still around.SDAddick said:

Either way, Elliot started the first few games of the League 1 winning season and Jacko was definitely skipper by then.2 -

Really gutted for Rob.0

Just saw this, missed it at the time. Apologies if it's been posted elsewhere. Top man.4 -
Could've rested on his laurels and sat back and counted his big pay packets but he's worked his arse off to become a really decent premier league keeper and to get into the Irish senior squad.
Gutted he won't be getting his just rewards by being in France. Never nice to see bad luck befall a fellow addick either.2
