Looked extremely happy with it too - might have something to do with the grief he got in his final days at Newcastle. Duffer if only you had finished a similar chance as well in Paris over a year ago. Ah well.

That was way harder than the one in paris it bounced right up in the air before he got....

Good finish alright. Definitely wasn't sparing the Newcastle fans with his celebration anyway, it was a big goal for the club though in fairness. Might just be starting to play well, good game against spurs at the weekend and he hit a belter of a shot off the crossbar in one of the games before that, oppostion escapes me but may have been Birmingham?

It was against Stoke. He's been back to his best since Christmas, although he missed an absolute sitter the last night , before he redeemed himself. celebration for the goal, but he'd been getting stick all night from the Geordies. Incidentally Leon Best looked hopeless , and in no way stepped up after Ameobi , who isn't a hard act to follow, went off after 10 mins .

Duffer just equalised for Fulham at Man City. An excellent first time finish at the far post from an Andy Johnson cross.

Absolute legend and a lad with a real love for the jersey. Remember when he was injured but still travelled at his own expense to support us away to Slovakia, the heartfelt devastation and tears in Paris etc etc........not just a great player but a real fan as well.

Ya he checked in behind me coming back to London.remember thinking "he's not actually that small".he didn't ask for my autograph either.

Funny he walked in fine behind me.walked up the stairs fine.then as we were all queueing for the flight some time later he was limping with the hostess all the way to the waiting area in front of everyone else :D. ILL forgive him that one though.

Our most important player going into the Macedonia game. Will be sweating he does not get injured in the next few weeks. If the game is 0-0 in the second half or worse still we have to chase the game then this is the player who can do it by himself (especailly if Keane is still injured).

Up the Duff





BBC
Fulham goal: Well, Damien Duff's enjoying a rollocking good afternoon against the team that used to pay his wages. Fulham's build-up down their right is patient and well-executed, and when Moussa Dembele feeds Duff outside the box on the right, he cuts in and fizzes a 20-yard drive low past Paul Robinson. Good hit, son.

Fulham got a peno, could have been a hat trick for Duff if they let him take it
but Zamora took it and scored.

from http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/9462364.stm

Fulham are again expected to be without Damien Duff, who is still troubled by an Achilles injury.

also, from the same page, I didn't know this

Damien Duff is one goal away from scoring 50 in the Premier League. He would become the third Irishman to reach this milestone after Robbie Keane and Niall Quinn.

Duff out for the rest of the season and therefore misses the Macedonia game.

From yahoo sports.....

GOAL!!!!! DUFF BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! A slick move begins with Davies out on the left, with Zamora and then Davies laying the ball off for the onrushing Duff, who blasts a low drive into the far corner of the net!I love it when Duffer blasts goals in....

Just heard on 5 Live - Duff doesn't play for Fulham today due to 'personal and private reasons'. Sounds worrying, hope things are OK for Damien.

Its both an indictment and a tribute to the lad that this thread has so few posts, (quick comparison, D Gibson below has twice as many)

Without hyperbole, Duff has been one of the best players to ever don a green shirt.

Hope 'private and personal' is nothing too serious. Strange thing to release. Why not just say 'calf strain' and get over it.

Duffer hauled off in the 33rd minute at Twente. Didn't seem to be too injured, maybe a slight limp in his left leg as he left the pitch, but the expression on his face seemed to more upset he was being taken off (could be upset at the injury). Wasn't paying too much attention to the match but it didn't seem he was too involved. Kelly is starting at right back as well.

Lawrie Sanchez on SPN said it was an injury followed by a disappointed look from Martin Jol when walking by him. Don't know what that's suppose to mean.

I wonder how likely it is Duffer could be on his way out come January...

I heard recurrence of the calf injury that kept him out of last week's draw with Chelsea (? Arsenal? I forget.)

Duffer's a nailed on start for Fulham, surely? I'd be amazed if they let him go.

Martin Jol, the Fulham manager, last night revealed Damien Duff is set to miss Monday night's Premier League game with Liverpool after he limped off during Fulham's Europa League defeat to FC Twente.

Fulham knew three points in the Netherlands would guarantee qualification for the last 32, but left empty-handed after substitute Marc Janko stabbed home from close range late on. Andy Johnson was sent off in stoppage time for a second booking, while injuries to Duff and Mousa Dembélé compounded a bad evening for the west Londoners.

"Duff has [suffered a recurrence] of the old problem with his calf injury that kept him out for two weeks," Jol said. "He came back and had the same problem, but hopefully Dembélé is fine. Damien could be a doubt but I expect Mousa to play and Clint [Dempsey] could return."

On his side's performance against one of his old clubs, Jol added: "It could have been a nice game. They have got a good team and they score goals. Last Sunday was the first time in a while they had not scored a goal [they drew 0-0 with Vitesse Arnhem] so it would have been only the second time in about 42 games they hadn't scored.

"That would have been good, although one point would not have been ideal. We need to win the last game, anyway, but the goal was disappointing."

The defeat, coupled with Wisla Krakow's win at Odense, means Fulham must beat the latter in two weeks to be sure of qualification. Johnson's red card will see him miss that game and Jol admitted the striker's absence is far from ideal.

"It was probably not what you want, a player sent off in the final minutes out of frustration," he said. "It was a second booking, and he knew that he was booked."

FC Twente (4-3-3): Mihailov; Rosales, Wisgerhof, Douglas, Tiendalli; Brama, Fer (John, h-t), Landzaat; Bajrami, De Jong, Chadli (Janko, 79). Substitutes not used Marsman (gk), Cornelisse, Bengtsson, Buysse, Gouriye.

Fulham (4-4-2): Schwarzer; Kelly, Hughes, Hangeland, Riise; Dembélé (Kasami, 83), Murphy, Etuhu, Duff (Frei, 34); Johnson, Zamora (Orlando Sa, 87). Substitutes not used Etheridge (gk), Senderos, Gecov, Briggs

Didn't see the game, but Duff getting a bit of slack from a Fulham fan on the BBC live updates page after Fulham conceded a last minute equaliser against Odense in the Europa League to dump them out of the competition.


Damien duff needs to hang his head in shame. Standing offside waving his hands like a mardy child because he didn't get a pass. If he'd been available to pass to then the ball would never have gone back up the other end.

Duff came on for the last 20 minutes or so of the game, replacing Clint Dempsey.
Charlie Darwin
14/12/2011, 11:33 PM
That's nonsense. He was wide open in the box and the other striker (Sa or something) tried to go himself. He did wave his hands for a second but whoever it was still gave the ball away cheaply. Holding him responsible is borderline demented.

Yea I thought one of the players missed a pass.
The result was a sickener for Fulham, dying second of the match and out of the blue.
Can't really blame anyone, it was just a killer of a long cross.
