It was Miller who first lost the ball, and Rowlands started charging round to get it back. The look on his face when he was carried off, he knew his season, and World Cup, was over.

get well soon!

Yeah, felt so sorry for the guy being carried off. He knew, judging by the look on his face, exactly what it meant. Season over. It was so strange how it happened too

Best wishes to Martin Rowlands. I hope he makes a quick and full recovery.

Said that on another thread, am so disappointed for the guy. He got a yellow card shortly before that covering for Miller too. I reckon thats the end of his career to be honest, he looked resigned to the fact too. Shame he never had an extra yard of pace, Ian Holloway said he was the first name on the teamsheet when he was at QPR, would have easily been a Premiership player he said if only he was quicker.

To be fair I expect hundreds of players have got in his way in his career, it's just one of those random things that seem to happen for no reason.

**irishfan86** · 19/10/2009, 2:41 AM

To blame Miller or McShane for the injury is pretty ridiculous.

Freak play and it could have happened at any point. Hope he recovers, but at his age it's going to be a tough road back.

**SilkCut** · 19/10/2009, 4:41 AM

Ah I know I have had a good go at Miller on his thread, but I'm not blaming him for the injury in fairness. Just pointing out what effect making a mistake in football can mean.

Rowland's injury had nothing to do with Miller, McShane or Don Givens.

Always sad to hear about a footballer.

Meanwhile speculation is growing that Martin Rowlands will announce his retirement from the game following a series of knee injuries, the latest sustained in the 30-year-old's first competitive start for the Republic of Ireland against Montenegro.

Firstly I hope he does not have to retire
and secondly I hope all the insurance regarding compensation is in order if he does have to call it a day.

Maybe not...

**RiffRaff** · 30/10/2009, 10:36 PM

makes you wonder where the reporter got the story from. Maybe Trap told him that players dont normally come back from that sort of injury.
