On the subs bench today against QPR
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.

Am looking for old Irish matches on VHS, PM me if you have some and I'll upload them here
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.Originally Posted by theworm2345
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.
You can't spell failure without FAI
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.
Duff came on for the last 20 minutes or so of the game, replacing Clint Dempsey.
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.

I think that just missed the Duff incident, I can't recall it clearly.
I know he was injured a bit recently but not getting into a very average Fulham team these days. has to be a worry for us
Jol has been playing Ruiz (sp) instead of Duff in league games lately. However I'm not sure how long Jol will last there.
Always look on the bright side of life
I do'nt rate Jol but that can make life difficult for our players if he is the guy deciding who plays for Fulham.
Duffer is getting on, can probably do with a bit of a rest.
Jol is a clueless manager.
I imagine Duff will be brought back for the next game. Ruiz is a good player but Duff does the defensive work and can hold onto the ball, two things Fulham failed miserably at yesterday.
Goal for Duff against Blackburn.
Tweet from Damien a few minutes ago: 'Just got an interesting phone call #decisions'.
Possible move presumably.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
That account is definitely fake.
It does spend a lot of time discussing 24, but then I like 24....
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
was it from DamienDuff16?
It's more than likely a fake. Whoever it is does spend a lot of time talking about duff and Ireland, but there's also this: https://twitter.com/#!/DamienDuff16/...16263746666496
Leeds fans here, Leeds fans there, Leeds fans every ****ing where! Marching On Together! #lufc hahahahaha
