I was in the North Stand that day and without a single exception, all the Rovers fans around me stood and applauded Tom Briscoe from the field. I was very moved by the show of support for the lad. I felt very similar on Friday when the South Stand started the "1 Chev Walker" chant, which spread around the ground.

PS. You Don't Need To Start Every Word With A Capital Letter!

Not a Chev fan but that injury was awful, hope he makes a full recovery & credit to Senior for acting so quickly.

Just because one bunch of stupid tw*ts clap and cheer an injury DOES NOT make it acceptable.
And just because it might happen again, does not make clapping and cheering justified under the argument 'well you lot clapped and cheered when player X went off'

Grow up you stupid bunch of morons.
Loyalty and just being a c**t are close bed fellows but totally different.

I dont think anyone on here could, should and can condone any prickish behaviour like the clapping of an injury.

And anyone trying to defend it needs a drill putting to their head!

read the full thread, does 1 or 2 warrant you to generalise the majority of posters, you need to grow up

Glad you mentioned that, it was doing my head in!!!

Best of luck to him it was a shocking injury and hope it doesnt end his career

Okii Whatever
P.s I Do And If You Don't Like It Don't Read It!

But why do you do it?

Looking at that it looks like Senior didn't just tackle him. To me it looks like he attempts to trip Walker with his right foot hooked around Chev's lower leg. That left the top half of his shin propelled forward without the bottom half causing the horrendous break.

OK Senior is mortified afterwards, but that looks to me like an illegal and dangerous challenge in the first place. Surprised no-one has picked up on this but then replays have, of course, been restricted.

Individualism..I like that



The poster can post how he/she likes, it is great he/she wants to join the forum.

Thanks For That Mrs C

Anyway I'm Honored That You're Talking About Me But Can We Get Back To The Matter In Hand!



Does Anyone Know How Chev IS Doing????

Try asking on the Rovers board.

Okii Let Us All Know When You can!

your grammers improving

unlike your spelling

Never saw a lot wrong with the tackle myself, just looks like chevs leg gets stuck under him and the outcome can be seen by all. Horrific to watch at the time.

On the subject of cheering an injury, I thinl theres a fine dividing line about when its done. we all cheer a hard big hit and at the instant it happens it seems great. When it becomes unacceptable is if the player then stays down and is obviously hurt. I wont say no one wants to see a player hurt cos I guess all clubs have morons who cheer and wave to a player been carried off but in general the vast majority of RL fans will applaud an injured player from the pitch.

its not about me

Watched the incident a few times and nothing untoward from Senior in the tackle. It was just a freak occurence. They could do the same tackle another 100 times and nothing would come of it.

As for cheering injuries.

When players make big hits we cheer and rightly so, however 99% of supporters joy will turn to concern if the player on the recieving end is in trouble, but they very rarely are (strange how it always seems to be the innocuous challenges that cause the serious injuries)
