Sheff Utd fans: Hang your heads in shame

Barnsley striker Iain Hume has suffered a fractured skull and internal bleeding after a challenge by Chris Morgan during Saturday's clash with Sheff Utd.

In the full-blooded affair, after two players were sent off by Andy D'Urso, the referee only showed Morgan a yellow card for leading with his elbows and hammering into the side of Iain Hume during an aerial challenge.

Although I'm sure Chris Morgan will be horrified to hear the news about Hume, when Iain was down injured, chants of ''cheat'' from the Sheff Utd fans in the West Stand were hurled towards the Canadian international.

Hume has been in intensive care over the weekend.

Manager Simon Davey told of his disgust with the lack of protection Hume was given by referee Andy D'Urso:

From the club's official website:

'It's beggars belief that you send a manager to the stand when referee's assistants make decisions 70 yards down the pitch; yet a challenge like this seen from 15 yards away, which ends with Iain suffering a fractured skull, goes virtually unpunished.'

Good luck to Iain Hume, all Blades fans will wish him a speedy recovery.

gloucblade

what a plank who put up this thread!! we all hope hume makes a full recovery and we wouldnt want it any other way. football is football and at the time it didnt look nothing. not 1 blade would wish harm to any player so i take this thread personally attacking!!

bladesforlife1889

well Goodwin, bladeforlife is right (despite the double negative). Football's football, and when an opposing team's player's down you call for them to get up. If the seriousness was known there's no way they'd have shouted cheat!

shepsblade

morgs is no angel we all know that, but no way would he go out to cause harm to a player like this. there was No intention and any comment that states different is totally unfair to the player and club. these things happen

bladesforlife1889

isnt it strange there's no Barnsley comments on this........ ...anyway speedy recovery to the lad....

lincolnblue

because there is no thats why.

bladesforlife1889

I just think in the moment fans will always think a player who throws himself, which Hume has done in the past!, in the moment that is. You can always tell when there is a more serious injury when treatment takes a while and 99.9% of the time BOTH sets of fans clap the injured player off. Speedy but more importantly full recovery to the lad.

Boxer

where's all the dingles to back this article up????? what a joke

bladesforlife1889

it looks like hume is going to make a full recovery. thank god its horrible to see a player go down like that. I'm sure morgan will get dealt with behind closed doors at BDWTL if blackwell feels there was any intent in the elbow.

bladesforlife1889

The article speaks for itself and doesn't need backing up.You have to expect things to be a bit raw, everyone is passionate about their own teams Morgan was out of order and needs to be dealt with. There is no doubt it was intentional but it's unfair to say he meant to do Hume so much harm. Luckily Hume looks to be improving well ,but there is no question it could have killed him. I'm sure Morgan is regretful but he should never have stuck the elbow in. As for the blades fans chanting 'cheat', I think most fans would have done the same before realising the extent of the injury. Despite what has happened, none of us would be without our local derbies!!

yorkie_tyke

well, i stand by it, i heard some terrible things shouted from the West stand. i was there.

mattyg

another one who needs to hang his head in shame is Neil Warnock for actually defending the elbow. "he's run into him" was his assessment of the incident...what? He simply wanted to win over the fans of his old club live on TV. At the cost of defending violent conduct on the football field?? Desperate...

gooderzone

One of the worst comments throughout the whole affair was Blackwell on Calendar - He said 'These things happen in football' and 'Its just unfortunate that Iain was injured in the incident'. It's Blackwell that's a tool. As for Warnock, he just doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut, it's not long since he described Barnsley folk as the 'Muck and the nettles of the town'.

yorkie_tyke

good to see yorkie commenting well unlike matty g. lets be fair matty you are a pain in the ass as you just comment on issues may times on our site just for the crack and a wind up, so your idiot comments are expected. For the record this does happen in football and blackwell is right. untill video evidence is brought in like it is in tennis and rugby these sort of things will keep occuring along with terrible and match changing decisions. this is todays football yorkie as bad as it sounds. TAKE A LOOK AT THE HUNT KNEE ON PETER CECH!!

bladesforlife1889

davy has caused this to be a war. apparantly morgan has been in touch with hume and visited him and his wife in hospital. morgan according to reports has said it was the hardest thing he has ever had to do and became emotional as he too is a family man. there are no hard feelings between the 2 players. just davy and the dingle board wanting some more media attention by the sounds of it!!

bladesforlife1889

I think its more the fact that we paid 1.2m for Hume and his wages wont be easy to come by, you have to admit bfl1889 that it could hit us financially aswell as mentally losing Hume for such a long time. That is probably one of the reasons behind the board taking it further, especially if we have to bring someone else in.

yorkie_tyke

I see Graham Poll has joined in now - slamming Durso for his decision. And i'm pleased to see him have a dig at Warnock too! Mind you, how many cards would Poll have shown?!

yorkie_tyke

poll is worse than durso so he carnt comment on anything. look at us with the west sham saga that has hit us massively and the laws of the game were changed and misguided throughout. just because he cost you 1.2m doesnt change anything. you guys need to move on now

bladesforlife1889

It means everything, we've now lost him for at least 6 months because of your player, we're paying a player who cant play! Even speed admitted it was intended. I think you can call a 2-1 win over watford moving on

yorkie_tyke

speed didnt say anything of the sort mate, where the hell have you plucked that one from? jesus come as if!! like i said thats football and these things do happen. he isnt the first and he deffinately wont be the last. players do get injured its the nature of the game, its just gutting when the severity is that of what hume suffered. no way was it in intent. granted it looks bad but so do many challengers and injuries. its the nature of the game. before the hume injury he did have a repertation for diving and going down very very easilly hence the srtong blades following reactions.

bladesforlife1889

bfl how can u say it wasnt intenional??? y else would his arm be out there? both feet was on the floor he didnt use the arms as leveragfe hes just a ****

smiggyswfc

bfl1889 is thick as F***. Learn english before you comment on articles on an english website you stupid C*** oh and Blades For Life? GET A LIFE! Sad piggy loser

gooderzone

ha ha soft girls - shut the ***** up!!

bladesforlife1889

something you to55ers do have in common with the dingles which is you are the poor relations to us!!

bladesforlife1889

Dont you watch the news bfl? In an interview he said he was close to the incedent but didn't see anything wrong with the challenge but after seeing the video he said they told a different story. Thats where I plucked that from! As for the reputation for diving, you obviously didn't see the first time Morgan used the elbow 10 mins earlier, no way were both an accident! I hope he gets seriously dealt with! And bfl - my cousin is a blades fan, so does that make him a dingle too?

yorkie_tyke

yorkie you said - speed said that morgan meant to do it and it was intentional!! i said no way did he say that in an interview. Now you have changed you story.

bladesforlife1889

So you've seen the interview with speed then? I haven't changed my story and I never quoted speed if you read the comment properly. Its a case of splitting hairs here! He knows aswell as everyone who saw the footage that he meant to elbow Hume, its a simple fact.

yorkie_tyke

YOU SAID WORD FOR WORD - 'Even speed admitted it was intended' How can you say you didnt? scroll up fella!! you need to stop moaning and move on. you guys got a great win at the weekend and not one of you have commented on it. Still trying to get publicity over the hume injury!! typicall of a scrubby club and town!!

bladesforlife1889

I said he admitted it was intentional, if i'd qouted him I would have used quotation marks! Do you know what they are?! I can't see what you're getting so wound up about. And I did comment on the Watford result - Funnily enough that was the last time you said to move on. And what's with the insult about scrubby club and scrubby town?

yorkie_tyke

he didnt admit it was intentional what are you on about. its like you having a car accident and you dont know whos fault it is and then you lass shouting out its your fault as if. He would never do that nor would any other team mate to a fellow team mate. as for the last comment it is true barnsley is a grubby ground and a dirty scrubby hole. Its like going back in time in the town centre on a saturday afternoon.

bladesforlife1889

show me where you have plucked this from about speed!! you are clutching at straws now m8

bladesforlife1889

Did't understand any of that crap you were going on about just then about a car accident. It was on calendar, he was interviewed directly after blackwell.

yorkie_tyke

lol you are from barnsley so its whats expected fella xxxxxxxx

bladesforlife1889

I was born in barnsley mate, I dont live in barnsley, left when I was a kid

yorkie_tyke

thats what they all say- lol. so i guess you are another dingle part timer??

bladesforlife1889

thought so!!!

bladesforlife1889

No I still go watch them. I'm more of a dingle than any barnsley supporter cos I live a few miles from emmerdale!!

yorkie_tyke

lol nice one!! nice area too, me and out lass go there a few times a year for long weekend breaks. some of the houses are to die for.

bladesforlife1889
