also why was it from Glasgow? Do you think Martinez was waiting at Manchester to try and convince him he still had a "very tough choice to make"
According to the lads on YBIG James has just arrived in Dublin on a flight from Glasgow

Cos he's Scottish
His family would have been coming from Glasgow I reckon.
Has he kissed the tarmac yet?
Trap has in the past thrown new lads right into the fray, not that often but the odd time he has. Any chance that McCarthy will start this wkd?
I'd be shocked if he did. St. Ledger comes to mind as someone who had a baptism of fire under Trap but if memory serves, injuries and whatnot forced his hand.
The game against Bulgaria away? I don´t have the same memory.
What forced Trap's hand was the experience with McShane at RB in the away Italy game and Kelly fluffing his RB lines in the home game against Georgia.
Trap had both O'Shea and Dunne available for the away game against Bulgaria. He chose to play O'Shea at RB (for the first time?), leave Kelly on the bench and gave St ledger his first cap at CH.
What helped St ledger most in that game was that Dunne was just at his imperious best.

First James, then the Queen and lastly Barack. I hope he doesn't have cold sores!
Where is sullvinho, very quiet I notice, this is a statement of fact that he has lost all credibility and should never be taken seriously again. We are on page 130. Its 4days before Saturday.

With the morale of Green and Gibson in mind, I hope McCarthy doesn't start this weekend. As much as I don't rate them (Green more so than Gibson), they are important players in this campaign.
You don't want the morale of players you don't rate dented, so you wouldn't pick a player you rate more highly, because the inferior players are important?
I'm assuming you rate McCarthy more highly anyway.
I don't think it would be in the best interests of the national team to play inferior players over superiorly-talented ones just to keep an individual player's morale up. All squad members must acknowledge the fact that only eleven of them will make the starting line-up. Naturally, it might impact negatively on a player's morale if he doesn't make the line-up, but what can you do about that? Trap can't start everyone and it would be hard to argue that McCarthy isn't deserving of a start over Green and Gibson.
Trap is quite astute on whenever he is asked about a player's performance meriting a place in the team, he replies in the positive but also mentioning the merits of the other players vying for the same position.
Paul f**king Green?! He is just awful, please take a lie down. He's made passing to the opposition under no pressure into an art form!
Totally agree. Trap was unjustly slammed on some things all winter. People should finally start understanding he cannot just put random players in the starting lineup every game because the fans saw him score a goal vs Luton or what not. Also think that he deal's with people better than he gets credit for. I know someone will bring up the Andy Reid thing but he had to show who was boss.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
He's Irish, I know some of his family and they all consider themselves an Irish family, they've massive ties to Donegal.Cos he's Scottish
For the role that Trap is asking of his midfield players, I don't think come Saturday there would be much difference between how Gibson or McCarthy would perform. It would be McC's first competitive game, he hasn't been around many squads etc. Therefore, I'd have Gibson in with Whelan with the hope that McC can come on with a reasonable length of time to go and stake his claim.
Green, on second thoughts, I do think is pretty terrible and I'd have no problem with ousting him!
He's hardly THAT much better than Gibson just yet. Gibson certainly has more experience of big games. I couldn't argue for McCarthy starting ahead of him seeing as he hasn't played for us since the Brazil game. Green, yes, just on ability.
Gibson will start at the weekend id imagine after his goal in the last game but im just glad that mccarthy is finally involved. It was maddening to see green in the squad when mccarthy wasn't
Its really not that complicated!!!
