According to the page history - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=James_McCarthy_%28footballer%29&action=history - it was the user from IP address* 83.71.1.162
Plugging this into IP Address Lookup: http://ip-address-lookup-v4.com/lookup.php?ip=83.71.1.162
tells us it's assigned to somewhere along Mespill Road.
If I had to guess, I'd say it was someone staying in the hotel that night.

*IP Address is the unique identifier assigned to any device (computer, console, mobile, etc) connected to the internet, think of it like a phone number

Just to test the accuracy I put my IP address in and the point it pin-pointed was 1.4 miles away, so it is a fairly rough indication.

How accurate can that google map indicator be?
I looked up my own isp on the google map and the red spot is 16 km away from my home.

Well mine was 1.4 miles away I think, it might have said km, I forget.
I would guess you live in a much less densely populated area than I do, perhaps, I am not to sure how it works.
I looked at the area and it was mainly residential housing, so I guess it is just a bit of a guess based on the physical
cabling, a 1.4 miles radius would cover several hundred, perhaps thousands of homes. It might just be pot luck
that I appear nearer.
Which reminds me... I have some old IP addresses which are different but they all seem to pin-point the same spot.

Anyway it certainly did not appear to be a commercial area where an ISP might be located. I guess it is like the telephone
network with more cabling feeding off various junction boxes. Perhaps there is some sort of junction box around there, I would
recognise a telephone junction box, but mine is cable, and I imagine it is probably some sort of covered hole in the ground.
It might feed into the telephone networks cabling I suppose.

"The position was fine. It was just trying to get on the ball and it wasn't happening.

"The ball was going into Shane (Long) and it was bouncing off Shane and going back to the midfielders. In the second half I tried to drop back and get on the ball more. I got more of the ball then. But it was disappointing to lose 3-2 even though it was a friendly.

"I play more in midfield for the club. I was trying to support the forward a bit more.

"I try to support the forwards when I'm at my club as well -- only not as far advanced.

"But it's great to get some game time under my belt with Ireland."

Looks like James would have preferred to have played in a more CM role. Maybe just maybe Trap will give him that chance in the carling nations cup. But unlike Geysir (yes i know if he performed well - i thought he performed well though given the little amount of ball he saw) suggested I don't see him starting against Macedonia away.

You do understand the conditional?
Geysir offered the opinion that McCarthy will have his auditions, that he would start in the away game against Macedonia, if he passes those auditions.

paul_oshea

31/03/2011, 1:51 PM

I could be wrong but I remember if he performs well. Thats my point, I thought what he did he did well. But I still don't see him starting against Macedonia, even if he does as well in the next 2 games.

It adds to the confusion when you do not make enough effort to express yourself properly. Have more respect for your opinions by expressing them more clearly.
When you quote me, then make an effort to represent the opinion with reasonable accuracy.

It was not at all a waste to play James in that game but from the perspective of the upcoming Macedonia game, there was little to be gained by playing James so far forward as compared to playing him more centrally. With his eyes closed, he can do what Green does. But out there against Uruguay we didn't see James trying to play a role that suits his strengths or a role that is likely to be a part of how the team will shape up against Macedonia.

paul_oshea

31/03/2011, 5:05 PM

"If all goes well he should be starting for the away qualifier."

Now I took that to mean if all goes i.e. james plays well.

I don't know how many ways you can change/adapt/reply with clouded flowery language but as far as I am concerned he played well the last day given what he had to do, which I think you also said on a previous thread. If he does the same the next 2 games, assuming he plays, i still don't see him starting the macedonia game.

I don't have time generally to quote or go back and find exactly what one says, as I work, and it keeps me busy, I give a quick reply and thats it from what i remember, paraphrasing rather than direct quotes.

I agree that it would have been nice to see James in a more central role, but I don't think we will see that in Macedonia either. Again I hope I am made to eat my words.

And I do also think that Trap now has the monkey off his back by saying "james is youngge, he will learn with confidence, but not ready yet" and this is his justification instead of moving him back into green or even faheys positions on 60 mins or before instead of taking him off. However I suppose that might be seen as favouritism in the squad, but if he really means building the team around him then surely he could have tried it?

I wrote that he was most likely to start the friendlies and if all went well ....
if you don't have the time to remember or express properly what you roughly remember, then best to leave it.
If you think he did well, I don�t argue with that opinion but my opinion of him doing well enough to be selected for Macedonia would be different. And I think Trap would have started him at CM if he was seriously giving him an audition for that starting place in our troubled spot.

I think you should give yourself more credit.
In general you have opinions which have merit, some maybe less so, 'but that's not important right now':)
What happens is that it appears that you don't respect your own opinions by not caring how they read.

Obviously Roberto is biased but I love reading stuff like this...

"James McCarthy is someone that — potentially — can play in any team in world football. The Republic of Ireland have got an unique, world-class talent. I think it could make the difference [for the team] in the future.

Positivity about Irish players no matter how ott is always welcomed on a morning commute.

Interview with Martinez in the Examiner. Dodges the question about him muddying the waters but he's full of praise for McCarthy (and a couple of other Irish players).

Charlie Darwin

20/04/2011, 3:09 PM

Suggestion Chelsea want to offload their older top-earners (Drogba, Lampard) and replace them with younger players on lower wages. They'll need to reduce their wage bill to meet the Financial Fair Play guidelines soon enough. The acquisitions of Ramires and Luiz are consistent with that.

paul_oshea

20/04/2011, 3:18 PM

Ya ive been listening to that, surely terry would be the top of that list, thats why im not quite sure the reason being spouted is the real reason. I think the real reason is they just want to get rid of lampard and drogba I mean, incase thats not clear enough.

Which come to think of it, makes me wonder if any truth to it at all, given the fact that Ancellotti said the chelsea severly missed drogba and lampard mid way through the season when they flopped. Given ancellotti is going to be sacked though maybe his views don't hold much credence.

Charlie Darwin

20/04/2011, 4:09 PM

Ancelotti has very little role in transfer dealings. They did miss Lamps and Drogs but he can only work with what he's given. Terry is different I think - he's the club talisman, captain and doesn't have the same injury concerns as Lampard.

Im absolutely giddy about the prospects of Long, Mac, Coleman, Meyler, etc being in their prime at the same time..... also seems like Martinez is trying to mend fences a bit.

Certainly had a poor game today. On the subject of a possible move to a bigger club Liverpool would be such a better move than Chelsea. Daglish plays young players regularly like Flanagan and Robinson while I think at Chelsea, McCarthy would not be given such opportunites, but might just make the bench.

Stuttgart88

08/05/2011, 8:22 AM

absolutely atrocious for Wigan today in my opinion.

Anonymous in the first half apart from one sloppy pass in his own half which almost lead directly to a goal. Same in the second and again a slip and then hurried pass in an advanced position leads to a one on one for Darren Bent that Al Habsi does well to save.I only saw MOTD highlights, but that was my verdict too - though I think it might have been he who won the ball well to start the move that led to Wigan's goal. Not sure about that.

Yeah it was Cleverly. Thought it was McCarthy as well until I the number four appeared further back the pitch, to my disappointment! In relation to a potential move, I'm sure he'll pick the right option. He has managed his career very well to date, choosing development over prestige. I can't see him wasting his time at Chelsea at this crucial point, I hope not anyway.

tommy_c12000

Watched the first half yesterday. He made a couple of strong purposeful runs with the ball but other than that didn't really contribute. He had two wayward passes and seemed a bit disinterested at times yesterday. 2-0 down at half time, Martinez was always going to bring on a second striker (Sammon) with McCarthy being sacrificed. Watson was left in to anchor midfield. He looks increasingly lethargic and needs a good break this summer. It will be interesting to see if he starts against Stoke next wkend
