McCarthy added to squad for testimonial
Leicester City defender Paddy McCarthy has been added to the Republic of Ireland squad for Sunday’s clash with Celtic in Jackie McNamara’s testimonial.
McCarthy is added the squad following the withdrawal of Gary Breen though he will return to the Republic of Ireland Under 21 squad for next week’s UEFA Under 21 Championship qualifier against Israel at Flancare Park, Longford.

Good news. Hopefully he will get some experience as he seems to be our best young prospect at CB at the moment. Has anybody seen him play?? I hear he picks up bookings and gives away free kicks like its going out of style...Is he a leader(i.e another cunningham) or a quieter guy(o'Brien Dunne etc)????
Wouldn't read too much into this call up... John Thompson was in a similar position this time last year... He needs allot more games at club level before he should even be considered. Even with the injuries we have if anything happened to O'Brien and Cunniingham then Doherty, O'Shea and even Matt Holland or Roy Keane would be selected ahead of him.
colin hawkins was overlooked yet again at least give him a chanceQuote:

angryant has anybody seen him play, if you went to a under 21 game , youd know what his game is like. he would be a hope to come through in the next couple of years. :eek:
