a "misunderstanding"?!?!?!
a week too late - Watch the drowning rats trying to save themselves
A bit like Stauntons tenure really...........all a big misunderstanding
Finally, a world class player joins the squad.......not
.......bet Delaney forced Stauntons hand.
fingers crossed this means Kilbane does not start in the centre of MF.
Nevertheless someone who can tackle in midfield & is currently Irelands in-form central midfielder. McPhail is probably our second most in-form player in this position.Quote:

He has to play, if he is not going to play what was the point in calling him up!!!
If Stan doesnt start with him (and I would make him capt.) then Stan should never be allowed to manage any team again!!!

is he called up or is it just speculation. no word on fai website (thought they would be first to announce it (not))
however it is on everton website

About bloody time, hope he does himself justice now. Carsley needs to kick seven shades of sh!te outa the likes of o shea, kilbane, o brien and co.
Finally a step in the right direction, gotta be pleased about that.
can't really see stan startin him. i'd say he'll start him on the bench and bring him on in second half - as a face saving exercise:rolleyes:
I never thought I would be so happy to see Lee Carsley called in to an Irish squad!
Staunton is like a drowning man, clutching at anything for survival.....I think we're all happy re Carsley, and your right, I can't believe that last sentence.Stan, go now...please.Quote:

Heard them mention this morning on the news that he might be getting a call up but nothing was definite.
It's the right decision but I think it just undermines Stan even more. On one hand you could say that he's willing to admit it when he's made a mistake (even though it's his actions rather than his words that suggest this) but on the other hand it just proves that really doesn't have a clue what he's doing.
Exactly. Interesting that it is still not up on the FAI site, difficult one to word!Quote:
