I agree we could have done a lot better at the WC finals, if we had proper preparation. Under the circumstances it was a great achievement. I'm not a great fan of McCarthy but his biggest crime to some people seems to be not showing favouritism to players from certain clubs. Everyone who plays for Man u or Celtic doesn't mean you have a divine right to be picked and have the team built round you.
I have to say I've never liked the guy (Dunphy).Quote:

I like Dunphy too, for my sins - I often find him thought provoking, and he was good on the radio. But his opinion on Keane, McCarthy etc. etc. must always be tempered by the thought that he was in the paypacket of the former. His is hardly the most objective of opinions. That doesn't disentitle him to an opinion, it's just that he was hardly going to give McCarthy a break.
He is too opinionated...;) :D
I always found though that his radio show was excellent for the contribuors he had on. Though this probably had a lot to do with the production team.
I don't think McCarthy was ever up to scratch as a manager, but I reckon that he is a more decent person than Dunphy is.
I think Dunphy's dislike of Mucker has a lot to do with the treatment of Dave O'Leary at the time of Charlton.
