Cuellar heading back to Rangers? Could be good news for Ciaran, despite losing his biggest fan.
Any reason why he is left out of squad for Croatia. Trap was to explain but haven't heard yet.
Doubt there's any big mystery - unluckily for Ciaran, Ward and Delaney came in the last squads and did well. So Trap would rather take a look at them for now. Don't have a problem with it, Clark's not a first team regular yet though I'd have big hopes he comes into this season strong. If he plays and performs he'll be back in the squad.
True - I think Trapp could be testing Clarkes mettle, in order to see what response he gets.Quote:

CLARK. No e.
The thread is called "Ciaran Clark" ffs.
If only I'd have known that before I posted. It would have made a fundamental difference to the content and tone of my post.Quote:

It's not just you. It's countless posters here and elsewhere. It just gets on my goate.Quote:

I was disappointed to see Clark left out, but it would have been harsh on Delaney and/or O'Dea if they had been dropped, having played a significant part in the May/June games. It's not worth getting worked up over - at present, Clark and Delaney are fighting it out for 5th choice centre-back and third choice left-back. It's not going to have any short-term bearing.
Two extraneous letters on the end of names in one post? Nuff excuses Wolfee, get back to Cub School.Quote:

Clarko definitely not- only cricket players are allowed the "o" on the end of their name.
I'd only be worried if people starting saying Ciaran Clerk.
wow wolfie, i really disagree with your conclusion if that is the motivation for his absence. What possible good would it do for Trap to test Clark's mettle?? Not sure what Clark has done over the summer to be dropped... its a strange one if you ask me.Quote:
