It's all Roberto's fault. ;)

I'm absolutely delighted to have the James McCarthy debate over and done with....the lad was never going to switch to Scotland. I watched James play for Hamilton Accies a few years back and thought he was one for the future, I think James McCarthy is going to be a real star of the EPL very soon.

I hope he moves to a decent mid-table club next year, he needs to play games...but he also needs to get away from that weirdo Martinez.

Himself, Kelly and Keogh look about 12. I almost feel silly for pinning my hopes and dreams on them now.

Kilbane has the jersey on already signalling his intent to Clark.

Those capris the boys are wearing are lovely. I wonder if this could be the beginning of a long-term deal with Forever 21.

Trapatonni has just confirmed that McCarthy will definetely play on Saturday. Some journos are suggesting as a sub but having just listened to Trapatonni I believe McCarthy might well start the game.

That would be some rise to prominence. Could you quote/paraphrase what he said NG?

He didn't mention experience as much as he did in the Sunday Indo interview. More about putting out the best team and that McCarthy will play. I didn't hear anything about McCarthy being a sub so I don't know where RTE got that part unless he said it earlier.

From RT�:

Quote:

McCarthy, who is still eligible to declare for either the Republic of Ireland or Scotland, was believed to be undecided about his international future, but he trained with the Ireland squad this morning.
Wigan manager Roberto Martinez fuelled speculation about the midfielder's future earlier in the week when he claimed that McCarthy would not be rushed into make a decision.

Why do RT� feel the need to persist with this air of uncertainty in their reporting when it has been made abundantly clear from several quarters - including the man himself - that McCarthy is fully committed to Ireland.

Green is ahead of McCarthy in that picture from the training ground and he is the only one focussed on the task.
Green knows this game is serious.

Interesting. There was a twitter quote from some journalist on the game thread saying he'd get at least three minutes or something like that. RTE might be making the assumption his appearance will be off the bench. I'm assuming the same myself tbh.

That's Andy Keogh, is it not? Although I'm just realising they do look rather similar to one another, bar Keogh's dashing blonde locks, of course.

Noely and predictions don't blend so well.
Green will start, absolute no brainer.

Then Green is over with Trap discussing match day game formations and the intricacies of the 5m pass.

It was Ken Early on the Twitter machine who said the following after the press conference with Trap

"mccarthy will not start, that would be too tough mentally. "

"but mccarthy will play at some point, even if it's only for three minutes."

Its good to see everyone has got their sense of humour back anyway with regards to this thread espicially as a few weeks ago we all feared the worst but thankfully common sense has prevailed That has been helped because of the fact that we have a young man in James McCarthy who is mature beyond his years and with that in mind i think the irish fans need to make him 'feel the love' on Sat night.

I am just throwing it out there that we do up a banner to 'Welcome' James. i know there is a community of lads on here that meet up for the matches who could bring it with them on all our behalf. If I'm being silly please let me know but I think because of that fact that this kid has endured the most horrendous abuse that anyone has ever recieved for declaring for us i think it is incumbent on us irish fans to let him know we apprecaite it.

I personaly have no problem doing up a few designs as I work in the trade and seeing which one people want to go with and I know from previous efforts we could easily source a printed. Obviously there will be a cost issue but again a tenner here and there from the loyal members of foot.ie could get over this, as we have done for other situations like when its was needed.

I just think it would be fantastic to unfurl this banner at half time when the kid is warming up and would give him a such a great feeling that people are genuinely delighted that he is on board.

As I said this might sound like a stupid idea but I have to say when i saw him training with the team today i had a smiule on my face for the rest of the day.

A massive tie to Donegal is no easy thing to live with.

Trap is still undecided about the difficult to fill left back position of number 3 and has narrowed it down to a final 8. (Spot the odd one out).

I believe there are 9 in that picture, tricky, so I'm guessing the odd one out is the one you didn't see?

It's not really in the spirit of magnanimity but can I suggest the banner reading: 'Welcome James - schtick that in yer eye Martinez!!!'

Hi Paul.

Does Mr Trapatoni know you have a blackberry at training?

You could be right as I count 18 feet, I initially went on a head count, so there are either 9 or 8, including one who should be a fantastic dribbler.

Good banter today. Its almost as if a new era is upon us.
Would be a kick in the gut to lose on Saturday. Need a good win to get some momentum.
