ok so that's made me a bit less worried. still disappointed though, a potential McCarthy appearence was one of the reasons I was looking forward to the game.Quote:
take it from me, he took a knock to his ankle yday, the same ankle he had major surgery on 3 months ago. 100% committed to us
Disappointing. I can see this Celtic Cup thing being pull out mania. Keane's absence might provide further opportunity for Long though. No bad thing. Coleman possibly in the frame too.Quote:

Absolutely. They did a big feature on McCarthy a week or so back, compiling quotes and whatnot. Very good.Quote:

The problem with Mccarthy not coming over is that we know Trap wont put him in in march. Or possibly june.
Ok, he's pulled out. But even if he played he still wouldn't be tied to us. Macedonia is the key game to get this guy capped, even if it's just for a minute at the end. Scotland were a bit to close for comfort in Dublin this week as well!
Ya but will that happen.don't think so.
Only in American sports could a big fattie be considered an athlete.
I wouldn't argue that point with The Diesel, nr 99 for The Steelers.
Gutted that he has pulled out, particularly after his recent displays for Wigan.
According to todays times, Noel King met with James last week to reaffirm Traps plans for him in the Irish set up
And what plans are they?
Ya geysir i wouldn't like him to catch me.but im confident enough looking at him and the belly hanging out tjats he wouldn't catch me - at least without a break after a 10 sec rush and a timeout.
The exact piece from the article is
"His brief time with the senior squad has been marked with withdrawals and exclusions, though he is believed to have had a meeting in north west England during the week with Noel King and that may have helped reassure the player that he is part of Trappatoni's plans."
Hard not to see Trap's side in this.
At some point he has to play.
What is up with this?
Pretty sensible with him coming back from injury.
We don't want him picking up a major injury and never being the same player again, as happens to Irish player far too often!
It is pretty disappointing nonetheless.
David Meyler's recent comeback is a fantastic example of this. We don't want to injure our best prospect in a nothing game with Wales.Quote:

Idiots at ybig still talking about how he's tired, not injured. Do they not read anything other than Aertel?
Saw this in yesterday's Observer, where fans and club bloggers give their opinions on the games.

Really looking forward to him doing something similar for Ireland!
Ken Early on Twitter:
trap asked whether mccarthy might become scottish again. "i don't think so, he like us, i like him, i show him my estimation. he grow."
shay given: "when i was very young i was very excited to be in the squad. maybe young players' mentality has changed."
shay given on mccarthy: "we'd welcome him with open arms. he'll be a big player for us. possibly he's doing lots of rehabilitation work."
trap asked if now is the time to see mccarthy face to face. "i went to meet one player before. it was ... disaster. you remember his name?"
trap: "in life, there is only three situation. birth. life. death. e tax. that is true."
Daniel McDonnell:
Trap press conference dominated by James McCarthy chat. Effectively shifting responsibility from club to player. Not good.
