If he had played either of these players and they had got a knock it could have set up trouble in future. McCarthy is a quiet type and we don't really know much about him but in Coleman's case you just know he'd bust a gut to play for Ireland. As a runner, I know that a few days can make a big difference between being at risk of aggravating an injury and being fully healed. However, it's interesting the way O'Neill described Andy Reid's situation before the Georgia game, pretty much saying that it was Reid's choice to stay behind and strongly hinting that he could have been available if he really wanted. Maybe that's just O'Neill's turn of phrase though, which can be a bit caustic and dry at the best of times.Quote:

Would Trap have called them in to report for a medical?
You'd hope that it was all genuine. There's a 5 day restriction period whereby the club would have to have the FAI's agreement to use these players in a game or else face some reprimand or other, depending on any fuss I suppose.
The last thing we need now is Martinez getting inside McCarthy's head and starting some crap because we're playing Scotland next month.
no the last thing we need is martinez becoming aston villa manager and convincing burkey to throw his lot in with the three lions!Quote:

Coleman fouled by Wickham for a penalty, Baines scores to equalise, 1-1,
Mourinho is very keen on Coleman as competition for Ivanovic and is planning a €20-22 million bid, according to various media reports/Balls.ie: http://balls.ie/football/seamus-coleman-move-soon/
Sleeping at the wheel yesterday. Not for the first time either.

I'd hope he has more sense than that. If he is to move on I would think United would be a more likely destination, if they are interested. Geographically it would be less of a move, better chance of first team football and he supported them growing up.
Would be some move for him to work with the best manager around and who would without doubt iron out his defensive faults. No brainer if he gets the chance.Quote:

Agreed. They're not Southampton.Quote:
