He's not going anywhere. Just like he hasn't gone anywhere the other 11 times he hasn't been picked for/made a squad.

**Stuttgart88** · 07/02/2011, 9:35 PM

Fcuking stupid comments from Shay.

Pretty well respected journo according to YBIG posters.

Already posted, hope it's not true. Media seem determined to stir this wasps nest until someone gets stung.

Anxious re McCarthy situation!

**paul_oshea** · 07/02/2011, 9:53 PM

He is a great dj but he hasn't been hot on sport in a while still is thay since the conference with given

**paul_oshea** · 07/02/2011, 9:55 PM

I knew there was more to this from original squad selection

**LFCSixty/Eighty** · 07/02/2011, 10:01 PM

So Trappatoni is having a go at McCarthy for not turning up for the friendly but yet he was the one that didn't include him in the original squad because he said he felt he was injured and wouldn't be ready to play. So he can't have it both ways!

I am disgusted as much as everyone else that he's not going to be there but at the end of the day the club has to look after their own needs and I'm keeping my fingers crossed this is their decison and not his.

**Stuttgart88** · 07/02/2011, 10:04 PM

They're having kittens over on YBIG! Don't blame them mind you. I have that horrible feeling I got when I heard on my car radio that Roy Keane hadn't turned up for Quinn's testimonial.

They should play "Communication's Let Me Down" by Spandau Ballet on the PA tomorrow.

To be fair, YBIG organise a fair aul sing song and get sh*t done as is said, but the discussion can be a bit wild and wide of the mark sometimes

what?

**boovidge** · 07/02/2011, 10:09 PM

I've got that feeling too Stuggart. No matter how much I tell myself it's just journos stirring and that we've been through this before, it feels different now somehow. I hope we get a definitive answer soon.

Thats because you have the sensible old guard who started the site, produce the mags, and get sh*t down and then you have the other "parasites" as I call them who invaded the site around November of '08 as the site started to pick up in popularity. As the heads are far more laid back there than the folks here, and they basically have a sort of (formerly quite excellent) anything goes section, threads tend to degenerate rather quickly and I think it spills over into the Ireland section (for example, last time I posted Irish Scorers there, I believe yapster was also posting). I'm sure there are a handful of them who are sensible, but I lost the patience to attempt to weed them out a long time ago.

**Stuttgart88** · 07/02/2011, 10:12 PM

Kingdom, I was trying to figure it out too. I think there should be a full stop after "while" and "thay" should be "that". So POS is asking if the John Kenny tweet was after Shay's comments were reported.

Common sense would suggest that he's not being risked by Wigan, which is the right decision in my opinion. If it's more sinister than that then it's a right royal fcuk up by FAI and/or the team's management and would be unforgivable. Tuff Paddy, D69er, soccerc - post here, not on YBIG!

Only having a dabble over there Stutts! Not posting anything I've not said here!

**paul_oshea** · 07/02/2011, 10:16 PM

Ya im asking IF stutts good man.sorry kingdom im mobile so even less commas than usual though the way the language is going you don't seem to need them anymore anyway!wondering of timings of said tweets.john kenny is a great dj.but not that involved with sport anymore bar motor racing.mobile puts in stupid words and its not easy put in commas

good to know ppl don't have me on ignore then.test worked Haha

**osarusan** · 07/02/2011, 10:17 PM

I don't see how it adds up. He/Wigan pulled him out of the squad due to an (apparent) ankle knock, he says he's gutted not to be involved, then we're losing him?

When I read this from RTE it seems that Trap says the right things about him not being 100% and how Trap will wait for him.

Crazy comments from Given though. It's only those comments that would make me wonder if there is something else going on.
