Still only 32 , has just secured a new deal with Birmingham (2 years) and has to be better then McShane. On his day Carr is class.

He's our best option bar Finnan doing a Lazarus, but that's not saying a well lot.
"No regrets, none at all. My only regret is that we went out on penalties. That's my only regret. But no, no regrets." -Mick McCarthy
The Birmingham fans reckon he's easily their best signing of the season along with Fahey. They can't praise him enough on their forums
There is a bit of a hole at right back, and he's not so old that it's unthinkable, but he was so consistently just adequate there for us for the last few years that I'd sooner see the lad at Wolves tried there before asking Carr to unretire himself. That said, if it stays a problem position, he might as well be tried.
I dislike him intensely but I'd prefer him at RB to McShane, only as a short term fix.
I'd like to see Foley given first look in Finnan's repeated absence, or if St. Ledger looks good beside Dunne, maybe JOS; or even St. Ledger at RB if Dunne & JOS are kept together. I just have no confidence in McShane anywhere right now.
Prefer him to McShane but I think Carr's time is finished tbh. Give Foley a run, let Finnan get fit and we have two quality right backs, youthful and experienced. Bringing through another centre back (St Ledger?) will allow O'Shea to cover in emergencies.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
I've never liked him but I have seen him 4 or 5 times for Birmingham and he has been outstanding. He is definately an excellent option if he can continue that form next season.
He was a liability in his last few years for us. Yes he has been brilliant for Birmingham this year but he is not that answer whatsoever. His time has come and gone. Such a shame he missed out on the 2002 world cup
He looked good in the games I saw for Birmingham.
If he's willing to play, I'd have him in the team ahead of McShane at fullback any day.
As others have said, Foley would be my first choice with Finnan out though.
I think this is a good idea, short term to come in against the Bulgies, he would probably love to get out there again. Think Trap even knows who he is?
I'm glad he is playing well. It was a long hard road for him to get his form back.
I don't like him, nor do I have any dislike for him, which I thought probably made me his most popular fan here.
But now we have the beginnings of a Stephen Carr appreciation thread.
Even if he does, I doubt he could be any further than the squad/bench by the time of the Bulgaria match.
Rarely does a player enter the squad for the first time and walk into the team under Trap.
Jesus lads do any of you know anything about buidling a squad atmosphere. In the squad possibly in the team no chance.
In Trap we trust
Up to Brady to tell Trap he's Irish. A few months ago I'd have thought this thread was a joke, but if he is playing well then we have to look at all options for RB.
If he plays for Ireland again will he be the first ever Irish player to retire and come back 2 times?
He'll be the only Irish right back playing in a Premiership first team next season. If he'll play, he's a lock to start if Finnan's injury woes continue.
Kevin Foley??:O:O
stephen kelly is still contracted to birmingham, and foley has been promoted with wolves. Both john O'shea and Joey O'Brien can fill in there in a pinch as well, although i don't see that happening
