QuoteMaybe John Dor(lane)y could pull a few fins and hook him into the squad.
If only he was 20 years older I think he would have linked up very well with Tommie Koi-ne, had he gone to USA 94.
Yes, he'll need to do a heck of a lot to get a look in before the Euros. Walters does much the same job, has done it in front of Trapattoni and is scoring in the EPL. Still, you never know.

Conor Sammon, aka the slickhead with sole.
84 minutes this weekend; subbed off for the lad who scored the winner. Rodallega left on the bench. Four points and five goals in the two games with Sammo in the starting line-up!
Sammo was taken off after 60 minutes or thereabouts and i have to say both myself and the match commentator felt sorry for the lad. He was asked to play in the lone striker role with no, and i mean, NO support. He won countless flick ons and worked hard but there was no team mate even close to him. He was chasing his own flick ons. The commentator was still lamenting Sammo's substitution after the final whistle.
Shocking from Wigan. Shocking from Martinez. McCarthy was anonymous except for one burst from midfield which came to nothing when they were 4-0 down.
Sent off after catching Carrick in the face with a flailing arm. Very harsh.
Didn't see the sending off unfortunately, but there should be a replay coming up in a minute.
Seems a real pity because it has ruined the match as a contest.
It was clumsy and blatantly obvious and that's what probably got him busted. He seemed to catch Carrick's nose with his palm. Carrick got up on the count of 8 after much exaggerated concern over the state of his nose. The ref was a good distance away and probably assumed it was done by an elbow.
How fast does an ref have to be in order to pass his EPL physical? I can't imagine Dowd being capable of doing the 1500m inside 10 minutes.

Alex Ferguson usually gets to decide if a ref is suitable for (him) the job !Originally Posted by geysir
Well I could not see much on the replay as the stream kept freezing.
Anyway I have switch to the West Brom Man City match hoping Long might grab a late winner
I figure he has more chance then Best at Newcastle.
I see Man U now have 5!!
Are you sure you make the sensible choices, TC?
The sopcast stream from ESPN Canada has been clear and stable for me.
A sensible enough choice, no point watching McCarthy in a non-contest with Man U, I think
the 5-0 result confirms that!
I can't get sopcast to work anymore, it has been that way for a number of years now, not
sure why but I have given up on it as a dead loss. I think maybe my ISP is blocking it
or maybe it is being blocked in the UK. I have not put too much effort into finding the truth of the
matter as it is easier to uses one of those embedded streams once you get past the adverts.
Anyway on the West Brom highlights Long had a fair chance of a goal with a header but he put it wide.
I see Best was subbed on 61 mins anyway.
Mind you some good goals from Bervatov, he's a great player to watch.

Even Ferguson called it harsh.
Apparently Sammo missed a great headed chance earlier in the game; seems his heading still has a long way to go yet.
A shame, he's a great leap on him.
Well let's hope Fergie has no plans on poaching salmon.
I don't remember that. Wigan didn't really do anything until the few minutes before he was sent off.
edit: just saw it now - he got a bit ahead of the ball but I think the cross was too high anyway. He looks clueless from crosses though.
Fergie is generous in spirit - after he wins.
Sammon did miss a sitter with a badly mistimed leap.
This is true.
Was never, ever, ever in a million years a red card. Shocking decision. Wasn't even an elbow; just a leading hand in Carrick's face by accident.
MotD commenting on how it was all upstream for Wigan after that. Reckon he should change his name by deed poll or something!
Carrick went down like Elias in that scene in Platoon, not even a free kick in my opinion.
I think there is no question that it was a foul.
You see Sammon clearly enough, committing the foul in the video replays.
Sammon red card
A red card was a preposterous decision. The appeal will be interesting as would Dowd's opinion after he viewed a replay.
