Stephen Carr retires from international football!
http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?h...+quits+Ireland
Republic of Ireland defender Stephen Carr has announced his international retirement.
The Newcastle ace believes the time is right to quit the international scene after Ireland's failure to qualify for next summer's World Cup finals.
Carr is the third player to quit Ireland following the decisions by Roy Keane and Kenny Cunningham to announce their international retirements.
The full back's decision comes as something of a surprise as he is still only 29 and has only won 39 caps for his country.
"I have made my decision, and there is no going back for me now," Carr told Newcastle's official website.
"I just feel the time is right to call it a day with Ireland. It was disappointing for the squad, the manager, and the whole country that we didn't qualify for the World Cup.
"I would have loved to have represented my country in Germany next summer and maybe called it quits after that, but it wasn't to be.
"Failing to qualify for the World Cup was a huge disappointment for me personally. I missed the last World Cup because of injury, and this time we ended up finishing fourth in the group so we didn't go through.
"I think it's time for me to stand aside now, and let some of the younger lads coming through have the opportunity to play for Ireland.
"I'll be 34 the next time the World Cup comes around and at that stage of my career I wouldn't feel as though I could do myself or Ireland justice in the competition should we get through.
"This has been a tough decision for me to make, but I have no doubt it is the correct one for everyone concerned."
Carr also voiced his support for under-fire Ireland manager Brian Kerr.
Kerr's position has been the subject of intense speculation in recent days following Ireland's failure to reach the finals, but Carr hopes the Football Association of Ireland keep faith with Kerr.
"Brian has done a fantastic job and I sincerely hope he is allowed to continue as manager," added Carr.
"I hope the FAI give him their full backing and a new contract because he deserves it.
"It was difficult for him to take over from Mick McCarthy after the 2002 World Cup, but he has brought some good players through and is very popular with the squad.
"I think people should lay off him and support him as the squad regroups."
The Newcastle ace....
best news ive got all week.
no big loss really as we have finnan , he obviously doesnt think we can get to the Euros in 2008
I wonder whos going to Retire next ?
ever since he had that operation that cost him a few yards of pace he has never been the great player of old.
Not a major loss IMO. His attitude was highly questionable in the last few years and was unhappy playing for Ireland. Finnan will get an automatic start in that position now and was always the better of the two.
Plus it will give young kelly a run at the position now as well.. I hope who ever takes over as the manager gives caps to 5-6 of those promising players coming through. Strokes, Kelly, Mac Geady, S.Ireland, Doyle and all the rest
i wouldnt give caps to stokes and ireland just yet!
Not a huge loss as stated above but it's always a plus to have a few decent players for a position, what if Finnan get's injured or loses form? Kelly isn't even getting his game at the moment. S. Reid could fill in but he didn't play yesterday and I'd rather see him play in CMF.
Can someone explain to me why Carr is so unpopular? I'm not being smart, this is a genuine question.
I know why he's unpopular with most of the media, treats them like sh!te apparently (and rightfully so, say most of this forum's visitors).
How so??
So Stephen, you didn't think your experience might help us out in qualifying for the Euros? Thanks a bunch. So much for pride in playing for your countryI agree with other posters that Finnan is a better option is at RB, but what happens if Finnan is injured. We put our faith in young Kelly without a senior cap to his name?
International retirement at 29, what a joke. Fcuk off Stephen Carr
JERRY: But are you still master of your domain?
GEORGE: I am king of the county. You?
JERRY: Lord of the manor.

Well said Davey..i agree completely...if this is Carrs attitude the Irish team are a lot better off without the clown..
yep. he's been a right bag of shi te for the past few years.
I
Wish him all the best, was very unlucky with injuries. Would rate Finnan over him myself
dont hold it against any player that decides to retire from international football early - its their lives after all
DAN CONNOR HATES CITY, HE HATES LANGERS
he was sulking a lot and had a few tifs with the manager AFAIR. His performance on the pitch for ireland wasnt his best either.
