Calm down ladies. In case you'd forgotten, we're all supporting the same side here.
Back to the point, Martin Rowlands did indeed score a wonderful goal yesterday. Well worth a second look.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Nationalism is an infantile disease, the measles of mankind
Not everybody is Carr's number 1 fan
I have no idea what you are basing any of that on. Personally don't think which one of them is better is even an issue as Finnan should play at left back and Carr right back.Originally Posted by Condex
As it happens I don't think there is really anything between them. I think Carr is slightly better going forward and Finnan is possibly slightly more solid defensivly. I also think that Finnan is a slightly neater passer.
There is no doubt however that they are both top drawer and need to both be accomadated in the team.
What are you talking about, Finnan is just ahead of Harte in the defensive stakes.
Since he rarely ever goes forward I wonder why he was in the premiership team of the year a few seasons ago.
Oh my god, what the hell are you talking about? Have you ever actually seen Finnan play? When has he ever made a defensive mistake? I have seen the guy play upwards of 50 times at this stage and can't recall one single error. WOULD YOU CARE TO POINT ONE OUT?
Finnan is one of the most solid full backs in the premiership, just behind Wayne Bridge in my opinion.
Think you are mixing him up with Graham Kavanagh, anyone hear how he got on at the weekend?
We are the Wanderers from Bray
Harte was one of the best attacking full backs in the premiership a few seasons ago and also in the top 3 dead ball specialists. That is why he was in the team of the year. We all know Finnan rarely goes forward and Condex says he's is a terrible defender so you would have to wonder how he was named in the PFA team of the season.
Yes Kav was good against Brazil, I think maybe it was the Czech Repuplic
I was thinking of, or Holland or......
(memory not good these days)
That is probably why we dropped him.
according to football365....
".....it seems certain that right-back Steve Finnan will join Tottenham for £2m as a replacement for his Irish international teammate Stephen Carr."
Cork City: Making 'Dream Team' seem realistic since 2007.
yeah this has been reported in the london standard, and lot of other news outlets. I think it woudl be a good move for spurs and finnan too, if he does not figure in benitez plans
But not for Stephen Kelly. I've been hoping that he'll establish himself this season now that Carr has gone to Newcastle. I'd rather see Finnan move elsewhere tbh.

The only other club supposed to be interested in him (that I've heard of anyway) is Blackburn, I'd rather he was at Spurs, than under Graeme "let's wreck as many Irish careers as I can" Souness
Seems like they wanted a player which spoke the same language
Noticed Douglas wasn't in Blackburn squad. Injured or surplus?
surplus I'd imagine, he was supposed to be looking for a loan before Ferguson, Flitcroft and Tugay got injured, so made the jump into the first team late in the season and impressed enough to earn a new contract.
Finnan’s first league goal for Liverpool… and what a goal! Where the hell did that come from? He’s looked pretty good for them since the start of the season, so I was a bit disturbed at the rumours of a possible move to Spurs. Thankfully the transfer window’s now closed so he’s got time to impress at Liverpool.
As much as I’ve rated Carr over the years, on the basis of current form shouldn’t Finnan be the clear choice for right back?
We'll have to wait and see what Souness does at United but you may be right about Finnan taking the place of Carr.
Andy O'Brien scored at the weekend as well.
You'd take a few goals from them two in the Qualifiers.
