    Absolutely..this could be a blessing in disguise and the chance of a lifetime for McShane. If he performs in this match I can't see any way back for O'Brien and we will see a future CB partner for Richie Dunne in the making.

    On the other hand if he doesn't perform then we're relying on O'Shea and we're fooked!!

    That's what struck me but then I reminded myself that 50% of Stans decisions left me feeling that way. We've talked about this before though so we'll not got here again.

    Decisions like that just consolidate my view that Stan is totally out of his depth with his constant contradictory decisions.

    Carsley called up to squad

    I think we should show some appreciation for Lee Carsley. Snubbed for these 2 games originally and only more than willing to hop on the next plane over when many others would have told Stan to get stuffed. Fair play to him.

    I agree, fair play to him - hope he gets an extra cheer tomorrow. Especially with so many others crying off injured.

    Fair play to him. He didn't do a Ruud Van N on us... Proves a point about Englishmen playing for us who apparently don't show the same commitment and passion... Cheers Lee.

    i dont think anyone could have blamed Carsley, or been surprised at all if he had had just two words for Staunton , the second one being ''off''

    honestly wouldn't be suprised. Surely out of the 20 players in the squad 1 or 2 are future managers who have a bit of tactical sense and McDonald said everyone had their say. How Stan was allowed (by McDonald) to play Kilbane and Ireland in the centre I'll never know. As I said in another thread we might aswell have played 2 full backs at centre half.

    eirebhoy are you not going to pick out the positives and say it wasnt that bad a result?

    I just give my view and if I usually come across as positive then great. If I felt Staunton would come good I'd certainly be taking the positives but we're going to get nowhere with him in charge.

    perhaps at the team meeting after the cyprus game some of the senior players pushed for Carsley to be called up!!
    i would think this had something to do with it. Pity they wouldnt pt some pressure on him to call up McPhail

    Well if it was the players that asked for Carsley we can at least be sure that Staunton is on a slippery slope as they will start to dictate everything soon. There's obviously no confidence in him (or themselves). Imagine Stephen Ireland (or indeed Kilbane) sitting there and saying 'yeh bring over lee, cos i'm not able to do it'. It's all a bit of a farce at this stage!

    I'm only going on what McDonald and Kelly said but it seems that the players didn't just bite their tongue at the meeting. They talked about the Cyprus match and I'd be suprised if nobody mentioned how the team lacked balance. Stan says the S.Ireland injury was the final straw and called up Carsley so I'll take his word for it.

    I take your point eirebhoy and I agree with it. It's probably to do with injuries. But Stephen Ireland wasn't injured at the time of the meeting. So, it does suggest a doubt in Staunton or their own ability.

    And would you blame him?

    Besides, he is retired. He only offered to com back to help us out cos we're stuck and very badly st that.

    Would people like to back up these types of statements? Even quote someone?

    He's got a point though eirebhoy. I've said it before that Carsley is a decent enough player but no messiah by any means. I really don't think he'll make that much of a difference.

    I don't recall anyone saying anything too positive about him whenever he appeared for us and there was hardly a murmur when he retired. I find the clamour for his return indicative of just how far we've fallen.
