    What a complete joke of a manager Phil Brown is, imagine saying that in the press about any player let alone one still in your squad.
    He's a sap without a doubt. Tries to be the whole "I tells it like it is. Some people don't like that but that's just me. Deal with it" persona, like an auditionee for Big Brother.... Then turns up on Goals on Sunday, on the couch with a Pink Jumper draped around his shoulders the whole time.... Indoors... On a couch... A bit too self congratulatory too. Don't like him at all.

    As good a move for Folan as you could expect really. I don't rate him though.
    I pity the fool!.... But suggest ways that he might improve himself.

    Going from working with Phil Brown to Gareth Southgate will be fantastic for his confidence.

    Phil Brown is a joke of a manager who is bluffing his way in the big time.

    Folan Injury

    Looks like Caleb is out of the upcomming qualifiers. Thats a big blow as its handy to have him comming on for the last half hour to annoy defences. I wonder will trapp call up a replacement

    I don't rate the guy myself but obviously Trap does so it is a big loss. He seems to be the guy who comes on with half an hour to go and tries to get his head involved in the long ball play.

    Gary Doherty could still do a job for us there. Cillian Sheridan maybe? Clinton Morrison would probably be the best striker not called up but he won't get a call up for obvious reasons.

    What is the 'obvious reason'? My memory us not too good
    I notice he has 6 goals in 10 games this season, 2 top scorer in the
    Champ, so he is on form.

    It's a pity alright considering how well he did in the away game against Italy particularly but Best looked pretty sharp against South Africa so hopefully he can provide a similar service if required.

    Doherty playing CB for League One, Norwich and not even making the bench from what I can see.

    Sheridan yet to find the net for bottom of the table championship side Plymouth (one for the future).

    How are these sensible options?

    What are the obvious reasons for Morrission not getting called up - have I missed something?
    I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

    Clinton deserves a recall but I think the Trap will just use Keogh if needed.

    Skysports said that Folan's move to Boro will be made permanent in January- probably for the best given the comments from both sides.

    100% behind Folan on this, Brown is a joke of a manager, and to say the stuff he said about Folan is totally unprofessional.

    i too would like to know what the obvious reasons are. his strike record (at club and country level) is pretty good.

    a lot better than folan for example.

    i can only imagine he (like reid, ireland) had some sort of falling out with people in the FAI / other players in the squad.

    he turned down a loan move to QPR in the January window. There is something about this lads attitude that is lacking.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Not sure i would agree with you on that one SkStu,

    with the current problems in QPR at the moment and that they are going through managers like knives go through butter. They have had about 10 different managers in the last 3 years, so i would imagine that came into calebs mind when he decided to turn them down. I realise it was only a loan move but if a club doesnt have consistency with managers then a player cant be blamed for being cautious about signing for them.

    Im presuming Mick harford or Paul Hart made the offer - Hart managed to hold on for his job for just 1 month, how long Harford?

    I think its probably best that Caleb try to resurrect his career at a more stable club

    Easy C scores two today. First he didnt know too much about.

    Having been credited with the first, Caleb Folan grabs his second - and there's no doubting this one is his. Set through by Richard Garcia, the striker takes a touch and clips it over David James and into the corner. Advantage Hull again.

    Folan just scored his second of the game. Has been caught offside multiple times but took his chance brilliantly.

    I heard Forlan had fell out with Brown over something, no idea what.
    Anyway Portsmouth just got two goals back, one form Jamie O'Hara (free kick I think).
    Hull needed a win, it looks like they may be going down.
    Wigan are winning.

    Footballs a strange game...one minute you're a goal up and Wigan are headed for a nil all draw and the you're losing and Wigan are 1-0 up. Am happy for Kanu though (and that Zinedine wasn't at fault for the goals).
