    Sounds like a potentially nasty injury for McCarthy after his shin was stood on. Hopefully it's nothing

    edit: BBC were being hysterical then as it seems he's played on!

    It's great to see McCarthy getting the praise he deserves, but I don't understand all the comparisons to Wilshere around the Arsenal game. They're not really similar players at all. The Arsenal game tonight showed Wilshere's best qualities are around the penalty area, and the only reason he's been pushed back into the McCarthy role is because Ramsey is better than him. If they were both at Everton, they'd be playing alongside one another, not either/or.

    The Indo article actually kind of picks up on it. McCarthy reads the game brilliantly, breaks it up and distributes the ball. Wilshere can't tackle for **** but he can create higher up the field, which isn't McCarthy's game to the same extent. I think McCarthy is better pound for pound, but they don't fulfil the same roles.

    It could be a case that, as far as the English press are concerned, McCarthy's career trajectory is upward whilst Wilshere's is static or downward. The ol' hype machine cranked out a weight branded 'Expectation' which has sat heavily on the shoulders of Wilshere. On the other hand, whilst receiving plenty attention from other clubs and, to a lesser extent, the press, McCarthy has come from two unfashionable clubs in Wigan and Hamilton. He's at Everton now which accentuates that upward curve, even if potential is being fulfilled (exceeded?).

    McCarthy is a cracking player. We're blessed to have him. A bit more aggression like Keane and Vidal would be lovely though.

    I wonder does James enjoy a quick toke off a Marlboro light during the summer or a night out?!

    Understated yet dynamic Irish midfielders do have priors in this regard!

    Irish captain when Keane and O'Shea retire? Does anybody else even come close?

    Yeah man, they call gambling a disease, but it's the only disease where you can win a bunch of money.

    Jack Grealish. He'll be 27 by the time Keane retires, and his captaincy of Walsall will have shown his leadership skills.

    Not sure I'm mad about full backs as captains. Centre backs or centre midfielders ideally for me. McCarthy looks like a good organiser as well and should have added some more bite to his game by the end of this campaign.

    Learned some important facts about our James from this thread on the Scotland forum:

    McCarthy vs brown is actually a close one. Both cracking players. He is a real loss to our side but brown at his best would keep him out a Scotland side. I used to rage at his decision to play for Ireland but I've subsequently learnt a few things about the circumstances behind it, non SFA related. I am certain he actually wanted to play for us. He won't be "fit" for the game at parkhead. Mark my words.
    Presumably the "non SFA related" cicumstances refer to Martinez, who was a secret FAI double agent all along.

    So he wanted to play for them, but didnt? That seems strange, but it would go with what was being said on here at the time.

    I was thinking that must have been the case, because nobody could not want to play for the SFA off their own accord...

    No i was asking the question, as I cannot fathom in anyway how a player wanted to play for someone but chose someone else.

    I realise you had your tongue firmly in cheek when posting that, but I just find it funny that someone would say "I am certain he actually wanted to play for us." - if he did then I'm sure he would have.
