I live in Scotland and the media have stopped talking about it. His representative has said it's not going to happen and he doesn't know where this has come from. I'm shocked the Irish media are still on about it.

**Charlie Darwin** · 22/02/2011, 4:50 PM

I think they've stopped here as well. There's minimal interest in stuff like this outside the international window, so I'm sure it will all flare up again in a couple of weeks.

Even 'british manager' Brian Kerr got in on the act and was quoted in that IT Hannigan article, having yet another go at Trap, on stuff he just read about James and assumed it as fact.
Has nobody told him yet, that he has become the quintessential moaning bitter Dub, as he slithers and slides around the bottom of the barrel of professional ignominy.

What's being a Dub got to do with it?

Aren't all Dubs like that!

Ah come on Stutts don't be so naive

Everything is clear now. Craig Levine and Martinez sitting in the stand at the Spurs v Blackpool game.

Saw that myself. Martinez certainly isn't for our benefit anyway.

Being a Dub defines the deformed accented english he moans in.

No thats probably his Belfast roots you're hearing there.

He just got clipped round the ear by Rooney. Playing well against United.

**tetsujin1979** · 26/02/2011, 3:57 PM

was unlucky not to score, according to the radio commentary, but Van Der Sar did well to save

**SkStu** · 26/02/2011, 4:00 PM

saw his chance (the live games here show highlights from other games at half time). VDS made himself big but i would have put money on McCarthy to finish it. One that you'd expect a player to put away.

**SwanVsDalton** · 26/02/2011, 10:58 PM

Didn't think it was that easy. Was a lovely flick played into him, but by the time he got to the ball he had very little of the goal to aim for with VDS closing the space.

Rooney's a thug. Half wished James had of chinned him cold.

Nasty and cowardly elbow from Rooney. Did James tell rooney that he should have played for Ireland or something

**paul_oshea** · 27/02/2011, 11:55 AM

HAHA i was thinking the same seanfhear. rooney surely will get suspended for 3 games or something surely? or will he....

**Stuttgart88** · 27/02/2011, 11:56 AM

Not sure. The ref took action at the time which means retrospective intervention isn't an option. I think.

**tetsujin1979** · 27/02/2011, 12:01 PM

according to football365, it depends on the referee's report - http://football365.com/story/0,17033...783758,00.html

The only obvious way round this for Clattenburg when he sends in his official match report would be to state he saw the clash, but not the elbow.

Even then, the FA would be within their rights to ask exactly why he gave the free-kick considering, without the elbow incident, McCarthy had moved towards Rooney rather than the other way round.

If Clattenburg says he saw the entire clash fully, Rooney will escape sanction, although a three-match ban could see him miss this week's Premier League games with Chelsea and Liverpool, plus the FA Cup sixth-round tie against either Arsenal or Leyton Orient.

**shakermaker1982** · 27/02/2011, 12:10 PM

Ben Thatcher got done that time he took out Mendes. However St Stevie G escaped punishment after trying to take out Welbeck so impossible to say which way FA will sway.
