what i remember it being was mccourt said he never thought he would get picked by roi.

Birmingham 1-0 up. Marty mcFly out of a job by the end of the day perhaps.

**Yard of Pace** · 19/03/2011, 2:50 PM

McCarthy playing very well according to Sky's reporter.

**Sullivinho** · 19/03/2011, 3:57 PM

Finished the game as fit as he started it. Conor Sammon got a 30 minute runout. Wigan win 2-1.

Indeed. For numerous reasons.

**paul_oshea** · 19/03/2011, 4:09 PM

i actually read that as rumours reasons and thought it very funny.

How many black cats will cross his path and mirrors will he break in the next 48 hours?

Are Wigan playing Sunderland on Monday night?

straight from mccarthy's mouth

"I hope to play against Macedonia next weekend and that will put any talk of Scotland to bed once and for all. There can be no going back after that."

I strongly suspect that this statement will lead to Roberto Martinez kidnapping James and forcing (probably at gun point) James to whatever pitch that Scotland are playing on. James will then be forcibly togged in Scottish football regalia by Roberto and Craig (Levein). After James has played competively to tie him to Scotland, Craig will vow never to reveal what he knows about Roberto.

Still amazes me how mature McCarthy is for a guy his age. This interview really shows it was all just Martinez blowing smoke and Trap's english being misinterpreted horribly.

**geysir** · 20/03/2011, 11:22 AM

Trap was also misled by Martinez saying repeatedly that James still had a choice to make.

**boovidge** · 20/03/2011, 11:29 AM

I still can't understand what Martinez was playing at. Even if he is mates with Levein surely it's not worth all the bother he's been to, increasing pressure on one of his best young players and making himself look ridiculous.

Was very peculiar indeed. You have to wonder where he was getting his info. Surely he'd be in constant contact with McCarthy. Was he just making it up then about James being undecided?

**Crosby87** · 20/03/2011, 12:50 PM

I dont even want to think about RM's mouth when it comes to Young James.
We should all chip in to send POSH to be his bodyguard until he arrives safely in Dublin. Can you take off tomorrow POSH? Do you have a nice suit? We can chip in for that as well if not.

Marty is a studio analyst for ESPN America during the Euro's/World Cup and I get the impression he likes the sound of his own voice and the publicity/profile it gives him. The McCarthy "file" has kept Marty's name continually in the press. The fact that he is using his star player to further his own profile with his utter ****** musings does not seem to bother the Napoleon complexed one.

**Sullivinho** · 20/03/2011, 1:32 PM

"I've had to contend with this for a few years. But it has really all stemmed from other people wanting it to happen. Some people may have thought I was going to pledge myself to Scotland but that was never really on my mind, although a couple of people did speak to me about it."

Referring to the Scots contingent at Wigan there I reckon. Maybe Martinez too. Hard luck lads.

I always get that impression when I hear him. The way he elongates every sentence with unnecessary detail and generally goes on.
