He only got a half hour or so against Slovakia and I remember it as being a pretty frustrating outing for him, too little time to impress and spent most of his time giving out to the officials.
So do daffodils...
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Tinfoil hat time?
With Tricky on speed, willing to do all the heavy lifting, we'll be there in record time.
You certainly will, Arter is still at his club for an injury assessment, seems he has a niggling groin injury that flare up before internationals.
Well done Martin O Neil you are a genius, you and Roy together must be the smartest people on the planet!!!
The dynamic duo!!
Lucky he was able to play the full 90 with the injury.Arter, McGeady (Preston) and Keiren Westwood (Sheffield Wednesday) were absent from training in Abbotstown this afternoon because they stayed back for assessment with their employers. Arter damaged his groin on club duty
Shocking!
A bigger circus than the US presidential elections.

HARRY Arter is due to undergo a scan to discover if the hamstring problem he sustained at Watford will condemn him to a spell on the sidelines.
Arter went to ground clutching the muscle during the first half of his side's 2-2 draw at Vicarage Road on Saturday.
The 26-year-old midfielder quickly returned to the fray and completed 90 minutes but subsequently admitted he was unsure if he would be fit to report for Republic of Ireland duty for World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Moldova.
Arter told the Daily Echo: "It was a little bit sore. I’ll probably have a scan on it on Monday, so fingers crossed it won’t be anything too serious.
"It was very sore in the second half but I was able to get through the game. I just tried to grit my teeth and get through it. We'll assess it now."
Arter's tremendous form would surely have thrust him to the forefront of Irish boss Martin O'Neill's thoughts as a potential starter against Georgia on Thursday.
And his chances of featuring would have been further boosted by James McCarthy not having played for Everton since the end of August due to a groin injury.
But despite being desperate to add to his three full caps, Arter is taking nothing for granted.
He said: "It’s a tough team to get into. James McCarthy wasn’t there last time around (when Ireland drew their opening qualifier in Serbia) and I didn’t get any minutes then. So, hopefully, this time around, if am fit, I will get a few more minutes.
"It’s an honour to represent your country. I always look forward to it whether it’s a friendly or a qualifier." http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/spo...string_injury/
What's your point tricky?
He should have been capped v Serbia, it was a staggeringly blunder not to cap him them, apart from the Martin and Roy are doing a great job.
I'd put it on a par with jumping out of a plane with out a parachute on, not necessarily fatal but the outlook is not good.
So we either should have brought on Arter instead of Quinn (who was key to our turning the tide), Murphy (who scored) or Clark in the closing moments (who is a defender, as opposed to a tough tackling midfielder).
They will if I get my hands on them!

...and all this because Paul Merson didn't know he had been playing for us?
No it's because he knows the rules, we don't apparently.
Roy puts my gut at ease,
in reply to q's about Harry and England.
"We are delighted to have him on board but he is committed to us and it is unfortunate that he has missed one or two games through injury."
Tricky he is ours to lose and I don't see Martin and Roy letting that happen. The fallout would be too much as well as the fact these guys are very experienced. I am sure lots of TLC is occurring to ensure this.
This is being reported by a few twitterists tonight. Not good from MON if true...

Look at the rest of his tweets. David Luiz 'fails medical' at Chelsea...Jack Wilshere signs for Spurs for 35 million..Lucas Perez decides to join Everton instead of Arsenal etc. It is an account taking the mickey.
Miguel Delaney says he asked some FAI guy who just laughed at the rumour and said that Harry is injured.
"We lost because we didn't win"- Ronaldo
Thank goodness for that. There were a few other sources twittering the switch (not the argument piece).
Thought the bbc handle meant he was credible! Doh!
George caulking referred to a rumour about Arter in the Times today. The rest of his article was accurate. We wuz shyte.
According to George Caulkin of The Times, there's nothing to the story: https://twitter.com/CaulkinTheTimes/...48583281750016
Contrary to rumour, Harry Arter is not going to declare for England. The Bournemouth man remains committed to Ireland.
