Lads he's not going to be called up for the remainder of the campaign unless we have even more injuries. Trap has shown himself to be a moody old man at times and this is another example. Why else would Trap rely on defenders to cover the midfield positions if Whelan/Andrews get injured when he has McCarthy available.
Fair play to Trap for what he's acheived but I think we tend to let him off the hook a bit. Its not right that he hasnt called up cover. I know McCarthy was very unlucky to injure his ankle against Villareal and miss the Croatia game (altho some ppl still believe he doesnt want to play for Ireland) but why couldnt Trap call up another midfielder. We have other PL players, like Hoolahan for example. Is nobody concerned at the thoughts of Kevin Foley coming off the bench to play centre mid against Slovakia? |

Doubt he'll see any time against Russia though. Just be on the bench again. Great to see him captaining the under-21's though.

I think it's great to see the likes of McCarthy in the 21's! Firstly, it show's ambition from Noel King by having him there, then he rightly so links up with the Seniors!
I don't agree with players simply bypassing the 21s (i'm not saying Mc Carthy im talking players in general) cause they are playing for there respective club teams, by showing the commitment and quality with the 21s they should be merited by being drafted into the senior squad!

I see your point, but if you have a 17/18 year old who is setting the world on fire then I don't see why he can't come straight into the seniors. Like I was quite happy with Robbie coming straight in at 17 and I'm sure England were quite happy getting a young rooney too. National teams should play their best available 11 regardless of age

Yea that's a fair point! But its not very often that these players come along. I'm talking about players leaving there parent clubs on loan and doing well with there clubs, people automatically assume that they should be drafted into the senior squad! Being called into the senior squad should be the highest achievement a player can achieve IMO (as you are considered the best in your country at what you do) yet we seem to give that unbelieveable achievement to anyone "new" on the scene, instead of monitoring and letting them adapt and also understand international football (with the 21s)

Quality, every one is happy now and it should draw a line under everything. For the ones who always backed McCarthy, he is now back in the squad. For the people who thought his pull outs have been a bit suspect, he was 'punished' and dropped to the U-21's. He has now shown his committment to Ireland by turning up for the U-21's and is in to the senior squad after tonight. Lets all hold hands
