You are basically calling him a clown because he did not know that Mc Carthys father has cancer, which in most familes can be kept private for a while. 

Best of luck to James and his family.


Exactly my point Baldrick. I thought I was the only one that recognised it. If you do not know things for definite, dont go on an internet forum making what appear to be factual statements but are nothing other than predictions and personal hunches. Its not going to do anyone any good.

EDIT: Didnt read your 2nd line properly. You're really clutching at straws if you think that TP knew the make up of Trap's squad.

Brianie it depends what type of cancer, so there's still hope that it might not be terminal. 

The very best of luck to the man in his treatment. A very difficult time for himself and his family.


Unfortunately if it wasnt Terminal he would have made himself available, IMO Either way thoughts are with themThumbs Up
 
 
That's my thinking too. I also think it could be a case that his Da may only have been given a month or two which could be a further explanation.

So you dont see it as disrespectful some randomer claiming to be spouting facts about a player in public when in reality it is pure bullsh*t and he doesnt actually have a clue what is going on in said player's personal life?

Really, get off your high horse. Wishing himself and his father well goes without saying. Personally I dont see the need to post it on an internet forum that neither him or his family will real.

It's clear after today no one on this forum really has any inside info on any player.
Looking forward to next campaign when McCarthy is bossing our midfield ( Roy Keane style).

I think I'll stay in the saddle if ya dont mind. TP really has pressed your buttons man, read back this thread in a few days with a balanced head, ya do seem a little upset. All i am bothered about is that yet another person with this terrible disease can confront it and survive, squad selections seem a little irrelevant when news like this is announced

Why do some posters on here believe this to be a foregone conclusion?

Barring injury or a disastrous Euro's I reckon Whelan and Andrews will start the World Cup qualifiers. Trapp has consistently shown that he is very slow to experiment, blood new players or adopt a new style of play and I don't see him doing it for the next campaign.

I think Trapknows he has to change it next campaign...Andrews is 31-32 now and without a club at the end of the season so would imagine he drop down to the lower leagues.

Disagree that Trap is slow to try new young players. He has blooded Ward Whelan McClean O Dea Foley amongst others. Its just that he wont put them in the first XI if they arent good enough or dont suit his style of play. He WILL put them in if they are up to it. He actually acquired a reputation on the continent for placing trust in the young players and preferring them to old players. People on here are throwing names around like tgey are world class players

That's a total myth in fairness, he's totally changed the team over the course of both campaigns, he just does it bit by bit after blooding players in friendlies.

First qualifier v Georgia.

Republic of Ireland
    Line-up
  • Shay GIVEN (GK)
  • Steve FINNAN (-80')
  • Kevin KILBANE
  • John O SHEA
  • Richard DUNNE
  • Glenn WHELAN

  • Steven REID
  • Kevin DOYLE (-77')
  • Robbie KEANE (C)
  • Stephen HUNT
    Substitute(s)
  • Andy REID
  • Liam MILLER (+77')
  • Paul McSHANE (+80')
  • Damien DELANEY
  • Dean KIELY
  • Andy KEOGH (+87')
  • Daryl MURPHY

Play off v France - Lawrence, Andrews & St Ledger all introduced, that's nearly a third of the outfield team.


Republic of Ireland
    Line-up
  • Shay GIVEN (GK)
  • Sean ST LEDGER
  • Kevin KILBANE
  • John O SHEA (-67')
  • Richard DUNNE

  • Darron GIBSON (+63')
  • Joe MURPHY
  • Stephen HUNT
  • Leon BEST

  • Play off v Estonia - Ward, Fahey, Walters & Cox all added to the squad and see game time.

  • Republic of Ireland: Shay Given, Stephen Kelly, Richard Dunne, Sean St Ledger, Stephen Ward, Aidan McGeady, Keith Andrews, Glenn Whelan, (Keith Fahey 78) Damien Duff (Stephen Hunt 73), Robbie Keane, Jon Walters (Simon Cox 83).

Sorry, you're right. I should rephrase that. He is reluctant to use new players that may not suit his style or formation. Admittedly he has brought in a good few, just not always the ones that we might be crying out for.

He has been one of the first names on the teamsheet since his move in JanuaryConfused
 
Well it was in reference to a a previous comment saying he'd been dropped. He had been. But just started for them again yesterday. Prior to that he'd come off the bench in their last 3 games. BUT agree with other posters, he is still featuring for them more than others - but certainly not "one of the first names on the teamsheet".

Andrews is 31 and doing very well at the moment. He'll be 33 when World Cup 2014 kicks off. Hardly past it.

I wouldnt dismiss his chances of staying in the starting XI for a while yet.

Up to McCarthy to break into the team before then. He'll be the mainstay in the Irish midfield for the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

I would think that the short-term nature of the contract was good for both Andrews & WBA. For him, their future in the PL wasn't cemented by any stretch; and for them, they couldn't take a gamble on a player who'd dropped down a league for football (albeit because he'd fallen out with Blackburn). But he's proven his worth and hopefully will get a deal with someone.

Never said he was past it...but no harm to look else where...his contract at WBA is up after next weeks game and he might have to drop down a level don't think he needs to worry about league one anymore in fairness to him.
Ps hope MaCarthy is well bedded in by 2016.

Regarding Brian Kerrs tenure compared to Trap. What young players did Kerr blood? None.
