Honestly i'd say its debatable whether the Eredivisie is stronger than the championship. It's a really weak league beyond the big sides. I agree with your general point though. Would have been no harm at all to include Crowley for the training camp - you would think he's the type of player to stand out in that setting and possibly force his way into the team.

You're probably right about the Dutch league, but it's fairly obvious to everyone why he's been called up. And to be honest I've absolutely no issue with it, in fact if that's the reason he has, then, well done Mick |

Crowley's paperwork still isn't through in any case. No idea what the delay is.

Farcical that England could get Rice's paperwork through in weeks but it takes this long for us. I wonder is this also the case for Ryan Johansson?

I reckon Rice's paperwork was submitted long before we were made aware of it.

I imagine Mick 'asked around' about Crowley and probably heard very negative things - a big performance was needed from him in the final for Mick to pick him.

No, I don't think it was. As far as I remember, FIFA have tried to speed up the process, so that combined with the English FA putting the squeeze on, and the subservient sheep at the FAI being ultra-cooperative, got the deal through in record time. As I said then, there was zero chance the English would be as facilitating to us, and that seems to have been the case.

How do people know McCarthy or someone on his scouting team didn't watch Luca Connell?

McCarthy stated yesterday that he’s never seen him play other than videos and what’s he’s heard back Edited by Howdo - 22 May 2019 at 10:17am |

It's not the teams job to try and restore positive public perception in relation to the FAI, and nor should it be. Let them focus on the 2 games in hand. Denmark isn't until the 7th June, they'll be in Ireland for long enough around the next 2 games.

Agreed. And to be honest drawing any other conclusion is simply illogical.

A lot of managers just don't like to feel as if they're being told what to do (ie O'Neill with Doherty/Christie, when the pressure to play Doherty became too great he only did so with Christie also shoehorned into the team...). It's effectively just about maintaining a sense of control. Perhaps Mick also feels like he's being pushed by the media to pick Crowley, so he's being more resistant to the idea. Whereas with Connell, there hasn't been the same general clamour, so it feels like a more independent decision to Mick to pick him.

The way Rice situation was handled was a circus. And has damaged the image of the Republic of Ireland as a football nation, because for most of the ordinary viewers the broadcasters said "Irish footballer declared for England" for most football-wise people the corruption in Fai Offices is something known around the football body.

So if Mick took the game up with this kid, kudos to Mick. I keep on saying that Mon-Roy were very ethical about it and it was Rice and his agent and Davy Gold decision. in this scenario we must cap youngsters in dead rubbers or as the American say will be strike 3. (GREALISH-RICE-)
