James McCarthy

[Professor Toffee]

Rather he will be fit. He obviously aint. Will another week make any difference? Doubt it.

Does it really matter any more, busted flush

Heard someone saying that McCarthy didn't pick up an injury, just that he didn't feel 100% after the warm up.

He Shouldn't of been there. If a player isn't playing for his club for 2-4 weeks prior to an international break, I don't see it as fair that he then has to go on international duty.

Players also don't say no to international managers becuase they are fully aware that it may affect their chances in the future.

I think all in all international football is a complete wasteland, where has been managers ply their trade.

Sad but he finished I reckon

Exactly the lads a joke, happy to take our wages. I would get shut in the summer he's more trouble than he's worth with the national side. Take £15 million from a Newcastle/West Brom and run

The problem is though Ireland can request that he goes with the squad and then their doctors have a look at him, after looking at him they've deemed him fit.

You know where Jim McLoughlin learnt his trade

Indeed....I also seem to remember Keely crushing a few players in Hoops at Milltown while he was wearing the lily white!!

...as I said to @davek, it'll pop again so it's not good news that he was declared fit tonight.

I think he knows, it was just another dig at Koeman.

...and Roy Keane complains about Everton. If I remember rightly we lost Darren Gibson for an age following an Ireland game.

For me, if they aren't fit for their club in the previous game they shouldn't travel.

I agree mate, if he's not fit enough to play for us then Ireland should accept that. I mentioned it above though, Ireland can request that he go and be checked by their doctors, obviously they declared him fit enough to play, saying that though, McCarthy must have had some input as well.

You have God knows how many people fake a bad back to get out of work mate I'm sure James could easily claim a twinge if he had the clubs best interests at heart. He's more committed to country than club which is fine for him but I would get shot as it's us paying his wages not Eire.

Its crazy that it should come down to such a lack of trust, Everton and the fitness team said he was injured, he hasn't been in the match day squad for a month. It's ridiculous that this has happened.

 

[maccavennie]

they've just said he walked past the reporter grimacing holding his hamstring in the tunnel

 

[Nymzee]

Great news. It means he's fit.

90 minutes here and he's good to go for the derby.

Aye, definitely fit isn't he mate.

He won't say no, I feel many players won't risk saying no as it won't reflect well on them in the future. Keane and O'neil are a pair of jokers, both failed PL managers.
