I thought McCarthy was a Scot... why does he play for Ireland?

Get rid.

If this is correct he's effectively flicked us the v's , if that's the case he can do one , the sooner the better.

He's from Glasgow mate.

Shame because he's been very good when fit this season, but Koeman doesn't take fools lightly.

Gone in the summer.

It's not his choice.
If he's called up, he has to go.
If he refuses, they can stop him playing for us.

I can't get my head around this. Surely a player has the right to say 'no I don't want to play for you'. Surely they cannot be forced to play. So if England picked Scholes or John Terry after there decisions to retire from International football got selected then they would have to play?

Technically, yes. Look at what happened to Matip and the ANC

You cant call up players who are officially retired. You can however call up "active players" , happened with matip

Did he play in a game?

Eggsyblueskin · March 31, 2017

Just watching Koeman talking about McCarthy, the fact he had carefully prepared a statement, pointedly mentioned it wasn't the first time he had acted against the advice of the medics all coupled with his general demeaner , strongly suggest to me we won't see McCarthy in a Everton shirt again.
