..his positioning was OK for the expected cross, nobody in the ground expected him to shoot like that, bit unfair to say it was embarrassing I think.

You're right. Embarrassing isn't enough, humiliating would've been more accurate.

 


Optimistic as ever

..yes, humiliating it was because that player was often too good for many keepers and the fact Seamen missed that ball was because the free kick was hit humiliatingly out of his reach not Embarrassingly.

Thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten how f***ing dreadful that was, actually.

If Jack Butland was available McCarthy wouldn't get a sniff of a place

 


Taking the bungy jump since 1964. Never to see John Jackson in a shirt again

Sorry to see Lee Hills go, did we ever see Alex Marrow? We did January 2013

What are you lot all moaning about, what a joke of a thread!

Butland is Injured, Forster is injured, that's Englands #2 & #3 out so Heaton was called up. Ben Foster has retired from international duty so it would have been him called up in Forster's place but seeing as there are actually no other English keepers in the Premier league who have been called up before, McCarthy got the call.

Good luck to him!

Yes, good luck to him.

By the way, I'm free on Sunday evening if England need me.

I'm not sure "Moaning" is the right word - just many who view McCarthy's inclusion with incredulity and speculating as to whether he would have got the call if he was still at our club and not No 1.

But your post has highlighted the real lack of choices available to Allardyce given that only 4 PL clubs' No 1 keepers are qualified to play for England.

He's so unbelievably bad. I don't understand how Southampton, who should know better with the scouting they have, thought it would be a good idea to buy him. Stealing a living, and now maybe even stealing an England cap. Surely there are better keepers that are actually playing games that could be called up?

 


The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Started the season playing for Norwich but hasn't featured in their recent games.Don't know if he has picked up an injury ? Saw Michael McGovern playing for them recently.

John ruddy and karl darlow are two goalkeepers that spring to mind, daniel bentley is promising, you als have rob green who is getting on a bit and scott carson at derby these day or luke steele playing for panathinakos.

To be fair not much choice, but darlow ruddy and green have looked far more capable then mccarthy ever has.

I would of gone for karl darlow, very promising gk.
