If McCarthy was manager for the play-offs then the Irish team could well have beaten Slovakia (and N. Ireland) - the team has been a shambles under Kenny. Saying that - even if McCarthy was manager for the play-offs it is unlikely that Duffy would have played ahead of Egan and O'Shea.

Once he was sitting on the bench nobody was going to pay a fee and his contract.

ah now GB - trying to put words in my mouth again ???

While the results weren't great - McCarthy got Ireland to the play-off - Kenny was in charge for the play-off game against Slovakia which ended 0-0 (a poor game where Ireland were the better team) and Slovakia won 4-2 on pens.

Just to repeat - Burnley appear intent on signing Nathan Collins from Stoke (latest bid is £12million) - don't think Duffy goes there if that happens.

No he wasn't - whoever gave him the award needs a kick in the backside. Both Egan and O'Shea were well ahead of him. Duffy had one good block in the second half - but was repeatedly caught for pace, dragging down players, and repeatedly caught in possession. In one instance Molumby (who should...

I would judge his decline against the players he is competing with in the Irish team. He was top dog at CB for several years and is now behind Clark (Newcastle), O'Shea (WBA) and Egan (Sheff Utd) - and falling behind Collins (Stoke - although likely to be Burnley next season) and Omobamidele...

Let's be clear - this is not the first time that there has been a discussion about the contracts the players have on this forum - it has come up on several occasions and I have been utterly consistent in pointing out that we do not know the terms of the contracts that players have, that any...

Do the FA disclose the terms of these contracts?

Doubt that - all reports are that Lallana is on over £90K a week - and is on significantly higher wages than any other player in the squad.

And was always the case - indeed many Irish players played for both international sides over several decades - the great Johnny Carey played 9 times for the North and 27 times for the Republic. From the great Irish team of the late 1940s - Billy Walsh, Davy Walsh, Tommy Aherne, Tommy Eglington...

I wasn't the only one - and I note you chose to ignore the substantive part of the argument :rolleyes:

Players were treated like dirt for more than 100 years - right up until the Bosman ruling. Agents are there to protect the financial interests of the players. The one change that I would make is to limit the commission agents can be paid - in the NFL it is 2.5% of the players contract. The...

The thing of note is that when Ulster Protestants migrate to England, English people regard them as Irish and they often end up drinking with Northern Catholics in Irish pubs. And if only the solution was a simple as building some 4 bed Ds and semi-Ds

Oh yea - as if I am shy about posting on here. Nobody knows the actually contracts there players have - unlike others sports, most football contracts are not public knowledge (this is because there is no salary cap and teams do not have to disclose salary details to anyone). As a result - this...

[ British Imperialism has been trying to get out of the North of Ireland for 50 years - the problem is that they have created a sectarian nightmare that would flare up into a sectarian civil war if Britain announced that it was leaving the North in the morning - and worse for the imperialist...

Google is your friend So a typo now becomes evidence :rolleyes: spotrac is just one source for this info - and I never use info from just one source. And Dunk signed his contract in 2018 - a year before Brighton broke their transfer fee record to sign Webster. Now it is possible that some...

He is under contract to Brighton - he can't go anywhere unless Brighton sell him.

Ireland, just like every other country, apply FIFA and UEFA rules - Townsend's grandmother was born in Kerry - Cascarino's grandfather was born in Mayo (the reason why Cascarino's heritage has been questioned is because his mother was adopted by his grandfather - legally he is Cascarino's...
