Icecream Snow 761 Posted May 16, 2013 He''s just got back from injury and had one save to make. McCarthy''s been in great form, especially when he got a clean sheet against Liverpool.Granted Foster had an absolute shocker though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,013 Posted May 16, 2013 Yeah maybe harsh on McCarthy but its friendlies, perfect time to see what Ruddy can do ! Grrrrrrr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Brownstone 0 Posted May 16, 2013 Can''t really blame Woy for this one, as previously said he''s only played 1 game this year and he had f**k all to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,013 Posted May 16, 2013 After the WBA game im surprised one of us lot hasnt been called up to sit between the sticks infront of Foster !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olly 0 Posted May 16, 2013 He''s played one competitive game in 2013.It''s hardly a surprise Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy_Bones 441 Posted May 16, 2013 I understand what people are saying about his injury lay off, but I honestly believe that if it was Joe Hart who''d been out injured and has only just come back he''d have been included in the squad, but unfortunately Ruddy isn''t afforded the same respect.Before his injury and across all last season Ruddy was excellent and rightly deserved his call up, if Hart is going to be first choice anyway then taking Ruddy as part of a 3 man keeper team wouldn''t have been a real issue.I think that yet again a Norwich player has been shafted by the England management, and whilst there is some minor justification for the call, it''s nowhere near enough to outweigh the positives in Ruddy to make it fair IMHO...

ABC (A Basingstoke Canary) 26 Posted May 16, 2013 [quote user="Nexus_Canary"]Has Woy wost his marbwles ?[/quote] Yep - a long time ago in my opinion, when he defended Gabriel Tamas elbow on James Vaughan (requiring plastic surgery!) by saying "he had seen the replay and insisted it was accidental". Tamas was subsequently charged by the FA with violent conduct! Interesting that the FA employ an England manager who sees a violent elbow to the face as being "accidental" - what an example he is setting (not!) Anyway, getting back on topic, in a perverse sort of way, I''m not too disappointed in JR not getting a call up - it keeps him off the radar and keeps him focussed on improving in our goalies jersey - even if it is "light blue"!

Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted May 16, 2013 Roy has a real big club bias... and Ruddy is only one game back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This instance is probably due to Ruddy only just returning to fitness and action last weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IamonlyoneGuy 0 Posted May 16, 2013 I do agree with Ruddy not being in the squad as he has just come back from a massive injury. I''m surprised that Foster''s back (In my opinion, he shouldn''t be because he turned his back on England a couple of years ago) especially as I thought it read Forster. For Alex McCarthy, who else is there who is good enough?More proof of Hodgson''s bias is including Lescott - who has hardly played - over Michael Dawson. Amazes me.

Olly 0 Posted May 16, 2013 Danny Welbeck''s only scored like 2 goals all season, yet is in ahead of the likes of Lambert.Really is quite baffling some of the selections Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
percy varco 196 Posted May 16, 2013 The FA pick the squad not Woy. Thats why Harry didn''t get the job and an out of form sulky and argumentative fine example that is Rooney may be captain. The England team are shirt sellers. Thats why many people are loosing interest in them. Exactly how is this squad part of our development for the next major tournament?

Shame really because Joe Hart could do with being taken a down a peg or two. He''s good but he''s not truly great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really is quite baffling some of the selections[/quote]While Welbeck''s goal scoring record for Utd could/should be better he is worth his place in the squad and doesn''t have a bad goal scoring for England to be fair. He''ll probably never be a natural finisher but he does give a lot else to the team and that''s why he plays for Man Utd. Plus he''s got another good 10 years infront of him, Rickie Lambert hasn''t.
