Friend of the Forum: Big Mick McCarthy

so we’re agreed he is irelands first choice?

No there are better players at primitive football out there. Doyle was only a use at that when he was lean and had a good attitude on the pitch. He should probably think about GAA now.

His touch is shit.

Takes it down with deft control, maintain’s poise and sticks it in the back of the net.

You’ve been watching too much of the fat Swede doing YouTube tricks with oranges.

Let’s move onto KIB’s second point - that McCarthy ruined Foley.

This was Kevin Foley who was playing in League One for Luton Town before McCarthy bought him. He was a regular straight away under Mick and was player of the season in his second season there as the club won promotion to the EPL. Despite injuries restricting his appearances in his first season he has been a regular for Wolves in the EPL when fit but still hasn’t managed to replicate the dizzy heights he achieved at Luton before Mick got his hands on him.

McCarthy has ruined nobody, in fact he has done very well to get where he has with such a limited squad. It’s an all too common occurrence for KIB to get it so wrong. The fact that he thinks the problem with Doyle and Hunt is McCarthy exemplifies all you need to know about his football insight - this is a guy obsessed with pace after all.

Isn’t that one more win than Italia '90 which is the greatest Irish sporting moment in history, of all-time, ever?

Same number mate, ROI beat Romania In Italia '90.
Surprised you forgot that…

FFS

We had one win in USA 94 as well and against the team that got to the final in the end as well.

McCarthy could only guide us to a draw with the eventual runners-up.

Sid’s decline continues…

Bruce, Curbishley and Warnock are those in line. They will hardly revolutionise the place

Daily Mail trying to make a story of nothing. Would be amusing but…

Roy Keane has emerged as a candidate for the vacant manager’s post at Wolves.

Second interviews are scheduled to take place this week but early favourite Steve Bruce is reluctant to accept the job on a short term basis until the end of the season, which the club were keen on.

Former Sunderland manager Keane recently said he was happy to continue in his role as TV pundit where his hallmark no-nonsense approach has upset the likes of Arsene Wenger.

However, the challenge of keeping Wolves in the Premier League is attractive to the 40-year-old.

Keane getting the Wolves job would be karma for Wolves for sacking Big Mick. Backing them for relegation would be like buying money.

No one can keep them up now after the state McCarthy has left them in. It would take a miracle.

Mick would have kept them up like he did last season.

He’d have been better making his effort to keep them up from the start of the season instead of waiting until after February to make his trademark “burst”. Out with dinosaurs like McCarthy and his chummy mates in the beeb, in with the likes of Lambert and Rodgers.

Wolves have never had it better in recent years and now they are suffering from delusions of grandeur. Big Mick was too good for them anyway, they’ll be back where they are now, in the championship with the possibility of having a halfwit like Keane in charge.

Karma is a cunt and Wolves are about to reap it.

Walter Smith is now the favourite to succeed Big Mick
