AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 It hardly reflects badly on us that we don't want him to play, teams do this all the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Five Live mentioned our displeasure as fact this morning like. I can see the interview now. Carroll's scored the winner on his international debut against France at Wembley. Reporter: WELL WHAT DO YOU THINK NEWCASTLE WILL MAKE OF THIS!? They must be FURIOUS!

Nobody Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 If this was Rooney, or Terry - the FA would follow Man Utd/Chelsea's wishes. Fucking piss take. Difference is that them two probably couldn't care less about a friendly, while this is a massive game for Carroll. Carroll will do anything to play in this, and fair play to him, so he should. If more players had that attitude towards playing for England, then maybe we wouldn't look so fucking dire half of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If more players had that attitude towards playing for England, then maybe we wouldn't look so fucking dire half of the time. I understand that, but in the same respect he should not be willing to risk himself for a friendly, when he will have plenty of opportunities in the future. Ashley is probably telling them to play him so he can claim compensation when he gets injured Was thinking the same earlier. Wouldn't surprise me at all.

stozo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Let the boy play! If I were in his shoes, I'd be fucking furious if someone from my own club tried to stop me. So if he pulls his groin and is out for a month are you still going to be saying that? It is madness for him to play. If he plays tonight this will be his 4th game in 10 days and he will be playing it not fully fit. On top of that if he does come through he will then have to play again on Saturday. You simply cannot expect a 21 year-old to be playing 5 games in 13 days and not feel the effects later in the season. He needs a rest and there will be plenty of other chances to play for England.

Neil Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 England's play now looks set to be dictated by a 6'3" 21-year-old from Gateshead. I wonder what that's supposed to mean. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 You only have to look at the headlines and what Capello has been saying to see that Carroll is the future for England regardless if he plays tonight or not. As much as I want to see him play tonight, Newcastle comes first. If there are ANY doubts, he shouldnt be playing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oakie Doke Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 as much as watching him crush a few French defenders would make my evening more entertaining, I'd rather he didn't play and was definitely fit for Bolton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 He's training so he's probably ok. Highly doubt he's even injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Antec Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 He will score a goal, put the "hush finger" towards the french bastards, go straight out on the piss, hump a couple of London WAGs and then come home safe and sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as we need him he will probs only play 45 minutes anyway. its the clubs fault for not investing in another striker of quality and instead spending money to turn the gallowgate stand into a giant sportsdirect carrier bag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
