JH Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 club before country. We pay his wages. It should be our medical staff to assess whether he's fit or not. I don't think that should be the case like - otherwise every player ever called up to international duty would pull out with an injury. Plus it sounds like he's the one pushing this - he sounds desperate to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 'Late fitness test' - can't believe that. What is that tonight? A world cup semi-finale? Or at least a qualifier? No, it's a fucking friendly, he shouldn't be involved if he's not 100 % fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Presumably a fitness test assesses whether he's fit, so if he passes it he's OK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 Presumably a fitness test assesses whether he's fit, so if he passes it he's OK. He won't be, this is the same England fitness team that said M Owen was fit to play in the 2006 world cup when he clearly wasn't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's a fucking friendly, he shouldn't be involved if he's not 100 % fit. If this weren't potentially his first cap he would've been pulled out of the squad a while ago. Not to mention how short England are on strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The back 5 pages of The Sun were pretty much dedicated to him today.....he's definitely made it now! My nerves of seeing him get hurt overshadow the excitement I feel for him, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The thing is: I'm sure Derek Wright who is our physio is also your NT's physio. If Carroll gets injured on his watch then he should be sacked the moment he gets back to Newcastle. Carroll should also realise that he'll have plenty more opportunities to play for England. He doesn't have to be Superman and play in a fucking friendly today to prove how committed to the cause he is. Let's be honest, you're not exactly loaded up front so he'll get his chance sooner rather than later and there's still two years until the Euros for him to earn his place up front.

Dave Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 i'm willing to bet he'll break down in 5 mins given englands track record of having a clue about player fitness I don't think he's the type of player who would break down and go off tbh.
