Beren Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wow, we really are dropping like flies. Sweepstake on the next player to fall? Martin Kelly over Micah Richards ffs! Howay man Roy, what the f*** are you playing at? It seems like Hodgson's forgotten all about Liverpool's terrible season - 6 players . Perch would have been a better choice (and I'm being serious). Mark Ogden @MOgdenTelegraph Micah Richards should've been in initial Euro squad, but had he accepted a stand-by role, he'd now be going. His 'no' opened door for Kelly. If I was Micah Richards and told to play second fiddle to Glen Johnson, I'd tell them to fuck off too tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 2 - Martin Kelly made 18 more successful tackles (42) than Gary Cahill (24) in 17 FEWER PL apps last season. Selected. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowen Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Refusing to be on a backup list, or go if you're not first choice, is an utterly pathetic and childish attitude to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Refusing to be on a backup list, or go if you're not first choice, is an utterly pathetic and childish attitude to have. Didn't know he'd refused the back up list. I don't see how it's accepted he refuses the back up list because he should've already been in there. If you're overlooked for a promotion that common sense dictates you should have got, do you refuse the potential chance next time a promotion comes along? You grow up and take it on the chin. Not many people may agree with some of Hodgson's decisions, but he's the boss. Stop acting like a petulant little shit and get on with proving people wrong.

Fenham Mag Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Gary Lineker @GaryLineker Yet another injury blow. Gary Cahill out. Time for @rioferdy5 ? No. Micah Richards then? No. How remiss of me, has to be Martin Kelly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Refusing to be on a backup list, or go if you're not first choice, is an utterly pathetic and childish attitude to have. Bollocks is it. He's a grown man with freewill, he can do what the fuck he wants, same as you. He doesn't owe the national set up anything. If he wants to spend his summer with his family rather than training, then sitting on a bench during every game - what's the problem? He can order his priorities in life however he wants to. Under no obligation to buy into all this false camraderie shite. Equally, if England don't want to pick him because he turned down second-spot, that's their prerogative and their entitlement. Richards (to my knowledge) has not complained about Kelly going. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I really don't get the Martin Kelly outrage tbh, it's a bit shit that Richards wasn't first choice, but it's not as if Kelly looks a poor fullback. It's not like the Downing selection in any case, which is just completely undeserved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sifu Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Refusing to be on a backup list, or go if you're not first choice, is an utterly pathetic and childish attitude to have. Indeed but I can understand Richards' point of view, he was part of the PL winning side after all and then to be told that you would be backup to Glen Johnson (whose team had a quote forgettable season) would be enough to p*ss anyone off. Still though, Richards should have shown a better attitude about not being selected. He's pretty much jeopardised his future England prospects imho.

Mole_Toonfan Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Anyway with how we plan to play the defence isnt an issue as any defender can look good when you defend with 11 men.... its how exactly are we going to create goal scoring opportunities with Parker, Gerrard and Milner in midfield with Walcott/Ox and Young infront of them which is the main problem Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gggg Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 If that's true about Richards he can fuck off. Yup. calling up a 34 year old for a tournament we've got no chance of doing anything in doesn't make sense either, that's obviously not down to football reasons anyway Everyone says put the youngsters in the squad, until it happens... I don't see a massive issue here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
