Interpolic Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Amazed at that like, fucking hell. Something needs to be said about Richards, he wasn't fancied by Capello either so fuck knows what's going on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hodgson on Micah Richards: "It was difficult. In Phil Jones we have a player who has done well at rb. It was one of Jones or Richards" A week later, calls up Martin Kelly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliottman Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 There's obviously a reason for it, the decision clearly isnt based on talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley17 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 It's a player called up purely for cover. Probably wanted to give one of the young lads an experience with the main squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 To be fair to Simpson he's right, mind I don't know were he thinks he should be in the England set up but he's deluded if he thinks he's good enough. Why Richards isn't picked is baffling, there's obviously something wrong there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why Richards isn't picked is baffling, there's obviously something wrong there. yeah it is a bit odd. considering hodgson mentioned richards a few days ago, i can see it being a case of richards turning his nose up at being named as a reserve player.

Aye dont see the issue, it would be a giant kick in the balls for Richards to go to Norway as cover and then be told 'cheers now fuck off son' a day later. Young lad gains experience while Chelsea players have the weekend off nowt more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 To be fair I'd rather play Kelly than Johnson. Johnson has already shown hes a liability at international level.. No idea how he gets picked.. Not like he had an amazing season either.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

durhamunigeordie Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Butland has played about 20 games in League 2. There are surely a fair number of better options than him, Forster being just one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I think they leave one of the keeper spots, for a young keeper to gain experiance. As long as Forster stays north of the border he will struggle to make the England squad. Maybe that's why he is stalling over staying at Celtic.

Jack Flash Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Very serious questions need to be asked about why England have got such a small pool of players who are capable of being called up to the squad. There's some deeply embarrassing names in there when you consider the PL is claimed to be the best in the world and England in general is supposed to be a footballing superpower.
