Alex Mccarthy called up by big Sam.

It's all about opinions.

Joke! Smithies is so much better. Just shows you've got no chance if you're not in the premiership

Tom Heaton was in the squad while Burmley were in the championship?

So is Ingram.

[Ginger Ninja]

What the fark has he done to warrant a call up??

[Hertford Hoop]

What the fark has he done to warrant a call up??

Exactly

Probably Forster putting in a good word

[OneJamieMackie]

McCathy is shot of confidence! What a shock

[Fordy]

That's an absolute joke. Big Sam already p.issed me off putting Walcott in the squad and now this waster.

[Pinkie]

Jesus i thought this was a winde up! this isnt a good sign for england if sams pulling tricks out of the bag like this, & walcott aswell, ppphhffttt

[Shepherds Mush]

Would be an absolute farce if he gets a game over Heaton.

[jmelanie]

He is the third choice goalkeeper and was called up at the last minute to replace Fraser Forster who is injured. There is not much chance he will actually play.

Surely what's more worrying is that 2 months on from a shocking performance at the euros, where we needed our senior players like Rooney and hart to step up, both will be in the team tonight.

Hart should never pull on an England shirt again.

[Tarbie]

Never an England player in a million years. Just goes to show how far a decent reputation will get you in football these days.

McCarthy seems to be one of those players that has the reputation for having "huge potential" and being "a future England international". In reality, anyone who's seen him play more than a handful of time will tell you that's just nonsense.

Not the first time it's happened though, remember Richard Wright & Scott Carson? They were both dog sh*t but managed to get a few England caps in their early careers.

[dave58]

Good enough for England but not good enough for us? Well he didn't cover himself with glory while with us, but as someone says it's all about opinions, which sadly some people on this site don't get, other than their own, Never going to get a game though
