Chronic the Drug Wasp 6 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 This is the worst England side since that shambles Taylor put together in the early 90s. On Peter Reid, he looks like he's got cancer to me. I hope not cos he's always come across as a canny bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizza 105 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Cahill out with broken jaw, Martin Kelly called up to replace him. Another average Liverpool player in the England squad :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Really is laughable. Both the fact that a) average-to-poor Liverpool players are being called up, and that there aren't really better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TicTacWoe 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) So many decent English defenders and they call up Martin Kelly. Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Shawcross, Micah Richards, Michael Dawson (not sure if he's fit) are all much better. If they wanted a young, promising defender then that Caulker lad at Swansea on loan from Spurs is a better option.

ADP 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wasn't Richards funny about being left out initially? Or that he didnt want to sit on the bench or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4226 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Theres not an english defender in the PL, particularly at the top half clubs, who couldnt have a decent case for being in that england squad instead of martin fucking kelly Willo actually has a better case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4226 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Wasn't Richards funny about being left out initially? Or that he didnt want to sit on the bench or something? just had a look, seems like it is "believed" he turned it down, no quotes or sources, nothing as solid as Carricks case for instance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12461 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Didn't know that about Richards but even so like Andrew's said Kelly would be one of my last choices tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADP 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) Aye same, I actually would have taken Williamson over him.

The Mighty Hog 336 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 It's getting a bit narky now: Rio Ferdinand's representative has accused the Football Association and England manager Roy Hodgson of treating the defender with 'a total lack of respect' after the Manchester United defender suffered another Euro 2012 snub. The FA confirmed earlier on Sunday that Gary Cahill had been ruled out of the tournament after fracturing his jaw in two places during Saturday's friendly win over Belgium at Wembley. It meant Hodgson had another space to fill in his squad, having already used his standby defender, Phil Jagielka, to replace Gareth Barry last week. Ferdinand, 33, would have been the obvious choice given his vast experience, a commodity which England have lost so much of following the injuries to Barry and fellow central midfielder Frank Lampard in the past week. Instead Hodgson has gone for Liverpool youngster Martin Kelly, who made his international debut as a substitute in the final two minutes of the win in Norway on May 26. Hodgson faced a barrage of questions when naming his squad on May 16 about whether he had snubbed Ferdinand because of concerns the centre-back would not be able to get along with John Terry, in light of Terry's impending court case for alleged racist remarks to Ferdinand's brother Anton at Loftus Road in October. Terry denies the charge against him. And it appears the Ferdinand camp feel there is more to today's decision than simply 'footballing reasons', the grounds Hodgson gave for leaving the Manchester United man out of his initial squad. Ferdinand's representative and long-standing friend Jamie Moralee tonight said: 'Lampard, Terry, Barry, Gerrard; all ageing but they go to the tournament. Why is Rio different? 'To treat a player that has captained and served his country 81 times (in this manner) is nothing short of disgraceful. Total lack of respect from Hodgson and the FA as far as I am concerned.' Kelly, who made just 12 Premier League appearances for Liverpool last term, is bound to be relishing his chance. But having lost the equivalent of 143 caps' worth of experience last week when Lampard and Barry were ruled out through injury, then bemoaned how much they would be missed, it is hard to believe Hodgson has ignored Ferdinand - who made 38 appearances last term and started United's last 16 Premier League games - on form grounds alone. That will bring yet more questions of the coach at the first available opportunity after England arrive at their Krakow base on Wednesday providing, as expected, Terry gets the green light to travel after an initial scan on the tight hamstring he experienced against Belgium yesterday indicated there was no serious damage. 'What reasons?????!!!' was Ferdinand's first reaction to his 2.8million Twitter followers as debate raged this afternoon, indicating a sense of disenchantment that is magnified in private as the defender tries to comprehend the decision Hodgson has reached. When he looks at the experienced players who have been picked, Ferdinand could be forgiven for feelings of total fury. Under such circumstances, it is difficult to see Ferdinand adding to his haul of England caps. Being passed over again today means he will never get the chance to play at a European Championships, having missed out on four tournaments now for a variety of reasons. The row over Ferdinand's non-selection is unfortunate for Cahill and Kelly. The latter may suffer from what should have been the greatest moment of his career being badly tarnished. And for Cahill it means his misery at an incident condemned by Hodgson, after Dries Mertens deliberately shoved the Chelsea defender into Joe Hart, is largely being ignored. Mertens has at least expressed remorse for his part in the incident, issuing an apology on his Twitter page today. The PSV Eindhoven forward wrote: 'I sincerely apologize for the harm I've cost to Cahill. When in the heat of the moment, you often don't think about the consequences. 'My thoughts go out to him and I hope he recovers well!' After Jordan Henderson's call-up last week, the inclusion of Kelly means England will leave for Poland and Ukraine with over a quarter of their squad made up by Liverpool players whose performance was so bad last season that manager Kenny Dalglish ended up being sacked. http://www.dailymail...e-hits-out.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bictor 0 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I understand if Ferdinand feels as though he's being left out because of the John Terry issue, but it's stupid how he just expects a place in the team because he has 81 caps and previously captained England. Personally, I think Ferdinand is better than Terry, so he should be the one left out, but if Hodgson didn't think that it's not 'disrespectful' to leave him out.
