General discussion / Re: The OFFICIAL FAI Thread.....Roll on Euro 2012

Well I know personally one of the players who was supposed to be a "no show" even was named in the team but his physio at his club phoned the FAI on Sunday...He has a niggling injury...Probably could have played but 6 weeks rest is advised by a professional physio to keep him right for next season and considering Stoke start back 2nd July was advised not to play!! It's Traps fault if the messages are not being relayed to him...
Not talking about this players case, but in general the whole thing seems so haphazard and unorganised, surely top priority from an FAI point of view would be knowing you had all your ducks in a row so to speak? Have contacted players, or at least make sure they know who to contact if they have to withdraw? I think the procedure is that the player's club physios and the Irish medical team have to liase on injuries, if not or any doubt and the player should be over here so the Irish team medics can make an assessment. Seems in the case of McCarthy the Irish medics don't accept the Wigan diagnosis but there was no firther reply from Wigan on the matter. It's a mess at the moment, not just for Ireland either by the sounds of it.

Your Right that's the way it supposed to happen...The player i'm talking about missed last years FA Cup final through Injury...The FAI asked for scans which he gave them and they accepted that... I mean your not going to fake injury to put you out of the cup final...Seems like a right mess just hope its sorted soon!!
