    I'm all for that, God knows Ireland could do with a few new players and speaking of which Samuel Joseph Szmodics has been called up for Ireland, in fairness he looked decent enough against us.

    Because we don’t have doctors who advise EH as to whether a player is fit or not.

    <doh>

    But let’s not let small details get in the way of your never ending moan.

    Doesn't matter Howe is the manager, he picks the team and you weren't saying this when it was Bruce doing it.

    This injury crisis has always been the managers responsibility.

    Course it matters.

    Also, of course I never said it when Bruce was manager as Botman never played for us then nor was EH manager when Bruce was manager.

    More seriously I never ever said Bruce finished a player’s career by playing someone when he was injured. If I did post it.

    You also need to get over your obsession with Bruce it’s becoming embarrassing.

    The only person who really knows the severity of any injury is the individual themself. I think players have a duty to be open and honest with medics, coaches and team mates. It's one thing putting on a brave face and.playing through niggling injuries, but if something is really causing a problem then it needs rest and treatment.

    The manager is responsible and you were blaming Bruce for the injuries under him , so you can't have it both ways which is why I mentioned it.

    As much as I don’t want to agree with CC, I think he’s got it right.
    I think back to how Bruno was rushed back and was basically **** for a couple of months following him twisting his ankle.

    There are three parties: the players, the management team and the medical staff. Somewhere, someone is clearly making mistakes. Especially considering it’s been very obvious to most fans that Botman has been playing with an injury.

    Then you have Longstaff delaying an operation and playing using injections.

    It shouldn't matter who you agree with if it's correct it's correct. It makes me wonder how many on here can't just swallow their pride. I find agreeing with people very easy if I agree with them.

    Thanks for agreeing with me like.

    It was not so much agreeing with you it was more that I don’t want to agree that I think EH is to blame

    You’re making this up as you go along.

    You make an unsubstantiated allegation about Howe ruining Botman’s career as part of your never ending moan about EH and then drag in Bruce to the conversation due to your embarrassing obsession with him. I haven’t mentioned Bruce for I don’t know how long but you keep dragging him into the conversation. I’m not sure which part of this is difficult for you but no one here is interested in Bruce anymore. He’s an ex manager. He’s history.

    I never alleged Bruce ruined a player’s career by playing him whilst injured against medical advice. If I did then post it or if I didn’t stop making things up to suit your moan and your obsession.

    I know people hate agreeing with me, but it's progress when I start cracking people's code.
