| Mick McCarthy has now weighed in on the Marouane Fellaini row and, disappointingly - even if predictably - he's come down on the side of the Belgian FA. |
By now you'll be aware that Fellaini is facing a 5-day ban for pulling out of Belgium's 0-2 defeat to Estonia last night as the Belgian FA look to invoke FIFA's '5-day-rule' to punish the player and, for whatever reason, the club.
And Wolves manager Mick McCarthy, obviously fearful that the Belgian's laconic pace will be too much for Segundo Castillo, has come out and said he's in full support of the Belgian FA.
McCarthy said: "FIFA are entitled to do it. I had it with Geroge McCartney. He didn't go with Northern Ireland. He was injured and missed the game and was banned for the next match."
He added: "That's the five-day rule. If they don't turn up and play, then the authorities are entitled to ban him from the next game."
What the Wolves manager neglected to mention was that George McCartney didn't miss the game through injury at all, he was playing the Floral Pavillion with Ringo Lennon as part of their two-man Beatles act.
