The Daily Mail is reporting that Scott Carson has been promoted to the #1 slot for the England-Austria game; after manfully trudging on with Spurs’ goal shipping specialist Paul Robinson for what seemed like an eternity – supporting him through his barrel-scrapingly dire form – now the England gaffer has booted him into touch just at the time Robinson’s form has taken an upsurge! D’oh!
After standing by his man, and supporting Paul Robinson to the hilt – even calling him his Schmeichel – Steve McClaren has opted to start with Scott Carson for the Austria friendly match. But why wait until what is almost certain to be his penultimate game to back Carson?
And the Daily Mail, in a veritable double-headed hydra of a story, also reveals that Juande Ramos is showing an interest in Scott Carson – and could hijack his Aston Villa move, so poor Robbo may be usurped both at domestic and international level by Mr Carson.
