it doesn't mention the part where he's a terrible manager and a complete tool! oh well. :P NaLaochra 23:43, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Get the hell away with you. Mick is a great manager, the whole Sunderland thing *is* Bob Murry's fault, he's like a modern day scrooge, no money for good players = crap team = Murry blames Mick for the problems and fires him.

[edit] Bias

"McCarthy was heavily criticised for his handling of the player. Due to this (considering the quality of players available to him such as Robbie Keane and Damien Duff) he had an awful campaign, reaching the Second Round to be eliminated by Spain in a penalty shootout. His only saving grace was that Ireland went undefeated in the 2002 FIFA World Cup.

Due to his poor handling of Roy Keane he has become a hate idol for Irish football fans. Though saying that he was never popular even as an Irish international. Nicknamed Captain Fantastic sarcastically, he was a technically inept centre back of limited use. Pro Mick McCarthy fans are disparagingly labelled McCarthyites."

This whole passage is one sided and biased.

1. While he did come in for criticism over the Keane affair, there was a fairly even split on which side people camne down on.

2.Ireland did have some quality players in the 2002 WC, there was also a lot of dross and it was widely considered that Ireland had a succesful campaign.

3. McCarthy wasn't either a particularly reviled or poor player for Ireland, and while "Captain Fantastic" may have begun sarcastically, it certainly wasn't by the end of the Italia 90 tournament.

The article also omits his media career.

THIS ARTICLE IS A COMPLETE JOKE - TALK ABOUT BEING WRITTEN BY SOMEONE HEAVILY BIASED AGAINST MCCARTHY. I DON'T HAVE AN OPINION ON HIM EITHER WAY, BUT THIS ARTICLE CLEARLY DOES, AND SHOULD BE COMPLETELY REWRITTEN FROM A NEUTRAL VIEWPOINT!!!

Maybe Roy Keane wrote it....actually no, he probably can't read or write - he must have got eamonn dunphy to write it for him ;-)

-> And that solves the mystery of the mildly biased Mick McCarthy article.

THere should be more dedicated to gary breen's role in micks life(love)!!!???
