luffbra Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 I imagine most people were expecting this, but Paddy McCarthy has been made captain of LCFC. I think this is a good move by Rob Kelly. I believe that Paddy is the difference between us being an average side and a good side. We seemed to play much better when he wasn't suspended! I hope being captain will encourage him to calm it down a bit too (but not too much!!) SEE STORY HERE
dandannieldanok Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Good move, he could fill this role for a few years
Fox in a Box Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 I imagine most people were expecting this, but Paddy McCarthy has been made captain of LCFC. I think this is a good move by Rob Kelly.

I hope being captain will encourage him to calm it down a bit too (but not too much!!) SEE STORY HERE I agree there totally, if he calms down and less eratic then we could have a very decent centre half there. Given our history last year with discipline this year we do need to cut that out of our game!
Thracian Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Let's hope he benefits from the captaincy increasing his feelings of responsibility and serves to stop him getting so many cards of one sort and another. John Terry is a committed hard case who seems to have chanelled his aggression in a way that has made him an effective but reliable, within-the-rules defender. If that happens McCarthy will prove the perfect choice because he never looks less than 100% committed to the cause, just like Kisnorbo.
Loake Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 well pleased about this, I think he will make a good leader, commited and determined!!
stulcfc Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 good news macca is a born leader and i think with time he could be a legend if he stay's for long enuff
MONreborn Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Great News, now he just needs a new long term contract
Guest Gist Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Great news he is without doubt the best possible choice.
Hitesh Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Following in the footsteps of Walsh and Elliott.... Up the steps at Wembley to collect a trophy!?!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Following in the footsteps of Walsh and Elliott.... Up the steps at Wembley to collect a trophy!?! Sadly the trophy we are most likely to win in the next ten years is the LDV Vans.
City_4_Life Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Sadly the trophy we are most likely to win in the next ten years is the LDV Vans. A trophy is a trophy. Anyway great news for Paddy, he deserves it.
davieG Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Sadly the trophy we are most likely to win in the next ten years is the LDV Vans. It's not even called that now, isn't it something like the Football League Nonentities Trophy
julian_joach Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 The Next Steve Walsh :D:D COME ON ARE WE PADDY!!!!!!
Ashley Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 What did i say the other day in the post about tiatio ? Paddy should be captin Easy easy easy easy
cisono Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Paddy will probably be a good captain. But I do hope never to see him slap his own team mates during a game again . I found that seriously shocking last year. And running across half a football pitch to shout at refereeing officials is also something I'd rather he did not repeat this year
Jonbluefox9 Posted 19 July 2006 Posted 19 July 2006 Paddy will probably be a good captain. But I do hope never to see him slap his own team mates during a game again . I found that seriously shocking last year. And running across half a football pitch to shout at refereeing officials is also something I'd rather he did not repeat this year To be fair to Paddy, he taught Richard Stearman an important lesson that day. If he wanted to remain a first team right back he couldn't afford to put his centre backs under needless pressure by messing about with the ball so close to goal. I get the feeling Stearman's a fast learner anyway but he will no doubt remember that slap everytime he picks the ball up so close to goal and use his passing ability to get out of trouble rather than trying to run himself out of situations. He probably could do the latter but it's a risky business. The way Paddy McCarthy celebrated our first goal in that match is enough for me to think he'll be a good captain. He was as happy, if not more so than the majority of Leicester City supporters in the crowd that day. He knew what it meant to us all to beat Cov and he was ecstatic when we got a foot back in the game.
dandannieldanok Posted 20 July 2006 Posted 20 July 2006 Some of you might know already but I have just found out that Tiatto is still club captain. Why?
