Mepham & Moore

[Wales-Bales]

It looks like they have been dropped from the Bournemouth matchday squad for turning up for Wales

It looks like Bournemouth could have done with them tonight.

Oh well.

Re: Mepham & Moore

Garry O’Neill has done himself no favours, especially when he had internationals away playing on other continents but has chosen to only pick out the Wales guys

Have you seen what O’Neil has had to say about Moore and Mepham? “You have a choice as a footballer whether you stay with the group or follow your own agenda.”

Gone right down in my estimation there

They should take it up with the FA, that's totally out of order.

Re: Mepham & Moore

My Bournemouth born supporting friend tells me that Mepham is useless and should not be near their first team.

After Moore’s poor attitude near the end of his time at the City, personally I have no sympathy for him not being included in the Bournemouth squad.

Don't forget Brooks is there too, and he could also come under pressure not to turn up for Wales. If Bournemouth get away with this what's stopping other clubs from following suit?

Re: Mepham & Moore

If they turned up late or hungover for training he's got a point. If it's because he'd organised a team get together over the international break, and they chose to play for Wales instead, then its uncalled for.

What it does show that after a decent honeymoon period, Gary O'Neil is feeling the pressure just a tad.

The 'scape' component of the word 'scapegoat' is actually a shortening of the word 'escape', old fruit.

Was that aimed specifically at moore and mepham?

Was it definitely in reference to them playing for Wales?

Could mean anything really, I'd be quite surprised if it was just because they had the madness to play for their country.

Mepham & Moore have been in every matchday squad this season except for the last two, so it could be just a coincidence.

Journalists are useless these days. Last week it seems nobody bothered to ask Lamouchi about whether Etete was fit after going off injured in the previous match.

In this case, why didn’t they press Gary O’Neil more about what he was saying, if he is really talking about Moore and Mepham, then that’s a disgrace. Clubs are duty bound to release players for competitive international matches and the clear implication if the Bournemouth manager is singling the two Welsh players is that pressure was put on them not to report for duty for Wales. The hacks should make sure O’Neil is asked to clarify his remarks in the press conference before their next match.
