Indeed. I asked the same question last night. There's zero logic, as far as I'm able to deduce, in placing Lumley above McCarthy in the pecking order and then not playing him in the very circumstances that the second choice keeper is in the squad for.... Odd one, although I'm sure there must be a perfectly reasonable explanation we're not aware of.
Yeah, I get that... But if that's the rationale then you'd have McCarthy as 2nd choice not 3rd choice in every match day squad, wouldn't you....? Not overly important in the general scheme of things, just curious...
Been out all evening so not followed the pre-match build up nor the game itself, so apologies if this had already been covered, but why did McCarthy get the nod over Lumley when Lumley was in the original squad and McCarthy wasn't? Seems a tad illogical?
P.s. great result! COYR!
I've done my bit... recycling my Remy Martin* bottles over the last couple of decades has paid huge dividends... now over to the rest of the world to do their bit...

Given the Post Office still have the power to prosecute (I assume?) maybe they should instigate criminal proceedings? What a delightful irony that would be....
Bogard's demeanor at the select committee exuded suspicion so I'm not surprised there's seemingly evidence that she was deliberately covering things up. She certainly came across as a nasty piece of work on the ITV drama, although she obviously refuted that characterisation of course.
Looks like she has a nice house. Would be a shame if she ended up in prison and lost that...
