Been away in Penang for a few days where the WIFI at my hotel was so slow it could be described as a Carrick connection. Fortunately the hotel staff didn’t try to bullshit me with the argument some here use about Carrick saying “it’s quality but a different type of quality”.
I see we have yet another Carrick retirement topic. How many is that now. Its like the proverbial turd that won’t flush away.
Let’s get something clear. Carrick is NOT underrated. The rating is what it is, its a statistic, it can’t be wrong. If Carrick does not have a high enough rating in some people’s view it just means there’s a hell of a lot of people who disagree with them. That in itself is a sign of how good Carrick was. How many disagree about the truly great players.
Carrick lovers twist themselves into pretzels trying to come out with reasons Carrick should be praised more. I could easily debunk all of those reasons but its all been said before so I’ll sum up with the words of one of the great masters of the English language ……
