England snub Shilton

         

      Former goalkeeper Shilton, England's record appearance holder with 125 caps, told Press Association Sport: "I don't know why Rio isn't playing, whether it's an injury or not, but if he has just pulled out for no reason then I totally disagree with that.I wouldn't have enjoyed it as a goalkeeper," he added. "Those games are a waste of time in a sense, although you have to be on your toes as you don't want to concede against San Marino. But it will have been a good confidence booster for the game on Tuesday.He added: "Playing for your country, for me, was the ultimate but that seems to have changed a little bit.Roy Hodgson's side face a far sterner test against Group H leaders Montenegro on Tuesday night, but Shilton is confident they can get the job done and take a big step towards qualifying for Brazil.I don't know the circumstances of what went on but I wanted to get every cap I could. To play in the World Cup and try to win something for England was the ultimate.It's a group we should qualify from and if we don't it's not going to look good. We have some good young players coming through and Roy Hodgson is doing a very good job. Hopefully Tuesday will be a springboard for getting to the World Cup.Shilton admitted he would not have enjoyed playing San Marino, where current number one Joe Hart was little more than a spectator as England ran out 8-0 winners
