Lafferty pulls out of NI squad

See that Lafferty has pulled out of the squad for NI next 2 matches. The more players we have pulling out the better. 

Hopefully Katic and Barisic are not seriously injured and McGregor picks up a mystery illness or strain and doesn't play for Scotland.

Let's face it, international football is finished and most players would rather protect themselves from prancing about for their country and potentially getting a career ending injury, the real money is in club football, gone are the days when playing for your country was held in awe by players and even fans, I can't remember the last time I got excited at an International game , I did watch England in the World Cup but even then, the game at that level has simply lost something it probably won't ever reclaim, we can thank the likes of Sky tv for sounding the death knell for International football.

Apparently Northern Ireland are invoking a FIFA rule to stop Lafferty playing against Hamilton on Sunday.

Just read that. Seems pretty ridiculous if you ask me. For all we know he could have a legitimate reason not to play for Northern Ireland. 

Awaiting Scotland doing the same for the thumb...
