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... 

Players do it all the time but the national teams almost never invoke the ruling.

Surely no such rule exists ?

A niggling injury can clear up in that time. Plus we pay his fucking wages.

Apparently it's a 5 day clearance thing that's unheard of in modern football

5 days leaves him available for a game on Sunday when the NI game was yesterday though?

It's 5 days from the end of the international break, not the game. Which is just insane.

What have NI said in their email to even invoke this :lol:

We are concerned for Kyle's well being, we don't want him to play for his club at the weekend 

They're clearly raging they lost both games :lol:

No chance they do this had they won them. Bitter.

Seems like a strange move from NI. We have had in the past and will have in the future, lots of players representing them. Not sure why they'd potentially sour that relationship. 

 

It's everything to do with the results they had.

Embarrassing they've went and looked for a rule to punish him/us for it

How fucking shite is International football.

I'm from NI and proud of it but if the national team were playing out my garden I'd close the curtains. Had to endure the shite on Friday night while I was in work because it was on the TV and people were watching it. How many fucking English actually play for NI now? Kyle fucking Vassell? Aye he's from here alright. Looks like something that would sell drugs in the back  alleys of London.

And as for that red faced alcoholic manager they have. Fuck him.

Hopefully Gerrard tells them to do one and he scores the winner on Sunday.
