| International Break 12:53 - Sep 22 with 24999 views | RedbourneR | Anyone know who's off and playing for their country? Jimmy Dunne and Harvey Vale for RoI,I guess, and Paul Smyth for the North, so who else is going to be missing from the training ground? Nothing on the offish. |  | | |  |

Sorry mate. Thought you were talking about 2026. |  |

Interesting one. I didn’t realise we had the power to do that. Good for us of course, but tricky for the player. |  | |  |

Can we call Yamal back from international duty? |  |

| International Break on 17:23 - Oct 5 with 1488 views | dmm | I think we must have recalled Kamara because we're short in midfield for the game against Wham - Vale and Chair still injured, and Varane too knackered to start. |  | |  |

Looks like Martinique play tonight at 11 our time and that’s it so he should be available having not played loads. Whether he should be in the team is another question. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

I dunno, N Ireland look on the up so worth being part of it, you never know. As I speak Price misses a pen to go 1-0 up against Georgia |  | |  |

| International Break on 22:04 - Oct 5 with 940 views | BklynRanger | I've really enjoyed this run of Norn Iron games - much more than expected But yeah - Smyth not getting on took the shine off that a bit tonight, along with the penalty miss obviously. You could make an argument in a couple of the other games for him not coming on, but not tonight. He was still out there at the end congratulating his team mates, showed some class. |  | |  |

Smyth was sent to warm up but once again wasn’t brought on: if I was him I’d be thoroughly p1ssed off not to play a single minute over 4 games especially as some of the players looked liked they’d been flogged to death by the amount of minutes they’d played. Poor player management by O’Neill IMO. |  | |  |

I’m guessing because he can still be involved in training and learning patterns of play even if he can’t play. Plus we’d rather be responsible for building up his stamina in house than rely on Latvia to do it. Finally he’s been playing quite a few minutes within a short period of time and that risks further injuries for someone who’s just coming back from long term injuries. |  | |  |
| International Break on 08:52 - Oct 6 with 429 views | dmm | I can't find confirmation as to whether Cirkin's suspension is for one or three matches. Is there a reliable website that carries this info? As for Varane, I assume he'll be on a 9/10 hour flight back to London later today so he'd be joining the squad tomorrow or Thursday. I can't see him starting v Wham so probably a midfield of Kamara, Madsen and Edwards. |  | |  |

Assuming he’s not carrying some minor injury that we don’t know about, I would definitely start him on Friday. |  | |  |

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t down Bowen’s side. |  | |  |
