    I'm not sure you got the point I was making, or I could have missed your point? I very much doubt a team relegated from the Champioship would have 10+ players called up for international duty and therefore be unable to field a team. And if they can't then play the youngsters or whatever. I wouldn't need to be an overnight thing. It could come in in 2-3 years time to give teams the opportunity to build their squads accordingly

    A great time to play a midweek match. Weather reasonable and schools back so fewer on holiday.
    Are you absolutely sure, each and every Season Ticket holder was actually present? We often see reported attendance figures at City well above the real number present.

    the days off midweek as you say are in leiu of working the weekend. They are not holidays. They still do a 5 day week each week during the season, so they do not count as holiday. I’m guessing your weekends off don’t come out of your holidays if you have worked Monday-Friday

    as for your first point 20 plus 8 is 28 which is 5.6 weeks, so that would
    Be something like 5.8( one day difference)

    Ibou Touray called up for Gambia.

    Getting ridiculous now. Last thing we need is international footballers.

    My understanding at the time was that Zimbabwe had already named their squad which didn’t include Galloway the Plymouth player as he was injured.
    Galloway then came on as a late sub for Plymouth and this provoked Zimbabwe modifying their squad to include him at a very late stage.
    Not sure how much comms there was between club and country but something was a bit suss.

    What I will say is that there wasn’t rows and rows of empty seats like we see at our midweek fixtures.

    Unless it was his call I don't understand how he's not been picked for the last 2 years.

    Pleased for him as he deserves it but glad the next AFCON is next summer rather than midseason like it has been recently or we might have been losing him for a lot more.

    It's a pity Kieran Morgan wasn't a few months younger or we could have asked Darren Moore to do us a favour and call him up for the u20s to get the Reading game postponed

    Pleased for him too.

    He's been an excellent signing and good that's he's getting recognition for his consistency with us.

    ah, so it was probably that he was left out as he wasn’t fit but showed he was fit by playing so they added him when someone else dropped out injured. I think squads are size limited so countries can not just add people without someone else being cut

    just remember we don’t want to sign and rely on good international players

    There’s more posts on a game that isn’t going ahead than some actual league games that we’ve played.

    Yes but we’re talking about season ticket holders who’ve already paid that simply can’t be arsed

    Yes. No more players from Gambia, Curucao, Narnia or Westeros. Infact no more Scots, Welsh or Irish just to be safe. And definately no more U21 players either.

    We only want English players aged 22-38.
