I don't understand why you think people pointing out facts, like he could be suspended if he doesn't go without good cause, as being dismissive of other people's opinions.

On 3/21/2022 at 9:33 AM, TheBigDog said: If he refuses to go he effectively ends his international career. Hi @BP1960 see my response to your original assumption - not dismissing your opinion at all - merely pointing out what is generally accepted. Also, as others have correctly stated, the country FA can ask that the player is barred from playing for his club for the duration should he refuse to go without good reason.

One, he wielded a bit more power Two, the rules have changed.

They can refuse calls up and plenty have over the years for various reasons. No surprise shez left him out if he isn’t committed to be here for the fight. 100%. Didn't Leutwiler turn down a call up earlier in the season when he was in the team here? It doesn't sit right with me at all that he's gone off to play these friendlies when we are missing so many players at the moment. Rat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve met the bloke a few times actually and he’s a nice guy. But he’s left us in the shitter, and for that I hope he never plays for us again.

Sloshed Joe Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Conga supposed to play on Thurs (Mar 24) and Tues (Mar 29) so if Missilou has arranged to play in both then he’s missing Orient as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 We knew this was a possibility when we signed him we can't complain that he goes off to play international football. The club only have themselves to blame for the abysmal state of the current squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Despite our opinions, Missilou is gone for the three games and if he sits on the bench for all three then Sheridan will be even more furious. What he cannot do is punish Missilou by leaving him on the bench when he returns, unless someone plays an absolute blinder in his absence, which is highly unlikely.

He’s left us without a holding mid to play a couple of friendly games when we are 9 games away from losing our football league status. The guy had no club and we gave him another chance, least he could have done was recognise we need him and repay the favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
