Know what you mean, but Dion is our leading scorer and has missed 8 games.

Hardly making it up.

No, but we needed him calling up to get the postponement, probably

Whether hes fit to play is irrelevant

I don't care either way, whether he's called up, whether he plays or if he withdraws - but surely him being in the squad and not playing is denying someone else the chance to be in the squad.  Its not like they are playing a competitive game and they want to give one of their "first team" every chance of making it, its 2 friendlies away from home.

Shrewsbury?

How is Dion getting called up for a match that takes place next week going to postpone the Shrewsbury game in a month? Am I missing something?

It was meant to be 23rd. It’s been postponed to next month as a pre-emptive measure based on expected international call ups.

I can’t tell if you genuinely didn’t know or are taking issue with the wording of Casino’s statement

Shrewsbury game was originally supposed to be next week (23rd). It got called off because we’d had the required three international call ups (Toal, Charles, Sheehan) but had they not announced Charles - not unheard of given he’s likely to pull out anyway - then we would have had to play the game and obviously without Toal and Sheehan.

There's obviously some weird International call-up rules I'm not aware of.

The match wouldn't have been postponed if we only projected 2 players were due to be missing.

I know.

I don't understand the idea that he's only been called up to enable the rescheduling of the Shrewsbury match though. Say Toal and Dion had both broke their legs 11 days ago, would the Shrewsbury game be brought back to the original date because neither are able to play for Northern Ireland? I think I'm reading too much into Casino's post.

Because he was unfit 11 days ago and was never going to be fit for next Saturday.
