Match Day Thread The designated NCFC present players on International duty thread

Pukki only on the bench for Finland at the moment, 0-0 at half time with Wales.

Not sure if we want Pukki to get game time to get him up to speed, or if he needs a rest!?

 

As it's only a friendly, they may not want to risk him.

 

Billy starts too...

 

Yeah weird they missed him out

 

Normann srarts

Bijlow srarts in front of Krul on the bench


23 year old Feyenord stopper

 

Denmark 2:0 Scotland after just 20 minutes .........

 

Idah up front for Ireland who are 0-0 at Portugal and Omobamidele has just come on to replace the injured O'Shea after 36 minutes.

 

Ireland score to lead 1-0! Egan the scorer.

HT now and still 0-1 to Ireland.

 

Normann certainly pings the ball about. Like receiving and having to control a rocket when he fires one at you.

 

Portugal 2-1 ROI

Frickin' Ronaldo.

 

Yes - They were so close! Two goals in injury time.

Still it's a first cap for Omobamidele at 19.

 

Interesting to see that Gilmour is cited as at fault for one of Denmark's goals, which matches what we have seen this season so far.

 

Not watched the Scotland game, but on Facebook with Scottish friend most posters made Hanley best player.

 

High praise for Adam:

"At the other end, it was also a night where Adam Idah came of age. His hold-up and his link-up play helped his side get up the pitch and ease the pressure on his rearguard."

Pukki starts http://www.hesgoal.com/news/86191/Finland_vs_Kazakhstan.html

 

And played the full 90 minutes before being subbed in extra time

 

Idah starts for Ireland Omobamidele misses out

 

Normann starts

 

Idah badly needs a goal for Ireland he starts every game but still hasn't opened his account.

He's playing well but needs to score

 

Gilmour and Hanley start for Scotland, McLean benched in favour of the returning McGinn.
