The only thing that is ridiculous ts is your stance on the matter. Our players representing themselves and the club in internationals is only ever going to be a positive whether it's New Zealand, Barbados or some Martian nation. We have come out of a spell of having numpties and playboys like Chopra and Bullard and now we have players that are hungry and professional and want to play international football.
Interplanetary and Intergalactic football. Now that would be a great idea for a film if anyone has a couple of billion lying around?
Looks like the Chinese branch. Getting back to Tommy, a competitive international match might enhance his play, and give him experience for big matches, but the majority of the matches he has jetted off to have been friendlies, which are not worth a light. Looks like New Zealand are not going to qualify now, so now New Zealand are going to be playing a lot of future friendlies. Why can they not compromise, and release Tommy back to us, as they are never going to pull back four goals. I only want what's best for our club, we are not going to get anywhere with these arrangements
Are you on the wind up? Send him back because they're four goals down? They'll be on their home turf playing with no fear this time and if they score early stranger things have happened in football. Just look at Town's last result
