Does anyone else think on 11:20 - Mar 15 with 1763 views | berkstractorboy | I thought if called up they have to be released. If players wanted to stay and play for club like Celina did when when here don't you have to request the International manager not to select you (thereby risking future inclusion) [Post edited 15 Mar 2023 18:03]

Does anyone else think on 11:37 - Mar 15 with 1679 views | Oldsmoker | What! Pick up an injury in mid-week training so they have to withdraw from the squad. Fitness test prior to the lg1 match passes them to play. It's never happened. |  |

Does anyone else think on 11:37 - Mar 15 with 1678 views | MattinLondon | The whole club vs country debate is an issue which fans and players probably differ quite considerably. On the whole, fans see that club concerns outweigh that of England etc etc. But players will, again on the whole, rather see success with their international side. |  | |  |

I’m not sure it’s in any way true players would rather have success internationally. |  |

It won't be true at all as it's their club fortunes which dictate pay rises, bonuses etc. But they will still see it as a huge honour to be selected for their international teams. [Post edited 15 Mar 2023 12:14]

Does anyone else think on 12:55 - Mar 15 with 1350 views | BigCommon | No, not at all... And the wording of the OP, suggests they are being disloyal, in some way..Which they are not,btw. Can't fault either player for their contribution to Towns season, so far. And because of this, they are getting recognition with their call ups.... |  | |  |
Does anyone else think on 13:38 - Mar 15 with 1225 views | Nutkins_Return | Absolutely not. You get one career and the opportunity to play for your country is what you should have grown up dreaming of. Congratulations to both of them and hope they get game time. Gutting for us but individually as players they should be delighted. |  |

Alex Ferguson rarely used to release Man U players for friendly internationals, usually pretending that they were injured. He relented over Paul Ince when he was picked for an England squad (he hadn't been capped yet) when Ferguson was told that Ince would be starting & this would be his first cap. He reached an informal agreement with Wales that Ryan Giggs wouldn't play in any friendly matches, but he could play in the qualifiers. |  |

Are you saying as children in Wales they weren't dreaming of representing Ipswich Town more? |  |

Does anyone else think on 17:35 - Mar 15 with 872 views | FrimleyBlue | Definitely not. Now I've had my say on Burns this season. But international call ups don't come along for many players. To get one is a dream. You take them and enjoy them even if you don't play the actual game. As a town fan and despite my thoughts on Burns through he season. I'm still proud to see a town player represent his country even if it ends in just being a squad player rather than a cap. |  |
