Here is the squad:
Northern Ireland squad v Faroe Islands, 10 August 7.45pm: Tuffey (Inverness), Camp (Nottingham Forest), Mannus (St Johnstone); J Evans (Manchester United), McGivern (Manchester City), Cathcart (Blackpool), McAuley (West Brom), Hughes (Fulham), Hodson (Watford); Baird (Fulham), McCann (Peterborough), McGinn (Celtic, on loan at Brentford), Gorman (Wolves), C Evans (Hull), Davis (Rangers), Clingan (Coventry), McCourt (Celtic); Feeney (Oldham), McQuoid (Millwall), McClean (Derry), Healy (Rangers), Ward (Derby), Paterson (Burnley).
I'm disappointed to see that it took a move to St. Johnstone for Mannus to get a recall. Whats wrong with playing for Rovers Nigel?
I'd say Kerr will have the Faroes pumped for this one.
G'luck!

Truly awful indeed. Wonder if how McClean will do.

Take it Brunt is either suspended or injured. The only other one missing is Lafferty. That squad is starting to look very weak. Interesting that he didnt call up Shane Ferguson or even Bruce.Always thought that big lad Michael Duff (Burnley) was a solid enough defender ,but hell what do I know.

I dont think the squad looks too bad at all. I mean our resources are limited. Id set it up 442 as follows.
Mannus/Camp
McCaulay/Hodson --- Evans J --- Hughes --- Cathcart
Baird --- Davis --- McCourt --- Clingan
McQuoid --- Ward/Patterson/Healy
Not bad at all. I mean we arent Brazil after all, are we?
We have probs at left back, Midfield(we need a physical, aggressive ball winner to complement Davis and McCourt) and striker(need a goal scorer, especially as Lafferty is out).

yeah yeah yeah, thats all well and good......but what about Mannus getting a recall? The guy has been amazing for Rovers for ages! Then he sits on the bench for one game with St Johnstone, and he gets called up!......I can only assume Worthington is an idiot.

"can only assume Worthington is an idiot" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Congrats Dublondain, you've got it in one regarding Nige the Unworthy!
I think we should try to coax Roy Keane to turn out for us. He could be the answer to our midfield problems even at his late age. Hes said to have some good mates from NI and has even praised our fans for their enthusiasm and partizan attitude. Apparently, Norman Whiteside is/was a big drinking buddy of his.
