That's correct. See article 8.1(b) here: http://resources.fifa.com/mm/documen...al.pdf#page=67
Well he was the only player in the starting eleven, so I assume he meant that. Clarke pulled out due to injury but I assume Hale was with the squad but not named.
Squad announced for the Norway game next week.
No Jack Byrne, which seems a bit odd. Did he have a fallen out with The King?

Defenders: Danny Kane (Huddersfield Town), Ryan Sweeney (Stoke City, on loan at Bristol Rovers), Shaun Donnellan (West Bromwich Albion, on loan at Walsall), Corey Whelan (Liverpool), Ryan Delaney (Burton Albion)

Is hewelt at everton with us or with Poland? No Conor materson seems harsh

Goal Norway,

Equaliser
Mulraney
Lost 2-1 and Germany hammered Israel
Disappointing to lose to an injury-time goal - wonder why our top-scorer Grego-Cox wasn't in the squad (he did play and score for QPR four days earlier) - still in it, at least, but this defeat, combined with Norway beating Germany, means that we'll have to get at least one result against Germany and have a near-perfect record against the rest of the group to make a play-off

No Jack Byrne, but Connor Dimaio gets selected even though he doesn't have a club. Baffling.
Is Ronan Hale not an out and out striker?
Like this maybe?

Actually it's Rory Hale who scored.
2-0 to the Irish now. Slow to get scorer updates.
Manning with the 2nd, Curtis gets his 2nd assist.
