Maybe the tweet wasn't intresting enough?
Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

Maybe because 4 lads were called up? Thomas O'Connor was excluded from it.Apparently Southampton have deleted their tweet congratulating their three lads on the call-ups. Might mean nothing...
Hm, very intres... nah, I'm not going there again.

Very good.
But look, Obafemi was obviously having a strop just yesterday. It's not like the tiny, little bit of concern was based on absolutely nothing at all. And I did clearly state that it might be nothing. So, you know, chill.
Just had a look at Obafemis Instagram page. Zero reference to Ireland on there. Was it deleted or never there?
Deleted it as part of his little strop I think.
If that's the case hes a total idiot
He only has nine photos in his Instagram - https://instagram.com/obafemz
Still has Ireland stuff on his Twitter, e.g.
Kenny strikes me as a people person. I am sure by now he has contacted Obafemi to explain his reasoning and to challenge him to get back into the first team. I say this on the basis that it would have been a shock to Obafemi and the fact he is considered by some as a flight risk. Not worried by this, but I hope he turns out for the U 21s and shows character.

I'd be surprised if there's not a lot of withdrawals from the u21s from the lads in 1st team at their club. Poor enough timing with new season starting so late.... that being said if he does pull out and Smallbone turns up it will be pretty telling that its not the club telling them to not go
Looks like ge did change his profile pic.
He must be a tool. Let see if he turns up. Crawford is confident anyway

Well that's good. If he had changed it in petulance we would have a problematic guy on our hands
Hodge called up to the under 21 squad. Delighted to see that, thought he might have been in originally and it keeps him very much involved in the Ireland setup. Hopefully he might get a League 1 or similar standard loan move, a few of the Man City 2002 group seem to be going out on loan this year.
O'Shea out of the training camp obviously with the senior call up, might open up a spot for Conor McCarthy, Nico Jones or Warren O'Hora.
Still a ridiculous amount of competition for under 21 places even with five under 21s gone to the senior squad, can't remember anything like it, any of those three centre backs would have easily made most of our previous under 21 squads down the years.

Really rate McCarthy of those three. There's so many centre-backs at that level really, O'Hora would certainly be next in line but the likes of Ndaba, O'Driscoll, Darragh O'Connor, Nolan, McEntee, McGuinness are all a good spell away from being in contention...
Did anyone pull out to make room for Hodge at 21s and O'Shea at senior level?
Not that has been confirmed, but there must be a reason for the switches. Hodge isn't a like for like replacement for O'Shea in the Under 21s either. Maybe Kenny realised he had left himself a bit short only picking six defenders - I would have had O'Shea in the initial squad because he covers the entire back line.
Reports Kenny has said that both McCarthy and Parrott are doubts due to knocks picked up in friendlies and are in Dublin to be assessed. Doesn't really link too much with O'Shea and Hodge but maybe he's just rejigged what was a top-heavy squad. Would imagine Byrne or Cullen could replace McCarthy if he's out...
