I'll be pretty annoyed if they get it called off. As others have said, if there's any chance they can be annoying, then they will do it. In general, I think the rule about 3 call ups meaning the game can be postponed is a little over the top. I'm sure it's only a fairly recent thing to see loads of League 1 and 2 games called off over the international break. In the past teams would have just got on with it.

Not sure we can be annoyed if they meet the rules to call it off though.

I wouldn't necessarily be annoyed at them for requesting. I'm just more frustrated with the rule

They’ve only had 1 player called up and from what I can see, the only other possibility would be Bugiel for Lebanon, but he’s not been called up for a couple of years. Even then, thats still 1 short of being able to request a postponement

It's up to you, not to heed the call up


You must not act the way you were brought up

So they can request a postponement if they have two players called up?

They need 3 players to be called up. Doesn’t look like it will happen.

Postponed. But surprising, by us..

Smith called up and 2 others yet to be announced.

Stupid decision in my opinion, as AFC would have been missing their best player. I can't think who the other two would be? But I'm fairly certain it wouldn't be key players and more likely some of the Irish lads? Devoy and Burns?

Bizarre decision by the club.
