Re your bold, Sweden (certainly) and Finland (possibly) use friendlies during their midwinter break to try out domestic players, rather than their regular first teamers:Wrong information. Daniel O'Shaughnessy made his debut for the Finnish Men's team yesterday.
He came on in the 86th minute. So he played about 7 or 8 minutes and according to the
Information I found managed to set up one chance in the time he was on. Even though it appears
Not to have been Sweden's best 11 or for that matter Finland's best 11. O'Shaughnessy has still
Gained his first full cap and should be very proud and other should not disparage that fact.
Well done Daniel. There seems to be another match on Wednesday against Iceland. Let's
Seeif he can double his appearances.

He gained cap no.2 and played the full game this afternoon in a 1-0 defeat to Iceland in Abu Dhabi
Get the feeling he's destined to never appear for the club, sadly. Seems to be a bit like Leon Redwood, used in pre-season, looked good, but never got a look in in the first team...though DOS made the bench a couple of times, unlike LR.
Where is highly rated Redwood now?
Have Burnley put in a bid for DOS yet?
Any chance of this young man making his way on to the Championship subs bench any time soon?
Tarky can take his place in the Development team.
Played 90 minutes in a friendly for FCM yesterday.
