I just thought there's interesting decision to leave them out altogether.

Well, look, there is the fact that as far as we know, he's not agreed a contract yet for next season.

And he wasn't, I'm not going to say all of those players because I didn't count them, but quite a few of those players who, it's a bizarre situation, but those players who had been given license to go on to be here in Bilbao,

A number of them were then on the pitch in the stadium post-match when Leo Cullen gave a big squad-wide huddle.

James Lowe wasn't there.

Again, paper doesn't refuse ink.

You can put two and two and two together and get five and read too much into things.

They've got the 23, and then what do they have?

Another three or four or five players who do the warm-up who are, right, if someone goes down in the warm-up, you're in.

He was outside of that group.

So anyone who was outside of that group obviously had a license to go and enjoy themselves because they were outside the ground having pints and interacting with fans.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that.

If he's not picked, he's not picked.

Go off and enjoy your weekend.

But Brian Baird was in that group because he was injured.

Some of the academy players were in there.

Yeah, I have no idea what their plan there was because Joshua Kenny, who I think is injured, to be fair, he was also outside the stadium.

I saw him.

Well, yeah, that's another thing entirely.

I mean, Jesus, they should win that game against the Lions, but we'll see.
