I think the change in ethos has been made relatively recently. The tournament we enter is specifically an under-23 tournament. We play against some countries national u-21 squad in the tournament as well as similar u-23 semi-pro teams. I believe the FA see this as a shift towards development, helping younger players who may have a future at a higher level gain experience.

Wasn't Nico in his late 20's when he was picked?

I'm not doubting that it is under 23's - maybe it changed recently?

I heard today that 33% of mathematics teachers in our schools are unqualified and practically innumerate, another 40% have only GCSE level maths, and the remaining 36% are also bloody useless.. :-/

I imagine it's like the U-21s - they have to be of age at the start of the qualifying tournament.

Well that would explain it!

Though clearly Young, Cameron, MacDonald and Richards should all be in the full squad.

Yeah the England C thing is an interesting one - clearly the remit isn't to pick the best team from the non-leagues, else surely Rice (amongst others) would be in the squad instead of that keeper from Concord Rangers.

All three of our lads fully deserve their places and I'm sure they won't be the last of ours to make the cut this year. Congratulations.
