Malta are pissed off with JJ as he prioritised his young family over friendly games

Hope it's absolutely nothing but Jodi Jones didn't even make a full bench for Malta tonight.

You're not wrong about that. Here's the interview if anyone else wants to read it.

Will he ever play for them again? Hopefully Malta's loss is our gain if not.
Can't see him playing under this manager again after that diatribe
Maybe it might reinforce the opinion that in football its precious to be working with people and a club with integrity that value you on and off the pitch ! Hopefully means he would prefer to stay with us even if there were big possible money moves going on in the background?
What an idiot.
The only reason for selecting a player for an international squad should be that their expected performance beats the alternatives. That's it. Any other reason is a mistake.
Having a tantrum because a player doesn't want to play in friendlies outside the window because he was run ragged by a huge season (how many minutes did Jones play for us?) is insane. He wants a potentially jaded player to wear themself out more on a game that literally does not matter and that nobody will even remember a year from now.
Wow, what a self-centred and I suggest damaging attitude:
That's like one of those institutions who've just had all their data hacked saying:I need to ensure that all players are fully committed and be respectful like the other players who joined the team when they were called up. I understand each player’s needs and we take care of each player’s welfare.
"We take customer security seriously".
Let's milk the cow dry. Talk about cutting off one's nose to spite one's face.
I think they lost 7 1 last night
Wow well more fool Malta Manager as it's out gain, idiot lives in the dark ages. We still love you Jodi 😀
