Come on, you can't critique KR for having no back up plan but have no idea yourself to cover for him?fucck knows...

O'Neill none too keen on Robbo.
Tbh mate I don’t think we have an option, if a player is called up by their national team I think they’re obliged to report for their respective teams. Obviously injury could rule them out or a special dispensation agreed between mangers, Maybe he O’neill Wants to see if he is the best at what he has available. I understand Robbo’s frustration but his attitude towards it and his comments have done no favours.Come on, you can't critique KR for having no back up plan but have no idea yourself to cover for him?
KR has got lots of things wrong, but he's picked Whyte and got him playing to a higher standard than expected. He is about the only player in the squad who hasn't bombed at all this season and will be missed. To have him away for a vital league game for a nothing international is frustrating for all of us, even more so if he comes back injured. KR uses his words badly, but his message is right. Whyte should be tearing Plymouth apart not warming an international bench.
Of course we don't have an option, but it is still frustrating to lose probably our best player in an otherwise shitty start. I won't defend his words, but I agree with the message.Tbh mate I don’t think we have an option, if a player is called up by their national team I think they’re obliged to report for their respective teams.

However, in the broader scheme of things, this is exactly what the club needs. Bring in a youngster for little outlay, give him a platform from which to shine and, boom! We have a player worth far more and an earnings potential for a club with few assets.Of course we don't have an option, but it is still frustrating to lose probably our best player in an otherwise shitty start.

Quite right, I would have liked to see him turn out against Plymouth but, clearly he won't so KR needs to think before he spouts more drivel. The man is an absolute PR nightmare. He needs to be gagged in public.
it's all coming together! Gobbo Robbo the Gimp!
Embarrassing from Robinson. Belittling of the player and as O’Neill says, he had already been away with the senior squad in the summer when he was still at Crusaders. What’s Whyte supposed to think hearing his manager claim it’s not important that he’s there, and seemingly taking credit for his inclusion when he’s started maybe half a dozen games here?
Just shut up, Karl.
