Stoke City boss Tony Pulis cannot believe the behaviour of the Irish FA.
Pulis has taken a furious swipe at the Irish FA after they dragged Stoke duo Jon Walters and Marc Wilson to Dublin for a fitness check.
Their tests proved what Stoke had already told them - that both were injured and unavailable to play in tonight's friendly against Croatia.
"Jon has a bit of an ankle problem and a nick on the knee from the game the other night," Pulis told The Sentinel, "while Marc has a knee injury.
"Our medical people say flying over to Ireland and back, plus staying in a hotel for the night, won't have done them any good.
"It makes it a longer and more difficult process for us to get the players fit for Sunday."
