I know it was only a friendly against Luxembourg but it was nice to see Ciaron Brown follow his first team debut for us on the Caraboa Cup with his first senior cap for Northern Ireland tonight. Reports suggest that Gavin Whyte had a good game too.

Neil Warnock has revealed his delight after Cardiff City youngster Ciaron Brown earned his first cap for Northern Ireland tonight.
The defender, 21, was called up from the under-21s to start at centre back for the friendly against Luxembourg at Windsor Park.
Brown, who can play both centrally and on the left, has impressed the Bluebirds coaching staff over the last six months and as such has been included in the first-team fray this season.
The young Bluebird was named in Ian Baraclough's under-21s this week for the European Championship qualifiers against Malta and Finland.
However, Northern Ireland coach Michael O'Neill asked Brown, as well as Leeds United's Alfie McCalmont and Hearts teenager Bobby Burns, to step up and train with the senior side ahead of the clash with Luxembourg.
It is understood Brown grabbed the coaching staff's attention during the training sessions and was subsequently handed a spot in the starting lineup.
