HDM Sport on Facebook HULL City's Stephen Quinn has admitted he couldn't face team-mate Andrew Robertson after Scotland's 1-0 win over the Republic of Ireland last Friday. Speaking to the Irish Herald, Quinn said: "I didn't see him after the game, my head was gone, to be honest, I will see him later this week when we get back after the friendlies, they have England in Glasgow tomorrow and we have the USA in Dublin." The midfielder has also issued a rallying cry to his team-mates after their defeat. The Republic of Ireland suffered a setback in their bid to reach France in two years time and Quinn has warned that the team need to grow up if they are to secure a place in the finals. "We had a lot of relatively young lads in the squad and it's a big learning curve, Friday in Glasgow was a big stage to play on, 60,000 fans," said Quinn. Quinn only came on in the 68th minute at Celtic Park but impressed on the field and could be in line to start the friendly against the USA tonight.Chester proving top pick for Wales WALES are still revelling in the 0-0 draw with Belgium in their Euro 2016 qualifier. Chris Coleman's side have got fans dreaming of a first appearance at a major championships in 58 years, and according to Wales Online, if they do make it, it will be in no small part down to the acquisition of James Chester to the Welsh ranks. The Hull City defender was one of the stand-out performers for the Dragons as they picked up a point in Brussels, and the national paper was quick to sing the praises of both the player, and those who got the 25-year-old on board.Simon Gaskell wrote: "In Brussels, Chester was colossal. He repelled everything Belgium could throw at him. He gave the ball away twice in 97 minutes and made nine clearances - the most important of which sent Adnan Januzaj's panic-inducing ball across goal far and happily away from danger. "It followed performances of the very highest order against both Bosnia - when he was arguably man of the match - and Cyprus after a nervy initiation in Andorra."Ince shows class once more, but Under-21s still lose ONCE again, Tom Ince proved his worth for the England under-21s last night. The midfielder, who is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest, laid on both goal for Harry Kane with stunning assists as England raced into a two-goal lead against France. Unfortunately for Ince, and his team-mates, Gareth Southgate's men were unable to hold on and ended up on the wrong side of a 3-2 defeat as Arsenal's Yaya Sanago sparked a thrilling comeback. Lenihan stars for Ireland Under-21s CITY youngster Brian Lenihan was part of the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad that was held 2-2 by Russia in Marbella as part of an international tournament. The 20-year-old, who is currently on loan at Blackpool, started the game before being substituted in the 73rd minute. Ex-Tiger McLean on the move again FORMER Hull City striker Aaron McLean hasn't endured the best of times since he signed at the KC Stadium in 2010. The striker, who joined Tigers for around £1m but failed to make a real impact, spent a lot of his time away from the club on loan at Ipswich and Birmingham. Now, he has failed to make much impact at Bradford following his move to the Yorkshire club in January this year, meaning McLean is on the move again, switching back to Peterborough -– the club where he originally made his name with 66 goals in 148 appearances. Bradford boss Phil Parkinson, who has been desperate to get the high-earner off Bradford's wage bill, told the Telegraph and Argus: "It's a good move and I'm pleased for Aaron. It's a good opportunity for him to go down there and get some games. "A few clubs came in for him straight away but it's taken a bit of time to get the deal agreed with Peterborough. I hope he does well there."
