International duty meant there was no Premiership football in England or Scotland over the weekend and Irish B cap Sean Devine must have wished he was at Lansdowne Road on Saturday, rather than Underhill Stadium for Barnet's home tie against Peterborough United.

Back in February Lewisham-born Devine lined up alongside Robbie Keane and Damien Duff in the Irish attack for the B match against Northern Ireland at Tolka Park.

On Saturday, while Keane and Duff were taking on the Croatians, Devine was in the Barnet side that suffered a 9-1 defeat by Peterborough, managed by former Barnet boss Barry Fry. Funny old game.
