The Irish squad meeting up for the international break produced a pretty amusing moment when James McClean teased Nathan Collins over his disastrous tackle on Jack Grealish.
The Kildare native rightly received a red card for the high challenge - with McClean quick to poke fun at Collins just days afterwards.
In the clip, we see the Irish players greet each other en masse with McClean joking 'Just get off the pitch will ya' when he hugs the promising centre-back.

The Wigan man then goes on to imitate Collins' emotional remonstrations in the aftermath of referee Anthony Taylor's decision.
He wanders round in a faux state of disbelief with his hands in the air as Collins had initially claimed he'd gotten the ball in the tackle which left Grealish with stud marks on his mid-section.
Since he waited 25 minutes after the conclusion of Man City's 3-0 cruise over Wolves to apologise to the £100m man, Collins' initial belief that he was innocent was clearly short-lived and can be chalked up to the heat of the moment.
Similarly, here he laughs while acknowledging 'I didn't mean to do it!'
It was a clear insight into why the Irish players seem to particularly revel in meeting up with each other as there is always a strong team spirit on show.
The 21-year-old was already a near-cert to start both of our remaining Nations League fixtures against Scotland and Armenia but his place looks even more copper-fastened by Andrew Omobamidele withdrawing with a groin injury.
The Norwich defender suffered the injury in the Canaries' 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion over the weekend.
Liam Scales has been called up in his stead.
It's a welcome boost for Scales, who is on loan at Aberdeen from Celtic, after he was sent off for the Dons in their 3-1 defeat to Hibernian at Easter Road on Saturday.
The former Shamrock Rovers defender picked up two yellow cards inside a minute, with the second of them resulting in a Hibernian penalty which saw them draw the game level before they added two more goals in the second half.
Scales has six caps at U21 level but is yet to feature for the senior team.
