Hale 'needs to be playing at highest possible level' for international hopes
Ronan Hale hopes he did enough on his Northern Ireland debut to stay in the squad for the World Cup qualifying campaign but knows his club situation will be key to his striker has two years left on his Ross County contract, but has been subject to transfer speculation since the Staggies relegation to the netted 18 goals in 42 games for Don Cowie's side and was handed his first Northern Ireland cap in Tuesday's 1-0 friendly win over 26-year-old came close to extending his side's lead against the team who defeated Scotland 3-1 at Hampden on was denied by the crossbar, with goalscorer Isaac Price sending over his attempt at a second goal on the rebound, while the County player also fired a low drive just wide before being replaced after 68 minutes."The first chance, I think I hit it too well," Hale said. "Obviously if you trickle it in it might go under the keeper or whatever. Then the second one, I've just tried to take it around him and the touch isn't there."I would be annoyed at myself if I wasn't in for those chances. It's one that I can build on and hopefully take into the group stage."Hale has been in both of Michael O'Neill's squads this year but has had to remain patient waiting for his chance to impress. The major question mark remaining in O'Neill's squad ahead of the qualifiers is who starts as the central striker."I've done what I can but then again it's all down to club level as well," the 26-year-old said. "I need to be performing every week."I'm just going to take it as it comes," Hale said when asked about the summer break. "I'm a Ross County player and I'm contracted to them but things can change."It's just about seeing what the future holds for me and the best decision to keep me playing at the highest level I can."

Bill Belichick makes rogue Father's Day reference as he dodges UNC questions over Jordon Hudson chaos
University of North Carolina head football coach Bill Belichick just wants to talk about football. Belichick, the 73-year-old coach and eight-time Super Bowl champion, hosted a Q&A session at the Kenan Football Center in Chapel Hill on Tuesday to provide updates on the football program. It came just one day after an article from Brendan Marks of The Athletic - where the reporter did a deep dive into the background of Belichick's 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, only to have Belichick answer the door at the address of the agent listed on her LLC filings. The setting on Tuesday was much less sudden - with Belichick warmly greeting reporters with questions about the football team and its progress. However, he did get asked a pair of questions which addressed his personal life - which the former Patriots coach dodged. When a reporter inquired about the biggest misconception about him and his time at UNC, Belichick replied, 'Yeah, I don't know. Look, I'm really focused on doing my job here at Carolina, to help our football team, and just to get better every day, to stack those days together, training days, preparation days, days out on the field. That's after Belichick recently answered the door at an address listed on Hudson's LLC filings 'And we've done that. And our staff's, again, done a great job of working hard to do that. So that's my big focus. I mean, is there noise out there? 'We've always dealt with that. Really our job is to build the football team also build their individual career. So that's really where we're at.' When asked a follow-up if the interest in his personal life took away from the experience of coming back to coach, Belichick once again dodged - but this time, decided to plug his upcoming book 'The Art of Winning'. 'Again, on some of the noises out there, the book and stuff like that. I mean, it is what it is,' Belichick said. 'That's a personal venture that I entered into when I wasn't in coaching last year, and hopefully that'll be a big purchase on Father's Day.' With Fathers Day coming up on Sunday, it's a perfect time for Belichick to make a promotion for his book which was released last month. However, it does come amid a backdrop of confusion about Belichick and Hudson's business dealings. The report from The Athletic explains how Marks tracked down the address for a New England-based lawyer called Joshua Christian, who is the listed resident agent on several of Hudson's LLCs. But when the reporter knocked on the door, Belichick himself answered. The report describes Belichick as wearing North Caroline blue gym shorts and adds: 'His usually stoic expression is decidedly less so, though, replaced instead with something between confusion and unease.' The article continues: 'Belichick tells me he doesn't know a Joshua Christian, who organized his girlfriend's LLCs. So if this isn't Christian's property, I ask, is it Belichick's? Silence. There's the coach everyone knows.' This follows on from a disastrous CBS Sunday Morning interview back in April where Hudson interrupted the interview multiple times - and even caused a half hour delay when she stormed out and expected Belichick to follow. Shortly after the CBS backlash, Hudson competed in a beauty pageant in Maine, finishing third. She appeared to address the intensifying scrutiny placed upon her with a speech to the audience, where Belichick sat alongside her father Heath. 'I'm feeling an immense amount of pride right now,' she said. 'I hope anyone who's watching this finds the strength to push through whatever it is that they're going through, and embodies that hate never wins.'
