Ben Symes is back on The Green Scene, fresh from Peru (altitude, stadiums, and a proper football tangent), as Ireland’s next international window comes into focus. He joins David Wilson and Matthew Brennan to look ahead at the international window.
The lads break down Heimir Hallgrímsson’s latest squad, with Owen Elding dropping to the U21s for the Finland playoff push, Nathan Collins returning, and Seamus Coleman named in a fascinating “hybrid” role that has everyone asking: is this a soft launch into coaching?
Plus, Jack Moylan’s ridiculous Cardiff hat-trick (and what comes next), and Matthew reports from Dortmund on Troy Parrott, Champions League nights, and why Irish fans are following him everywhere.
