Ben Symes

Yeah, it remains to be seen.

Obviously, Mace Emilia as well will be looking for a look in as Spurs do go down.

Before we look ahead to this weekend, I should remind you that the green scene on Off the Ball is brought to you by Cadbury, a proud sponsor of the Republic of Ireland.

National teams, Matthew Brennan, you will be in Murcia at the weekend.

You've been looking at the Granada camp a little bit.

I should preface, you're going as a fan.

You're one of the few lunatics who decide, you know what, no World Cup, I'm going to go to Murcia anyway.

Siobhan John-Brown.

John Brown you know this is why I gave you a look when he said Spokane Spokane is the second I think it's the second highest populated Irish American city in America or it's like whatever the Brown it's really like there's a lot of Irish in Spokane basically that's why I was looking on Washington some of the names are great there are a lot like double first names yeah it's like you've got you've got like Frank is the second name you've got Philip is the second name Francis is the second name

Grenada obviously the country that Ronald Reagan famously invaded in the 1980s as well that's what I knew Grenada because I was thinking originally I'm going to be over there froth the ball reporting Matthew's going to be over in the stands and I was originally thinking eh

Grenada and then I remember back to when the US invaded in the 80s Grenada is what they always used to say you know it's notorious for pronouncing things correctly yeah that's what I was thinking maybe I'm actually correct that it is Grenada but remember the World Cup draw what do you call the ice hockey player yeah

Anyways, a little bit off topic.

Yes, very quickly.

yeah I was at it's our job to find out he's going to be as good as he is yeah exactly that's what I was going to say I was at a briefing with the FAI director of football John Martin last week and that's one thing he was kind of hammering home to us that our talent ID has to be so much better than it has been name check Chris Atherton being one that we've gone early and got him early and we really have to be a lot more proactive on that and Conor Bradley was one of the players who was name checked of you know maybe we kind of messed up a little bit here and we should have got him in over the line yeah he's got a really horrible injury Conor Bradley doesn't he

that's a horrible injury he's had a couple of injury issues over the last this one seems as though this is a serious one hopefully he gets back to where he wants to be because tell you what Liverpool are in dire need of a right back as always you can get in touch with us via social media off the ball or off the ball football via email thegreenscene at offtheball.com we are going to be back next Tuesday live again from 2pm thank you for those who have been watching live

on YouTube from 2pm this afternoon get back to work stop skiving as I think it is is that what they say in Monaghan it's a new word I've learned today yeah mitchin was always the old Dublin term mitchin is more to do with school yeah but you explained it to us as a school scenario yeah these are like kids to me yeah that's unk in the corner you never heard of hashtag united I wouldn't blame you for that we will be back next week after Ireland have beaten Grenada in Mercia we'll chat to you then folks take care

I definitely have a question about you.

Am I OK saying you're committed to Ireland?

And he said, yes, no problem.

So he is in our frame.
