Ben Symes

he just whistled past the post that would have been yeah when he got into the team like he just developed so quickly under Stephen Kenny and yeah it looked like an integral part but just the injuries have been a nightmare and that's what happens and Oisín would have kind of briefly touched on it there as well like you know injuries and getting injured at the wrong time yeah for sure just stunts your development but it's all about timing it's really interesting for him he's playing like you can have your hang-ups about Blue Coat about the owners of Strasbourg but the thing is for him

Yeah, because it's quite a left-wing socialist club.

And it's in the part of Madrid that's like where a lot of...

like under the Franco era it would have been a lot of emigrants from like Colombia and Venezuela would end up in this part of Madrid and it's like a really cool club I'd love to go and see Rayo Vallecano play but it's an unbelievable opportunity for them but 20 euro like their tickets are pretty cheap I think from it's the principle of it though isn't it yeah you should stick to your values the tickets are the same price oh we're in the semi-final now yeah but they're very much like anti anti-apartheid anti yeah

Yeah, kind of promoting the good things about Spurs.

I think the opposite.

I think Brian Barry Murphy is more likely to be a coach of the Republic of Ireland.

A couple of reasons, but Brian Barry Murphy has developed this pretty...

Yeah, pretty kind of substantial coaching career.

He's worked his way up from being a player, I suppose, in the lower leagues in England.

Obviously had cotton on to the idea that he wants to be a coach quite early in his career as well, had done his coaching badges.

had done, you know, has worked in a couple of different roles as well.

Obviously he worked at Rochdale and did a pretty good job at Rochdale.

All things considered.

Yeah, all things considered.

And he actually used the Irish market quite interestingly as well to sign players.

And then he went to Man City and he was like kind of working with Enzo Maresca and working with Pep Guardiola and working with their loan players and their kind of their loan system and then working with the multi-club system.

And then he was at Leicester with Riva Nistelrooy and working as a coach there and learning from someone like, you know, the Dutch school as well.

It was clever enough not to take that job.

Clever enough not to take the Leicester job as well.
