OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

Teo Ademola is another one who we've heard about for a long time since going over to Crystal Palace and we've probably been waiting and waiting to see him play

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

I know obviously he played at Bradford, but seeing him play a full season at Championship, it can only be good for him.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

And I know obviously the situation at Sheffield Wednesday is not what he would have wanted, but to play Championship football for a full year, at the end of the day, he did play at a higher level than Joe Bagan.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

Joe Bagan will be going up to play it next season.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

I think both left backs are, this is a brilliant chance for them, both of them.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

They're probably going to be competing up against each other, but it's a brilliant chance again to stay clean and say, I want to be that.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

Probably for the next couple of years behind Ryan Manning in that left back role, but after that, I want to be Arden's left back for the next 10 years.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

Yeah, look, last time I spoke to Hamer at the end of the last camp about leaving the lap and basically the situation hasn't changed.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

The offer is out to the lap.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

It's up to him whether he wants to take it or not.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

They're not really going to go pushing any further.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

They've told him where to stand.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

If you want to come over, the arms are open, but they're not going to go running after him, which I quite like that.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

Yeah.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

no no I think they're also two smashing footballers both can play centre half or left back but yeah exactly they would have been in the squad if they could have been it just we might see them at the end of the month we genuinely might it's going to be a very different squad against Canada and Qatar that's inside FIFA regulation windows it's just the fact that this is Edward that you could only call players throughout a season so that's why they're not there

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

Yeah, I should just obviously have to preface it by saying that because he is not born here and he's no relations to the land, he's a naturalised citizen.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

So the, unfortunately, the only way to get him a passport is he actually has to go and sit through a citizenship ceremony, which I look.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

This is outside of our remit as sports journalists and reporters rather than political ones, but you do kind of wonder, could something not have been done?

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

It seems not.

OTB Football
THE GREEN SCENE: Umeh and Moylan included but no room for Ozhianvuna or Elding | Immediate Ireland squad reaction

You'd think surely there'd be rules for wider implications of this guy is going to serve on the front lines, this guy is going to serve on the front lines for the Republic of Ireland men's football team, why can't we just give him a passport?
