OTB Football · GLENN WHELAN: Life at Livi, Ireland's midfield conundrum, and Bradley to Hibs? | The Green Scene · 22 Sep 2026 podcast

I think the most difficult thing is it's it's it's not something a player really should be having to deal with or talk about because I think it's more than more than football.

I think it's the association, it's it's your way for I think they're the ones who we should be f put in front of.

TVs and the U.S.

and obviously have to explain themselves because as a player, all you wanna do is is represent your country.

It's the biggest thing and the it's the proudest thing that you can think of and and then to ask actually ask players if if they don't want to play a game because of political reasons, I think it's unfair.

So I think, yeah, I'm I'm on the fence where uh it's um if for me, if we were still playing, I'd wanna play because it's a i another chance of of getting a cap for Ireland.

I don't care who we're playing against or where we're playing, it's no, it's it's my country and I'm only ever worried about Ireland um on a football sense.

But it's it's tough because um what's going on in the world, I think the decisions have been made obviously with with Russia and and Belarus.

Whoever's made them d decisions should make the decision now um regarding what's going on in Israel at the moment.

I I'm sure they'd be talking about but they'll be only talking about the reasons why they're gonna have to play a home game away.

And th they're the ones that's gonna miss out because the fans obviously they'll speak and they'll protest, but ideally everyone wants to be watching Ireland playing at at the Aviva and supporting the team and like again, what I said to you with with the management over the last few campaigns, um sorry, last few games, getting the fans back on side and and and giving us a real lift to to to get a chance to qualify and

And now you're having to play a game um on a neutral ground where

No, you're you're not at home.

It's you're not creating any sort of atmosphere in the Aviva.

Um so I think that's the most disappointing one.

But again

go back to this decision should have been m made um a long time ago and and should never come down to to the players.
