there's an opportunity there as well for women to get in as well and young girls to get in.
that all want to see right through 10 15 years so we can see players go full cycle in the men's and the female side and you mentioned there about wanting to work alongside the clubs in league of ireland specifically and we we know that there's going to be a lot more full-time coaches and within the academies coming forward and that's sort of one of the reasons that they cited for
removing this this program but obviously leaves a gap as i said in the the development at that age um how how kind of impactful do you reckon and how important could it be for you guys to work alongside the clubs when the full-time staff do come in yeah i mean it's something that and i consciously made the effort to ring around all the clubs particularly in the dublin area well it's not about stepping on people's toes but i genuinely want to work with the clubs and you know they know that and some of the meetings that i've had with the academy managers and
Yeah, and on the League of Ireland clubs, there was an absolute array of different gear.
You'd lads draw the gear, I saw Dundalk gear, St Pat's gear, loads of different stuff.
So that kind of backs up your point about how willing the clubs are to kind of enable this.
Jussie, you obviously mentioned you do a lot of work over Forest at the minute between the transitioning players, I think, between the academy and the first team.
It's obviously very difficult today.
You've only had an hour or so with the lads and the girls.
But between...
Not the difference between both but is there, based off your eye test so far, is there a noticeable difference between maybe a 15 or 16 year old person who's come through the academies over in England and a 15 or 16 year old person who maybe you've come across today?
Yeah and very quickly, you've been very kind with your time and I hear you're getting rushed out here at the minute.
I can't finish this without mentioning what's happened over the last couple of days.
Heartbreak in Prague, you were on with us just beforehand, maybe just after actually as well I think, and then obviously last night was a bit of a damn squib in the way it turned out, but if you've had any kind of way of summing it up, how do you feel over the course of the last week where Irish football is the men's national team?
I'm in an echoey hall that hopefully isn't too echoey in TUD Blanchardstown at the moment Andy Reid former Republic of Ireland international friend of the show has been an off the ball breakfast many times hopefully we'll have him on the green scene over the next little while he's taking up the mantle I suppose that is being left by
The kind of discontinuation of the FAI's transition year programme, which, of course, has seen some very familiar faces take part in it in recent times.
On the men's side of things, off the top of my head, Andrew Omovabadele took part in it, Cillian Phillips, as well as one other who slipped in my mind.
Andrew Moran.
Andy Moran.
Andy Moran, that's it.
