So, yeah, lots of good little turnout so far.
He was telling me there's another...
a bunch of lads coming in later on today another bunch of lads coming in next week so there's definitely been a lot of interest in it and plenty of different League of Ireland clubs represented based off the gear I've seen some of the umpires coming in wearing so I'm intrigued to kind of sit down with Andy later on and figure out exactly what his plans are for it but there's definitely been an uptake from the get-go
I'm not exactly sure the ins and outs of it.
It's not going to be, of course, I imagine it's not going to be a free thing.
I imagine it's going to be some form of fee, but it seems as though there's a couple of guys who've been involved in either the FAI's own programme or a similar one in the past and have kind of gotten on board here and Andy's coming on board with them to sort of be the face of it and with the contacts that Andy does have over in
in England working still with Nottingham Foresters in a role kind of transitioning players from their academies into the first team there's no better man really to give it a go but I'm not actually entirely sure how it's come about but as I said I'm going to be sitting down later on and we can go into the details of all of that yeah
Yeah, I think so.
I obviously haven't been listening to yourselves up to this point, unfortunately, as much as I would have loved to have been doing.
I don't want to tread over any kind of already trodden ground, but
Yeah, it was a fairly drab affair.
It was a fairly drab atmosphere, although a pretty good turnout.
There was moments in the game, I suppose, where the crowd did get up for a smurfer, like an attempt to sort of get the crowd going rather than a real true want, I feel.
now the game itself look it is what it is it's one of those I don't actually I actually really don't like that term but it's one of those games that we hopefully don't have to think about for too long or experience ever again to be totally honest and of course great and don't want to take away from the occasion that it would be for the likes of Boston Law who was speaking there just before I came on and
and James Abanko as well making his debut and I suppose Harvey Vale playing for the first time in front of an Irish crowd really in Dublin so some good moments in there some nice little things to take away we should have won the game we're a better team than Macedonia but I wouldn't be reading into that too much considering whatever lack of desire we had to be playing that game I imagine it was kind of increased tenfold by them having to travel over
I would say as far as leadership goes, it's one of those intangible things that we don't really know what it means until you're kind of hit with it within the dressing room.
I would say as far as him...
potentially retiring, I would say, yeah, there is definitely a void that needs to be filled there.
And I think there is a bit of over-reliance there as far as other players stepping up.
But I suppose with them having to step up and not being able to do so to the right degree at the beginning of the campaign and then coming back in, maybe there's more of a kind of active...
