Hello and welcome along to Wednesday's Football Daily. I'm Phil Egan. Coming up today, Nathan Collins says he'll support any players who decide to take a stand against the upcoming Israel games.
What stance does Nathan Collins take regarding the Israel fixtures?
Jade Noumeh on what makes him special as the Corkman targets a senior debut. And Crystal Palace look for their first ever European trophy tonight in Oliver Glasner's final game. But first today, Ireland captain Nathan Collins says no player will be discouraged from taking a stand over the Boys and Greens Nations League games against Israel if they wish to do so. On Tuesday, a protest took place outside the Dáil against the FAI's decision to play the Ireland-Israeli games in September and October. Earlier this year, FAI Chief Executive David Carell outlined the association's reasons for their decision to fulfil the Games. The home match will take place at the Aviva on the 4th of October, with the away match set to be at a neutral venue a few days before.
Collins was asked about it ahead of Thursday's friendly with Qatar.
What we speak about is hard to say because you need the whole group together, you know what I mean? But if individuals wanted to take a stand, we're not going to stand against it, we're not going to hold them back, you know what I mean? They're entitled to their own opinions and if they're very strong about that, then it's nothing we can stop them from doing.
Jadon Oumey could be in line to get his first senior appearance against Qatar or Canada next week. The 18-year-old, who's yet to make a senior appearance for his club Benfica, was one of the stars of the Under-17s World Cup last summer. Oumey missed the game with Grenada because of his club commitments and says life in Portugal is great.
No, but life in Portugal, it's been good. It's been a very good experience, you know. It's a very friendly competition over there. There is a lot of players, but each player tries to push on the next player that's in front of him. But yeah, when I was not told to come into the Spain camp, it wasn't a disappointment because me and the club had conversations and They knew what they wanted from me because it was outside the FIFA window and they wanted me to stay to play the final game to secure a youth league. So that was their decision and I just had to respect it.
You may then add that it would be a dream to play his first senior game for his country.
No, it's going to be amazing. That's what I'm looking for anyway. Every young boy is looking forward to that anyway, so it'll be good.
And you'll be able to hear live commentary of that Ireland and Qatar game on Off the Ball and News Talk and the Go Loud app from 7 o'clock tomorrow. Kick-off is 7.45. Stephen Doyle will be joined in the commentary box by Stewie Byrne. John O'Shea and Paddy McCarthy look set to extend their contracts with Ireland until Euro 2028. And on the green scene yesterday, Matthew Brennan and David Wilson said it was positive news for the team.
David Snade is reporting in 42 that over the course of this international window, we're going to have contract extensions for both John O'Shea and Paddy McCarthy.
I think it's very positive news.
What are Jaden Umeh's aspirations for his senior debut with Ireland?
And I think as well, Paddy McCarthy is such a highly rated coach by Oliver Glasner. Paddy McCarthy has been kind of pivotal and central to everything good about Crystal Palace over the last... couple of years and he stepped in a couple of times as well to the main coaching position as well and he seems to be really well liked by the players he's done great work with Glasner and John O'Shea as well he's Yeah, he's been kind of central as well. He really is, Hal Grimson's a right-hand man. He's been there for quite a while now, considering he was kind of the interim manager.
