Welcome along to another episode of The Green Scene here on Off The Ball, your place for all things Irish football. And we're here at Match Week again. Who would have thought just a couple of weeks after the game in Prague that the boys in green will be back once again. Yes, Eimear Halgrimson's Republic of Ireland men's national team are going to be facing Grenada in a friendly at the Nuevo Condomina Marcia. in Spain muy bien gracias on Saturday evening 5 o'clock kick off time Irish time but 6 o'clock local time nice sunny Spain on Saturday evening I can think of worse places that you could be in the month of May so we're going to go over basically the outlook of the squad and that game over the next 45 minutes or so and how a couple of other players and managers are getting on around Europe I'm delighted to say that I'm joined as usual
by Matthew Brennan Matthew how are you doing I'll go Ben how are you getting on very well David Wilson how are you flying it flying it the green scene on off the ball is brought to you by Cadbury a proud sponsor of the Republic of Ireland football teams it is match week what's the kind of general feeling towards this is it apathy is it excitement is it nervous like what is the actual feeling towards this game going ahead Matthew I'll start with you maybe
Well, I'm definitely not nervous. I'm not nervous at all. I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to seeing some fresh faces done in the green jersey. And that's about it, really. It's somewhat exciting, isn't it? It's different. It's probably not a feeling that I've kind of had before towards a game. Usually you do get a little bit nervous regardless. Even the friendlies are kind of like, oh, what's going to happen here? What are we going to see? Is he going to do something that... If you're playing a friendly that doesn't have huge significance, you'd kind of go, oh... well if he does this that might mean something for the next team you know for the big games I don't think really whatever Hamer decides to do over the weekend is going to have a great impact on what we see in the Nations League but there is obviously and this is the point of this camp is for him to get a look at some guys that he wouldn't have the opportunity to look at otherwise and that's where the excitement is because we'll also get the opportunity to have a look at these guys that we wouldn't get to see otherwise in the Ireland shirt
What are the expectations for Rory Finneran's performance in the Irish squad?
it's a bit like the green scene camp isn't it some of these players involved here what young fresh talent the original off the ball breakfast green scene was littered full of league one league two championships it's not quite that to be fair these guys are a little bit higher profile than that but if you're in the camp right now what player would you be if I was in no sorry so you've taken it that way you're saying you're saying that the three of us are like I was more going this is players that we've been talking about for the last couple of months I jumped on that as well if I was one player in the camp whatever the best player is yeah first for me kidding Carl yeah okay that's a dig yeah
I don't think at all no no smashing football yeah yeah nah like this camp is it's a weird one like just the way the time of the year and stuff like that but it is going to be interesting to see how things develop from here and what sort of camps does him or Hal Grimson get his kind of teeth into over the next maybe year or so you know he's obviously talked about the January camp as well before that he'd like to do there are some you know there are some international teams that are heading into a World Cup camp obviously now over the next kind of few weeks as well so
