Why did Ireland’s match against Israel come close to being called off?
All right, this is your second Monday free to all podcast. First one went out in the early hours of this morning with Ken post match in De Bretsen. World Service members also got to hear our emergency pod on Saturday, some absolutely first rate reporting from Ken on the the nonstop drama that unfolded throughout the day. Welcome to the show. Hey Murph. Hey all. Here is a taster for our non members of what went down on Saturday as Ken interrogated Hey Merha Grimson. During that fraught press conference announcing that the game would go ahead after a player vote.
Like Alan, I'm s I I'm surprised it's it's it's reached this point. I mean we've had months per to lead up to the fixture. Wha was at least not every player in this squad, which was named last week, contacted individually to say, Are you ready to play the games?
Uh all all players when they accept to come knew what what games we are gonna play. So it's not like it was a surprise that we were playing these matches. If you don't feel comfortable playing, of course you reject coming in to the camp. So I don't know what
you But was it a was it a discussion that you had? I mean did you not tell us that you had called them up individually? I I called all
outfield players uh Don't don't it uh it's is not my connection talking to the to the goalkeepers, I leave that to other. But all the players knew what we were going into.
Yeah, that ended up being one of the key lines of the whole day on Saturday that Heymar hadn't, in fact, spoken to the entire squad to gauge their feelings in advance. He'd left it to others to check in with the goalkeepers, one of whom ends up being the one who decides he doesn't want to play these fixtures against Israel. Kenneth travelling back today after his sterling work over in Hungary. He'll be back in studio tomorrow. One thing we didn't mention last night, I think, Murph, was the absolute weirdness of Of the TV coverage. Yeah. Orti obviously just take taking the UEFA commentary feed. So the viewer joins it with players. I know some people just didn't watch this at all. Um people who did watch it will know what we're talking about.
That the viewer just joins it with the players in the tunnel ready to come out. Two teams both looking for their first points of the campaign. Says generic UEFA man. That's the entirety of the context around this fixture. Yeah. If you didn't know what was going on. And he stuck he stuck to that line. Oh my god. His ability to to Block out the noise. He did to use the football phrase was uh unparalleled. The Ireland players bow their heads during the Israeli anthem, no mention for my competitor. The best line was Gavin Bazuna has chosen not to make himself available. So defender Jimmy Dunn takes his place on the bench.
