On this week’s episode of The Green Scene with Matthew Brennan, Ben Symes and David Wilson, we unpack the fallout from Ireland’s politically charged Nations League win over Israel – and the questions that still hang over the FAI’s handling of the entire window.
Ben takes us inside how Paul Cooke finally fronted up after the match, what he said about “the media narrative”, and why the late “players’ vote” has left a lot of responsibility landing on the squad instead of the people in charge.
We also reflect on the pressure on a young group, the on-pitch gestures, the alleged abuse, and what comes next as Austria visit on Thursday – plus a quick nod to Ireland U21s and what’s ahead.
