OTB Sports
About this episode

Join Matthew Brennan, David Wilson and Ben Symes on this week’s episode of the Green Scene, your one-stop shop for all things Irish football.

The trio begin with speaking about Troy Parrott’s Dutch Cup success with AZ Alkmaar at the weekend, and where he could end up next.

The lads sit down with Oisin McEntee, Hearts’ midfielder and one of the standout players in the Scottish Premiership this season.

McEntee speaks about his own journey, from trialling at Manchester United against Brooklyn Beckham to playing alongside Troy Parrott with Ireland underage teams and Belvedere. 

The Cavan native speaks about his Gaelic football background, the influence of new manager Derek McInnes and what it is like to score at Celtic Park.

The lads then chat about some of the best of the Irish abroad as Andrew Omobamidele continues his good form in France, and who could find themselves in an Ireland squad next month.

There is debate around whether Brian Barry Murphy and Robbie Keane could eventually become Ireland head coaches and they end with getting to some of the listener comments from last week.
