Is that why your football team's so shite? :)

Read Keano's autobiography - all you need to know about the Irish set up ;)

Indeed Winnie and y do the Irish/Scottish bang on about how much they drink?? the truth is they drink less than the English but we dont boast about it..same wi geordies n rest of England !! :wink: :lol:

Here's one - why do the English "bang on" about how much they win (think "football's coming home) - when they don't win anything very often...? :lol:

oh just when normal english people thought that the prat had dissappeared he returns to compound the fine reputation mikeymariner has gained.

get in mikeymariner u crusader for Engerlund u.

u forgot the welsh Mikey.... remember they are not Engurlish either

Mikey, you are a prat aren't you? Always with the negativity... is it some sort of inferiority complex or something? You know like a kid that's always giving grief to other kids but really they are the one who's crying on the inside. Do you just want to cry and have people tell you they love you? :cry:
What age are you anyway??

Winnie fair enough mate the Ireland set up leaves a lot to be desired but that does not excuse Roy Keane for ditching his country at the World Cup.

Mick McCarthy's your joker pal.

Keano has gone through a whole career saying exactly what he sees. All of it the truth, why would he lie?

McCarthy set him up and paid the price. I was a happy man when he got the sack from Sunderland after guiding them to the worst season ever in the Premiership. Proves the man's worth.

i dont think the seanfella is sticking up for mc carthy cos he was a joke....

.... but keano is a pro footballer representing his country at the biggest tournament ever and he left them without a captain and they got knocked out in the second round on penalties by a lucky spain team. If the facilities were so bad then he knew the team needed everyone to double their efforts on the pitch.They could have done with him. I dont care if he liked mc carthy or if mc carthy liked him... he should have got on with it regardless. He didnt, he walked away.

He went down in my estimation that day

Nothing excuses that....... ever.

have you read his autobiography and the script from his interview after the crucial meeting? Keano was going to leave after the first bust up, then after speaking to his friends and family he decided to stay for the sake of his family.

McCarthy then called a meeting in which he accused Keane of betraying the nation etc... etc.... it was then that McCarthy forced Keane out of the squad. no captain can stay in a team where the manager has completely undermined him and basically told him to leave.

Even before Saipan, McCarthy had broken promises made to Keane about the preparation and facilities. Now's not the time to go into detail about this though.
