Robert on the Late Late now.
Shamrock Rovers vs LA Galaxy in the most mouth watering friendly in the history of friendliness. The Super Bowl of Soccer. You chaps should try to get tickets right away.
Robbie (the real nr.1) makes a magnanimous gesture to boost Obama's self esteem at the White House reception with the US president.
A video clip of Obama's big day:
Look at the scummy head on Gary Bettman. GAH!
On that. Robbie totally missed a trick that time he didn't move to Leicester.

Not sure who the tool was asking questions for the first minute of this (might be O'Donoghue), but to suggest to Keane that Gerrard would be his new captain is massively disrespectful. The attitude of some of the Irish media to Robbie over the years is shocking.
FFS, Robbie Keane was captain of LA over Landon Donovan last year, the greatest US player ever. Stupid reporter with a shocking question.
"Jacques Santini...will be greeted in every dugout of the country by "one-nil, one-nil" - Clive Tyldsley, 89th minute of France-England June 13, 2004.
"Ooooohhhh Nooooooo" Bobby Robson 91st minute.
Totally agree that it was a very inappropriate question but maybe Horan was just trying to have a little fun with him. If Keane had reacted with a little laugh and said something like "haha he'll have a job taking that off me" it wouldn't have been as tense and awkward. I'm kind of willing to give Horan the benefit of the doubt as he usually seems pretty harmless, if it was TOD I'd be up in arms though
i think it's more a symptom of our national inferiority complex to anything english in these matters.
But yes, Keane has got some shabby treatment over the years. I think he is a great ambassador for the country, a real national treasure. His move to the USA was inspired.
Robbie could see himself in charge of Irish team someday.

I was just compiling some stats recently and it amazing the number of international games Robbie has played per club game: The ratio is 4.01 club games per international. In the small sample I checked that Given leads the way with 3.76 while Staunton has 4.71, Paul McGrath 5.75, Roy Keane 7.05, Cunningham 7.35 and Denis Irwin 12.00 ! I suspect the latter's are skewed by early retirement or perhaps Fergusonitis.
And yet some will continue to question Robbie's commitment to the cause.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Interesting. I suppose Irwin wasn't selected for us until he was nearly 25. I think the figures you have used are only counting league games so the likes of Roy Keane's would actually be far worse if you counted all the Champions League and cup games he played for United, in particular. Robbie's is actually level with Given if you count all club games, both 4.84:1.
High praise for Robbie: http://balls.ie/football/robbie-kean...s-illustrated/

If Keane was a British player with the same international accomplishments he'd be knighted! I'm drawing a blank on a similar recognition over here, Freedom of Tallaght maybe!
