Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane

Kerr's honeymoon period lasted until the 2-2 draw with Israel at home

We have limited enough options to choose from at International level IF (and it still remains 'if') the actions of Roy Keane or any other member of the management team is further limiting the pool we select from then the FAI must step in.

Put someone in charge who will try and play football.
I'd be keen on change but not for one of the usual suspects.

Arter pulling out of the squad, Rice pulling out of the squad, Kelly pulling out of the squad. Dont be so naive please, its quite clear what's going on here.

I questioned you before but I’m starting to think you may be on to something. It certainly seems there’s something going on in the camp

The more I think about it though, the more I think it’s not a massive deal. Unless it got personal.
Teams have arguments all the time.
If Arter and Keane had an argument about the game, it tells me that they both care. And the mentality and spirit of the team in many of our games has seemed very strong. We’ve gotten results where we probably had no business getting results at times (Germany, Italy, really putting it up to France who should have won the Euros and deservedly won the World Cup).

It’s hard to know. As I said, unless something got personal (which Keane is capable of to be fair) I can’t see a real problem about two people arguing over tactics/mistakes in a game.

To be honest any player who walks away to consider options, concentrate on the club career etc etc, are not going to be much good to us anyway. We lack the individual ability of the better nations but might just be able to make up for some of it by passion.

Can we keep this discussion to established facts? Speculation about what was said doesn't do anybody any favours

The fact is the country needs him and he is not coming.

I meant speculation on the subject of the argument between Keane and Arter

Palmer seems to know a lot more about the fall-out than the rest of the press, pinch of salt I suspect.

Is that not an oxymoron ?

Interesting poll split 50/50 at the bottom of one article on whether MON should get rid of Keane.

It means they'll get clicks from people on both sides of the argument

The independent is a total rag these days

Ive a feeling that if we get a few more crap results, Keane will be offered up as a sacrificial lamb. ( Keane deserves to be sacked, but I think this will be done by Mon to buy time for himself)
