I read the article yesterday, basically O'Neill told Walsh after the 1-1 with Scotland that we would still qualify, Walsh said if we did then he's be the first to congratulate the manager.
Following the play off, Walsh rang and sent a text to congratulate O'Neill on qualification, and he never called back or replied.

Its classic bully behavior, I'm so glad we have moved on

Best of luck to both of them anyway.

I think they stayed too long and have done their reputations a bit of damage over the last few months, but I hope they'll find jobs.

O'Neill should get something, a championship club maybe?

Not sure who would be interested in Keane.

I'd say there is a good chance they will be back together the next time the Forest job comes up.

Just reading Dan McDonnell’s piece about Roy Keane.

‘Keane's sideline manner was abrasive; the Sky microphones picked it up in Aarhus on Monday.’

Missed this. Can anyone enlighten us?

I’d imagine Keane was driven demented by the performances of Irish Central Midfielders

I heard someone during the game describe a particular misplaced pass as 'f***ing b*******t' but I had assumed it was a fan...

I actually place a lot of the blame for our midfield failures on Roy. No doubt this is a bad batch of Irish midfielders, but Roy of all people should have been advocating strongly for O'Neill to select a proper defensive/holding midfielder like a Shaun Williams. It is better to play a more limited defensive midfielder in his proper position than to play a superior technician or attacking player like Hourihane or Hendrick in that defensive role. I actually like Hourihane and Hendrick but feel they were played completely out of position.

I don’t think that it’s a particularly bad batch of midfielders. I just think it’s missing someone who grabs the game by the scruff of the next, missing a “leettle personaliteee” as a previous manager was fond of saying.

As you point out, our midfielders have not been used effectively, as part of a system nor in their best positions by the previous administration. That’s the biggest issue I can see. The players themselves are decent players with potential to be better.

Keane was supportive on the touch line the other night! You could hear him shouting “well done Cyrus” numerous times. Unless he was being sarcastic?!
