Then, now pay attention for this bit,

I divided Kevin Doyles 6 goals by the 24 (ref : Wiki & Soccer Republic & FAI) games he played and amazingly got the ratio of 1:4 (1 goal every 4 games).

Did they not teach maths in your school??

Emm Yeah, Think you may have read my post wrong Bigman. Doyle's been fantastic for us since he came in and I would therefore prefer him to Morrisson. All I said was, I'd have Morrison in the squad before Folan. I Think we might be singing off the same page here chief.

Never scores against the big teams, though he may have scored twice: that's robbie.

May have found his most useful position tonight.

What's Robbie's goalscoring record under Trap like now? He must be one of Europe's most in form strikers?

ok, world champions away.:)

But that's Robbie, he always leaves you with a "if only" taste in the mouth. We were THAT close to beating Italy away! Very good performance. If anyone is in any doubt how lucky we are to have him watch tonight again.

I'll need to watch again because I thought he was hardly in the game until he scored the goal, but then I was probably expecting too much, I thought he might run at the defence more.

It's been obvious for years that he does his best work when facing defenders outside of the box and not sitting in their with his back to goal.

Just an hypothesis but imagine he hadn't scored the first goal and that second chance that he missed was the only chance he had, the judgment here would be vastly diifferent over him "missing a sitter" !

Congratulations, the 2,500th post on Robbie, summing it up!

yeah you gotta love his attitude-he's been one of the ones clearly positively affected by what the likes of the rugby team have done and has spoken of it a few times recently and wears his heart on his sleeve for us. finished extremely well-always shows his delight when he scores-fans want to see this, we want to see that the players give a crap and that they are not like their overpaid moronic premiership team mates.

Don't know if you ever got your answer to this question, but it's:

Code:

01/10/2000 Reggina 2 - 1 Inter 14/10/2000 Inter 3 - 1 SSC Napoli 22/10/2000 Udinese 3 - 0 Inter 01/11/2000 Inter 2 - 0 Roma 12/11/2000 Inter 0 - 1 Lecce 10/12/2000 Fiorentina 2 - 0 Inter

He started 4 of those games, and came on as a sub in the 79th minute against Roma and the 76th minute against Fiorentina.

He's got six goals under Trapattoni now. Quite a remarkable goalscoring record.

Why are you comparing one of Europe's top strikers who makes a mockery of world champions with a has-been who chokes on one of the biggest stages in football?

it shows keanes rate is extremely good as both teams play similar football and similar talent level

I was taking the p*ss. I was referring to his miss in the European Cup final though (he did, though, score the winning penalty in his previous one). He also didn't play well in the World Cup, but again that was probably due to him not recovering from a pre-tournament injury. Actually, after that tournament he's never looked quite the same on a consistent basis. He was a great striker, but I doubt very much that he'll be back. He's 32 now and barely gets a game for Milan. I can only see him doing well again if he moves back to Ukraine to play for Kyiv, but that would be mainly down to the lower standards of the league.
