"...Shamrock Rovers is only a team in that stadium. They're only tenants there. It's council- owned and therefore it belongs to the people of Tallaght. I think it's very, very important. Robbie Keane is an excellent role model for people in Tallaght. He's an inspiration and he's been very good for local soccer."
its a fair enough point i suppose.
Translation: "I want my photograph taken with Robbie Keane."
No problem with stand's or stadium's being named after sporting heroes from the area, which Keane clearly is. But doing this before he retires and is still largely in the public eye could backfire if he's caught doing a Ryan Giggs.......
Yeah, but we won all the even games!Quote:

If they remnamed the Jodi stand the 'George Michael' stand of the 'Freddie Mercury' stand would you still go?Quote:

SDCC's stand, they can name it whatever they like. As long as they keep the place, clean and keep the pitch right, as per our rental agreement, i couldn't care less what they call a stand.
And thats that. You can close the thread now.
If George Michael gave Bohs a big bag of money I would be happy to see the Stand named after him, even let him loose on the PA to wind up opposition fans :)Quote:

Good idea hoopy but we have far greater things to worry about than naming stands...Quote:

Not at all, you've had far worst.Quote:

Prolific in British and Irish teams on the international scene not in the history of international football, thats just complete rubbish. I'll give him this much, a goal to every 2 games is a terrific feat, but how many of those goals were against some of the worst teams in the world? It's open to criticism but I just don't like him as a player.Quote:

I don't like him as a player either, he's very frustrating to watch, but you can't argue with the statistics. 11th highest goalscorer in Premier League history, out of thousands of players who have appeared in the last 20 years.Quote:

One of the all-time greats? Definitely not, but he's definitely one of the most productive in the modern game.

I'm sure some of his goals were against the worst teams in the world but no more than you'd expect a top class striker to score. His record compares favourably with Bobby Charlton with respect to the importance of games he scored in and in influnencing the outcome of ties:

I'm not questioning that he has scored plenty of goals, as I said, a great feat for any player to score so many. But I just don't like him as a player. As Peadar said, very frustrating to watch.
They were scored against Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Holland to name a few, at the highest level of the game.Quote:

As regards the stand issue, it's an insult to all right-minded football people, and can never be allowed.
