Macy, I know you have made valid points about pre-season training before. The unfortunate thing from Keane's point of view is that (i) he refuses play the sum total of 6 games for his country under a manager with whom he has no axe to grind and (ii) he plays Worthington Cup games and tours the US with his club. Now, at face value, there is a lot of explaining away to be done. 6 games? I don't know the injury that prevents you from playing 6 games but let's you play the Worthington Cup. I don't know the injury that prevents you travelling to a World Cup qualifier (ala Beckham who has travelled to games in which he didn't participate) but permits you to train at the time of the game and subsequently play in a European Champions League game. I think Liam Mackay summed it up neatly in the Examiner that the only medical condition Roy Keane seems to suffer from is an allergy to playing in green jerseys rather than red.
Dragged this up..... Just to point out that Keano is being rested for his 2nd Champions League game in a row.....
