Agreed plus there was no way Given could have gotten to it. McShane was expecting Dunne to head it away as normally but Dunne was obstructed by a player returning from an offside position.
There was about 5 different reasons why that goal should have been disallowed.
I haven't bothered reading this thread but I heard Keane's rant in full. He seems to have a major grudge against Given amongst other. He insults all and sundry and sounds extremely bitter.
According to OfftheBall guys, it's because Given was friendly with Packie Bonner who in turn was friendly with Mick McCarthy, tenuous I know.
It seems he has a grudge against everyone linked to the FAI or Delaney or Mick, a working with the enemy type thing, them and us.
I don't know why anyone listens to Roy anymore, he has some outrageous views and this is another on a long line of them.
Keane is a sad bitter man living on his reputation as a tough footballer. His managerial skills seem inept. Its almost Xmas and he has won 1 game. Its a pity nobody asked him how he reckons, by his own high standards, he is doing with Ipswich. He has an answer for everybody else's problem but he seems dumbfounded by his own problems.
He seems obsessed and unhinged. Its comes acroos like the he has been getting worked up watching the fall out from Weds match working himself into a rage and revisiting resentments until he could finally vent his anger to the press/World...and then a Reporters phone rings.:rolleyes:
If I was an Ipswich fan or Director I would be very concerned where his focus seems to lie.
If I was an Ipswich Player I would be checking House Prices outside of East Anglia.
he was giving a pre-match press conference for Ipswich's weekend game and was asked numerous questions about the Irish incident given that he is the former Irish captain. Not hard to figure out why he talked about it to be fair.
I'd be more worried about why Harry Redkanpp, Sir Ferg and Lee Dixon were talking about it
Cantona defending Ireland, Keane defending France... So fuuuuuunny...
Fed up listening to that [MOD EDIT - NOT ON FOOT.IE].
He should concentrate on his own mess.
Trying to blame Shay.....a man who loves playing for his country.
I actually symapthised with Keane on the whole Saipan thing and have had to defend this view for 7 years (no don't start on me about it). But I cannot believe that he is still harping on about it when the topic at hand is his country being cheated out of a WC spot. Christ man can you not see the bigger picture - has he grown to hate his country as well as the FAI?
I'll always worship him for what he achieved in an Irish shirt but time to let sleeping dogs lie
anyone got a link to the full Roy interview - I've seen snippets?
Does anyone reckon Keane would be as calm and measured if Ipswich are denied a win soon by a blatant dive or handball?
Delaneys response today is spot on.
