Whats RMK?????
Oh, and NO by the way (well, not really)
I cant believe all this negativity.
Our best player, the man who carried us to the 2002 WC and is still without a doubt one of the best midfield players in the world will be playing for us again.
I am overjoyed, this will make our weak midfield infinatly stronger and will be great news for young players like Miller and Andy Reid.
Have you ever even watched an Ireland match in which Keane has played? In competitive matches when it really counts, no player has EVER given more for his country than Roy Keane, questioning the mans commitment is a joke and if you would rather have eleven Kevin Kilbanes you neither know anything about football, nor do you actually care if the team wins, and in football all that matters is winning, Kevin Kilbane might try hard but at the end of the day he is a looser, Keane is a winner!Quote:

He was itching to get home two days prior. To the dog I believe but that's enough about FergusonQuote:

Again.Quote:

4. As I've said elsewhere, "principles" appears before "prostitution" in the dictionary. And I've learned enough over the years in playing and coaching to know that the manner in which one takes part is always, always more important than whether the victory is won. As in life. Maybe when you're older, you'll find this out for yourself.

If you mean that by bringing to a head a form of industrial action in order to get proper training facilities, hotels, etc., etc., then yes. But as Conor74 says this was not the case. It was a cop out.Quote:

Unlike Celtic, it DOES have to do with the Ireland national team. As I posted on another thread about the same thing, all this sh*t has done is set people at each others' throats on here. :mad: :(Quote:

No. There's 2 and three quarter million other men more deserving of a place on the Irish team than him.
Who saw primetime? Funniest one ever!
There was Dunphy, some scruff from the "Irish Supporters Association" and Peter Byrne (washed up journalist) who looked like he was attending a funeral.
The scruffy guy said that we should have a referendum on the issue and that it was dangerous situation and that civil war was ready to break out (said this at least three times)
Byrne just waffled on about playing for the shirt or something.
Eventually after listening to the rubbish Dunphy snapped and asked the question that as on everyones lips "Where did you get these two guys from?"
Then the scruffy guy started clenching his fist and punching his hand at which point they cut it.
I'm still laughing!
Can you quote a source on that piece of information.Quote:

Well by your logic shouldn't it be 2,767,612.Quote:
