A caller on Des Cahill's show this evening,who lived in North England said he knew 3 Irish Internationals well,2 of whom were picked for the Poland squad but had pulled out because of Roy's return :eek:
If he was telling the truth(and Des seemed to have good reason to believe he was) this could signal the beginning of a split within the team and have serious impliations for the future of the current squad....
Well if there are players out there deciding not to go because of roys return. they are doing the exact same as roy did by walking out because of a disagreement in the camp. how deos that help. (muppets). Forget about it and lets try and and get to this world cup togetherQuote:

Des was hardly convinced of his credibility, the guy has delusions of grandeur.
Link to the audio d/l so you can judgefor yourself :

Bernard O'Byrne was also on the show in adition to the usual cro-mangons from outside Cork.
It's becoming a big yawn. :(
Quite an interesting show, guy on the phone had some interesting comments to make whether they be true or not.
its is all speculation !the fact is Roy is back and let that be the end of the matter :)
I'd say it was probably Breen and McAteer he was talking about.
No huge loss if it is true.Quote:

Exactly. Brian Kerr referred to Sunderland explicitly when talking about clubs needing their players for the play-off race, and let Paddy Kenny stay at Sheffield United for exactly that reason. It's all a storm in a teacup from lazy journos who think they've nothing to write or talk about now that RMK has pulled out.Quote:

This sjust sounds like the usual ********.
"I heard Roy Keane ate a baby once" Must be true...

McAteer is so eager to play for his country that he'll actually fake fitness to get in the team!
Well its not his country for a start....Quote:

Because he's Irish :rolleyes:Quote:

And I will argue. I think you'll find it was our good friend Roy Keane who dragged us to the World Cup.Quote:
