Fair enough, but as humour goes, that's a 1/10. Even EG's pathetic effort was better;Incidentally, that was up on the news earlier.
Who is going to input Robbie's international goals into his wikipedia page?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Keane
Here is an example of how it should be done.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerd_M%C3%BCller
So if you have the time and the info the page is there if you want to update it.
I'd have a go at it if I find the time but I have not found wikipedia easy to modify.
I also do not have the info handy.
Be nice if someone could make a start on it, maybe I will have a go later.
Some of the info can be found here.
First goal was against the Czech Republic it seems.

You've got to tip your hat to such luminaries of the game as Ali Daei and Kiatisuk Senamuang and their exploits against the might of Nepal and Sri Lanka. Although they'd surely dismiss my disingenuity with "Northern Ireland".
All of Robbie's data is here except for tonight's goals but, like yourself, I'd need a bit of time to add it all to his wiki page.

Keane's goals are already there, including tonight's goals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_...national_goals

Well that's the IFA selection issue finally put to bed tonight. If that's the kind of quality of player they're producing then we'll have to find a new feeder association.

The Wiki edit was done by somebody literate, who has Roscommon at heart but living near London.
2 out of 3, that rules out Paul
What did we learn from tonight?
A. Stephen Ward can play international football and can certainly stick in some decent crosses
B. Robbie is still an International footballer
C. Paul McShane is not (regardless of keepy-uppies)
D. Andy Keogh's arm-tattoo makes him look like a right ****!
ps. Anyone else think Stephen Ward looks like Chris Finch from 'The Office'?
Folding my way into the big money!!!
Oh I see, thanks!!
(could have saved me a lot of wasted effort, lol).
I have never seen a page done like that before, I expect most people would miss it if they were just browsing through it.
Seems like the soccorbase list has missed his first against Malta.
According to Twitter the flags were changed to the Ulster banner shortly before KO.
Ah, I see. How did the FAI think they'd get away with an Ulster flag? Or was it some sort of unlikely error?
It's not that odd really. The FAI or IRFU wouldn't likely have too many Banners hanging around Lansdowne. Maybe they asked the Ulster Branch for a lend of the flag from Ravenhill for the pitch?
Watching the highlights on BBC and really, the north were awful. Magilton though saying we were flattered by the scoreline.
As regarding the eligibility issue. Trap handled the question well though indicating that the players eligible for both associations approach the FAI first.
Jim Magilton though showed the ignorance of the situation with some of his comments. Brutal.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
No idea, but if it was a windup to the NI fans it seemed to work.
Could easily have been 8-0, to be honest. I think the result flattered NI.
Any quotes or anything?As regarding the eligibility issue. Trap handled the question well though indicating that the players eligible for both associations approach the FAI first.

Anyone have a list of the Northern Ireland team along with the clubs that each player plays for? Would be interesting to give a perspective of the calibre that we were up against.
You've got no fans.
So nobody would complain if we drew NI in WCQ?
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Easily 8 alright which us what made the BBC analysis so pointlessly biased.
Gonna rewind the coverage now and see what I can get.
