I think it's not fair on Keane to believe that every word he speaks in a 60 minute interview to a fringe Christian radio station in Cork is a calculated snipe or dig. I haven't listened to the interview but, as I've pointed out above, his case that the team's Irishness is more "diluted" now than it was in his time is just plain wrong, but I can't disagree with his view on the mooted arrival of O'Hara, Pennant et al.
I think we all agree that the team represents the diaspora, not just the Irish born & bred, but this isn't inconsistent with hoops1's view, though I believe he too is wrong in his initial statement.
