Not referring to your post rather Roy's comments.
Maybe his players have drink problems because he is their manager - lol.

Oh I know Tricky and I agree.

next month Keane will be saying Anthony stokes used to come to training off his face on bath salts

Boozing by the Irish team? Naw, that was bonding! If all our lads didn't go out and get sh!tfaced together surely they wouldnt have created such a tight unit and made us hard to beat.

BTW I blame the IT sub editor more than Keane. its a small enough part of the article and seeing as Keane continues to sign Irish players in great numbers for Ipswich 9and before that Sunderland) he obviously doens't have too much of a problem with it

As someone who lives in Chicago and spends a lot of time in New York and Dublin, my personal experience is that drinking permeates American culture as much as it does Irish. Absent certain groups (Jewish, Islamic etc.) most all Americans drink to excess. Not sure they have the same "team drinking" culture that our sports teams seem to have mind.
