    RTE is a joke if that clown can get any air time.

    It was priceless when he shouted across at Dunphy about how a lot of men would like to be sitting this close to him while he proceeded to punch his hand.

    3. I have a FA preliminary coaching badge, gained in 1989. So I'm actually qualified to talk football. Unlike your good self, I'm guessing.

    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.

    coaching badge eh, there are a lot of coachs with those, does it make them any good at the job....no...

    example, denis (spelled wrong i think before you pull me up on it ) wise, no qualifications and in the fa cup final, where are all the qualified coaches......

    tony adams, badges, degrees etc......how is he doing in his first job....

    we have a former el player and a former el manager in the top international set up, thats good enough for me......

    to sum it up, coaching badge my arse....

    end of late night rant, except to say i voted yes...


    oh and paddy will you p1ss off with this grammer and spelling ****, i can't spell and never have been able to and these days grammer is not thaught ( spelled wrong again ) in irish schools so you don't know what you've never been shown, so knock it off.....

    emotions are mixed at the mo, but i just can't help wondering what would be the reaction if he scored the winner against france in paris in sept.......we are fickle humans and it doesn't take much to sway our thoughts, look at who is in government for the proof.......

    think he should have stayed away and voted no.but when he pulls back on the green jersey all bets are off and wouldnt dream of booing him.he has certainly lost a lot of credibility in most peoples eyes and would appear to have gone "cap in hand" to kerr.
    my advice for what its worth:take him back into the team but the" hero" bit is over.from now on (when selected he is treated as an ordinary player) by both officials and the crowd at matches ,clap when he does anything good but leave out"KEANO KEANO".

    Am I the only one who is 50/50 on this?? I always respected Keane, but after the Japan ****e I have lost alot of respect, at the same time we could do with a leader in the middle, so if you look at it from a point of strenghtening the team on the whole it has to be good, I think we benefit from the return more than him more so from the qualifying point of view....

    Coaching badges may not a good manager make, but it qualifies me to talk about football. If you'd have read Carnstien's attack on me, then you'd have seen why I mentioned it. And it's not something I've referred to before here, as I've not felt the need until now.

    Load of shoite. Have you ever had an enquiring mind, Max? Chances are you have on at least something, and you've gone off and found out about it all by yourself. Were you taught how to use the internet in minute detail, or did you learn this by trial and error? Exactly. You'd still be waiting if you were sitting around for someone to teach you...

    In summary, I must ask - was my argument with you, Max? No. Then it's you that should take a hike. Unless you're Carnstien in disguise, that is... Eejit.

    Rubbish. It should be the best candidates for each respective job, no matter where they or their roots hail from.

    As if to prove it's not personal (see my response to you elsewhere), I agree with you fully on this. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, as the saying has it.

    Just watched Primetime on the RTE website never seen anything as funny, "Dangerous," classic quote from the I'm wearing my best cardigan pundit. Dunphy was a bit of a hypocrite in stating that Byrne wrote Charltons biography, hes not exactly impartial himself. As ever with RTE it starts off sensible then descends into a farce, you gotta love Irish TV.

    I'm disappointed. Tune into Ormeau Avenue for the sports news, as BT15's finest secure Premier League football for another season.

    But all they're talking about is some reformed drunkard from Altrincham getting a part-time job

    Many of us are 49/51: That 2% entailing the foaming of our mouths. There are some things you'd love to be right about. In this case I hope I'm wrong: It will only end in tears of joy.

    Did you see him do the FA Cup draw recently? Looked like Tony Soprano

    Sorry, as you were. I'm neutral really. Look forward to reports back of Bydgoszcz banter...

    Fine. Point taken. I lashed out at Carnstien on all fronts because s/he, as always, started to make it personal. However inadvertently, I crossed a line and for that I apologise.

    I supported the team when mick mc carthy even though i did not agree wth his treatment of paul mc grath and denis irwin or his tactics. I supported the team through tick and thin regardless of what player was playing etc. I will be supporting the team with or without Roy keane. But with Roy keane back in the team we are more likely to be more successful which is the object of football.

    Lets list who are in favour of this

    Brian Kerr
    Fran Rooney
    Kevin Moran
    Ray Houghton
    Mark Lawrenson
    Frank Stapleton
    Damien Duff
    Kenny Cunningham
    Robbie Keane,
    John O Shea
    Liam Miller
    Jason Mc Ateer
    Niall Quinn

    I cant list one person who is involved in irish football at any sort of high level that is against this idea. I think the list above is a good cross section of irish past and present. The only people who seem to be against it are people who have the idea of irish nationality which is , if i dont agree with it its not irish. Regardless of what you think of Roy Keane you should give Brian Kerr the full backing for welcoming him back and letting him into the squad. If he can do it why can you. Or are you all more informed than him on Irish football.
