maybe thats just me.

ok, just supposing you're right. what I was really referring to was when Brian Kerr met him and offered him the chance to return. He walked out of that room saying he'd come back and then phoned Kerr to say he'd changed his mind. In what way is that NOT walking out on your country. You tell me

Earth to L*nger land! No I don't want Ireland to fail you pre-dropped cojones f*ckwit. I'm scared that bringing him back we will fail. He's past his best, he's caused too much damage, and he's a walking bottle of Nitroglycerine. No, I'm not going to boo him. In 23 years of watching Ireland I've never booed an Irish player and I'm not going to start now, but just when you think (with the Czech result especially) that Kerr is getting to grips and forming a team with potential he has to bring up this sh*t. In two years time I hope you can come back and enlarge that big smilie with the tongue and tell me 'I told you so'.

WELCOME BACK ROY

Damn. I thought this a thread about the Fermanagh Fumbler. He can stay away warming his arse on the ManU bench, actually

**�anna** · 13/04/2004, 6:25 PM

oh yeah. just meant to say. can we leave the insults and the debate about what he did or didn't do for the other thread please. we can just vote and look at the results here, and debate our opinions there.

thanks

Any more personal attacks will result in bans. Nasty, instant bans with no appeals, no dupe accounts, no nothing. This applies to n00bs and old-timers alike. Don't annoy dahamsta, he's not taking it today.

Duncan...please...stay out....you don't want to get involved in any of this...just be glad that Craig and Carson did their bit and that civil war has passed you by.

**Gary** · 13/04/2004, 6:30 PM

Hm, is this the fastest thread ever on foot.ie. I think this is post 176 since lunchtime. Only a w@nker like Roy could provoke so much debate

I'm hoping he comes to Eason's in Belfast for the 2002-postponed book launch. The Linfield boys want a word, but I don't think most of your fans up North are too impressed with ould Roy either...

**4tothefloor** · 13/04/2004, 6:56 PM

A resounding YES!

Walk out? WRONG.
He was sent home.

Lied about health? WRONG.
He clearly had an injury which needed surgury.

Apology? WRONG
McCarthy is no longer manager and is unlikely to apologiise for sending Roy
home.

The rest of your post is also wrong and abusive, isn't it a little early
for you to be ****ed out of your brain? Probably not

I assume you have drank your breakfast.

**deadman** · 13/04/2004, 7:06 PM

unfortunately, its a yes

**Beavis** · 13/04/2004, 7:07 PM

I won't boo Roy but could understand those who choose to do so.This will bitterly divide fans and team alike.....

And for the Romania game,oh jesus 'the homecoming'

,the Man Ures will be in their element..Keano Keano Keano...There's only one Keano..... la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la Kean-no

Kenny C MUST remain captain

Don't forget his 90mins of the critical tie with Leceister City just 36 hours later?Irelands biggest game in recent history or a run of the mill home league game against a side United would beat with their third team...Does this not spell out his dedication to international football!??!

**deadman** · 13/04/2004, 7:17 PM

i have to say i've major mixed emotions about his return and i certainly don't welcome him back with open arms ... but anyone who boos a member of an Irish Squad does not deserve to call themselves a true supporter of our national team.

any negative response is hardly going to help matters on the pitch (where things really matter)

the irish team is not about any one individual

if only Roy could have remembered this in the first place

**Jon'o** · 13/04/2004, 7:24 PM

Evey team evolves ... roy has had his time, the team has moved on.

He 'may' have been sent home but he didnt need to retire, surely if hes all seeing then he would have seen mccarthy being f**ked out the door in his crystal ball (or his hip replacement, im sure they do see through ones).

so if he comes back into the team and we make it to germany would roy be able to last until the world cup starts, if he decides that he is past it then are we going to see another argument and quotes of 'you used me to get to the world cup' ??

Plus didnt that sir alex at man ure have some say as to if roy should retire or not? he wont be too impressed with roy being taken away for friendlys when man ure could be challanging for chuff all.

Couldn't do it, I'm afraid. I stand by my principles, inasmuch as however "RMK" (thanks Davros for the neutral-sounding epithet) enhances the team, and I've no doubt he will, I'd rather eleven one-footed Kevin Kilbanes played for Ireland. At least you'd always know that, however limited the talent, you had eleven men ready to sweat blood for their country.

I couldn't put it better myself on all counts. That said, he's still a scumbag, but unfortunately for those of us with principles, the most talented player we possess.

I'll never boo him, but from this point on, as long as he's on the field for Ireland, I'll only be cheering for ten players. It's just a shame Brian Kerr didn't tell him to go **** himself after the Scotland incident.

I'm going to let that slide because it was posted in response to lopez, who posted before my warning. Do it again and you're dust.

Oi you, leave me outta this!

Other than that Lopez, you pretty much have my full backing. And as for those who would call us "begrudgers" for being bitter about RMK's prevous treatment of us, well lads, it's a shame ye have goldfish memories. (And that's not meant to be in any way personal to anyone, dahamsta, it's just wry commentary on the way yerman continues to split this board. A shame.)
