I dunno bout this "team spirit" . fairly intangible quality. We will see if Staunton by bringing back "team spirit" can improve results. jury is still out on it til then.

I know you can't quantify team spirit, but from experience if there is discontent in the camp, it usually makes its way on to the field at some stage. Not sure at what point Kerr stopped getting the best out of players, or what went wrong, i'm sure some of the players will enlighten us further in years to come.
It's an awful pity others don't share your view Klein4. It was only 3 weeks ago when some people weren't viewing backroom staff as a managers entitlement and were actually questionning it!!

Kerr could have easily kept Mick Byrne on in that capacity. The fact that Kerr didn't shows that he tried to be too smart with the set-up. The only **** that should be mentioned on this thread is Kerr.
Regardless of what anyone says about McAteer, he was brave enough to put Keane in his place. And unlike Keane, McAteer didn't go on television spinning his PR-driven stories
So Jmaican, when did thec Stupid One put Keane in his place?????Iasked you at about noon today and you still have not answered?
does anyone other than Perry want to open this one again ?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I dunno if you are saying I was questioning it? I certainly dont remember and your a few hours too late for the abuse thread.
and nedder yeah we do need an extra something to punch above our weight (witness northern ireland at home to england.)but if the players arent up to it they arent up to it.(witness northern ireland away to england) so time will tell on that one. anyway I'm off to the frames, good luck. (que pm from eirebhouy bout discussing non football issues in a thread)
I've only just logged back on. Hence my late reply. Unlike you, I'm a busy man and can't stay logged on all day. At the Stadium of Light in August 2002McAteer told Keane that he could write his "rant" in the latest chapter of his book. McAteer wasn't afraid to tell it to him. Keane's response was to elbow him later in the game, the type of response you'd associate with him.

On the Mick Byrne topic, I have to say he annoyed me a bit with his antics when he had to mount the manager whenever we scored.
I have no knowledge of his professional abilities as the "sponge man".

wouldn't exactly call that putting him in his place FFS
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS
Lads this is getting tiresome. I think there should be a ban on Saipan been brought up. Its ****ing 4 years ago.
In Trap we trust
Agreed, and I've posted about this before. GET. OVER. IT.
There's a hell of a lot of things that happened to me 4 years ago that I couldn't give a toss either way about now. Saipan is one of them. People keep saying how will we ever recover from it? By letting it go and getting on with our lives you morons.
