You ever fly charter though Noely? Different experience. Way easier.

Can't say I have Crosby.

Yeah, plus he's a professional athlete who's used to flying all over the place a couple of times a week. He'll have his body clock sorted and get his sleep at the right times.

Wow, Beckham can still whip a great cross in! Anyway, great to see that Keane's in a bit of form in America. We won't be up against a world class defence against Estonia with all respect to them so it's more important he's sharp and confident, even if the MLS isn't of the highest standard.

Robbie's post-match interview..... he has his priorities right anyway as he's already thinking about the game on Friday

No private jets for our Robbie (a charter flight has a different meaning in Ireland, Crosby) - this is the FAI we're talking about so he was on a scheduled flight this morning - probably connecting in Chicago or London. He will be up the front of the plane though so I think he'll be fine by Friday.

Charter to me means "private hire" essentially with a private commercial pilot(cpl) flying ET. I'm sure most see it as the same.

It doesn't matter whether there is 1 person or 80 people on the flight.

Charter to me, means plane full of chavs, fcuk all leg room and paying for your meal, drink, use of toilet etc... oh and heading to Benidorm.

I'd do a lot worse to her.

Standard practice when encountering someone speaking in tongues.

I think that must have been a relic of your years in America, Paul or maybe it's just an age thing! Junior's definition of charter is the first thing that springs to my mind for me - JWT and Budget Travel charter flights to Spain in pre-Ryanair days (the only thing approaching a cheap flight in those times).

With the MLS season almost over (Nov 20), I wouldn't be surprised if Keane gets a loan to a Prem team for a few months like Donovan(Everton) and Beckham(Milan) have done in the past.

think he is already on record saying that he is not interested in a loan deal during MLS off-season.
qualification for the Euros and the need to stay fit could change that though

**cclinton** · 08/11/2011, 8:51 PM

there's really no need for a loan to stay fit. MLS teams get back together in late January and the 2012 season will start around Paddy's Day. Christmas at home in Dublin with a couple of visits to Gibneys, sure life is grand. Ideal ramp up for being sharp in the Summer, I would think.... compared to others who will have been playing non stop since last July.

**Murfinator** · 08/11/2011, 9:20 PM

Break would do him much better with June in mind than continuous gametime.

**Hale** · 08/11/2011, 9:23 PM

We have to beat Estonia first before he can start thinking of June.

A break from what? It's not as if he's had persistant football for the last couple of seasons to suffer burnout. If we qualify he should seek out a loan move. He's the type of player that needs a run of games.
