Robbie Keane

Sadly.

Still hopefully he will be shown up as woefully inadequate and then discarded...

Shame for Robbie, I'd say he would have been well up for playing England

Good man Robbie

**DeLorean** · 22/05/2013, 4:27 PM

What an absolute legend. He could equal the appearance record against Georgia so.

Quite an achievement but nothing compared to the imminent milestone of 300 pages on foot.ie.

**ArdeeBhoy** · 22/05/2013, 4:50 PM

Good, but one last winner v.the Swedes and the play-offs would be the ultimate sign-off.

**Grafter** · 22/05/2013, 6:54 PM

Whatever ye say about Robbie, he has "character" and "personality" (to quote Trap) and lets be honest he does bring something to the team apart from footballing ability - charisma!

Robbie told Galaxy who Trap picked the last time he missed a game for Ireland. Galaxy realised the crime they would be unleashing on the Irish people and gave him permission to come over.

To be fair to the Galaxy, it is a bit of a pain that their star striker and captain leaves them for 2 games while he going away to play friendlies... I wonder how Robbie approached it with them... I'm going to play in a prestige friendly (and Georgia) to further the Galaxy image abroad?

Fair play to Robbie. What a fantastic attitude towards playing for his country (not that it was ever in the slightest bit of doubt) and a great example to follow.

Exactly and it's not like he only turns up for glamour friendlies.

A credit to the country. Legend.

Not alot of people know this but....
it was actually Robbie's boyhood dream to play against England

I'd say that's actually true. It was my boyhood dream too.

**nigel-harps1954** · 23/05/2013, 12:54 PM

Fair play to him. I've been critical of him in the past, but that's a great move.

It would have to be any kids boyhood dream to play against England some day. The chance to kick Rooney et co..
