Should that not read, MLS player rankings --> compiled by a computer game for kids?

His wife gave birth to a baby boy last night: https://www.facebook.com/RobbieKeane...16363435114585
Congratulations Robbie and Claudine!

Roy's take on it:

And here are some more good quotes, this time from Republic of Ireland assistant manager Roy Keane after the news that Robbie Keane's wife Claudine has given birth to the couple's second son in Los Angeles.

Robbie missed training in Dublin on Tuesday but Roy poured very cold water on speculation that the birth may mean the striker could miss Thursday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Germany.

"Why wouldn’t he be [here]? He didn’t have the baby, did he?” said the former Manchester United captain.

"Unless he’s breastfeeding. Robbie’s had a game and has been travelling."

To be named Roy? First one is Robbie jr,.

It's hardly a "hilarious message" though is it? If one of your mates said it around a table in a pub, would everyone crack up? It's just another of Keane's silly soundbites for the media. Easy thing to say that Robbie will be slightly delayed because his wife has had a baby but Roy is just courting attention with these comments and it works.

More importantly, not much time for Robbie to sleep off the jet lag.

Snidy from Keane but nothing new there.

**DeLorean** · 07/10/2015, 11:19 AM

It was really nasty. I hope Tony O'D. is okay.

**geysir** · 07/10/2015, 12:23 PM

Tony was in stitches. That was a good stand-up delivery from Roy.

**DeLorean** · 07/10/2015, 12:55 PM

For the record... I was being sarcastic.

So Robbie, what did you make of Roy Keane's breastfeeding comment?

Good man Robbie!

I thought robbie was a bit sheepish/bitchy in it, the jet lag might be affecting him.

Christ, "football banter"

**DeLorean** · 08/10/2015, 10:34 AM

Roy's comment totally unnecessary but I enjoyed it as it's no harm to take TOD down a peg or two every so often. Owls is right that it wouldn't have been funny in a pub context with your mates, but then again that wasn't the context. Robbie's 'comeback' was just cringing.

Some finish but my God what was No.24 doing? Even after being caught with the long ball he still had all the time in the world to recover and hold Keane up, or at least arch his foot around to block the shot.
