I don't think you could compare Keane with Shearer... Keanes stupid roll and firing an imaginary weapon was embarrassing
He clearly wasn't embarassed by it so I don't know how you could say it is
It's naff tbh
Doubt he cares tbf
most likely and that is his problem I think...
Correct. Keane has scored 41 international goals playing by and large in a weaker side to Shearer who scored 30.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
GOAL!!! Celtic 1 Dundee United 0 Robbie Keane opens his account at Celtic Park. He is played in on goal and shows great composure to slide the ball past Pernis into the corner. A cool finish from the Irish captain.
Perhaps Keane should join Duff at Fulham at the end of the season, although he still has a few good years in him yet.
Yapster, nobody is comparing Keane to Shearer except yourself which is foolish as no player is any where near the quality of Shearer at the moment
it's about quality
It's about quantity in fairness and that is the so called problem that a lot of people on here seem to have with Robbie, he doesn't score enough (top 10 in alltime topscorer in Premiership), he never scores against the big teams (Russia, Czech x2, Netherlands x2, Germany, Spain, Italy and France) he doesn't drop enough or is greedy (24 in alltime assists in Premiership)
Robbie Keane was a world class striker a few years ago, the move to Liverpool has really ruined his career and hopefully he will find a good club for next season as he is not going to be wanted at Spurs and Celtic would be a silly move
Internationally they are roughly the same Shearer, though scored 30 in 63 games and Keane has 41 in 95 games.
Also 2009 was Keane's best year internationally equal with 02 and 04 so it ain't anywhere near the end yet

To be fair, it was never that he didn't score ever against the big teams, it was just that he hadn't for basically the entire Kerr and Staunton reigns - I remember he had a gilt-edged chance at home to Germany and he almost looked surprised to even be in a goal-scoring position and fluffed it completely. The most encouraging aspect of the last campaign is that he's re-found his touch when the pressure is really on.
Keane never was close to world class ever, failed with top clubs and is now at the end of his career at 28 as no quality club will touch him. Has been good overall for Ireland and hopefully will continue to do so.
Got hacked down by Brughera every time he got the ball today but still had a good volley save.
Unfortunately, Robbie's slim hopes of an SPL winners medal were extinguished today when the long coward, Kyle Lafferty took adive to get Scott Brown sent off. Disgraceful cowardice and two years in a row from Lafferty.
Not a great perfromance from McGeady who was subbed.
ROBBIE'S PULLED OUT OF THE BRAZIL GAME.
A knee injury against the Rangers thugs. And with Robbie you know it's for early not like his Cork namesake.

Watched parts of the Old Firm game today, for want of something better to do. Robbie was fairly anonymous, but the standard of football in general (technically and tactically) was atrocious - at one stage Celtic were playing with four centre-forwards. Not sure there is anything that we could possibly learn about Robbie while he's playing for such an inept, directionless team in such an awful league.
That'll give Leon Best a chance to impress then. Maybe bring Stokes in too.
Sad to see Robbie missing out on a high profile game agaist Brazil. Even though its only a friendly who would not want to play against Brazil.

Stokes called up as his replacement

Yeah he was shocking today as was the whole team, we have been playing quite well recently anaw and so has McGeady in fact before his suspension (last week) he was on fire ripping teams apart setting up Robbie Keane left right and centre.
Don't know what it is about Ibrox and McGeady but hes been pish everytime hes played there and considering McGeady is basically our best player if McGeady has an off day Celtic as a whole have an off day.

please don't take this the wrong way as I am a Celtic supporter but McGeady lacks a lot of courage in his game and possibly in himself same with O'Shea for that matter. McGeady again fails to shine in an Old Firm match and in 99% of his International games. Yes he would have been singled out for special treatment by Rangers yesterday but McGeady should be hard enough by now and rise above it. Keane had a shocker and I think he let himself be intimidated also.
