I wasn't suggesting we don't play Keane. Its not 1 or the other.

I took him up wrong as well.
I think that playing Hoolahan in behind Keane as a lone striker has merit simply because the weakness of Keane in that role is supplemented by the sbilities of Hoolahan
With McCarthy behind him to screen and McClean, McGeady on the wings and Green has the harrasser in chief then I think we could do okay.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Agreed with Bonnie, until you get to the name Green...
Though I realise the alternatives are Whelan or Gibson, either undesirable or unlikely.
And would have Brady on the right.
There's no choice for that role but Green. Well, no realistic choice.

Don't forget Canada.
How could we with Stu's girl Alanis getting the crowd revved up like this?

I would say Robbie benefits from playing with Hoolahan their styles complement each other.
I think he has scored only 1 goal in his previous 11 internationals but has scored
4 whilst Hoolahan and himself has been on the pitch. together.
I think that stat is correct anyway. You could perhaps put that down to coincidence but Robbie is
not very tall and really likes the ball on the ground, he not favourite to get to crosses and long balls.
You are getting away from your narrative here, I suspect you are under the influence Tricky. You never set out to dismiss Robbie as you have been.
What is up with this lately?
PS you usually love long balls.

Well I have not been to enamoured about Robbie prior to the last two games, I mean 1 goal in what 10 games is
hardly setting the world alight. OK maybe not the greatest of opposition for his recent goals, but I think having a midfield
that can play the ball on the ground, and in the midfield as opposed to in front of the defence is more suited to his game.
Before we have been relying on by passing the midfield and hitting long balls or in Traps case punching them.
Be a bigger test v Spain but then Hoolahan is not playing, indeed a much changed set-up, we may well struggle but we shall see!!
Another 'pro-Keane' view here...

Thought you'd mislinked to a book review for a sec there.
At least he didn't start banging on about Admiral Nelson this time.
Ken does like to do random and left field....

Robbie giving me a bit of hope by talking up some of our younger players.
"If God had meant football to be played in the air, he'd have put grass in the sky." Brian Clough.
You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Now, that's a template example of a cringeworthy egocentric article.
He finally get's over himself re his appreciation of Keane, but not appreciating Robbie for all those 15 previous years, was all Robbie's fault because he was 'wasteful', 'selfish' and 'maddeningly inconsistent'. Not just content with that, he speaks for all fans, 'we all moaned'.
And finally Robbie stepped out of that mire to glow for a couple of games.
My only fear now would be that Robbie might retire, if he hears that he has finally won Ken over.

Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
