QuoteOk then its all our fault.
Yeah we shoudl all agree that Keane never talks ****e and is always right and even when he is wrong he is just being sarcastic.

Ok then its all our fault.
Keane is a true genious and he is not wrong in what he says, we all know that stauntan hasnt a clue, come on we played bad in san mariono because it was just after christhmas omg what a joke. miller should be in the squad before gibson and kilbane. kilbane has been around the squad for years but in all fairness he is not a player who will excite fans in all fairness. as regards connoly i dont think he will ever play up front for ireland ever again.
also am i the only person who thinks that darryl murphy would be a great target man, he is a physcal player whoo is well able work the ball with his feet.
aswell with keano once a legend always a legend.
if the f.a.i sort themselves keane will take the reigns
cum on the blues

What are you, Maurice Keane himself? Come off it! Steve Staunton was also a legend playing for Ireland, what makes Keane any different?
Yes stauntan was a good consistint player, legend you say, you are having a laugh. only a few players have the right to be called legend, Brady,McGrath and Roy Keane to name a few but definatley NOT stauntan.
Also as a manger with his comments he has proven he is an absolute TOOL he is worst than McCatear, How much are we paying him.
Yes He is a sub for sunderland but he is brought on to hit up top when needed.
Does Crouch always start for the pool, or solksjar for man utd would they get on our side yes.
Roy Keane is a true legend and a model for youngsters, fiery and reliable on the field and cool and calm off it,

Roy Keane is a moron and is a disgrace to this country and football in general. Have never had any time for him since he purposefully ended Alf Haaland's career. Keane, scumbag that he is, should never have been allowed back on a football field after admitting to doing that
The knee that Roy hit in that famous tackle was not the knee that gave out to end Haaland's career, it was his other one.
He actually played in an international game for his country a few days after Roy's tackle.
In all fairness you can't compare the Man U or Liverpool bench with Sunderlands. If those two lads were at Sunderland they would both start, except you would not find either at a Championship team.
Lads we are getting away from the issue. I am a fan of Keanes but he is talkilng rubbish in this case. Cork Bias, what about him getting his game. what about Iriwn what about Stephen Ireland. What about all the times Miller was in the squad when he was just warming the bench at Man Utd. He is talking rubbish in this case and I would say its a major case of **** stirring to make things even more uncomfortable for the FAI and Staunton.
This is not about who is a better manager Staunton or Keane, the issue is why is Keane talking such rubbish and saying something that he cannot back up with fact.

Keane is looking after his players, he's trying to send out a message to guys like Miller and David that they've been playing well this season and in his opinion they shouldn't have been ignored. If asked the Q at a press conference he was hardly going to say "if I was the Irish manager not in a million years would I play those 2 etc etc". It's good management plus a nice dig at the FA and Stan.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
Eh he could easily have answered. "Liam and David are playing great and it suprised me that they were not in the squad but thats Steves choice and good luck to him. Just as I would not like him picking my squad I am not going to try to pick another managers squad but the lads are playing well "

Come on Jebus. The injury which ender Haaland's career was to his other leg. Even Haaland has said that. It is hard for me to believe that people who have followed this story since it happened still believe that Keane's tackle was the reason, despite comments to the contrary from various people.
It was a disgraceful tackle, but not a career-ending tackle.
Would you say the same thing if Staunton was saying it was a disgrace that an Irish player didnt start at the weekend?
Keane has every right to make his comments, we have every right to comment on them.
Well I don't think Keane would drop two of his most in form players in a club game so it would never happen!
All club managers look after their own - Fergie always sticks up for Ronaldo (quite rightly too) and I don't see the problem in it personally. Keano is spot on with the Don Given/Connolly situation, maybe he could have kept quiet but that isn't who he is. We know he is an outspoken character and that will always be the case. If Stan is so upset about the comments he should tell Roy to keep his nose out of his business but that would mean stringing a sentence together.

I think he has every right to comment on the Irish team seeing as he is an Irishman and its as much his team as anyone elses. The comment about connolly and miller is fair enough as none of our strikers are setting the world on fire and nobody has nailed down any of the midfield slots on the basis of their performances in the last few games. I dont know where he is coming from with the Cork comment but cant imagine someone at the press conferance didnt ask him to clarify what he meant. If he heaps pressure on Staunton so what? The only way to alleviate any pressure and answer the critics is to get some good results. That is entirely in Stauntons hands and based on what we have seen so far beyond his limited capabilities.
As I said above he could have stuck up for his players without bringing in a stupid comment about an anti Cork bias. Delusional.

Honestly, hands in air didn't know that Haaland played an international a few days after being chopped down by Keane, or that he came out and said his retirement it wasn't anything to do with the Keane incident. Apologies
Still think Keane is an idiot for going after him in the first place though, and for talking ****e about his pride at the time, so hence I still don't agree with lionelhutz's comment
He's still having a go.
He explained: 'There's a fine line between loyalty and stupidity. A very fine line. You've got to be loyal to lads who've done okay, but once you keep playing them on the reputation they've built up through the media or because they do lots of interviews, then it's wrong - it's 100% wrong.Keane berated the team for celebrating after beating San Marino and advised them to take a lesson from Ireland's other national sports sides following their recent successes.
'The FAI, the soccer, can learn a lot from the rugby lads, even the cricket lads. If you go into something believing you're going to get there, then there's a good chance you'll get there,' he said.
'If you think you're not going to get there I guarantee you won't get there. And that definitely comes from the top, the FAI.On the FAI, he added: 'If you're used to mediocre, that will get through to the players. A "that'll do" attitude has been going on far too long. That'll do the Irish fans. That'll do us. But I think the Irish fans are getting a bit fed up with it.'
Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.
the mans a complete genius, what he said bout the f.a.i is spot on. everybody is on here complaining everybody is fed up with the ****e were watching.
