Subject: RE: BS: World Cup(Soccer) Irelands nightmare
Guys......a little perspective here !!! What has Keane done ? Did he hit someone ? Was he caught in a brothel ? Was he taking drugs ? No he was not - his only crime was to complain about the preparation of the FAI 1) There were NO balls to train with 2) Their gear had not arrived and they had to train in their clothes !! 3) The pitch was, literally, an old car park - far too hard to train on. As Roy said "this failure to prepare was preparing for failure" Ok - he lost the plot while he was complaing but itwas in NO WAY a sacking offence. God....he was trying to get better facilities for HIS team.

WRT the rest of the team making a superhuman effort.....name one other player fit to lace Roys boots and I will personally fly you to Japan for the finals!

Go Cameroon !!!
