My puntsworth!

I think Roy Keane is an arrogant prat and disruptor full of his own exaggerated importance. It all reminds me of the Cantona fiasco and the fact he wasn't selected for France for similar reasons.

It speaks volumes that the rest of the squad don't want him back and I think they will make a superhuman effort to prove they can play without him. Probably it's the best thing to have happened to unite the team.

Good riddance to him and I'll be cheering the boys on win or lose and I'm sure they'll provide a good account of themselves.

I quite agree with Bullfrog Jones..one just has to look at David Beckham and how he has matured into a superb role model for all. Mr Keane ought to learn something from his Man U teammate.

(rant off)

Good luck to all the teams involved even though I'll be supporting Ireland. I'm hoping (one can live in hope!) for some truly excellent football and an absence of prima donnas.

All the best,
