He's gone now and won't be back in a hurry, whatever the rights or wrongs of the situation and a think a lot of what has been said is "spin" in any case.

Whatever I might think about Keane's behaviour is irrelevant and he is certainly a fine player. I think, however, it is a credit to the lads in the face of all this publicity and adversity that they performed so well against a good Cameroon team and were unlucky not to snatch victory at the end when Robbie Keane hit the post.

I hope we can now all unite behind the team, whatever our our views in this matter, for the important game against Germany today and their remaining game(s) in the finals.
