ya know, if ireland had've scored one more goal henry's handball would've been meaningless. ireland had about 20 minutes after henry's handball to score and they couldn't. not good enough. yeah its hard to take, but keane's right.

@sugarpuffsandwich There are only 4 million people in Ireland a tiny percentage of those are professional footballers. The Eircom League hasn't got good enough players to make the national team, where France has big clubs like Lyon and Bordeaux in the Champions League. It's not fair for Keane to put the boot in like that, especially when he fucked off when we needed him most at the World Cup. Arsehole.

@TroyDouglas917 He fucked up because he was making a stand, The FAI werent treating the players properly, he aitn an arsehole, he's he best irish soccer player there ever was, Go insult him when you do something in your life worth bragging about

[TroyDouglas917]

@kilkennygeoff In Saipan, I did agree with a lot of what Keane was saying about the FAI's preparations, but I didn't agree with the way he said it. It was so aggressive, nasty and personal, that nobody would have gone along with him. Besides, it's too late to protest at the World Cup when you've got important games to play, all he did was upset the team and get stupidly thrown out on his ear.

HE IS RIGHT

[TroyDouglas917]

@nictruf Ireland has a tiny pool of players to choose from, so for Roy Keane to put down the team for not being good enough is unfair. Trapattoni is doing a good job with extremely limited resources.

Looks like Roy Keane has turned into a Hun! What a fucken traitor to Ireland. Stay in England, you twat. He would get a good kickin' if he was to ever set foot in Ireland again, and it wouldn't be on match of the day!

I actually agree 100% with Keane. Im an Irishman from Dublin and the fact is France where there for the taking and we bottled it... We had plenty of chances to win the game before extra time anyway. Damian Duff missed a 1 on 1 in the second half. Yes Henry's handball was unsporting and an act of cheating but that shouldn't of mattered as if Ireland had of put away the chances we would of already been 2 or 3-1 up. Im sick of the excuses being made 4 our failure to beat a poor team like France

[LarryFogarty]

[padraig29]

What fucking asshole Roy Keane is. He'd be singing different tune if it was his team. Shithead, fucking no backbone ran away from a world cup because they didn't bring his favorite jammys!!! Fucking asshole. He is as bad as Tick Henry. Just two of the blood suckers that are killing the game. I should say killed the game.

@philtrationunit yh thats what im saying ireland played great and deserved to win....and they should of won the game..........but even so you are right about roy keane........sometimes he can be miserable......nasty and bitter.......but you have to admit........at the end of the day he does tell the truth.......he speaks his mind........i mean i kno irelands his country but its the truth man lool........

[philtrationunit]

@kc270352 mabe we did have chances but i thought we played great and deserverd to win and so did alot of other people.. but thats not the point im makin, im merely pointin out that keane is irish and should be supporting his former teammates & country but instead he takes every opportunity he gets to bash & slate the ireland team.. after seein how devasted all the players were and the country he shouldn't be comin out wit shit like this.. i say it again that he's a nasty, bitter, sad little man.

[kc270352]

@philtrationunit yes i did see the match actually.......and his right.........ireland should of won the match there and then........ireland had so many chances to win the match.....and they wasted them........it was a weak france team as well lool........and for that they got punished.......simply as that.............

[philtrationunit]

@kc270352 oh c'mon are u for real? u honestly think that this tripe spewed from roy keanes mouth is the truth? did u even see the match?
