Huge difference between Kenny and Kerr imho
Kenny’s coaching is the future, reliant on young players expressing themselves and having a go. Just look at his Derry and Dundalk teams for how they played.
Kenny at least deserves a go, rather than whatever has-been Denis O'Brien's money can bring in.

Most Roy Keane story ever
fecking hell, I've seen Stephen Ward around Hale village a few times, he better hope he doesn't bump into Roy anytime soon.
As for Jonathan Walters, he wouldn't be scared of Roy if you ask me, he's a right nasty bastard.

This doesn't sound like the Keane we all know and love.
Yea, imagine you are at work and some fellow worker you have never had a problem came up to you and called you a "fecking prick." out of the blue. You would be flabbergasted. You would be laughing your head off.It is hilarious. Even if Harry Arter isn't a prick
I have to listen to this again. Nearly hope it is true because it is hilarious thinking of it.
"When are you going to train, you fecking prick."
Classic Keano.

I think Royston could benefit from a bit of counselling.
We've had our golden generation in the late 90s
A nation of 4 million ffs
Surely everyone knows how corrupt and inept the FAI must be
They've been on the ball about signing up young players with Irish heritage right? Like Declan Rice and that Villa kid
Incredible some of the miserable responses from people in this thread

If the whole thing is true, honestly, what did Keano try to achieve there by going to a player, asking him when he's going to train and calling him cnuts and pricks? I mean what's the point?
I'm taking a wild stab in the dark here but probably to find out when he was going to train?
You mean ones who have never lived in Ireland all their lives, have no Irish accent, just because they may have had an obscure granddad or grandmother. In that case it makes me Irish. No wonder International Football is such a joke.We've had our golden generation in the late 90s

How is a grandad or grandmother obscure? Ffs
Doesn't make them Irish how ever you like to put it.How is a grandad or grandmother obscure? Ffs
Whatever you say.
Yeah, it just causes arguments and falling outs however in Roys mind, he probably thought they were a bit soft and needed the proverbial kick up the ass. It probably would’ve worked with a young Darren Fletcher though.
Anyways, who would the forum be backing if Keano & Walters came to blows?
I'm sure your grandparents would be delighted to see how little importance you attach to their position in the family and to the possibility that their history could have any significance to you or your siblings.
Well fair play. That's a great goal. O'Dowda has been excellent so far second half.
Yea Guardiola also got played off the park by Georgia and Moldova. fecking moron. Shit straw mans to defend him like always. There is a large in between from Guardiola to setting up a team of PL players to get played off the park and make an MLS player look like Messi. There is also a large in between possession football and thr absolute dog shit he serves up. But sure stick with your straw man rhetoric that the only option is Guardiola. We'll be embarrassed in a couple month when the north play us off the park.
Why is it only ever the players who'd get nowhere near the England team that suddenly feel "Irish" when they're 26?
Why don't you ask them?
No need, I already know the answer. Wales are the worst for it anyway.
Except for it literally makes them Irish citizens.
Ok.
Why?
As in they take more English born players than Ireland do.
So it only matters once they're 26? It's blatantly obvious that players who either think they wont make the England team in the future or already know they wont, switch to another of the home nations. Often after numerous appearances at youth level for England.
I don't know why it matters.... you said it?
"Why is it only ever the players who'd get nowhere near the England team that suddenly feel "Irish" when they're 26?"
"Wales are the worst for it anyway."
Scintillating stuff, lads. Anyone watch the game?
Nah, any good? Did Poland deserve the draw?
Ah they probably did. Just nice to get back to 11 lads bursting themselves and being dour and hard to beat. Who knew you could miss that? O'Dowda did well, always looking forward, you could see the goal meant a lot to O'Brien. Pity they managed to equalise.
Wonder if Keane's rant had an (unintended) effect on them?
I don't like losing but I'm always "ok" if the players of my club/country put the effort in.
I'm sure it had no impact whatsoever. Most of those lads just delighted to pull on the jersey.
We were just fortunate that Poland were terrible.
Handing out debuts to 30 year old cloggers while we've got Inter's youth captain not even making our youth teams sums up our whole set-up. Apparently didn't "suit the style of play." Its a joke.
