When we replace Adam and Downing with Xavi and Iniesta.
We just don't have the right players to play that way. Sorry, for now.
WE'LL SEE, if he manages to get the right players in.

McCarthy did it himself? Fair play to him!
Yes, as a player McCarthy qualified. Keane never did.
When 88?
Yep, and he didn't walk out on his manager, team and country then either.
There was also an element that supported Keane over McCarthy because in the two way struggle Mick was perceived as English against Roy's Irish.
These were usually the bandwagon jumpers who supported us when we made it to a finals and had fuck all interested in us otherwise
For what its worth my opinion of Keane then, (and it hasnt changed), was that he was a cunt of the highest order who walked out on his team mates, his manager, his supporters and his country.
Mine too Jack.
I agree.
All of them. Sadly the team didnt get there.
He can have valid points, but the timing and behaviour is idiotic. There are forums and times to discuss the FAI setup, and it is not being Capt and walk out during a champioship. If Zlatan today left the squad and made a big scene, you wouldn't care if he had valid points or not.
He probably did. If you look at a lot of Uniteds players they have a disproportionate lack of caps in comparison with how long their careers lasted.
There are exceptions of course (Beckham, Ronaldo) but usually players who ended up falling out with Fergie and getting bombed out. I think he perhaps pressures players to not play for their countries.
Just an opinion mind you.
I've also heard united fans saying that Beckham didn't play as well for united as what he did for England, so you could be onto something there.
That's true. It was wrong of him to leave the squad but I thought he got kicked out.
He obviously hasn't read this book:

I have a Man U supporting older brother.
Seriously, at the time I thought Keane got kicked out, considering that he called him a wanker etc.
I interpreted him leaving the squad, as him being told to leave by McCarthy. But if he left on his own accord, it changes everything except that he had valid points. He shouldn't have left though.
Keane may have had valid points in Saipan, but they way he went about it stank. He acted like a spoilt teenager. He had a duty as a player to represent his country at international level, and he acted the cunt, and fucked up.
Unfortunately, he still acts the cunt. I always respected him as a player, even when he played for United, but has a person he's just a complete cretin.

He was going to fuck off and then was convinced to stay. Then I think he gave a newspaper an interview condemning the whole Irish camp and was then rightly fucked out. He was and still is a prick of highest order. He let the country down. We probably would have reached the semis had he stayed.
You dun goof'd.
