LongTimeLurker Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Interesting choice of picture on the BBC website for this story: given the prevailing attitude towards wearing poppies amongst Irish republicans and their fellow travellers in mainland Britain. Would have been amazed if MON hadn't got the job as manager, but the Roy Keane as assistant thing is quite interesting. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer?

Supras Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Does anyone seriously doubt this will be anything but an utter catastrophe? Fair play for the optimism if you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast_Tim Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Interesting combo. Surprised at the FAI taking Keane on after he walked out on us in 2002. Another manager who's teams play shite football. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast_Tim Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Scotland 35th. South Ireland 60th. Rankings also have Switzerland, Columbia and England above Brazil. Not completely accurate IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast_Tim Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 It makes perfect sense. The most northerly county in Ireland is in the free state. You are just showing yourself up as a total idiot tbf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The most northerly county in Ireland is in the free state. You are just showing yourself up as a total idiot tbf. Southern Ireland and the failed statelet are the terms used on here for both the teams across the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 the failed statelet I find 'The Occupied 6' equally good at getting a bite. Apparently Éire is similarly good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 There is no country called Southern Ireland but then neither under international law is there one called Scotland so I can see why you might get confused I think you've missed the point buddy.

LongTimeLurker Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Why has keane agreed to this he fucking despises southern ireland hopefully he loses it and batters lesbian puss. Legend has it Roy Keane asked Aiden McGeady what he was doing in the RoI dressing room with the implication being that he isn't really Irish and should have played for Scotland and the fallout from that led to a huge row prior to Keane's debut for Celtic against Clyde. Keane is a complete loose cannon. I'd give it about two defeats in a row before be would be having a go at Martin O'Neill for having an OBE or something along those lines if he wasn't part of the RoI management team and under an effective gag order.

George Parr Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 On his own I reckon O'Neil could do a decent job for ROI. Really don't see the need for Keane to be involved though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denltfc Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Well the Latvia game was looking like a 10-15k game and now tickets selling fast for it so the FAI will recoup some of the investment quickly. It will either work well or it wont and O'Neills job is easier with the 2016 Euros expanded to 24 and if Romania dont win both play off legs we will be second seeds. Which should be a lift even if there is not a lot between teams in pot 2 or 3 After Trappatoni there is a buzz about today so maybe that's half the battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMjag Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Of course they're not but it's hardly surprising on this forum. Most quotes seem to come from the Stuart Cosgrove book of p**h. It does surprise me when Celtic fans mock Ireland though unless......... they're not Celtic fans Hi, Seamus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaldo Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I can see there being a "bounce" effect from this appointment. They'll probably win their first 2-3 friendlies but then I can see it going belly-up at the start of the next set of qualifiers. I hope we draw them for Euro 2016.
