Well, it's not Sinker.

 

This was said about the guy sitting there after the Champions League semi final in Turin against Juventus...

 

Keane's performance against Juventus garnered perhaps the highest praise of a player ever offered by Fergie. "It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field," he said. "Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him. I felt such an honor to be associated with such a player."

 

In keeping with the combative nature that has helped create his complicated legacy at Manchester United, Keane claimed he found the praise insulting: "It was like praising the postman for delivering his letters." Still, even if it was less sensational than Giggs' goal against Arsenal, or less memorable than United's finish in the final, most United fans remember Keane's night in Turin as the greatest individual performance during the Ferguson era. Today, you can watch footage of the United locker room after they had finally overcome Juventus. As the team celebrates, the camera finds Keane sitting alone, exhausted from his effort and subdued. At the most critical juncture, Keane had put in a captain's shift, setting the table for his team to reach its ultimate goal. He should have been ecstatic. He might have been. It was always hard to tell.

Ireland got smoked.  they need to establish a good development system.  instead they're too busy drinking all the time.

First two sentences true. Last one came directly out of your arse.

 

You can't score by passing the ball backwards or even sideways. Ireland simply doesn't have good enough players. Their only world class player, Seamus Coleman, was out with a broken leg. More of their passes went to Denmark than to an Irish player. They score 1 and then think they're defending the Alamo. I can't wait to hear what Roy Keane has to say.
