View Full Version : McCarthy was Right
Keane was a disgrace last night - not cutting it at international level any more. He was so static yesterday it was frustrating. The good parts are going from his game and he's trying to play like Ronnie Whelan. Keane has had his best games behind him and I know we'd love to see him back to his prime but his passing isn't inventful for the immobile game he plays these days - can't remember his last good game. Consider him written off on the international stage.

Mick knew that Keane best years were behind him and that he would be better off sticking to his principles than caving in in front of his team. Now Keane has been brilliant for Ireland in the past and I'd love to see him back to his best but really we're just fooling ourselves with that! I'd say Keane would be useful as a semi-assistant manager to Kerr, barking out the orders although I don't think Roy's voice is strong enough from the sidelines and it would be more useful in the dressing room.

Yes, because they finished 3rd and 4th. We got knocked out in the last 16. Bit of a difference. We got beaten by a team that has a notoriously bad tournament record and we were lucky to make it to the shoot out. The ref and linesmen repeatedly sodomised the Spaniards in that game.

Girls girls. So the game was for the taking or not?
Have you forgotten our Euro record? Our world cup record? To get out of the group with Cameroon and Germany (finalist) and to go out on penos to Spain is a good World Cup from Rep. of Irelands perspective. Can't you see that? And this without Keane who looked so immobile last night you worried for him.

Oh one average game after a long spell out.
Reid was rotten, kilbane was worse, Robbie Keane was terrible and Carr was woeful = are they all worthless too.
Keane may not be as good as he used to be but his influence over the other players and their performances is unquestionable.
He keeps them on their toes and is better than anything we have in the middle of midfield at the moment.
Who would you suggest ahead of him.
Fuck off you eejit - Ireland needed Keane more than anyone in that World Cup and that Langer MacCarthy cost us our best player as usual with his poor management.
We failed to qualify for Euro2004 caise he was missing cause of dumbass Mick.
He was the sole reason we qualified for the 2002 World Cup.
Kerr's first task as Ireland manager was to get him back for a reason.
I spose you are another of the clowns that celebrated a 2-2 draw with Holland.
It was not a good World Cup - Spain are the greatest underachievers ever and yet we couldn't beat them in extra time with ten men on their side cause Mick didn't realise it.
It was a poor World Cup with dodgy refereeing decisions, corruption and in general a lot of poor soccer.
We got a late equaliser against a very. very average German team and a lucky draw against Cameroon - we beat the Saudis aren't we great.
Poor World Cup, we did ok at best, deffo nothing to celebrate about.
If we had Roy we'd have done a whole lot better.
afeencalleddan
09-09-2004, 05:00 PM
I agree that the game reached a stage where it was ours for the taking after the dodgy refereeing shenannigans but the fact is that Ireland never looked convincing enough to win the game. That's the disappointing thing. We couldn't kill off a team IN THE LAST 16 that has a habit of bottling big games.
Peolple will try and gloss over it by saying things like "look at the calibre of the Spanish players" and "ah sure the lads did their best against a superior nation" but the fact is that it was 11 men against 10 spent men to get to the quarters of the world cup and the 11 blew it yet people still try to say that we shouldn't be disappointed.
There's no doubt Roy can keep these guys on their toes but at this stage, and was seen again last night, he can shout all this from the bench (if he gets voice lessons) or within the dressing room. Its sad that his best days are well behind him - it was like watching Sonia.

That's completely over the top.
I think we all know that his marauding days are long gone and therefore his playing influence is diminished to an extent but you can't judge his comeback by 1 below-par performance having been out for a few weeks. Lets see what he does in the next few qualifiers before we make a judgement on his future.
Are you trying to tell us that Kavanagh would have been a better option from the start last night? Give me a break!

Keane has been injured, suspended, recovering or rested for so many matches last season and before that - that its obvious that no one knows when he last had a good match. That's what I'm judging it on.

Brazil played Germany in the final.
For the record, Turkey had been one of the best teams in Europe in the prededing three years, many players at top Serie A and La Liga sides, galatasarays's success, etc.

I don't quite see your point there now.... are you saying that Spain were lucky against us, and then very unlucky against South Korea? Well that's the essence of football- luck has a tendency to even itself out. We were lucky to get a draw against Cameroon, and even luckier that they missed a hatful of sitters against Saudi & Germany- and funnily enough, if they hadn't then we wouldn't be bleating on about 'moral victories' against Spain.
If Keane is the best we have (IMHO, he's a sub for the last 20 minutes of the game when its slowed down) our best chance is to blood the 17 and 18 y/o youngsters this campaign and prepare in earnest for Euro 2008.

Which sport do you play? Please tell me its not a team sport, because if it is you've managed to go for years without understanding how a team works. No one on the sideline can have an influence as strong as a leader on the pitch.
The worst you could say about Keane is that he was too optimistic about how quickly he could come back from his injury. On a few occasions over the years he's healed incredibly quickly, but it seemed obvious to me that his movement was restricted. I've never seen him caught in possesion or out people under pressure with his passing so many times. He had particular trouble turning quickly to either track someone back or protect the ball at his feet.
I think he feels he needs to make up to the country for what happened, desperately wanted to play and rushed back before he was really ready.

Does anyone know if we have two 17/18 year old midfielders who, at the age of 19/20, will be good enough to get Ireland through the Euro 2008 qualifiers?
Or should we also use those qualifiers to continue to blood said yougsters, thus being able to make a real run at the 2010 world cup qualifiers. Although they'd still only be 21/22 at the start of those series of games (in Sept 2008), so maybe we should look at Euro 2012 as a realistic aim.
I'm really looking forward to September 2010, when our highly experienced 23/24 year old pairing will take the world by storm and get us to the 2012 euro championships.

Keane is on his last legs and no doubt he'll miss the big matches again through injury... and some young bucko will have to take his place.

So he was right then.
Keane was right.... about eveything! :)
Keane should have allowed him more slack, now he knows.

He was writing of Keane for years before that, when he was still winning titles, not when he was hitting his mid-30's

At the moment in managerial terms Keane v McCarthy isn't exactly Busby v Shankly

If Ferguson had bought Ballack a few years ago, Milan would've been swept aside... instead we had Keane (weaklink) doing his best to scarper around but it's Sonia-esque at this stage.
Is this perennial nearly man Ballack, who generally comes second at best?
PS
where are Milan now

A bit harsh
But not too far away from the truth the likes of Ronaldinho are just counting the cash it's been some step down from being Europes finest
Milan haven't mattered even in a poor Serie A for a few seasons
They've been a mere cup team for a good bit now
The great Milan teams of the past would never sacrifice the league just for the Euro lottery

Remember that time Milan beat United but didn't do great in their domestic league Stevie? Tell us about that again.

United won the league
Fergie sends out teams to at least try and win both every year
and his teams generally come first or second domestically, even if their overall record in Europe could be better
Coming 4th would not do at all
That Milan team that beat a United with half a defence in 2007 will not be remembered as a top European team
the 2005 bottlers were probably better overall

McCarthy is starting to rival Keane for comedy press conferences!
Asked if he had sympathy for the Spaniard (Benitez), McCarthy was typically forthright, saying: ‘I can’t remember receiving any sympathy from too many people.
‘Sympathy is listed somewhere in the dictionary between s**t and syphilis. I don’t give any out'
