We would have had a penalty shoot out in Iran but for Robbie Keaneās goal in the first leg.
Roy Keane was back in Cheshire for the second leg having pretended he was injured.[/quote]
take it in stages poundageā¦there wouldnāt have been a playoff if it werenāt for the cork cuntās stand out performances in lansdown againā portugal and the dutchā¦fookin masterful from the cork cuntā¦surely Irelandās greatest ever sportman?..and a fookin no-nonsense timebomb to boot who doesnāt even want our worshipā¦
They would have lost in Amsterdam but for Robbie Keaneās wonderful header. Roy Keaneās performance against Holland at home went into popular folklore because half the countryās obsessed with Manchester United and their devotees bigged him up any time he took a shit. He also creamed Overmars at the start and thatās always referenced too but he wasnāt great in the game and was overshadowed by Matty Holland. He did well to bundle in a goal against Portugal all right - it may have been deflected though. All in all, a bit part player whose best games for Ireland were as an inexperienced kid in 1994.
rui costa pissed on keane that day but if memory serves me correctly it was mattie hollands 2 outtanding performance vs portugal(including 1 wonder goal) & givens wonder performance in Tehran that complemented robbie keanes greatness that got us through
Never did it away from home though unlike his namesakeās performances in Yokohama, Bari, Suwon, Paris, Ibaraki, Amsterdam etc. Roy was a man for some occasions when it suited himself, Robbieās a man for all occasions.
where did the inexperienced kid in '94 you speak of do it so?..i also remmeber him pulling us out of the shit with 2 goals in iceland or finland when every other cunt thought all we had to do was turn upā¦a man for every day was royā¦
Iceland or Finland? Iām talking about big games against major nations. Sure Roy Keane was also excellent in Cyprus once too but it hardly warrants a mention, I didnāt include Robbie scoring the winner there a couple of months back. As I mentioned, his display against Italy in 1994 was probably his best for Ireland. Little else to write home about when it comes to the big occasion.
woodgate said in training keane was a nightmare to mark as heād make a fool of you with his tricksā¦he just couldnāt bring it into the matches when he got the chance unfortunatelyā¦
