Duff gave a few similar performances at the WC as well. i don’t think he ever really got the credit he deserved for them, he was utterly immense over that 12 months or so in an Ireland jeresy

And how did they do against Russia and Switzerland the following Autumn with McCarthy in charge and Keane absent?

Nembo_Kid · September 18, 2015, 1:59pm

How did they do when Queen returned under Brian Kerr?

croppy_boy · September 18, 2015, 2:02pm

Wow. I didn’t think you back out of that argument so easily.

You’re getting soft.

Big_Dan_Campbell · September 18, 2015, 2:02pm

In fairness Mick McCarthy was pretty much driven out of the Irish job by the Queen backers at the time as the split in the fans had set in, we were rather unlucky that we got caught with that sucker punch goal by the Swiss when trying to win the game when in hindsight we probably should have taken the point. Thankfully in the fullness of time those who foolishly backed Queen over Saipan have seen the error of their ways and rowed back in their criticism of McCarthy and realised that Queen was nothing more than a load mouth you got pucked around the place by Gary Breen’s mate

Keane was nothing more than a journeyman footballer who got lucky. He is the equivalent of Don Hutchinson / Glenn Whelan

croppy_boy · September 18, 2015, 2:13pm

Unfair.

He did very well for Spurs.

Fran · September 18, 2015, 2:31pm

Oh how we’ve missed you

Nembo_Kid · September 18, 2015, 2:32pm

I clamped you.

croppy_boy · September 18, 2015, 2:43pm

You have clamped fuck all.

Answer the question you were asked how did they do against Russia and Switzerland the following Autumn with McCarthy in charge and Keane absent?

croppy_boy · September 18, 2015, 2:44pm

Thanks hon.

Nembo_Kid · September 18, 2015, 2:47pm

The point you are making is defunct as Queen returned to an Irish jersey and failed.

croppy_boy · September 18, 2015, 2:51pm

No dude. You said that Ireland succeeded under McCarthy without Keane.

They did not.

Nembo_Kid · September 18, 2015, 2:54pm

Last 16 of a World Cup.

Queen under 3 different managers never qualified for a European Championship.

caoimhaoin · September 18, 2015, 2:57pm

Wow this is sad

croppy_boy · September 18, 2015, 3:06pm

I used to ‘kind of’ respect @Nembo_Kid for blindly sticking to his guns but now he’s not even willing to keep defending his original stance.

I think running away from defending Mayweather’s use of prohibited IVs last week has taken the good out of him.

Nembo_Kid · September 18, 2015, 3:18pm

You made defunct points and are now arguing in the face of facts. You are a holocaust denier.

myboyblue · September 18, 2015, 3:19pm

Tragic even

croppy_boy · September 18, 2015, 3:25pm

I asked you to address a fact and you were unable.

Nembo_Kid · September 18, 2015, 3:28pm

I wasn’t unable - I just exposed your defunct point. But you continue to argue in the face of facts.
