And?

Ah for fucks sake.
Great servant to his country and all, but he isn’t fit to tie Brady’s boots.
Brady was the only true elite level player we ever had.

He was in his fuck you gowl

It’s like saying Wayne Rooney was the best England player because of his scoring record. He wouldn’t realistically make the top 10.

Its no surprise a group of accountants think he is the greatest ever, they can only see numbers.

Trap was right.

God bless you Rob. You did the state some service, they know it. No more of that.

Its like Ryan giggs being a great man united player.

Very committed lads. They follow Oman away.

Brady was a better player, without doubt but didn’t do as much for Ireland

You probably think some Cork traitor that ran away when the going got tough was better for Ireland so I wouldn’t take much notice of what you say

Robbie Keane has 46 more goals than the nearest competitor. Just because he has more goals doesn’t mean he’s better but being such a massive outlier does. He’s scored important goals in competitive matches against Germany, France, Italy and Spain and probably a few more I forget

Serbia (Yugoslavia at the time), Netherlands, Macedonia, Iran

In fairness @caoimhaoin has been negatively disposed towards Robbie Keane on here for many years. He knew someone who said he had a bad attitude and was a poor trainer.

You sure you’re not mixing Robbie up with @count_of_monte_crist?

whilst in the same wheelhouse @mac, that was more of an assumption rather than “knowing”…

He played for 17 years, up front.

He was a great servant and a good striker. But he had an awful period too and he also had a questionable attitude on the pitch for a long time.

I can’t be fucked looking but i would like to see how he stacks up goals per game to everyone else both irish and international.

And i was also happy to admit he improced over last few years and definitely seemed to be a positive influence very recently
