FAI...June 2024 Friendlies v Hungary and Portugal

[Croí na hÉireann]

From the report I heard Keane and this fella have history so there's probably more to it.

Your man has written (presumably critical) about Keane before and is the son-in-law of a well known entertainer. Any clues as to identity?

Oh God, I hope it's Ewan McKenna!

Janey, this will set the cat loose among the pigeon in the English FA.

He's based in Brazil these days

[AZOffaly]

You make it sound like Roy couldn't hunt him down What's he doing in Brazil? A book about soccer? He does seem fairly knowledgeable about Brazil, although mind you I'm not so he could be a complete bluffer. On other topics where I have some knowledge he has made some crazy statements in the past.

Married to a Brazilian and was over there for the World Cup. Not sure how he continues to write based over there though. Yeah, he doesn't like to sit on the fence alright, it's either black or white. What crazy statements are you referring to?

[AZOffaly]

Ara loads of them. Basically anything he writes that is designed to just make people choke on their cornflakes.

I see McCarthy and Whelan have been sent home for treatment to their clubs.
I was kinda looking forward to 4 Everton players lining out with Coleman, Gibson, McCarthy and McGeady
When the last time Ireland had 4 starting players from the one team?

I won't be surprised to see McGeady score in this game. He'll be well up for it to silence the boo boys and he's been playing well the last few games for us Toffees.

What's Keogh like at centre half?

McCarthy a big loss as he is playing well for Everton.

"Fifa's independent ethics adjudicator was responsible for drawing up the report"....Id say there will not be too many people believe this rubbish. Rotten to the core, and greedy beyond belief.

Oldest trick in the book. All the fuss over Keane. Takes the pressure off the team. 3rd game in a row. Genius
