Roy Keane said managing the Republic of Ireland would "appeal" to him as the former Manchester United captain spoke about possibly returning to management.
The Republic are in the process of finding a new boss following Stephen Kenny's exit in November.

Keane, 52, was part of Martin O'Neill's Republic coaching team between 2013 and 2018.
"International football, I enjoyed it when I was a coach," Keane said on the Stick to Football
YouTube show.
"I liked the dynamics of it where you're not in every day and it's not about bringing players in and dealing with the board every week or the academy. Yeah, that [international football] does appeal."
Keane, who has not managed since leaving Ipswich in 2011, added: "I did enjoy the dynamics when I was coaching with Martin with the Irish team.
"We had a little bit of success and when you've had a bit of success then it's brilliant, but obviously there are disappointments.
"So yeah, that could be an option." ...

But if the data in production is incorrect then the only way to correct that is to "fix" it in production.

"Iranian state media, quoting the navy, said the seizure was in retaliation for the ship and oil it had aboard being confiscated by the US last year. "

They were "fixing" bugs on live systems and in doing so messing up the figures but were telling the sub post masters that no one else had access to their terminals.

Quote from: seafoid on January 03, 2024, 05:34:09 PMIf Liverpool win this year or in the next decade  they will catch up with Man Utd on the Roll of Honour. Another win and they would knock Man Utd off their f*****g perch (copyright A Ferguson).The likelihood of Man Utd fighting back is homeopathic.
Liverpool are ahead of Man Utd in the Roll of Honour

6 + 19 > 3 + 20

This was entirely speculation by the Irish government, there was never any thought by the British government of a unilateral withdrawal.

What a mess...

Jay Monahan is one of the stupidest people on the planet. How he allowed this to happen is beyond me. He should be the next strategist for the DUP.
How can he stop it, they are offering crazy amounts of money.

From 2008 through 2010 all 9 counties competed in a highly seeded competition. In 2011 Cavan dropped out and in 2012 it was back to only the stronger counties.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 22, 2023, 11:21:50 AMDoes anyone still have house phone? Ours broke down about 10 years ago, we haven't replaced it
We ported our land line number to Google Voice, don't think that is available outside the US. This meant we kept the old number which we attached to an old cell phone with no SIM card that is on wifi at home. We still get the occasional call, mostly junk, except for some calls from the NYC schools system which still has the number for our kids.
