13 in a career that started in 1991 not bad for a player in his position

"I have absolutely no clue of what you speak"

It's about the Mick McCarthy vs Roy Keane quarrel in the training camp for the 2002 World Cup. Ultimately Keane was sent home/left the camp.

I reckon it's a similar trauma for the Irish society as Southgate's missed penalty against Germany for the English in 96.

I agree legend all the way but there was a little more at stake in this instance at the time I think we would have went to the final that year

It's really hard to say how it would have gone with Keane still there.

Yes throw him into the Spain game in isolation and they might have won it.

But him staying would have changed the whole dynamic of the group.

He was obviously in spiky form so they could have been at each others throats whereas you get the impression when he left they all came together a little bit more.

As for if he was right or wrong the cause was right the timing was way way off though once he was there he should have just made the best of it and then fought for improvement after

Saipan?

I don't suppose you are talking about the Japan vs USA battle, which ended up with one of the first mass scale suicide attacks?
