@paulmacc_ @KyleHoulihan1 @JohnDugganSport 100%. Mick McCarthy didn’t even go there in advance to check the facilities. Knowing the FAIs form of being shit he should’ve known better. Saipan is also a 4 hour flight from Japan. No sense. Spain were on an island just off South Korea.

@Craigod3 @KyleHoulihan1 @JohnDugganSport It’s not just about footballs and pitches, it’s about standards. The FAI and management couldn’t even get the basics right before the World Cup and Mick McCarthy would have known this. Keane shouldn’t have to demand the basics ffs. Keane was right to fuck him out of it.

@KyleHoulihan1 @JohnDugganSport The pitch was a disgrace as well. Damien Duff is on record as saying he was naive at the time and should’ve been more annoyed about the setup. It is also a known fact that players came to Keane privately to say he was right

@Craigod3 @JohnDugganSport Do you think Keane was actually the only one annoyed about the footballs? Always waffling about do your job and he couldn’t even do his for a month in Saipan

@FrankCoffey26 @robggill The families may have been here for centuries but they probably came for nefarious reasons and if they still don’t consider themselves Irish after all those centuries why are they here? Go be British in Britain.

@Craigod3 @robggill Yeah people whose families have lived here for centuries. Nothing stopping the tricolour still being around. I don't see how it could be the flag of a united Ireland though, and I'd love to see that in my lifetime.

@FrankCoffey26 @robggill I don’t believe in pandering to the minority. The flag is the flag. The anthem is the anthem. If someone considers themselves British and doesn’t like it then they can get the first flight to Britain.

@Craigod3 @robggill Well that's the way to a united Ireland ... do what we say .. stuff your identity, hardly a vision for a pluralist society.

@FrankCoffey26 @robggill And as regards the flag it shouldn’t be changed. You’re either in or you’re out. Similar to the Olympics, the athletes are from the 32 counties. They use the tricolour and Amhran na bhfiann. If they don’t like it they don’t have to represent Ireland

@Craigod3 @robggill I didn't make the rules for eligibility, residential etc. so take that up with someone else. Clearly tricolour is not a flag Unionists are going to feel an affinity to, despite its underpinning meaning being perfect. God Save the King is not an Irish anthem.

@FrankCoffey26 @robggill But if they’re not Irish how can they represent Ireland? If a game was played in Belfast God Save the King would have to be played. That is the official anthem of NI and if it’s about being inclusive then it would have to be played. If not then it’s double standards.

@FrankCoffey26 @robggill Is New Zealand a county? Gibson park and Lowe are from there. Why would they need to reinvent the flag when the orange is there to represent the Protestant minority on the island. If they played in Belfast they’d have to play god save the king too. If not it’s double standards

@Craigod3 @robggill It's all of Ireland, not just 26 of the counties. They clearly have to have a connection. Whether you agree with the eligibility rules or not (I didn't make them) .. it's still an Irish team representing the country.

@FrankCoffey26 @robggill How? The best players aren’t even Irish and have no connection to the country. No Irish heritage. Keeping proper Irish players out of the team

@ImGlenAgain @robggill Away from home they don’t. Their official anthem is that dopey song. If they were to play in Belfast they’d have to play God Save the King like they play Amhran na bhfiann in Dublin, if they don’t it’s double standards and makes a mockery of saying it’s a 32 county team.

@lorcyoz @ConanDoherty Sure he was sent home. A football team went to a training camp without football. Make it make sense

@lorcyoz @ConanDoherty Sure the other players were happy to go on the piss too. Damien Duff is on record as saying he was naive at the time and should’ve expected better.

@lorcyoz @ConanDoherty That’s true I suppose. They went to Saipan to go on the piss while the other teams were training for the World Cup. Mick McCarthy is on record as saying his biggest regret of his career is the state of the pitch in Saipan. Roy was right

@ConanDoherty Keane was a great footballer and captain for both United and Ireland but his petulant and self righteousness let Ireland down when the country needed him most. Probably could have gotten to semi final or final with him.
