Its a retarded point that dismisses the careers of some of the greatest strikers ever in one fell swoop.

Just because someone doesn't agree with you or has a different opinion doesn't make him retarded, welcome to the world of discussion.

Robbie Keane has done more for this country than any other footballer ever has or ever will.
Don't dismiss his achievements.

When he retires we'll miss him hugely.

He may not be retarded. His opinion certainly is.

Robbie, Trap & Rovers would be my choice. Wouldn't be surprised if the dublin footballers won team of the year though

Keanes 7 goals for Ireland this campaign:

2. Russia (Penalty..yawn)
3. Macedonia ( Tap in, nearly killed the keeper in the process)
4. Macedonia ( Hail Mary of a shot, took a deflection and went in somehow)
5. Macedonia ( Latched onto an outrageous mistake from opposing defender, had to score)
6. Estonia ( You guessed it.. another Keane special of late, a tap in)
7. Estonia ( Surely something else, no wait.. another penalty when the game was as good as over)

I'm confident any other striker would have done that, if they had played ahead of Keane thus meaning we wouldn't miss him that much. When is the last time we seen some individual genius from the man? If he spent less time flapping his hands at the ref every time one of our players goes down we'd be better off as well.

Anyway, good night ladies

Thats a bit of an insane point. He's a striker. 90% of the job is actually being in the right place for that chance to fall to you.

Fair play to Robbie for getting nominated, he deserves it. It's a pretty impressive short list. I think one of the golfers will win it and the soccer team will win the team award. Anyone other than Trap getting the manager's award would be a travesty.

Tap-ins shouldn't count, sure everybody knows anticipation and positioning are the two easiest aspects of playing football. It's not like Pippo Inzaghi is actually paid to do his job, is it?

Long - Doyle against Croatia anyone?

We'll mark the corner flags out of the game!

Can Pat Dolan take Duffs place and Mick Wallace go in goal?

[aramush]

If we have any aspirations of not disgracing ourselves at the European Championships, Keane simply cannot start.

Long - Doyle for the win, and less of the smart arseyness

[AgileMyth]

Long still isn't a patch on Robbie. Himself and Doyle together would achieve nothing.

If we have any aspirations of being European champions there are a lot of players we need to replace before Keane. Whelan and Andrews being the first two.

I never understood the Keane bashing to be honest!

Rank	Name	Goals	(Caps)
1	Robbie Keane	53	(114)
2	Niall Quinn	21	(91)
3	Frank Stapleton	20	(71)
4	Don Givens	19	(56)
4	Tony Cascarino	19	(88)
4	John Aldridge	19	(69)
7	Noel Cantwell	14	(36)
8	Gerry Daly	13	(48)
8	Jimmy Dunne	13	(15)
10	Ian Harte	11	(64)

Speaks volumes, absolute legend!
