Bring back Keane says McAteer ????

peeve

Personally speaking I would play with Roy Keane again," said McAteer. "After all that's gone on between me and Roy, I actually do like Roy and I think he's all right.

This is the guy that mocked keane and his book? Then keane elbowed him. What about the bob the builder cd???

Hello???

Congoose

I'm surprised at that. I wonder if he's just trying to get public approval?

TwoShedsJackson

Even by footballer standards McAteer is totally thick. Talk about a transparent attempt to go which ever way the wind is blowing - while McCarthy's in charge, support him and slag Keane, now McCarthy's gone he suddenly says 'oh yeah I actually like him and stuff'.

What a muppet. More likely he knows that if Keane comes back, and if the new manager has any sense, he won't listen to any $hite from the likes of McAteer, and in a toss up between Keane and McAteer as to who's more important to Ireland, I think we know who'd win that one.

McAteer's outdone himself this time.

yop

He is a totally bitch god, bless him. He is totally afraid of his sh**te and knows he will get the bullet once a good manager comes to manage Ireland

"Trigger Out"....:D

It's just a case of "Please keep me in the team, please, please let me play, please, I'll be your bestmate!"

I wouldn't pay to much attention to what Mc Ateer says, or what he is reported to have said, but I am a bit p*ssed off at Liam Brady. It is a shame to see one of our greatest ever footballers calling for the head of another one of our greatest ever footballers.

yop

Waylander - the auld bitter pill is showing its head again. Brady is a grumpy old man, had a lot of respect for his opinion but now he can go and jump with mccarty

Kulgan

Brady is right.

Anyway Roy keane doesnt want to play for ireland anymore its as simple as that .


He's most likely pissed off that McCarthy is gone as now he has to make up some other reason why he wont be back.

johnnynolegs

oh shut the hell up Kulgan that is possibly one of the stupidest i have ever read on these boards...................

Sposs

Course Mc Ateer is ****ting it,the only manageer in the world that would have played him has left and back comes the physco he pissed off,you nearly feel sorry for trigger...nearly

Kulgan

Looks like Mc Ateer has changed his story again :

Republic of Ireland international Jason McAteer has lashed out at the journalists who he believes stabbed Mick McCarthy in the back. McAteer has said McCarthy should shoulder none of the blame for the whole Roy Keane saga adding that it is Keane himself who must wholly accept the repercussions of his walkout in the summer.


Although McAteer has said he would love for Keane to return to the international set-up, he remains very sympathetic to McCarthy's involvement in the affair. "Roy made the decision to leave the World Cup. Roy is not a fool and he's not a nasty person but he left Mick to pick up the pieces and fight the journalists," explained the Sunderland winger.


"Now they (the journalists) have stabbed him in the back. A lot of journalists didn't want Mick in the first place and he's proved them wrong - what he's achieved is unbelievable," he added.


McAteer has also described McCarthy's sudden exit as a disgrace and claimed the FAI took the easy option by accepting his decision to quit. "It is a great loss and a great shame, and a lot of people want some answers," McAteer told TalkSport's `No Nonsense Sports Breakfast' programme. "It's really disappointing that after losing two games he should get the bullet. It's hard to realise what's going on in the game at the moment."

johnnynolegs

god damn it i hate mcateer so much he is just a complete and utter fool.............

Rolo Tomasi

Yeah I have to agree I never really liked Macca. Ever since those shampoo adds. Oi well wont have to worry about it for much longer coz when the new manager comes in.....

Just think of it no more Gary Breen or Kilbane or those guys who play in midfield cant rememeber seeing those guys for a while actually.
duff on the left. reid on the right and Keane and mcphail in the middle.

jes when you fink of it we have a really sound midfield.

btw wot did Brady say?, I missed it.

johnnynolegs

yeah a very decent midfield and the sooner we get rid of kilbane and the like the better

Here's what Brady Sayed :

Irish footballing legend Liam Brady has told the FAI not to bother trying to make peace with Roy Keane as they search for a new manager. Mick McCarthy's departure has raised hopes among some Irish fans that the Manchester United captain is set to return from his self-imposed international exile and pull on the green shirt for whoever takes the hot-seat.


Brady, however, believes the new manager should not go out of his way to bring Keane back into the Irish fold. He said: "The media has given Roy Keane totally unacceptable power. What's it going to take the next time? Is it going to be the fact that the pasta is not right? I think it's turned into a bad joke."


He continued: "There's a lot of very, very fine players who have played for Ireland and had to put up with some of the things that Roy Keane has had to put up with. And we did because we wanted to play for our country."

Waylander

Think and hope you are way off the mark there Kulgan, but I guess we will see between now and April. Rolo Brady said that the new manager should not bring Roy back into the international squad. He is also saying that the FAI would use the ability to do this as part of the criteria for selecting Micks replacement etc. etc. etc.

Dustaz

TBH, as im not a huge fan of Roy Keane i agree with the gist of what Brady is saying.

Keane is our best player and some sort of effort must be made to get him back in the fold, however the thought of one player holding the fai/irish team to ransom is not a pretty one.

Mountjoy Mugger

As much as I think Keane is a pratt, I am gobsmacked to hear Brady of all people say something like this.

Anyone who was around in the days of Eoin Hand will remember how player power saw the back of Hand.

He's a two faced git!

Waylander

Does hypocrisy know no bounds. Next we will have Jonny Giles calling Roy Keane a thug!!!

BKtje

Speaking of people who might be out. The Indo yesterday gave a list of players likely to fall from grace after the McCarthy era.

I think their journalist reads the boards cos its pretty much every player we have had 'discussions' over

Sposs

I think thats because it was so obvious to everyone except mc carthy how crap they were,aldo the indo mentions Gary Kelly,i think he has done ok and should still be in the squad.
