Dean P Shut up !! We know what they meant !

thanks man :)

Bull shit. What's complaining going to do, make the grass grow on the shitty training pitch. He should have got on with it and complained after the worldcup

@@fixit3108 exactly! And people forget how in Japan training was sharp and intense and the facilities were world-class. Saipan should have been better, but it was just an ACCLIMATISATION trip.

Irishmen cheering an Englishman lol

@@fixit3108 yeah just put up with it? Get out of it

@@karlrush8725 Yes, and your point is ?

👌👌👌👌👌

@Reese Benedict Instablaster ;)

@Donovan Theodore Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Donovan Theodore it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thank you so much you saved my account!

@Reese Benedict Happy to help :)

McCarthy had no knowledge of the game Keane was at the height of his career. Mick should have been nowere near that team kicking Keane was the worst thing they did

Spain was robbed by South Korea, just like Italy

Mick’s idea was to acclimatise but it blew back when they were left on a car park for ball work,then the kit didn’t arrive,it was a perfect storm,everything was coming together to make it a total fxxx up with 2 strong personalities…

@@shanet5604 best place to acclimatise to Japan is Japan... no idea what they were doing messing around in Saipan

Aye they were, but Ireland could have put it up to anyone in that campaign (Portugal, Spain, Germany, Holland). South Korea and Turkey made the semis for god sake

Brazil were completely written off before that tournament, I can't remember exactly why but I remember the media/pundits were playing them right down in the build up... Madness really with the players they had.

Brazil had to cheat to beat Turkey.

fraz6354 that's not the point . If ever there was a chance for a team of minnows like the Republic to get to a final this was it and for a team at this juncture to infight in this way is incredible. They did incredibly well but could have gone through if this regrettable incident had not happened

another prick who throws a comment in and cant reply to jack shit after him comment.Yea brazil are great.Look at them in the last world cup against germany at home.

Bill Young should he..”doh.”

He didn't slate his team mates in that Irish Times article.

Ajmal Ali - Undermined the manager and slated his team-mates on TV.

Tristan Burke - lol, just the manager! He was the captain of the team ffs! You simply cannot do that.

@@blackcats3951 he just slated the facilities. They were training on a car park. They forgot to bring balls. They travelled in a normal plans in normal seats. It was a joke of a set up. He's allowed voice legitimate complaints.

Tristan Burke - and he’s admitted in more recent times that none of those issues were the reason he went home. And that interview he gave before he went home was definitely inappropriate and disrespectful. He’s a massive tosser and an utter, utter hypocrite.

idiotic fool he got them there to be insulted

I like Roy Keane more the more I learn about him. Gunner.

barryispuzzled it’s a Irish disease, many from my family suffer from it, not me though 😁

Because we knocked them out ?

dagnut what more would you want from McCarthy in that moment? Playing 3 up front already at that point and bossing the game?

Ross H I agree Ireland attacked and attacked the whole time !

Since that "clown" left Ireland haven't played a world cup match

@@rohithraman6488 or since Delaney took control.

@@dagnut I get you but Ireland would kill for a world cup knockout stage appearance nowadays

Pissed I would have thought.

I believe they could have won it too. And I'm not Irish.

@@tcsl7764 😂😂😂😂🙈

@@TheBigGoonerAJ maybe not one it but a weak Spain and s Korea to get to a semi final and then anything can happen

It's delusional Dunphy at his best. Even Roy Keane admitted in 2009 on the Late Late Show to Pat Kenny, "let's not kid ourselves about going further"

Soyuz19 Who went home in the group games ???

Bryan B And what does that prove? Zidane was clearly carrying an injury and didn’t play the first two group games. France not progressing at that World Cup had nothing do with him, he barely played. Boy, you stupid.

Soyuz19 So he played one and Keane played none and who got through ?? Don’t move away from your point,at that time,Keane was the best midfielder in the world,absolute top,at the peak of his powers,don’t start insulting people if they pull you up on your comment !!

Bryan B So you’re saying the fact Ireland got through and France didn’t reflects well on Keane despite him NOT being there? LMFAO You honestly can’t be this stupid. Keane was an outstanding player, Ireland’s greatest ever player for me, but Zidane was an absolute artist, one of the greatest ever. Keane was never better than him, at any stage of his career. What’s more, he’d be honest enough to say that.

Could have beaten a weak Spain team and then s Korea to get to a semi final

22grena deluded as fuck, 2002 was a rare qualification in that era for Ireland.

would have beaten the spanish anyway

@@fraz6354 not impossible a weak Spain team and then s Korea to get to a semi final

@@fraz6354 True but ireland had some very good players at the time. Damien Duff amd Robbie Keane played their best football at that WC. Steve Finnan was coming into his own along with Ian Harte. Shay Given was arguably the best keeper in the premier league. Not to mention we had alot of experience in Steve Stanton and Niall Quinn with over 100 caps each. And on top of that we had arguably the best centre mid in the premier league if not the world. It was our best hope of getting to a semi final and considering that S korea made the semis, who knows we may have made a final. Remember we drew against Germany in the group stage without Roy Keane. We had a very good side at the time.

Could have got to a semi final...should have beaten Spain in reality. But yes,to win it would have been a stretch

@@RhythmFish1 but u didn't like u said u lost

@@bradn176 Obviously "brad". I see it´s pointless even trying to engage in any kind of civilised conversation here.

Your old as fuck father is deluded . Hes losing his alzeimer mind .

Greece won the Euros 2 years later. A terrible Greece team. Ireland with Roy Keane - he had just won the Epl player of the year award and was the best midfielder in the world at tbe time - would have had a real go. Although beating Brazil does seem unlikely but like I said... An unknown Greek team won the euros 2 years later

Dunphy

ireland

Realistically no

china.

onepunchmicky6885 that wasn’t Duffer who said that.

Weak Spain side and then s Korea to get to a semi final and then anything could happen

Mia Hanrahan Don’t be silly now !

It was a rigged world Cup South Korea semi final 😂

nobber d robber Eh....what ??

nobber d robber Council estate ! Thanks for coming back weeks later !! And I grew up in a council estate without living in one so fuck right off !!!

The players who stayed had a lot in common with Mick McCarthy! Mediocre!

@@gelert66 Keane let his country down, also, he shat himself when Walters said let's ave i!!

@@deejarrett8291 Shat himself?? Roy's exact words were ' Jon has my address'.Definitely sounds like someone who bricked it

@@deejarrett8291 Roy did more for his country in being sent home with his ability to stand up for the game of football in terms of standards and professionalism.
