He was an average footballer who has ridden the coattails of this incident for years and still makes a decent living off rubbishing Roy Keane, arguably our greatest footballer. McAteer has zero winners medals, Keane has 19 including the EPL, FA Cup, and Champions League. Enough said.

McAteer was a good late 90’s early 00’s player, I always remember him putting the effort in, can’t say he was the greatest but he certainly wasn’t the worst. When it comes to Keane? Greatest all round midfielder I’d ever seen along with Captain Marvel, crazy that both played for United and Keane picked up the torch and carried it on. Utd haven’t had a player like him since, I don’t think the prem has had a player like him since he retired. Look around world football, can’t get a top striker, can’t get a battle ready box to box midfield. There was at least 10 of each in each of the big leagues during the 90’s and early 00’s I don’t appreciate how football has became less skilful and entertaining over the years.

Might be the opposite of what you are actually saying? Even Uk players are more technical on the whole now, and the rules have changed with regard to mf battles. They can't tackle like they used to, hence the game is more pass and move for all players, like what Man City do, teams aspire to that type of play, so we are not going to get players like him or Vierra in the same sense.

Players like Jason McAteer, David Connelly etc, where bang on average players at best and not in Keane's class.

Roy Keane was right,,,, amateur hour it looked to me .

The training surface was a joke and if a player had broken an ankle in a pothole the whole story would be different . Keane wanted the best for the Irish Team and unfortunately Saipan was the wrong venue for the training camp. Why should Keane or any of the players have had to risk an injury on that sh$t training surface?

That's a wonderful Irish accent you have Mr McAteer. You just know Keane HATED all the plastic Paddy's..

Ya, and he said as much to Mick, which was a big reason he was right to send him home. Robbie Keane by contrast was noted by many like Steven Reid for example for going above and beyond to make sure they felt welcome in the squad. I know which Keane I'd rather as Ireland captain.

@@stypemann633 he sure did. Keane absolutely hated the fact that the Ireland team was full of players who probably had never stepped foot in the country before being selected to represent them.

"Naval gazing" journalism. Such a lack of originality. Telling that this is the standard of OTB content, plus the most significant event in McAteer's career (and he's delighted to think he's relevant). I'm sure we'll see another roll out of this tripe in 5 and 10 years time. Never would see this on BT, Sky, BBC or decent fan channels.

This some load of rubbish. I wish if any player from that time were to speak about it just say it as they saw it not butter up other players and manager then give a non story about themselves. Also the only people that have the right to chat about this don't even want to talk about it anymore. Move on OTB Really really really old news OTB are starting to get stale
