[Zopperoni]

I think Ireland are going to have some trouble without Roy Keane, the man is the engine of the team and a great leader on the pitch.
I'm not saying Mick McCarthy made a wrong decision, he did the right thing, but one of the reasons, IMO, that Ireland did better than The Netherlands in qualifying was that they had a leader on the pitch in the form of Roy Keane.

Dont try using those evil mind games like logic here my friend. Theres no logic involved. This is football.
