A bloke on his way home from work in Dublin comes to a dead halt in traffic and thinks to himself, this traffic seems worse than usual, nothing's moving. He notices a Garda Officer walking back and forth between the lines of cars so he rolls down his window and asks:
"What's the hold up?"

The officer replies:
"It's the Man Utd and Ireland captain, Roy Keane, he's just so depressed about losing the Premiership to Arsenal, being knocked out of Europe, finishing below Liverpool, winning naff all after gobbing off all season and now that he's been sent home from the World Cup, he's threatening to douse himself in petrol and set fire to himself. He says everybody hates him so I'm walking up and down the cars collecting for him"

"Oh really?" says the man, "How much have you collected?"

"So far, only about 2.5 litres, but a lot of people are still siphoning"

other countries would be disgusted if their team were beat 4-0 not the tribes?

Those Leprauchaun outfits annoy the feck out of me

Euro 2012: Why is Roy Keane so out of touch with his Ireland roots?

The former national captain is starting to sound as if he has lived in England long enough to qualify for the prawn sandwich brigade of supporters

Gregg Bakowski in Sopot guardian.co.uk, Friday 15 June 2012 14.09 BST

"I think the players and even the supporters, they all have to change their mentality – it's just nonsense from players speaking after the games about how great the supporters are."


You have to be a pretty cold-hearted man to find fault with the Republic of Ireland fans after their lung-busting effort to show that they could emerge victorious in the supporter stakes, if not on the pitch, where the team was pulled apart in a ruthless and, if we're being honest, not particularly unexpected thrashing by the world champions Spain in Gdansk on Thursday. Perhaps the kind of man who could deliberately get a Manchester City rival carried off following a disagreement some years earlier and admit as much in his own autobiography. Or Roy Keane, to be precise.

Keane's criticism of the attitude of supporters who have travelled at great expense while earning nothing but praise from their Polish hosts in Poznan, Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia is as miserable as it is nonsensical. In fact, it's more akin to the views of the prawn sandwich brigade whom he once lambasted at Old Trafford for their lack of support than it is to your average supporter.

The point is that his view is synonymous with the disconnect between supporters and players in the modern age. That there are still fans out there who are willing to belt out spine-tingling songs in support of a limited and below-average bunch of players, in an age when crowds are fuelled by a consumer expectancy made worse by the wealth gap between those on the pitch and those in the stands, should be lauded.

Those who agree with Keane probably go to very few matches, immerse themselves in cold, calculated tactical analyses and have probably never experienced the thrill of leaving a stadium after a defeat knowing full well that the fans of the team that won left the ground frustrated that their support wasn't a patch on yours.

The Ireland fans who returned to Sopot from Gdansk on Thursday night were still in high spirits despite the defeat. It may be a cliche to say they were loud and enjoyed a drink, but cliches and stereotypes exist because they are largely true. It's frustrating to hear them repeated over and over again but it doesn't mean they're not pertinent, even though many viewers would like a more original soundtrack.

Perhaps Keane has lived in England too long. Perhaps he's forgotten what fun is. Perhaps he should straighten out that scowl and head down to Montecasino in Sopot and loosen up a bit by belting out Fields of Athenry with the fans himself.

Actually, scratch that. He probably wouldn't be welcome

Those who agree with Keane ... have probably never experienced the thrill of leaving a stadium after a defeat knowing full well that the fans of the team that won left the ground frustrated that their support wasn't a patch on yours.

Is this a joke?

Who gives a fcuk who wins the sing-song!

Football is not all about winning, the fans expressed an attitude towards life that is rare. This is our characteristic, to enjoy in success or failure, never to despair in times of adversity. It gave an impression to all who watched that the Irish spirit i still one that is to love life, live to fight another day. Keane walked out on his people and now lives in England. He has no perspective on Ireland and the spirit of its people anymore.

You'd think the fans would have the decency to thrash some of the Polish cities or something serious to give you lot something to moan about i mean like it's awful that they where supposting their teams and singing songs, ain't it??

I meant GOD-'s post

And if they get pps number will probably stay.

shut up you seething mess FFS, boring drivel over and over again with you, if you hate the country so much move away FFS

oh and Thierry Henry was a voodoo doll and the poor unfortunate referee who made an honest "human mistake" was entitled to be inflicted with such vile?.

Oh your all so effing wonderful short memories for the worlds greatest supporters?.

Bore off

betfair are you taking the p!ss?, that was a cut and paste from a good media source.
