A nation in crisis! Ireland has been engulfed in a paroxysm of anger, grief and confusion. When people ask 'have you heard the news?' you know there can only be one story they are referring to. Roy Keane has been kicked out of the Irish world cup team. The greatest Irish player of his generation, Keane was the lynchpin of Ireland's hopes to progress in the tounament. He had threatened to leave on Tuesday after complaining about the conditions of the training ground. However this interview in the Irish Times today sparked off a futher row with team manager Mick Mc'Carthy, which apparently ended with Keane launching a tirade of abuse against him. At which point McCarthy basically told him to fuck off home with his attitude. Bravo for Mick. ...but the whole team might as well head home now....
