Robbie Keane

Robbie Keane.

He gets a lot of stick off some of the fans whether justified or not, and we can probably all agree he can be frustrating at times. And maybe his press conferences aren't the most charismatic.

But on Wednesday night he was immense, he was everywhere, his finish was sublime. He lead from the front with his attitude.

I'd much prefer to talk about our captain then theirs.

he was magnificent, gave it everything, a real captain's performance, probably his best performance ever for club or country...and he's not the only one it could be said for.

Keane is a legend for Ireland. He had a brief period under Staundon when he was tactically without discipline.  Under Trap he has been top class and against France he was immense.  The amount of goals he has scored is unreal and has scored against.

Spain
Yugoslavia
Germany
Italy
France
Holland

and all of them were competitive goals and vital goals except the Holland one.  

robbies would have to be player of the campaign for me he scored some vital goals was it 6 or 7 in total this time and really led from the top, last campaign under stan he lost his way and got alot of stick every game, he never stops running and is a good example for young lads growing up, playing up front is not all about scoring goals his work when we dont have the ball is unreal at times the amount of chasing he does, berbatov would learn a thing or two from watching him in fairness

well done Robbie hope he gets to fifty goals he should do it would be some achievement

Echo all the above lads and having been lucky to meet and talk with the chap, I can also say he is a very nice lad.   The fookers I heard giving him stick when we lost to France in Croker made me wanna spit on them. 

Yep agree with all above, there are some total arseholes out there who love to give him stick for some resason, 'that keane is only a w**ker' etc, where they get this from i really dont know, ye just know they are not real fans at all. Keane has been unbelievable for us over the years and if he wasnt there id love to know who would have taken his place.

Couldn't agree with this more. I really do think Keane had an impact on berba at spurs, he made it so much easier for him than the players at united are
