Was either off the ball or second captains during the week.
Was purely speculation tho on the part of whoever said it; certainly I havent heard anyone claim that they have insider knowledge. Merely opinion that MoN and Keane were pissed off on Tuesday night and theyre bringing some ppl to france more by default than anything else and they want to put pressure on the underperforming players.

Basically Keane may not have been freelancing, despite appearances

I very much doubt it for the very reason that Keane mouths off all the time whether its as a pundit, as a manager or assistant or even as a player.  Its what he does.

He was right to do it in any event, that was a shockingly bad performance on Tuesday evening with many players well below par

Good few of them deserved a boot up the hole

THAT S WHY MON  WANTS ROY AROUND FOR ONE WAY OR THE OTHER...


MON NEEDS HIS  MAN TO MOTIVATE PLAYERS...  i think that was needed....a  Mon Strategy all over the place for me!! 

More sh*t stirring from what's just an an anti-Irish right wing rag that I wouldn't wipe my arse with!

Even if it is true, those players who are apparently yapping about it need to grow a pair! There's probably much stronger bollockings dished out at local parks up and down the land every weekend and the players on the receiving and just get in with it without picking up obscene wages.

And that is all true.

But have other international assistant managers gone out and hung their players out to dry in the media?

Keane should be focusing on why all those players underperformed rather than passing the blame.

Having Keane in the camp could turn this whole tournament into a circus.

If McGeady got slaughtered he deservesld it, didn't try a leg first half on Tuesday and is lucky to be on the plane to France. And if anyone is surprised at a Roy outburst they have been living on the moon for the past 20 years ffs
