There's been a shroud of secrecy about this incident for nearly 20 years but it's time to finally lift the lid on this.   The media refuse to write about it and just wish to sweep it under the carpet and forget it ever happened. So what actually happened and who was at fault?

I actually saw a documentary about it on one of those cable channels the other day.

It was truly horrible, with blood and guts and casualties everywhere. Lots of people were left traumatised, and suffer to this this very day.

It should never be forgotten.

Apparently something happened at the away game in Iran, was alluded to on the radio yesterday, no details and I'd never heard of it before

Think the plan was hatched there when Roy wasn’t about!

Mick and Roy didn't like each other. Going to Saipan was your standard FAI incompetence act. Add in media sh*te-stirring, and you've got a farce turned into a footballing catastrophe.

One of the principal actors has since served time in jail. 

All very English Red Top-like.

Completing 90 minutes for United against Leicester 48 hours after the Iran game, and completing 90 minutes against Bayern Munich on the following Tuesday, followed by another 90 minutes vs Arsenal on the Sunday.

Some turnaround from not being able to play one game! Within 2 days it was healed enough to play 90 minutes and it healed so much that he was able to play 3 games in 8 days!

Must have been on the magic beans or had a visit from the pope.

Roy was our greatest player of all time and should be remembered for that along with his professionalism that Mick McCarthy nor the FAI have ever embraced.

He was the only player to do that (complete lack of professionalism) and then decide that he was too professional to be dealing with bad facilities for a few days.

No magic beans, but the Pope was definitely in the dressing-rooms.
