Comments on: That Goal: Shame All Round Really. http://unprofessionalfoul.com/2009/11/19/that-goal-shame-all-round-really/ ` Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:10:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: phil http://unprofessionalfoul.com/2009/11/19/that-goal-shame-all-round-really/comment-page-1/#comment-64918 phil Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:39:45 +0000 http://unprofessionalfoul.com/?p=10320#comment-64918 Roy Keane's had an axe to grind with FAI for some time, as he believes, inexplicably that Corkmen are treated poorly by the national team. There are some that believe it's him that got into Stephen Ireland's head (himself a Corkman), and dissuaded him from even trying to get back into the national side. Couple that with the fact that Keane also seems to assume the manager's spot with the national side is his God-given right, and anything Roy Keane says about FAI should be taken with a f**king salt mine.

God, Roy Keane sucks at life. Yes, how indeed could they POSSIBLY let offside players get past them.

It seems wrong to selectively punish people for the ref's mistakes.

Evans speared Drogba while attacking the ball, sure ref should have called. ZZ incident was off the ball and regardless of whether the ref saw, which he did, he was screwed after the game as there was no way he was escaping punishment. In TH's case Fifa are silent, there is no punishment coming and thats wrong. @UIKhandolt

The only reason there are referees at all is because everyone cheats, whether it's little bumps and elbows in the box during a corner, playing on when the ball has just crossed out of bounds, or a handball. This just happens to be a very obvious, and cruel incident, and though it sucks for the Irish (and I'd be very mad if the same fate befell the U.S.), I think that the capacity that football has for the unexpected is what makes it so great.
