I'm live in Saipan; I was here when the team came. Folks today at the beach - St. Patrick's Day, a good excuse to chill and drink - told me of this video: Excellent work. The pitch, as the video said, had to have been shite: this ain't no soccer - ahem, football - place. It's a shame they didn't have the greatest time here; it's a fun place. Not what one might need, however, when preparing for a World Cup. Good to see Eli and Bob getting interviewed. FIFA has since built three new pitches, artificial turf, that the lads I know here who play say are nice. Y'all come visit, Ireland. We've got legal weed now.
The craziest thing about that specific World Cup is that one of the stand out players was Nicky Butt, who was 3rd choice at United behind Keane and Scholes 😂
He wasn’t 3rd choice at all. He started well over the majority of games in the premier league for about a decade before that World Cup. He gets overlooked as this understudy to Keane and scholes and it’s couldn’t be further from the truth.
@@JimmyBlack3308this faking injury thing is something only Keane has ever alleged. The accounts from McCarthy and other Ireland players don't mention this. After receiving a torrent of abuse from Keane, McCarthy asked him why he refused to play in the return leg against Iran when he previously said he'd play. Keane twisted this round into this faking injury allegation to justify his appalling behaviour. He's done a great job of pulling the wool over people's eyes.
@@mikeypc3592and you were part of the conversation were you?? Keane is a born winner and leader of men, he's never done it anywhere else so why would a proud irishman jump ship at a world cup
Keane was unfairly singled out and the effects have affected Irish football as a whole to this very day, it's like ever since Saipan football has been on a steady decline, it will still be talked about in another 20/30 years
Finding out about this saipan story over a decade after this happen keane is right Seeing how the football (soccer) federation was run they were only were happy to be in the world cup And we see how many trophies mccarthy shows the lack of winning mentality
I come from warrington the home of the woves/'the wire'' where Roy's a big a fan of our team I also have been a united fan since 1975 so its obvious I love him to bits well done skipper you deserved well better from both your country and your club managers 😢
I had to laugh when Keane branded McCarthy an " English C==T ", as he'd inadvertently insulted half the R O I squad.11 of whom were ALSO born in England.
As a Liverpool supporter, I love Keano & all Irish , English Scottish Premier leagues. ...p.s I fully enjoyed watching the Rugby Six Nations Game Ireland's final score 24 v 14. Loved It Roy Keano Top Respect ! Walk On Walk On With HOPE In Our Hearts- - Keano - *You'll Never Walk Alone ! * ' IT'S EVERGREEN ' ❤💚💙 💚🤍🤎
Keane was right to be pissed off about the pathetic set up but he should have saved it until after the tournament. Slagging off his teammates and manager, BEFORE it even started, was just him being an egomaniac. And McCarthy was right about Iran, Keane simply couldn't be arsed. He wasnt injured, he played 2 days later a full game. He just didn't want to go.
It's far more simple than most might think. Keane had just stopped his problem drinking and he was emotionally all over the place. How was McCarthy going to understand that?
Referees, linesman, the FA etc along with Slur purple nose Ferguson running the game was the main reason for their success. They have been playing under different rules than everyone else for over 30 years and counting.
The guy played for man utd where he will of had the best of the best in everything . So to go from that to having next to nothing in everything was sure to piss him right off
I agree. He had a right to be angry. He however lets people push his buttons and could get the upper hand if he did not blow his rag. He’s my favorite player of all time, but he loses when he loses it.
The Irish FA should of sat Keane down and said what should our preparation be please help us. Keane shouldn't have spit the dummy though either so as always the truth is somewhere in the middle
If Keano really wanted to play in that World Cup, he would have stayed with the squad or flown back to play. For any notion that Ireland could have won the World Cup had Keano played is about as daft as me saying I could have won the National Lottery or Euro Millions if I bought my ticket. Do truly great sports people ever back down from a challenge or walk away from a fight?
@@Mani26031981 Amazingly, there's still a small minority of Irish who think we would have won that World Cup 20 years ago if Roy Keane played. I'm so very convinced we would NOT have won the World Cup if Keano played to the point that I would Bet on the Death Penalty for myself (if Ireland won) versus getting a free brand new hatchback car (when Ireland fail to win the 2002 World Cup)
@@rayfootblogs agreed. Even if Ireland had beaten Spain in that match there’s no guarantee that they wouldn’t have come up against Giovanni Trappatoni’s Italy team, which only lost a controversial game by a golden goal themselves. There’s a reason why it’s said that if ifs and buts were sweets and nuts, we’d all have a Merry Christmas! 😉😎👍💪
@@Mani26031981 Even the thoughts of "We might have gone further if Keano played" is questionable also because I felt that Saipan fiasco galvanised all players in the Ireland squad to perform better and raise their game which is what they did.
@@rayfootblogs absolutely. McCarthy said it himself. If Keane had stuck around with his negative attitude, Ireland wouldn't have gone as far as they did.
Brilliant little programme… as an English 🏴 man ….. your man was saying with Roy in ye team yous could av maybe went and won it …. Tbf Roy could av been the difference… he’s pure class …. It’s a shame really
No, McCarthy and FAI empty suits let the country down by accepting such appalling standards and Roy simply pointed it out….and look where it led to. We aren’t fucking qualifying for tournaments anymore because of this shit.
With him driving the team on, and with proper preparation, they could have made a really good fist of it. The favourites misfired and the Netherlands didn’t even qualify. The final four were a Brazil team who nearly didn’t qualify, and a non-vintage Germany. There was scope for Ireland being the surprise team as the nucleus of that side was very good. The surprise team ‘role’ was eventually filled by South Korea.
This would make a great comedy film….well, it already is. You have to feel sympathy for Keane. The Irish FA really made appalling arrangements and McCarthy confronting him in a team meeting and questioning his integrity was about as stupid as it gets. The situation could have been resolved in private. Keane was hotheaded, but when he had calmed down was always honest when he had gone too far and was Ireland’s only great player. The Irish players were dishonest in pretending they were shocked and themselves thrown under the bus by McCarthy in being held responsible for Keane not returning. Ireland has never been the same team since Keane retired from international football.
What is your point the leadership was for everyone questioned after that. Blindly following orders only leads to gas Chambers. The players probably figured it was their chance to shine.
It's funny how Keane tried that s in Ireland and then when he tried doing that again by this time in 2005 he got his ass thrown out and transferred to Celtic. Trying to call out the players and the manager in that MUTV interview and Sir Alex would not let him do that s. Once Keane started to challenge Sir Alex that's where he drew the line and again he promptly got rid of him. It had to be done, Sir Alex did the right thing and in the 2006/07 season things would change for the better with players like Van Der Sar, Vidic, Evra, and Carrick United would go onto their next glory years.
Facts since this event have proven Mick McCarthy to be right. Keane was a great footballer but he was never and still is not a great human being. Keane proved himself to be a coward on the field when he made tackles aimed at physically hurting players - there's no other word but cowardice for it. What he did to Haaland was an act of cowardice. As a manager there are a number of stories where players stood up to his bully boy tactics and he bottled it when challenged. His abysmal record as a manager is proof that he can only play football - no player would play for him because he has almost zero man-management skills. He should stick to talking sh!te on the TV and he's not even good at that.
This is a harsh statement and not based on facts. Halaand played a game days after that challenge. It was a dirty challenge, but that was it. It didn't end his career, but the media spun it like it did. Hes not an amazing manager, but he's not abysmal. Getting a team promoted to the prem in your first season is a tremendous achievement.
Nonsense. McCarty wasn’t perfect but was an essential part of Charlton’s success. He was a decent manager. How many world cups have we gotten to since? Yes, zero.
Ir ish, Engl ish, Scott ish? Wel ish? You always get one that messes up a good comment. 🙄 You might think it's a strange and weird comment, but if you read some of my other comments, then you might agree. Now you're just thinking you've wasted 30 seconds of your life reading this. 😁 You're welcome.
If Ireland had beaten Spain it was South Korea next. It was a good side of the draw after That. We drew with Germany who were the finalists in fairness.
Keane's ego is justified though. He drove that Man United team to trophy after trophy for years and years. How can you say he's ego is out of control, he turns up in his prime to play for his Country in the World Cup and there's no footballs, no training kit, no medical equipment and the training pitch was rock hard and bobbly and unfit to train on. He wasn't going there to dress up as a leprechaun and have a knees up for taking part in the World Cup, he was dedicated and serious, far more serious than anyone else in the squad or the management staff. He had every right to lose his temper as the Captain of his Country if he identified failures within the preparation. Nobody else in that squad or management staff had operated consistently at the top level of football or been held to the standards that Roy Keane demanded from his United teammates. The Irish squad and management we're appearing to just be happy to take part and wave the flag. Roy Keane wasn't there for a song and dance. He wanted to give his all and wanted everyone else there to do the same. To have that level of passion, then to land at training camp with no footballs, training kit and medical equipment must have boiled his piss way beyond anger. I believe he was more than justified to lose his rag with the planning from the management staff.
Ignorant twaddle. Criticise him all you want, but at least be honest about it. Listen to what players who played with him say about him, and you know that's not true. So again: Ignorant twaddle.
@@FortValance it was the same for everyone not just him and as their leader he had every right to be mad but then knuckle down with your teamates till they moved on elsewhere a few days later,a leader doesnt take the huff and leave his pals to it,u trying to tell me irwin staunton given kilbane duff quinn and robbie keane didnt have standards or were serious about the world cup?they just kept quiet because they knew they would soon move onto the proper preparations
@user-pw6gm1tu6q No I'm not saying that I'm saying that Roy Keane was on a different planet to the rest of them when it came to professionalism, standards, preparation and attitude towards winning.... Keane had a desire to win in almost every game that I've only ever seen once before and that was from Steven Gerrard in the Champions League Final against AC Milan. Roy Keane had that fire in his eyes almost every single time he stepped foot on a football pitch. Keane wasn't the fastest, wasn't the most technical player, didn't do tricks, didn't turn defences inside out, didn't score a lot of goals, wasn't the most athletic and in all honesty.... wasn't the best at anything related to the specific abilities of professional footballers... He didn't have to be brilliant at everything, he was a solid 7 or 8 out of 10 at everything.. consistently... every game of every season for his entire career... Roy's attitude towards culture and standards as the captain of man united is what brought them the majority of the success.... The players were scared of Sir Alex They were petrified of Roy Keane Can't have a lazy day in training when the club captain is busting a gut in every session all week every week..... there's nowhere to hide from the captain, he's there by your side all day every day, he's stood next to you in the shower to make sure you wash your budgie properly, he's screaming in your face if you lose the ball in training. Keane made the players around him reach their potential by relentlessly driving the standards, the importance of the club, the badge, the shirt, the fans, your teammates, manager and opposition. He prepared that squad for war on the pitch as gladiators for Manchester United week in week out. That's why Roy Keane was captain of man United and the Republic of Ireland. The players you mentioned were all top players and had great careers but you can't compare any of them to Roy Keane in a serious world..... How many of those would have been a regular starter for England had they been English? Roy Keane would have Captained England or any other Country he represented....... fact
@@FortValance its all a myth mate he says so himself all this standards and proffessionalism nonsense he was as big a piss head as anyone,had a terrible diet etc would drink till early hours then train he even ate a kebab before a match once,its a character he plays up to he is walking contradiction and only had these mythical high standards when it suited him and his ego and as a stick to bash others with,actually think about it,how well would you train or play if u are scared to make a mistake and your captain throws u under the bus in public,it doesnt work id much rather follow someone like gerrard who just leads by example,keane has never practised what he preached
why?hes a footballer thats lived a life of priviledge that pretends to have non negiotable high standards its all a myth,he admits he was as unprofessional as anyone at utd,he has no principals he always sticks to its just what suits his ego at the time then its twisted into his mythical narrative,have some respect for yourself man hes nothing to be scared of
Great player and commitment. but as a pundit I only hear him talk about effort passion fight, never anything about tactical awareness . maybe why never made it as a manager

How was McCarthy going to understand that?
Thanks for that, I've been wondering for years how that raging alcoholic captained the most successful football team in English history for years..
It’s true. He was trying to get sober.
Can anyone imagine an Irish midfield three comprising of Roy Keane, Johnny Giles and Liam Brady🤔? WOW
Keane had beef with McCarty well before 2002. Keane holds grudges and was using Saipan as an excuse to get back at McCarty.
The main reason Man Utd had all that success! Man Utd’s greatest captain and a great footballer
Ferguson was the main reason ... Keane arrived the year utd won the double
And Keane was the "MAIN" reason
Man Utd won the Double Sunshine

Referees, linesman, the FA etc along with Slur purple nose Ferguson running the game was the main reason for their success.

This was superbly put together, great job! Keane going to the hacks behind his team's back was sly, but his frustrations were warranted.
Totally unwarranted.Very sly!Contrived completely by Keane due to his home life!
Not warranted to let his country down. The FAI are a sham of an organisation but no one else walked. It was all about Roy.

Not having a field is worse than nothing.
They didn’t have a state of the art training facility???
I guess they never watched Rocky IV
If there was any mystery and doubt about a situation where Roy Keane says, 'xyz'...
Then 'xyz' it is.

They were petrified of Roy Keane
Can't have a lazy day in training when the club captain is busting a gut in every session all week every week..... there's nowhere to hide from the captain, he's there by your side all day every day, he's stood next to you in the shower to make sure you wash your budgie properly, he's screaming in your face if you lose the ball in training.
Keane made the players around him reach their potential by relentlessly driving the standards, the importance of the club, the badge, the shirt, the fans, your teammates, manager and opposition.
He prepared that squad for war on the pitch as gladiators for Manchester United week in week out.
That's why Roy Keane was captain of man United and the Republic of Ireland.
The players you mentioned were all top players and had great careers but you can't compare any of them to Roy Keane in a serious world.....
How many of those would have been a regular starter for England had they been English?
Roy Keane would have Captained England or any other Country he represented....... fact
@@FortValance its all a myth mate he says so himself all this standards and proffessionalism nonsense he was as big a piss head as anyone,had a terrible diet etc would drink till early hours then train he even ate a kebab before a match once,its a character he plays up to he is walking contradiction and only had these mythical high standards when it suited him and his ego and as a stick to bash others with,actually think about it,how well would you train or play if u are scared to make a mistake and your captain throws u under the bus in public,it doesnt work id much rather follow someone like gerrard who just leads by example,keane has never practised what he preached
Wang paste
PISH
No more english
I loved Roy keane as a player even BETTER as a pundit tells the truth also if he came after me I'd shit myself 😂
why?hes a footballer thats lived a life of priviledge that pretends to have non negiotable high standards its all a myth,he admits he was as unprofessional as anyone at utd,he has no principals he always sticks to its just what suits his ego at the time then its twisted into his mythical narrative,have some respect for yourself man hes nothing to be scared of
Great player and commitment. but as a pundit I only hear him talk about effort passion fight, never anything about tactical awareness . maybe why never made it as a manager
