Sunderland - great for Ireland..

I respect that. I only wanted to know why so many Irishmen still love him.

My uncles all hate him, but then they're LFC fans who sided with McCarthy at the time.

Sometimes walking away is the best thing you can do. The Cork hurlers went on strike over traning facilities (sound familiar) a few years back. The got the situation improved and went on to reach 4 all ireland finals in a row, winning two of them.

Keane knew he was never going to play for Ireland in Japan. He always knows exactly what he is doing and used the situation in his favor. I, like many other Irish people, have kept an eye on Sunderland and glad to see them promoted but that's where it ends. I am a Liverpool fan and Keane has an eye on the mancs job so there is no way I am going to wish him well.

Even if he felt he was ambushed (and by the sounds of things he was by Mick, Quinn, Kelly etc) how can you walk away from your country at anytime, let alone when they need you most?
I'd give my left leg (coz my right is my good one) to play for Ireland. That guy chose not to.

Great player and all that, but I can't forgive him.

Is the correct answer

Personally I like to see any Irish person do well and credit where it's due he has done a good job up there and he had fantastic ability as a player but he'll always be a traitor in my mind

If I ever see keane in real life again I'm going to put him in a headlock and not let him go until he apologises about walking out on us.
