I'm only repeating what the stats people announced.
Ireland conceded more goals that any other team to appear in the finals.
I agree that doesn't tell half the story but it is a fact.
Ireland's real achievement was qualifying with a team of veterans and journeymen.
Netherlands don't count as in-fighting and egotism are national sports with them it seems.

A lot of people in Ireland don't consider him a true great he embarrassed himself going home from the world cup like a big child.

Doubtful RK would not get into the current Spanish midfield so how would he be one of the two greatest midfielders ever?

Hang on Faz, slow down, you are jumping all over the place.
Roy Keane would not have laced Liam Brady's boots, nor was he anywhere near Johnny Giles. Ireland's two truly brilliant players. Paul McGrath was no slouch either .
Judging Graeme Souness solely as a player: Probably the greatest central midfielder we ever had.

no one is getting touchy about ireland being [oops]. we know we were [oops], no one is saying any different. the issue here is some people are trying to turn a liverpool forum into some kind of nationalist rally. its not on and will not be tolerated. Listen if you want to turn this topic into some sort of national debate then thats up to you, my comments are all about how poor and embarrassing the Irish football team is nothing more nothing less, if it's a Liverpool forum like you said why are people on here talking about International Football, my comments are all regarding the International football side of things, I never started this topic I am just commenting on it, the problem is there are fans on here who cant handle the truth that there International team is sh*t. actually it wasnt me who said it was a liverpool forum so do your research. if you want to have a go at a minnow team then be my guest but in my opinion people who do that are the same kind of people who laugh when dogs get hit by cars etc etc. so basically i think your opinion is a joke and youre a bad wind up merchant. oh and let me guess, if england do well you'll be all up the teams arse but if they dont you'll say you were never interested in the first place and find some way to blame modern day fans and over paid players. why dont you show some back bone for christ sake, and a little class while youre at it.

He came from Barca, to bring us Joy
He's five foot seven, he's football heaven
please don't take my Luis away.
