I’m in Ireland at the moment, on leg #4 of a round-the-world trip. Lead item on the news tonight, and lead story on the news analysis program afterwards, is Corkman and folk-hero “Roy Keane’s”:http://hjem.get2net.dk/mufc/squad/16.htm decision to end the civil war in Irish football and “make himself available again”:http://www.rte.ie/sport/2004/0413/keaneroy.html for selection to the international team. After reaching the agreement, Keane’s solicitor issued the following statement:
bq. Following discussions with “Brian Kerr”:http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/republic_of_ireland/2697905.stm and “Alex Ferguson”:http://hem.passagen.se/bully/Man_ferguson.html, Roy Keane has agreed to make himself available for selection international games in the future.
“I tell you I have signed my own death warrant,” Keane did not add.

I’m so tired of Roy Keane. (Full disclosure: I’m a gooner). If I were a fan of the Irish National Team, I’d say forget him, just keep Damien Duff and Robbie Kean healthy.

Is this post intended as a sly reference to the fact that Keano is a known admirer of Mr. Collins (known the world as having Liam Neeson’s visage)?
